Well, you'll have to wait until 8/19 for more clues. But, we do have a first look at interiors from the first issue, by writer Bryan Q. Miller and artist Lee Garbett, plus a variant cover by Cully Hamner. Nice way to start the week, huh?
Start your guessing!

Writer Bryan Q. Miller (Smallville), who’ll be kicking off the new BATGIRL series in no time, continues his jaunt through the Teen Titans world, as the team tries to rescue Wonder Girl from the new Fearsome Five, as the Calculator enacts his revenge on the team for not protecting his daughter. Plus, writer Sean McKeever and artist Yildiray Cinar continue to chronicle the solo adventures of everyone’s favorite one-eyed teen, Ravager, in the issue’s second feature. What more do you need?

Why not keep a good thing going? The first two teases we gave you in relation to the new BATGIRL series garnered a huge response. Was it Barbara Gordon? Cassandra Cain? A new Batgirl? We're not telling. Yet. But we will unveil another lovely Phil Noto cover, though.
BATGIRL #1, written by Bryan Q. Miller with art from Lee Garbett, hits 8/19.
Just what happens after "Deathtrap"? Well, lots. In #72 alone, Wonder Girl finds her leadership challenged, the team faces the Fearsome Five and well, you get this as a first page:
Hm. Ominous. Let's check in with TEEN TITANS editor Brian Cunningham for some more details. Take it away, Brian:
"Which fallen Teen Titan lies in that coffin?
You’ll get your first glimpse come June 17, when Teen Titans #72 hits stores. It’s part one of a three-part opus that will literally shatter this group in ways you won’t expect. I know that statement can tend to come off as overblown hype, but believe you me, it’s gut-check time for this bunch.
I’m willing to bet my prize 1976 DC calendar that Titans fans will be pretty stoked when they read Bryan Q. Miller and Joe Bennett’s brutal three-issue story for our teen heroes. It’s relentless in how much punishment is dished out. And I’m talking punishment on so many levels — between team members, between good guys and bad, and even between bad guys and bad.
Grueling choices must be made throughout, and all actions have dire consequences. Some, as you can plainly see, are much more horrible than others.
I mean, c’mon, I wouldn’t bet my ‘76 DC calendar on just anything!"
Well, a little more, at least. We're not going to spoil the party right away and tell you who's behind the mask. Heck, it might be someone you've never met before. Or it might not.
But, we can give you the lowdown on who the creators on this new ongoing will be. First up, the series will be written by Bryan Q. Miller, who is no stranger to superheroics, having done some writing for a little show called "Smallville." Miller will also be penning a three-issue arc of TEEN TITANS, starting in July.
On art, we have Lee Garbett, who's been doing a bang-up job as the regular artist on THE OUTSIDERS. Just wait until you see his interpretation of Batgirl -- definitely a post for another day. He'll be teaming with inker Trevor Scott.
And, for those of you kind folks chiming in on the comments, the cover artist is none other than Phil Noto, who did up the shiny piece of art you see above.
