Two Bats are better than one! Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown star in the team-up book you’ve been waiting for—under the mentorship of Barbara Gordon, the original Batgirl!

Batgirls Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown are only able to navigate the dark, gritty, and oftentimes scary city of Gotham by leaning on the bright light that is their best-friendship.
 
Mentored by Oracle, the Batgirls move to the other side of town where Barbara Gordon can keep a better eye on them while the hacker Seer is still invading their lives. Steph may be too rash sometimes, and Cass doesn’t speak much—but what they lack in similarities, they make up for with their mutual respect and love for each other…and what makes them stronger together as Batgirls! And they may be good at kicking ass, but they are just trying their best to be normal teenagers—who’ll borrow the keys to a muscle car that belonged to a bad guy and perhaps give it a joyride around town without a driver’s license, then race to get back home to Oracle by curfew!  
 
Splashing the pages with bright colors against a dark backdrop of Gotham, Batgirls is the pizza slumber party you don’t want to miss!
This volume collects Batgirls #1-6, and the Batgirls short stories from Batman #115-117.
Born in Pisa, Becky Cloonan began her career self-publishing mini-comics in 1999. Since then she has gone on to work with publishers like DC, Vertigo, Dark Horse, Harper Collins, and Marvel, winning a few Eisner Awards along the way, both for self-published books. In 2012 Becky broke a glass ceiling, becoming the first woman to illustrate an issue of Batman. In her spare time, she illustrates for Mondo, Criterion, Roadburn Festival, Konkani, and DeathWaltz Records, and has worked with bands like Clutch, Abbath, X Japan, and Black Sabbath.

Michael Conrad has written for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, and ComiXology Originals. Some of his work includes: Wonder Woman, Batgirls, Action Comics, and more!
