Welcome to the Batgirl Archives tumblr page, I have no official affiliation with DC or any of its off-shoots this is a fan-run blog attempting to put an archive to the character of Batgirl and media surrounding her.
Commissioner Gordon's daughter has been many things in her young life: a spunky teenager, a neophyte crime fighter, a wheelchair-bound hacker for the Super Hero community, and now, with the use of her legs restored, a caped crusader once more. Through it all, her commitment to justice has never wavered.
Shortly after ending her crimefighting days as Batgirl, Barbara Gordon (daughter of Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon) was shot and paralyzed by The Joker. Undeterred, Barbara used her computer expertise to become Oracle. Almost nothing is beyond the reach of her vast computer network, which anonymously provides information to law enforcement agencies and superheroes needing her help.

Back Reads as Follows:
BATGIRL (CASSANDRA CAIN)
The daughter of two killers, Batgirl knew how to kill, yet she chose not to kill, rejecting her parents' ways. Instead, she chose to become Batman's daughter and a crime fighter, wearing his bat symbol. Like the Dark Knight, she saved lives instead of taking them, including her enemies, like her own mother, Lady Shiva.

"The Birds of prey were missing a wild card. Batgirl, making a case for Harley Quinn, tried to recount her fight against Harley, but only nonsense came out: "Frying pa- fish?... Eagle Claw- No. Leopard Punch...How is she doing that?" Stories weren't her strength. But Batgirl had other strengths, like putting men in Comas and being very, very quiet."
*AN: This is NOT the First Appearance of Cassandra Cain, but is rather the first appearance of her in the Batgirl moniker, with her first appearance being in Batman #567 (1999).

Birds of Prey
Batgirl (Cassandra Cain)
Birds of Prey #1 (Nov. 2023)
"After an impromptu team-up, Batgirl was asked by Black Canary to join the new Birds of Prey and help her find her missing sister. The mission would be dangerous, but Batgirl didn't even hesitate, asking Dinah, "What's more important than a Sister?"
In the universe of DC Bombshells Barbara is a French Pilot named Barbara Gourdon born to a small-town policeman and a farmer, she demonstrated a gifted intelligence at a young age that quickly lead to her learning how to fly small planes. During 1916 she would enlist in the French Air Force and earn the title of 'The Batgirl' for her natural gift for flying. She would fall in love with a German Pilot named Luc Fuchs (This universe's analogue to Luke Fox) whom would go MIA and eventually would be presumed dead.
This event would lead her into searching for a way to bring him back, landing her in a bog in Louisiana. Upon reaching the bog she would be turned into a vampire, causing her to go into hiding, believing herself to be a monster and isolating herself in an abandoned manor named "Belle Reve Manor House" somewhere during this she would meet Junie Moone (Enchantress), Rose Wilson (Ravager) and Waylon Jones (Killer Croc) who would join her self-isolation in Belle Reve Manor.
We first meet her in DC Bombshells Annual #1 in her vampiric form, wherein we also get to learn her backstory. This issue takes place in 1941 wherein Amanda Waller enlists a soldier named Francine Charles to retrieve her. Francine heads to the bog and shows her evidence that Luc is alive, causing her to agree to help Amanda Waller and later becomes a member of the 'Suicide Squad'
CASSANDRA CAIN
Unfortunately we don't see much of Cassandra in this universe but we do see her as the Black bat in a small cameo appearance before she later falls in with Katana and helps her protect those affected by Lex Luthor's extraterrestrial attack.
STEPHANIE BROWN
If you thought we barely saw Cass, we see Steph in a single epilogue panel where she's seen becoming one of the Batgirls with the description of "And a girl, all in purple, has been seen spoiling best-laid plans of crooks and villains the whole city over."
UNIVERSE SPECIFIC BATGIRLS
From left to right we have Nell Little, Felicity Smoak, Alysia Yeoh, Tim Drake, Cullen Row, Harper Row, Kathy Duquesne and Bette Kane.
Inspired by the feats of Batwoman Harper, Kathy and Nell form the 'Batgirls' to fight crime, quickly adding members to their team, all of whom use bats to fight off crime. They come into their own as a unit when after the departure of Batwoman to join the 'Bombshells' they are tasked with keeping Gotham safe in her absence.
