Looks like some of the New 52 Issue Twos are rolling out. Artist Adam Hughes tweeted:

First Look: Adam Hughes’ cover to BATGIRL #2

That is a very nice cover and while I’m not too happy about the great leap backwards it’s nice to see Batgirl’s costume stayed pretty clean and simple without dozens of excess lines all over it.
I like this cover, but Barbara looks a bit too young if everything in BoP and Killing Joke have happened.
Not a bad cover!
Is that “Ghost” in the background?… (Remember her?)
Looks great!
Barbara’s Batgirl costume has always been my favorite!
Although, Huntress’ from NML has a soft spot! ;)
Nice. So, DC is playing up the fact that Barbara had previously been a victim of horrible violence by featuring her once again in danger, in a prone position, for the cover of her new comic book. Keep plugging away, BG! Someday you, too, may end up dead in a refrigerator!
“Is that “Ghost” in the background?… (Remember her?)”
I was thinking the same thing! LOL
And IIRC Hughe’s worked on her solo comic for a bit when he was first starting out in the biz…
I thought the same thing Aaron and Snikt Snakt. Ghost was a great series and he designed the character’s look. At least he’s sticking with a classic. Ghost is still one of the coolest comic character designs, in my opinion. I miss those old Dark Horse superhero books, like X.
I can only hope the rebooted (don’t call it a reboot) Batgirl isn’t really that young. Maybe it;s a flashback scene on the cover?
