Gotham is tired of its monsters. But monsters don't disappear. After the war in Nanda Parbat, Barbara Gordon returns home believing she can start over. But Gotham remembers. And so do its nightmares. While Batman faces a rising wave of violence led by a laugh that should have died long ago, Barbara realizes she can't remain just a survivor. Not a victim. Not a side character. Not a shadow of someone else's legend. It's time to become Batgirl. A story about identity, grief, rebirth, and choosing who you are meant to be. Because in a city that destroys everything it touches... sometimes becoming a symbol is the only way to stay alive.
