Can Batgirl, Cassandra Cain, a seventeen year old trained from childhood to be a lethal assassin, ever cast off her tainted past and take the place of former Batgirl, Barbara Gordon? Batgirl continues her training with Batman, but his young protege is starting to feel that she's on a very short leash indeed. Dealing with blackmail, bank robberies and burglary is one thing, but for Batgirl to step into the major leagues...a major menace is required! Guest-starring Robin and Batman, Batgirl: Death Wish continues the evolution of Gotham's newest, most offbeat defender.
