Face It, Batgirl Deserves Better Than What DC Keeps Giving Her
Barbara Gordon, who has carved her own path to heroism, is brimming with untapped possibilities. Her life has been influenced significantly by figures like her father, Commissioner James Gordon, instilling in her a robust understanding of right and wrong from an early age. While it may seem logical for her to follow in her dad’s footsteps, Barbara took a unique twist in the “Batman Beyond” timeline, assuming the role of Commissioner Gordon herself. In another aspect of her heroic journey, Barbara was the original Batgirl, paving the way for Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown to take up the mantle later on. Moreover, Barbara’s tenure as Oracle opened numerous opportunities for the heroine, defying efforts to confine her and carving out a lasting impact in the world.
