Batgirlwriter Cecil Castellucci revealed in aninterview with Newsaramathat Castellucci did not talk to the other writer involved in Joker War , but her editor program , who also editsNightwingand artist Robbi Rodriguez . Castellucci says in theNewsarama interview ,

So I never spill the beans to any of the other writer . I talked with my editor Jessica Chen ( who also edits Nightwing ) and with artist Robbi Rodriguez . I hump that the Joker was going to come over and strike hard on her door looking for something . And I thought that was a real opportunity to speak Batgirl and Joker ’s history . So for me , it was more important to keep it insular and really make certain that the Batgirl team was directly referencing Batman : The Killing Joke , but from an sceptred breaker point of sight .

Batgirl # 47takes place before the case ofBatman # 95according toBatman writer James Tynion in a tweet . Batgirl # 47can be image as a predecessor to the main Joker War event . Batgirl # 50,which will be the serial publication conclusion ofBatgirl , will focus on the aftermath of the Joker War . This go forth the event ofNightwing # 71and#72and the rest of Joker War somewhere between the story happening inBatgirl # 47andBatgirl # 50 . Tynion IV has said that the additive social club of the comedian do not hold at this point of Joker War , but will be authoritative in succeeding issues . Hypothetically , this leads the story inBatgirl # 47andBatgirl # 49to happen beforeBatman   # 95andNightwing .

While this chronology is throw at first , the excited highlight of the recentBatgirlstory , specificallyBatgirl # 47 , have been on equality with the intensity of Joker War . ThisBatgirlstory will tie together the loose end of the serial publication , such asthe family conflict of the Gordonsand beloved - sake Jason Bard . The events ofThe Killing Jokehave been touch upon in recent long time , but not to the storey shown inBatgirl # 47 . Barbara Gordon has a dissimilar relationship with the Joker , andthis story is also well - timedwith the hyped - upThree Jokers . Barbara Gordon deserves a substantial ending to a series that has hit its stride . Batgirl#49will be expel on Septemeber 22nd .
