Commissioner Barbara Gail Gordon[6] is the former vigilante known as Batgirl and the commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department.
Biography[edit source]
Relationship with Dick Grayson[edit source]
In 2015, Barbara Gordon orchestrated multiple burglaries and was confronted by Robin in an art museum. She then revealed her identity to Grayson and convinced him to work together in order to remind her father about the failing security in Gotham. The duo then infiltrated another gallery, only to find themselves in front of a pair of criminals. When the female thief threw a projectile at Dick, Barbara tackled her and the weapon killed the criminal's partner, allowing Barbara and Dick to escape.[4]
Batgirl[edit source]
At some point after 2015, Gordon became the vigilante Batgirl and worked alongside Batman and Robin. She was then paralyzed when Joker shot her, causing her to lose a leg and permanently requiring a wheelchair.[1]
Later, Gordon met Jason Todd, the new recruit for Robin after Grayson's leave to be more independent.[1]
Death in the Family[edit source]
In 2021, Gordon met Grayson once again after Jason Todd's death. They then visited Bruce Wayne, discussed their past as vigilantes and demanded Wayne not to recruit a new kid as Robin. As the conversation grew tense, Gordon left and told Grayson to prevent another Robin from happening.[1]
