The BATGIRL/RED ROBIN crossover kicks off

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

By Alex Segura

Writer Bryan Q. Miller and artist Talent Caldwell kick off a crossover with RED ROBIN, as Tim Drake returns to Gotham Cit. But who does he find in the Batcave? None other than Stephanie Brown, the new Batgirl. And when Ra’s al Ghul attacks one of Batman’s closest allies, Red Robin and Batgirl will have to put the past aside to save Leslie Thompkins’s life. Continued in Red Robin #10.

BATGIRL #8 hits 3/10.

    Mmmmmmmm…I love me some Redddddd Robin!

    Athough John Stanisci’s art isn’t bad, I’m SO spoilt on Marcus To. I’m glad it says: “Guest Artist”, and hopefully To will be back soon.

    I do like the Batgirl team-up; that’s always fun - even back in the day when it was Dick and Babs. And, he’s back in Gotham…thank God!

    :oops: this is the BATGIRL book, not RED ROBIN. Well he’s in it - so you know I’ll definitely be getting it this month. :razz:

    Normally I’d be annoyed by yet another unsolicited artist change, but I like this guy’s art. It almost looks like Sienkiewicz inked this.

  4. majesticfool says on :

    Red Robin’s one of my favorite books right now…. LOVE IT!
    And Batgirl’s a nice enought character, so you know I’ll be checking this out!!!

    I’m kinda annoyed that this intro doesn’t fit with what we saw in last months Red Robin. That being said I’m still going to pick it up.

  6. immaculatewang says on :

    Phil Noto keeps making Red Robin look like an old man. He did that on the World’s Finest cover, too.

  7. albatross says on :

    Since I miss the Robin/Spoiler days, I welcome this wholeheartedly! Gosh, it really looks like the Batman family might be growing up! …And we promise, DC, this is one change you don’t have to reverse right away..!

  8. capmarvelfan says on :

    I absolutely LOVE the line about Dr. Mid-Nite and Tim’s reaction to it. A nice tip of the hat to fan complaints about the costume.

    And speaking of costumes, the initial releases they did of the new Batgirl costume didn’t look as nice as that art. Guess it just goes to show that a good artist (and colorists!) can make any design look good.

  9. batmanners says on :

    meh, the art for this one looks a little messy, but other than that, I can’t contain myself for this.

  10. talentcaldwell says on :

    Yeah I agree the art is a bit me

  11. talentcaldwell says on :

    Damn iPhone, like I was trying to type, I agree, the art is messy but I draw like that on purpose. Also, I had to hurry thru the book because of the shorter than I’m used to deadline so I hope I can get a lil slack. If anything pick up the book for Miller’s writing which is both hilarious and smooth. The art, maybe not so much but I did the best I could on the time I had. :)

  12. legionoflinks says on :

    red robin has been a great read and batgirl hasnt been half bad itself so ill be enjoying this

  13. coopster says on :

    Am I the only one that thinks that Batgirl is awesome? My favorite Bat book right now. Looking forward to this issue because Red Robin is my second so , WIN! Should be some good stuff.

  14. coopster says on :

    Also, just thinking, Talent Caldwell is pulling some Howard Chaykin out of his little art box these days. Nice!

  15. slat88 says on :

    I’m not so much for picking up books I wouldn’t normally read, just because a book I do read is crossing over with it. (Amongst other things, I don’t really have the coin to spare.) Hopefully the story will still progress in a somewhat coherent manner just within the pages of Red Robin…

  16. The Batgirl/Red Robin Crossover Begins Here! - Comic Hero News says on :

    [...] thanks to DC Universe: The Source, you can check out a preview of the issue [...]

  17. matchezmalone says on :

    Bah!!! Another book with a late, unannounced art change. Hey DC this is lame! What’s the big deal about getting someone to draw an entire issue of something? Marvel does it just about all the time!

  18. DaVeO says on :

    Not to put down Talent because I’m sure he did his best on the art with the time given him, but what happened to Lee?

  19. albatross says on :

    Replacement artists happen all the time and are nothing new. Maybe I’m okay with it because I was raised on it, having the Morrisson(and Waid) and Porter(and a bunch of other talented dudes) JLA run being my first comic that i bought every month. There were always guest artists… it just happens! That having been said, I think Talent Caldwell’s super-talented and I didn’t realize the art was him! It’s really nice(and I agree a little Chaykin-esque)! Bravo on the quick turn-out and it’s ALWAYS nice to see a creator post on the blog!

  20. praetor says on :

    I trully miss Cassandra Cain (both as a character in itself as her role as Batgirl… I find Stephanie very uninteresting, to say the least). And the costume, too (I think it was way better than the current one).

    Has anything been said about Cassandra’s return?

  21. lakidash says on :

    Not to make it sound like a teenage soap opera or nothing…but Tim and Steph will get back together….right?

    …please?

    A few heroes I could name deserve some kind of stability, they certainly qualify.
