- Sheesh. You'd think I'd never gone up against a psychotic hostage-holding martial arts master who wants to kill Batgirl before.

Batgirl #26 is an issue of the series Batgirl (Volume 1) with a cover date of May, 2002. It was published on March 6, 2002.
Synopsis for "Batgirl"
It has been four days since Batgirl fought Lady Shiva, and she is still sleeping off her injuries. A member of the cult dedicated to Shiva takes a hostage and calls out Batgirl, so Spoiler decides to confront him, hoping he will mistake her for Batgirl, rather than risk angering him by sending Nightwing or Robin. Reluctantly, Oracle agrees.
Spoiler imagines Batgirl giving her a pep talk. She lures the cultist away away from Gazette Square and his hostage; however, she accidentally falls into the temple where Batgirl defeated Shiva. The cultist says this is the perfect place to regain his lost honor because he fled rather than accept death at Shiva's hands like his master did.
Spoiler refuses to kill him, so he believes she wants to fight him to the death. The man quickly gains the upper hand and realizes she is an imposter, but after another lecture by the imaginary Batgirl, Spoiler knocks him out and returns to the Clock Tower where Batgirl is still asleep.
