Batgirl Annual #1

It’s the bat, the cat and the owl!  All sorts of trouble happens when Catwoman is hired to free a young woman who is a Talon for The Court Of The Owls.

She manages to do so just as Batgril shows up and other Talons of The Court Of the Owls.

A female Talon is being held in custody by the police.  Catwoman is hired to break her out.  She does so.

But, when Catwoman finds out that Talon’s benefactor wants her to join in killing citizens of Gotham in order to put the blame on Bruce Wayne, Catwoman refuses to help the benefactor.

He then sets Talon against her.  Batgirl arrives and a battle royal occurs between Talon and her companions.

Catwoman convinces Talon that her bloody trail of violence will not bring her parents back.  Vengeance never satisfies.

Talon relents and the tide turns.

This is a really good Catwoman/Batgirl/Talon tale.  Writer Gail Simone delves deeply into the personalities of each female character and fleshes them out.

The art on Batgirl Annual #1 by Admira Wijaya and Daniel Sampere is a real eye catcher.

It’s one of the best DC Comics New 52 Annuals produced.
