"BATGIRL #44, out this Wednesday from DC Comics, continues the dramatic tale of magical realities and fairytale plots. This is a plot that turns subtext into text, forcing emotions and fears to the surface.

Last we saw, Batgirl was battling a dragon fueled by fear and love – literally. It’s probably not what you expected to hear, but to be fair, Barbara is probably feeling the same level of surprise right about now.

The real question is; what is more surprising? That Batgirl is fighting a literal dragon, or that she is slowly falling for Jason? A man who has stood up against her family and her superhero persona? The fact that this plot arc forces both surprises together is really icing on the cake."
