DC Comics Cancels 'Batgirl' with Special Issue #50

DC Comics has announced that the current ‘Batgirl’ comic title will be coming to an end with special issue #50.

‘Batgirl’ writer Cecil Castellucci confirmed the news on her twitter, saying that the “end has been in the works for a long time.”

Hi! I notice it's been announced that 50 is the series finale of Batgirl. Wanted to say that end has been in the works for a long time! It was planned because there were other things upcoming that didn't happen. Fiercely proud of bringing Babs to here! Meanwhile 47 out next wk!
