For any fans of DC Comics premier female fighting team, the public wonder over whether their most recognizable founder would sign on for a tour of duty in the New 52 is over. DC revealed today via its The Source blog that Batgirl will join the team officially in next month’s issue #4.
“Sure, Barbara Gordon (a.k.a. Batgirl) was reluctant at first,” writer Duane Swierczynski said in a teaser-filled statement. “She didn’t necessarily want to be hanging out with a gang of outlaws…and she has serious doubts about at least one member of team. But to Batgirl, friendship trumps everything, and you’ll see exactly how she finds her way to a permanent spot on the team in issues #4 and 5.”
The news comes after an earlier tease hit about the character’s guest-starring in the book
