Batman: War Games<\/strong> quartet of novels, this volume sees Batgirl relocated to the notorious Gotham City suburb of Bl\u00c3\u00bcdhaven, for a measure of autonomy but still the same old high-octane crime-busting. Also new in town is arch Bat-foe the Penguin, who is seeking to carve himself a new criminal empire free of the depredations of the Dark Knight.<\/p>\nThat’s pretty much all the scene setting you need for these eminently readable action romps, collected from issues #60-64 of Batgirl’s own monthly magazine. In short order she establishes her own sanctum, resources and snitches as she strives to clean up those wicked streets.<\/p>\n
En route she tackles assorted thugs, learns a few lessons from Batman’s sometime assistant Onyx, battles the bizarre criminal band known as the Brotherhood of Evil and narrowly survives an encounter with the super-assassin Deathstroke the Terminator,\u00c2\u00a0who\u00c2\u00a0has\u00c2\u00a0his deranged daughter, the Ravager, in tow.<\/p>\n
Light on plot but wonderfully packed with martial arts mayhem and snappy dialogue, this just book buzzes with simple heroic exuberance. This is a light snack to offset some of the more ponderous and pompous super-hero fare.<\/p>\n
