Barbara Gordon is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics , commonly in association with the superhero Batman . The character was created by William Dozier , Julius Schwartz , and Carmine Infantino . At the request of the producers of the 1960s Batman television series , DC editor Schwartz called for a new female counterpart to the superhero Batman that could be introduced into publication and the third season of the show simultaneously . The character subsequently made her first comic book appearance as Batgirl in Detective Comics # 359 , titled The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl ! ( January 1967 ) , by writer Gardner Fox and artist Carmine Infantino , allowing her to be introduced into the television series in the season 3 premiere Enter Batgirl , Exit Penguin , in September that same year . Barbara Gordon is the daughter of Gotham City police commissioner James Gordon , the sister of James Gordon Jr. , and is initially employed as head of the Gotham City Public Library . Although the character appeared in various DC Comics publications , she was prominently featured in Batman Family which debuted in 1975 , partnered with the original Robin , Dick Grayson . In 1988 , following the editorial retirement of the character 's Batgirl persona in Batgirl Special # 1 , the graphic novel Batman : The Killing Joke depicts the Joker shooting her through the spinal cord in her civilian identity , resulting in paraplegia . In subsequent stories , the character was reestablished as a technical advisor , computer expert and information broker known as Oracle . Providing intelligence and computer hacking services to assist other superheroes , she makes her first appearance as Oracle in Suicide Squad # 23 ( 1989 ) and later became a featured lead of the Birds of Prey series . Reverting the character to her Batgirl persona , DC Comics relaunched its comic book titles in 2011 during The New 52 event , featuring her in the eponymous Batgirl monthly title as well as Birds of Prey . These changes were retained for the second company wide relaunch in 2016 known as DC Rebirth .
Batgirl is the name of several fictional superheroines appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics , depicted as female counterparts to the superhero Batman .

The character debuted in Detective Comics # 359 ( January 1967 ) by writer Gardner Fox and artist Carmine Infantino , introduced as the daughter of police commissioner James Gordon . Batgirl operates in Gotham City , allying herself with Batman and the original Robin , Dick Grayson , along with other masked vigilantes . The character appeared regularly in Detective Comics , Batman Family , and several other books produced by DC until 1988 . That year , Barbara Gordon appeared in Barbara Kesel 's Batgirl Special # 1 , in which she retires from crime-fighting . She subsequently appeared in Alan Moore 's graphic novel Batman : The Killing Joke where , in her civilian identity , she is shot by the Joker and left paraplegic . Although she is reimagined as the computer expert and information broker Oracle by editor Kim Yale and writer John Ostrander the following year , her paralysis sparked debate about the portrayal of women in comics , particularly violence depicted toward female characters . In the 1999 storyline No Man 's Land , the character Helena Bertinelli , known as Huntress , briefly assumes the role of Batgirl until she is stripped of the identity by Batman for violating his stringent codes .

Love 's Labour 's Lost is a 2000 adaptation of the comic play Love 's Labour 's Lost by William Shakespeare , directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh . The first feature film to be made of this lesser-known comedy , Branagh 's fourth film of a Shakespeare play was a box-office and critical disappointment . Branagh 's film turns Love 's Labour 's Lost into a romantic Hollywood musical . Set and costume design evoke the Europe of 1939 ; the music ( classic Broadway songs of the 1930s ) and newsreel-style footage are also chief period details . The cast includes Shakespearean veterans such as Timothy Spall , Richard Briers and Geraldine McEwan , alongside Hollywood actors Alicia Silverstone and Matthew Lillard and Broadway and West End stars such as Nathan Lane and Jimmy Yuill .
