We had a chance to sit down with the wonderful Babs Tarr to talk all things Batgirl.

This interview contains spoilers forBatgirland other Bat-books.

Its always a pleasure to meet the people behind your favorite comic books.

Her latest issues of the book are exemplary of how fun comics can be.

I spoke to Babs last year, and our second conversation is even better.

Talking to her is like chatting with an old pal, one that offers you infinite happiness every month.

No matter how hard things are in the real world, theres so much Batgirl to enjoy.

Heres my chat with Babs:

Why are Luke Fox and Barbara Gordon perfect for each other?

More than anyone, he can understand what she goes through.

Having to fight crimes and do all that other stuff.

Plus hes really tech savvy toohe owns his own tech companyand so is Babs.

They have that in common, and plus they just look really good together.

I hope people dont hate us too bad for having them together.

But will we see a Batwing/Batgirl team-up at some point?

Its not there yet, but maybe?

Playing around [with Frankie] and the neural implant which is really cool.

Now she can control the bike.

Do you envision Frankie as the new oracle?

No, I had no idea.

I barely knew how the comics world worked, because I was so new to it.

This isnt your first book, is it?

Yeah, it is!

Do you wanna draw this book?

I just thought that when any change happened in the comic world everyone got mad.

Thats what I knew about the comic world.

But we changed the costume and everyone got happy.

We had this outpouring of love for it.

Its just so exciting.

Its just absurd and surreal.

I am very honored.

How much research goes into the weird science and tech of the book?

Since the return of the re-launch in June, you guys have mostly stuck to two-issue arcs.

Is that the directive since the re-launch?

Or are you guys thinking of doing longer arcs?

Its something we wanted to do since the beginning, but we wanted to pay homage to Gails run.

We felt we couldnt have just jumped into cute little two-issue episodes.

But there is going to be an overarching villain throughout the whole arc.

You guys did two issues with Barbara and Jim.

To reveal her secret to her dad.

Its a different dynamic between him telling her than Babs telling her dad.

Its in his DNA to protect her and want to shelter her.

I think its just a different dynamic, and I think its better that he doesnt know.

I think it would put him in an awkward situation at work.

Its a really selfless act of Babs not to put that on his shoulders.

Your drawing of Jim Gordon make him look younger in a way.

I really like it.

Yeah, you do turn him into a hot dad.

I really miss his mustache.

You bring out the burnside in Jim Gordon.

Are we going to see that confrontation in the book at some point?

So he does come.

But its at a very inopportune time.

I wonder what hes going to think about Babs and Luke Fox.

Its going to be fun.

This issue is my favorite one Ive ever drawn.

Its the best one Ive drawn.

The guys really wrote a lot of stuff that are to my strengths.

I got to draw Dick Grayson super dreamy, so it was really fun.

Will we see beautiful bearded Bruce at all?

We havent seen Barbara interact with him at all sinceEndgame.

I would love to draw a bearded Bruce.

You want to burnside him, too?

He is already kind of burnsided.

Hes wearing plaid and has a beard.

Were making that a term along with Batgirling.

Bruce would fit in perfect in Burnside right now if he just wanted to hang out.

I dont know if hell show up.

We dont even know who he is right now.

He has that amnesia right now.

I would love to draw Batman.

I noticed that Bengal did the art for the latest issue ofBatgirland he did the annual.

Are there plans for more collaboration?

I had done nine issues in a row and I needed a little break.

But I am back on at #45 and for the foreseeable future.

But I think if I need a break again ill probably use him one or two times.

Hes a great fill-in.

Like during Christmas if I just want to relax and not have to worry about pages this time.

Is there anything else you want to tease about the book?

You guys have to buy #45.

Theres a really cute wedding.

Some shit goes down.

You guys have to check it out.

Its gonna be a really good issue.

Babs Tarr, thank you so much!
