When Barbara Wilson arrived in Gotham City to visit her uncle Alfred, the last thing she expected was to don a costume and mask and call herself Batgirl. With the threat of Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane behind them, Barbara is now having second thoughts about her new life as the third wheel of the Batman and Robin crimefighting team. Although she can easily hold her own in battle, Barbara is starting to the feeling that her partners do not agree and could easily do without her.
Picking up where the movie leaves off, this all-new, original, action packed novel brings Barbra up against Black Mask and the False Face Society of Gotham - a ring of zombie-like villains wearing grotesque masks that threatens to take over the city. Now Barbara has to make a decision to either quit or prove herself as Batgirl. Can she go back to her regular life as a teenager in Gotham City? Or will she fly once more against the dark forces of corruption?
