Nick Gage

A Gotham City figure who stepped onto the scene in 2010's Batgirl #10, Nick Gage is a Modern Age DC creation brought to life by the talented team of Bryan Q. Miller, Lee Garbett, and Pere Pérez. His world is populated by some seriously compelling company — Stephanie Brown, Barbara Gordon, Oracle, and Wendy Harris all share his pages — placing him squarely in one of the more warmly regarded corners of the Batman universe from that era. With seven catalog appearances concentrated in the Batgirl series, he's a supporting player whose presence helped texture the rich, character-driven storytelling that made this short-lived run a fan favorite worth revisiting.
