Wow.

Barbara Gordon always had a connection to crime fighting.

Her father was Gotham City's police commissioner, and she idolized the legendary superhero Batman.

So she whipped up her own bat costume to crash a police ball.

Yeah, she's a rebel, but not twist.

A criminal crested first, and she wound up saving the day.

This sparked a fire in Barbara Ah, fire for justice and a drive to confront crime on her own.

With this new mission came another goal to officially joined Batman and Robin as the next bad ass crime fighter.

Bet girl, you know, how come she's called Batgirl when Dick gets to be Robin?

Her identity and individuality shouldn't be anchored to the patriarchal idea that women are publicly defined by the men in their life.

Well said Boom, stick now.

Joining the Bat family wasn't easy.

The dynamic duo weren't exactly keen on adding a third wheel, but Matt Gal worked hard to prove herself, and she's not just a tough fighter.

She's super smart.

With a strong understanding of technology and computer hacking, Batgirl knew she could prove useful to a team that relies on tech like, you know, Batman and Robin How could the battle a bird say no?

And after settling into the bat cave, she honed her skills by training with the Batman himself, who's basically the world's greatest ninja times.

1000.

Not like she was some rookie.

Before that, though.

Her cop dad had her study a bunch of martial arts like judo and karate.

Of course, Batgirl wears her own custom bat suit, lined with Kevlar and filled to the brim with advanced technology.

It's basically a slimmed down combination of military grade armor and spy gear that even James Bond would be jealous of.

Nick Bad Man's version helped him survive this humongous explosion.

Look at the size of that thing, you know, whiz with your brains and my brown, we could make ourselves quite the dynamic duo.

Well, way have been a duo for the past nine years.

Almost 10.

Now it's been that long.

Oh my God, I'm old.

I am so old.

What have I done with my life?

I feel your buddy.
