Batgirl (also unofficially known as Batgirl Rebirth) is a 2016 monthly comic book published by DC Comics as a part of their DC Rebirth rebranding initiative, written by Hope Larson with art by Rafael Albuquerque.The series is a direct sequel to Batgirl (2011), which ended with Barbara Gordon (the second Batgirl) heading off to Japan to undergo more combat training, as her skills and motivation had begun to wane during the last few issues of that title.The first arc follows Babs on this journey of self-improvement as she hops around Asia, facing various talented fighters in pursuit of the mysterious Teacher. She is joined on her travels by an old friend she happens to meet in Japan, who may not be what he seems. This first arc takes place prior to the beginning of Batgirl & the Birds of Prey, another Rebirth title.Barbara returns to Burnside after her trip to find new tech startup companies springing up everywhere, leaving the neighborhood even trendier than before. As Barbara readjusts to life back home, she meets a new potential love interest: a smart, handsome tech wizard named Ethan... Ethan Cobblepot.The series began on July 27, 2016 and ended in October 2020 after 50 issues, at the end of the Joker War event.

My Parents Are Dead: In a flashback issue, Batgirl gets all steamed up about her father and Robin implies he doesn't know what having a parent-son argument is like. Barbara asks if his parents aren't around, and Dick answers he's orphaned.

Mythology Gag: During her MMA training, Babs uses the name "Amy Beddoes". This is the exact same alias she used in earlier continuity when she worked with the Suicide Squad.

Remember the New Guy?: Kai, a new character introduced in the first issue, is a childhood friend of Barbara's despite the fact he's never been seen or mentioned before. This is somewhat of a Running Gag with Babs at this point.

comment
Retool: Issue 25 starts an arc in which the chip that allows her to walk is damaged by a villain, causing Barbara to have epileptic style fits and memory lapses. Babs ends up leaving Burnside and moving back to Gotham, where she adopts a different costume - the prototype she started her superhero career in. The chip soon gets replaced, causing a one month timeskip while she recovers from the operation - during which Dick Grayson is removed from the picture (he got shot in an issue of Batman and ended up amnesiac). Also, by this point the Rebirth branding had been dropped.

When explaining why he would even have a tech launch, she notes that "''Some'' people ''do'' read ''Menagerie'' for the articles".
