Batgirls #2 is an issue of the series Batgirls (Volume 1) with a cover date of March, 2022. It was published on January 11, 2022.
Synopsis for "One Way or Another, Part 2 of 6"
The Batgirls attempt to fight the Saints, but they are outnumbered and outclassed, only narrowly escaping. The Saints believe they are taking their orders from Simon Saint, alive and in hiding, but in fact they are being controlled by Seer. The next night, the Batgirls patrol the neighborhood looking for the "Hill Ripper", and notice the Hill's Angels and GCPD officers building some kind of monument from a pile of stolen goods. When they get home, Stephanie secretly applies to be a model for a local art gallery.
Stephanie is convinced that one of their neighbors, Mr Greene, is the Ripper and spies on him while they are out rebuilding the Oracle network. They hear another neighbor, Mr Dhaliwal, call for help as he is robbed by the hypnotised road workers from before. The Batgirls foil the robbery but Mr Dhaliwal asks them to let the men go, only asking that they try to recover a pot one of them stole which belonged to his late wife. The Batgirls follow the fleeing men to a courtyard, where Tutor is livestreaming as he paints his latest mural. A mind controlled crowd has gathered around him. Cassandra says they need to stop him, but Stephanie is also hypnotised by Tutor.
