Rebirth

Gotham Girl is introduced at the very start of the Rebirth era and has no appearances prior to this.

Gotham Girl is introduced through a quick cameo in the DC Universe: Rebirth one-shot which leads to a starring role in the first arc of the Rebirth Batman series. After this opening arc, her story continues to play out through various issues of the Batman series. Her appearances across this title directly set up her primary role in the next era.

  1. Gotham Girl's appearance here is extremely small and is little more than a cameo. However, it helps prelude her first major role in this era of the Batman (Reading Order) series.
  2. Gotham Girl's role in this issue is relatively small. It simply helps explain more about her condition at this point in time.
  3. These issues are mostly about the main members of the Birds of Prey (Reading Order). Gotham Girl is one of many supporting characters in a massive team-up of DC's female heroes.

Universe

The transition from the Rebirth to the Universe era includes little to no continuity changes for Gotham Girl. Her story picks up immediately where it left off after her cameo in the Batman: The Wedding (Reading Order) event.

In this era, Gotham Girl's story, once again, plays out through the Batman series. This starts out in a crossover between Batman and The Flash and comes to a head with the "City of Bane" story arc.
