"Batgirl is to be written by Ray Fawkes for two issues in March. The news follows confirmation of Gail Simone&amp;#039;s departure from the DC Comics title, which was announced over Twitter earlier this week.   Justice League Dark scribe Fawkes will act as a guest writer on issues #18 and #19 of the &amp;#039;New 52&amp;#039; title, DC&amp;#039;s solicitations have confirmed. Simone, who launched the comic in 2011 for the &amp;#039;New 52&amp;#039;, initially described her Batgirl exit as &amp;quot;baffling and sad&amp;quot;. She released a longer piece about her feelings regarding the departure on her Tumblr. No specific reason has yet been offered for her exit. Batgirl #18 is released on March 13.
