"...in 'Summer of Lies' part three, 'Batgirl' and 'Nightwing' thought 'Mad Hatter' was the worst of their problems, but when the true identity of the mysterious villain hunting them is revealed, they realize the trap set for them was years in the making...



"...and it may be inescapable..."



"...we are doing 'Batgirl' with Joss Whedon, and it's going to be super exciting," said DC 's Geoff Johns about the new "Batgirl" feature.
