It was probably no coincidence that she left right before the "Year of the Villain" tie-ins began, and I wish they had let her in on what was going on in other books and how the character would be affected.<br /><br />I wish I could say the book gets better after Castellucci's first 8 issues, but it's still overwritten and trite as hell, and she keeps pushing Barbara and Jason Bard as a great love story despite all the crap he pulled in Batman Eternal. Issue #50 has just been solicited as this series' last, and I hope it gets relaunched next year with a more inspired writer.shagamuhttp://shagamu.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-33421784424937307242020-07-14T08:41:14.636-05:002020-07-14T08:41:14.636-05:00Its so sad that Scott left Batgirl because of edit...Its so sad that Scott left Batgirl because of editorial interference and not letting her be part of the Bat-summit meetings. You would think they'd want the writer of Batgirl to be involved in decisions regarding Batgirl and its supporting cast. Sigh...<br /><br />I thought the book with her writing was the best since the Burnside era. Based on her Transformers work, I bet it was building to a great conclusion too.Noxexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936286805430204071noreply@blogger.com
