Cameron Stewart, Brenden Fletcher and Babs Tarr — the dynamic team behind DC Comics’ critically acclaimed “Batgirl of Burnside” relaunch  — have returned with a brand new, creator-owned series: “Motor Crush.” Starring motorcycle racer Domino Swift, their collaborative work spins a story of fame and fortune unlike anything you’ve ever seen before in independent comics. Worldwide motorcycle racing leagues are the way you make a name for yourself in the world of “Motor Crush,” and — when you’re the daughter of a famous racer — it’s almost like you don’t have a choice in the matter. Domino Swift spends her days at her father’s mechanic shop, avoiding requests for interviews as she gears up for a big race.

It’s a hot commodity in the racing world and a dangerous addiction for a bike to have. This adrenaline-filled life catches up to Dom quick

Tynion also caps off the issue with a surprise that continues to demonstrate his skills on this title, as well as allowing him to play a larger creative role in the events of “Rebirth.” Given that “A Lonely Place of Dying” — the 1989 arc that introduced Tim Drake into the Bat-mythos — was first told nearly 30 years ago, the historical recap is welcomed. The examination of Tim
