It's better than the Murphy suit and the Burnside suit at least. Her New 52 "armor" was my favorite.

I have to say, I really liked the Murphy suit. I like dominos, and I love the grey and yellow color scheme. I don't hate the Burnside suit, but the new suit feels like "the same but different in ways that are irrelevant and don't make it better". The n52 armor annoyed me because it felt like they stole the ribbed sides element from Steph's costume.

I liked the Murphy suit but hated the domino mask, if that suit had a cowl I would have liked it much more.
The Burnside suit was ok, not a huge fan especially when Babs was drawn like a little kid and acted all immature. When artists drew her like an adult it improved the suit.
Her new suit is cool, I love the cowl, the white eyes and the beautiful long Cape.
But overall the new 52 armoured suit was perfect and is definitely my most favourite. I am still so upset they got rid of it.
I just really don't like how she's wearing pants and a jacket again. Especially when the younger girls are wearing legit costumes.
(Also not sure how I feel about the white eyes).

I don't really understand the complaints that Barbara's mask in Murphy suit doesn't hide Barbara's identity. I mean, we accept that Robin and Nightwing could hide their identities with a domino mask.
Also, previous Bat cowls of Barbara (where you can see her eyes) don't really hide her identity so much either.
So, is there any chance that blade barfer could return as a recurring villain for Batgirls?
That's a good point! She has a great gimmick, though no real personality in this appearance.

Honestly she's just the weirdo kind of villain that would be perfect to return and fight the Batgirls. The gimmick could lend itself to some interesting situations, unique fights and funny banter. Not to mention she's got such a cool name.
I had to look it up.
So for the official record in this thread, let's add that her full name, which is a cool name, is:
The Baroness of Blades: Lulu Laroux, Sword Swallower Extraordinaire!
(This thing she does is a real act, and it's quite dangerous (as well as obviously gross). Don't try it at home.)

The Batgirls get help from none other than Gotham Academy’s very own Maps Mizoguchi and her brother Kyle to help decipher a clue they found that could help reveal who the killer behind all the Hill murders is, which leads them straight into…the city zoo…
Sounds pretty cool! Love that cover with Maps and Kyle! I wonder who that guy is. Firefly or Killer Moth?
