The Gotham City doppelgänger of Supergirl is finally making a return and bringing a mystery with her. With all the powers of a Kryptonian and all the damage that comes from living in the Dark Knight’s city, Gotham Girl will be headlining a backup story in the pages of Detective Comics. However, her future in Gotham will depend on her being able to solve a murder case she finds herself a key player in.
Claire Clover, aka Gotham Girl, was created by Tom King and David Finch for their first arc in Batman Vol. 3.

Now she’s getting a chance to explore those feelings in a new story.
