His covers are always gorgeous but Babs looks absolutely stunning.

Does he do interior art work any more? It would be quite lovely/amazing/wonderful/spectacular/superb if DC could sign him for Batgirl...but I haven't seen him do interior work in ages.

I especially love how he depicts her hair .

He's never done much interior work. Just the occasional one-shot or mini series. I believe his personal record is a run of six issues of Meridian (Crossgen) at the very start of his career.

The latest Super Hero Girls shows Babs being really irritated with inappropriate selfie time.

I don't even care about the Burnside influences because this is so beautiful .

I keep saying that it really depends on the artist.

Batgirl #23 preview. It's Larson's last issue before Babs starts to get a revolving of creative teams I predict.

I'm interested to see what Scott's run is like since it seems to be going back to more serious stakes and stories compared to the previous Burnside tone of the book.

Which also makes the current costume seem even more out-of-place .

Theoretically, Larson's run was supposed to be more mature than Burnside. And if you look at the first arc, I think there were elements of that. But it quickly devolved into the cutesy, no-stakes silliness again. I really think shifting Babs to Burnside is the real problem. (Not the costume. I know I keep saying this, but I think you just need to find the right artist, and it looks fine. Like Alvaro Martinez. ).

Silly stories that reeked of bad ideas were why Batgirl was getting horrible anyway but why do you think shifting Barbara to Burnside was the bad idea?

It's a neighborhood that's too safe. None of the stories that have been told there have given it a sense of menace like Gotham, Bludhaven, or Marvel's NYC has. If there's no danger, then Batgirl's going to seem unnecessary and frivolous. (Also, to be fair, "dark" stories can be silly, too, like a lot of Simone's stuff in the first half of the n52). And a "light" story can be serious, like Batgirl Year One.
