What is Batgirls about?

Mentored by Oracle, the Batgirls move to the other side of town where Barbara Gordon can keep a better eye on them while the hacker Seer is still invading their lives. Steph may be too rash sometimes, and Cass doesn't speak much—but what they lack in similarities they make up for with their mutual respect and love for each other…and what makes them stronger together as Batgirls! 

"I love that they didn't get Bruce's permission to do any of this stuff," Cloonan explained to reporters prior to the series' debut. "They just kind of, they're like, 'Well, we're Batgirls.' Barbara's the same way, whereas I think a lot of the Robins were like 'You're being mentored by Batman himself.' These Batgirls just have the wherewithal to put on the suit, and do what they need to do. To me, that's really cool."

"Yeah, you get the sense that, if something terrible went on with Bruce — if Bruce went off the rails and became a bad guy — we might turn to the Batgirls," Conrad echoed. "We might. It's beyond standing in the shadow of the Dark Knight and it's become, 'Now we are fully realized characters.' And hopefully, with the series, we're going to continue to build that."
