Can
Cassandra Cain ever cast off her tainted past as a childhood
assassin and take the place of
former Batgirl Barbara Gordon? This new Batgirl continues
her training with Batman, but the young protégé
is starting to feel that she is on too short a leash. Dealing
with blackmail, bank robberies and burglary is one thing,
but for Batgirl to step into the major leagues a major menace
is required...
Death
Wish sees Batgirl struggling with the events of her dark
past. Can she control her assassin calling? And more importantly
is she prepared to pay the price for her teachings - a fight
to the death with the deadly Lady Shiva?
There
is also, interestingly, an introduction to the main characters
(including Oracle, Lady Shiva, Cassandra and her father) should
you not be overly familiar with the events that have gone
before. Batman
and Robin also make brief appearances, which helps to tie
Batgirl's universe into an established DC setting.
The
ending to this collection will leave you wanting more. A well
written, well illustrated (although a few panels make events
a little hard to follow) collection that Bat-freaks should
enjoy.
