Black Canary has been “Batgirled,” or so they say. With the first issue officially out, we can now dig into what that actually means for this fan favorite character. If you’ve been reading Cameron Stewart’s and Brenden Fletcher’s Batgirl, you might have a good idea already. Fletcher, on his own here, takes much of the style and sensibilities he’s infused into Batgirl, and done much of the same thing to her once-bestie, Black Canary. Fletcher quickly establishes the new status quo, and launches our titular star on a personal and unexpected new journey.
The new run of Batgirl has a youthful sensibility that Fletcher borrows from heavily here. This should come as no surprise to readers as Fletcher helped to set up Black Canary’s new status quo in Batgirl some months back. This new series now gets to focus on Canary’s new life, and much of the style used to reintroduce Batgirl is being used here.
