Courtesy of Bleeding Cool DC has given us a look at Batgirl #1 that will hit stores on September 7. Jim Lee stated that they are going to keep the history of the character Barbra Gordon from when she was shot and paralyzed by The Joker in Alan Moore's The Killing Joke. Said Lee, "We thought when you see her recovering from that, it would continue to add nuance and depth to the character." In the preview the comic even shows a flash back from the Moore comic of the point when Joker shoots Barbra.
