Matt Fraction's Batman series has been busy establishing a new status quo for the Dark Knight and his city, and we've already seen some massive changes (including a radical reinvention of the Batman/Joker dynamic). But issue #9 is easily the most important chapter yet. This story completely changes Batgirl's place in the DC Universe and drops another huge bombshell of a twist. Read on to find out what happens in this issue, but beware of spoilers for Batman #9 ahead!
