Synopsis

After a long night of crime-fighting, Stephanie Brown (aka Batgirl) receives a new mission from Batman, Incorporated.  In England, she is met by Beryl Hutchinson (aka Squire).  On the way to the hotel, Beryl shows Stephanie some of the sights of London.  When they hear sirens, the duo investigate as Batgirl and Squire. They interrupt the Orphan attempting to stop time in order to kill Knight.  Working together, they stop Orphan and save the day.  Later, Batman appears and demands to know why Stephanie is late [continued in Batman Incorporated #9].

Review by Binkley (e-mail)

Wow, is the schedule for Batman Incorporated messed up or what?  At the time this issue hit the stands, issue # 7 of Batman Incorporated had not yet hit the stands.  Will we have to wait 2 months to see what happens with Batgirl?  How does this affect the next issue of this book?

Anyway, this issue follows in the same tradition as the one-shots with Robin and Klarion that Miller had done before.  Like the others, this one features some nifty dialogue, great interactions between the two leads, and a decent one-in-done story for Batgirl and guest to foil by the end of 20 pages.  It was a very good, very enjoyable issue.
