This comic storyline highlights the hero life is not always black and white. These heroes experience trauma and have to deal with the aftermath of those they could not save.

Awful book. Very bad. Do not purchase this garbage unless you’re looking for a laugh. VERY poor storytelling. The character assassination of Barbara Gordon is absolutely terrible. The author uses her as a conduit for her own political opinions and it is VERY heavy handed. There is practically no character development and the stories don’t have any real tension or drama. Stay away from this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Strong Batgirl Collection With Nightwing Included
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2018
Summer of Lies reprints Issues 12-17 of Batgirl.

Issue 12 is a one-shot that finds Batgirl investigating the alleged presence of ghosts at the local Y. This is a fun short mystery that gives Batgirl a chance to show her intelligence and detective skills.

Issue 13 is another one-shot. "The Truth About Bats and Dogs." Batgirl helps a little girl whose looking for a famous missing dog and ends up teaming up with Batgirl whose looking for her missing cat. There's some light banter and the storey has some and cute moments.

Issues 14-17 is, "Summer of Lies" and it takes us back to the beginning of Batgirl's presence in Gotham and when she first met Dick Grayson. It's also about a friend and a mysterious tragedy coming back to haunt them. This is a fun story for adding in a layer of backstory and also forwarding the Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson relationship. It's a fun story.

Overall, I found this an enjoyable book and felt Batgirl was better-handled than in previous volumes. Overall, a delightful read.

4.0 out of 5 stars "I Was Trying to Do the Right Thing..."
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019
The third volume of Hope Larson's Batgirl run actually includes three separate stories, though the last is the longest and definitely the best. They're a nice mix of Barbara Gordon tackling old school villainy and more contemporary issues,

In "Troubled Waters" Barbara is investigating a haunted public swimming pool, in which several swimmers have seen a strange purple energy. Along with the over-enthusiastic host of a ghost hunting reality show. It's a short but fun tale that is totally lifted from Fred's backstory on season three of "Angel", but also showcases Barbara's intelligence and mystery-solving skills.

"The Truth About Bats and Dogs" has Batgirl team up with a little girl called Esme (not as bad as it sounds) and Catwoman to investigate the disappearance of several cats and dogs in the neighbourhood. This is probably the weakest story of the three, with a silly villain that has equally silly motivation, and not enough exploration of the Batgirl/Catwoman dynamic.

Finally, "Summer of Lies" involves Batgirl and Nightwing looking into a series of bizarre drug-related occurances after they're each lured to a rooftop to watch two young women take their own lives. Realizing that they bore a strange resemblance to a woman called "Ainsley", the two begin to investigate.

A nice sense of mystery is build up around this, with Barbara saying "I never told anyone else about that summer," and flashbacks filling us in on what exactly happened back when they were still teenagers. It's a great look at the relationship between Barbara and Dick, their ongoing flirtation, friendship and ability to work as a team, and ends on a surprisingly poignant note.

There's a strong sense of community throughout these issues, with Barbara not only calling on the assistance of other vigilantes, but people who contribute to society in other, equally important ways. It makes you feel as though Burnside is a place worth fighting for, despite all its flaws.

The artwork and colouring is also very good, finding the right combination of realism and splashy comic style. A nice touch was the difference in Batgirl's costume between the flashbacks and the present-day story: as a teenager she wore grey and yellow, as an adult she wears purple.

Another fun read - not particularly deep, but diverting and enjoyable.
