Anyone who shares the Gordon gene pool is automatically halfway toward being A-okay in our eyes, and it just so happens daughter Barbara took his close relationship with Batman and kicked up a couple dozen notches.

Barbara Gordon gets extra badass points for the fact that her 1967 debut as Batgirl came in the comics but was primarily intended as a new character for the Caped Crusader’s original TV series.

Not enough for you. Well how about the fact her character was retconned in the eighties to become the paraplegic eye-in-the-sky, Oracle, proving Gordon to be a major aide to the Bat Family on two legs or two wheels.
