10 Things Everyone Forgets About Batgirl

10. The Batgirls Of Gotham City

Sometime after the Joker War, Oracle’s Clock Tower and her computer network were destroyed in the Bat Family’s ongoing battles with the Magistrate and a fake Oracle that was confusing the team with misinformation.

Barbara and Nightwing made it to “Oracle 2”, a secondary network that she had set up. When they arrived, they found themselves doused with the Scarecrow’s fear toxin. Red Robin saved them and Oracle was able to thwart Simon Saint’s plans to crash Skybase-01 into Gotham.

Barbara, Cassie, and Stephanie moved to a large warehouse space in the Hill neighborhood of Gotham where they all began to operate as Batgirl, with Babs taking on a more mentoring role as her implant caused her mobility to fluctuate from day to day. She also had to rebuild her network from scratch and find a way to keep their new nemesis Seer from infiltrating their network again. Elsewhere, Barbara was spending part of her time in Bludhaven with Dick Grayson and their puppy, Haley.

During their first few weeks in their new neighborhood, the Batgirls rescued influential report and podcaster Grace O’Halloran from Spellbinder, and apprehended a serial killer named “The Hill Ripper” with the help of Officer Brooks of the Gotham PD. Despite having been the vigilante the Question, new Commissioner Renee Montoya is dubious about the Batgirls’ assistance but the community loves them, in large part to Grace’s positive reporting.
