Batgirl

Batgirl is the masked vigilante identity most famously worn by Barbara Gordon, daughter of Gotham City’s police commissioner, James Gordon. Operating alongside Batman and Robin, she uses her intelligence, martial arts skills, and advanced gadgets to fight crime. Unlike many heroes, Batgirl doesn’t have superpowers — she relies on her sharp detective work, athletic ability, and fearless determination. Outside the cowl, Barbara is brilliant and resourceful, often portrayed as a librarian, computer expert, or hacker depending on the version. Her bright costume, often purple with a yellow bat symbol, stands out in Gotham’s shadowy streets, making her a symbol of hope and resilience.
