As the 2 sides put together for all-out battle, Supergirl breaks by means of human resistance and approaches Batgirl, who watches the approaching battle unfold. Kara reminds Barbara of their shared previous, the place mutual respect introduced them collectively, and appeals to that historical past in hopes of avoiding battle. Nevertheless, as Kara presents her case, Batgirl interrupts her with a chilly remark: “This isn't the humiliation I anticipated.” Her phrases make it painfully clear that she isn't concerned about peace, however solely listened in hopes of seeing Supergirl beg.
Batgirl's vanity immediately will increase the stress, making Kara reply with metal in her voice: “Would you like me to crawl? So you actually forgot who I'm.” In a show of energy, Kara unleashes her warmth imaginative and prescient, carving a fiery line into the snow and issuing a stern warning: if Batgirl or her forces cross her, they may "you'll pay."

After Supergirl's fiery declaration of promised revenge the long-awaited Supergirl vs. Batgirl takes an sudden flip, shortly shifting to Supergirl vs. Whereas not fully shocking, this transfer immediately made me boo Batgirl for taking the cowardly route - sticking considered one of her "canines" at Kara as an alternative of going through her immediately. Say what you'll concerning the legendary clashes between Batman and Superman, however one factor has at all times remained true: the Darkish Knight faces the Man of Metal head-on, by no means hiding behind another person to do his soiled work.
I wasn't already an enormous fan of Vampire Queen Barbara Gordon, however her determination to right away ship Surprise Girl into battle on her behalf utterly dried up any respect I nonetheless had for her. Admittedly, it was a tactically good transfer – Surprise Girl is undoubtedly one of many few beings able to matching Supergirl's energy – however nonetheless, I would have liked to see Barbara channel her inside Bat and take an lively position within the battle in opposition to Karaparticularly given her new energy as a bodily enhanced vampire. That being mentioned, I can't deny that watching Supergirl and Surprise Girl face off in a combat to the loss of life will likely be epic.
Okay, I'll admit it: Surprise Girl vs. Supergirl is past epic (and I'm dying to know who wins)

Evidently, I'm on the sting of my seat, counting down the times till challenge #7 releases in March to lastly reply the burning query of who would win in a battle to the loss of life between Surprise Girl and Supergirl. Underneath regular circumstances, I'd wager on Surprise Girl, however I believe her vampire vanity and basic villain mentality might be her downfall, giving Kara the benefit to return out on prime. And actually, I'm rooting for it - there's one thing undeniably poetic about it Supergirlthe personification of hope and daylight, defeating a sun-phobic vampire Surprise Girl.
