The first volume had it's issues, but I generally enjoyed it. They took Batgirl in a very different direction. She basically has become the Legally Blonde of super heroes, but no lie, it was fun and entertaining.
This volume was a hot mess. It was a cluster of random, with no coherent narrative. If product placement can be other superheroes from other comics, this book was full of product placement. It did make me want to read the other comics, but it felt so shoehorned in.
Batgirl as a character was all over the map too. It was impossible to get to know her, because she was never the same person.
Don't get me started on the Instalove that happened with every male character in the story.
I wanted to like this because the side characters are so much fun, but I didn't.
