Recognizing she could no longer be the kind of superhero she had been, Barbara instead devoted all her time to developing one of the world's most complex and powerful computer systems and set to work accumulating information, renaming herself "Oracle."
Barbara lost mobility in her legs, confining her to a wheelchair. She adopted the codename "Oracle" and continued aiding Batman and the Team. She became good friends with the girl, who joined Batman's cause under the name Orphan. Barbara considered Orphan to be like a sister to her.
One night, she has a dream in which an all-knowing woman (similar to the Oracle at Delphi of Greek mythology) has her face; it is then that she adopts "Oracle" as her codename.
Later, her father was ultimately killed in the line of duty. His death inspired Barbara to undergo a great deal of physical therapy and healing, which ultimately allowed her to resume the use of her legs and become Batgirl once again.
After losing the use of her legs, and being unable to be Batgirl anymore, she continues to assist Batman by acting as his information relayer and hacker, now going by the codename Oracle.
But her father's death spurred her to train and recover from her wounds so that she could return to active duty as Batgirl." In the comics and Warner Bros' 2015 release Batman: Arkham Knight, Barbara Gordon becomes Oracle after the Joker shoots her through the spine, paralysing her from the waist down.
According to a statement on her website, Craig died from complications from breast cancer that had metastasized to her liver. She had undergone chemotherapy treatment for two years. Craig joined Batman in 1967 for the third and final season of the popular TV show. She played librarian-turned-Batgirl Barbara Gordon.
In this issue, Barbara revealed her identity as both Oracle and Batgirl to her father. While he seemed genuinely surprised about her Oracle operations, he told her that he knew that she was Batgirl all along.
From 1989 to 2011, Barbara operated as the data broker Oracle, using her skills in Information Technology to help both the Batman Family and other superheroes. Under the identity, she was a member and leader of the superhero team Birds of Prey.
Batgirl's father is James Gordon, the police commissioner of Gotham City. She is also related to Robin, as he is her partner in the series, and the two are frequently referred to as the "Dynamite Duo: Batgirl & Robin."
Many fans consider Barbara Gordon/Batgirl to be Nightwing's greatest love. The two have been through a number of trials but have consistently emerged as a fan favorite couple. Fans also cherish the great love between Starfire and Dick Grayson, but he's enjoyed a few other high-profile romances as well.
After working as Oracle for a time, Barbara was able to undergo a form of physical therapy which eventually allowed her to walk once again with the help of a technological implant. The justification for her return to crimefighting in terms of storytelling was simple: she was the most famous iteration of Batgirl.
She's been able to walk since the start of the New 52. Joker still shot her, but the canon timeline, she only stayed crippled for 3 years. Then some sort of experimental surgery done to her in South Africa, restored her ability to walk. Since regaining the use of her legs, she returned to being Batgirl in Gotham City.
After having a one night stand with Jim, Barbara became pregnant with his child and attempted to get into his good graces until the return of Lee Thompkins. She then discovered that Penguin and Ed found a way out of Gotham and formed a distant alliance with them, for the sake of her unborn child.
However, Barbara and Jim did have a son named James Gordon, Jr., and fans have pointed out that he shares some similarities with Gotham's villainous portrayal of Barbara Kean.
Barbara Lee Gordon is a minor character in the fifth and final season of Gotham. She is the daughter of Jim Gordon and Barbara Kean, and a younger version of Batgirl from the comics. Her middle name is taken after Jim's wife Lee Thompkins.
After filming was almost completed, Batgirl was abruptly pulled from Warner Brothers' release schedule, supposedly as the result of a cost-cutting strategy that allowed the studio to cite the unreleased $90 million-film as a tax write-off. There are no plans for the movie to be released.
Ruby Rose revealed on social media that toxic working conditions made her quit "Batwoman." Rose left after its first season, originally stating she left because of an injury. She named named an ex Warner Bros chairman and the "Batwoman" showrunner as the cause.
“The decision to not release Batgirl reflects our leadership's strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max,” a Warner Bros. spokesperson told The Wrap in a statement. “Leslie Grace is an incredibly talented actor and this decision is not a reflection of her performance.
In the 1988 comic story The Killing Joke, Barbara is famously shot through the spine by the Joker, paralyzing and confining her to a wheelchair for many years in which she lent tech and information support to Batman as Oracle.
One of the central themes of the 'Bat-Man of Gotham' has been Batman having to rely on his older methods of crime fighting whilst he is unable to use his hi-tech gadgets. This means it is heavily insinuated that The Dark Knight's white eyes were adopted to disturb and frighten the criminals he came across.
Now that we know Batman actually knows the Joker's real name, the real purpose of this sequence is finally revealed: Batman wasn't seeking an answer he didn't have, he was simply testing the Chair, to make sure its answers were correct.
