Barbara Gordon (Post-Crisis)

==Summary==
Barbara Gordon is the daughter of Roger Gordon, the brother of Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon, and Thelma Gordon. When she was young, her mother died in a car accident and her father became an alcoholic, which led to his own death, and Barbara was sent to be raised by her uncle. As she grew up, she desired to become a police officer like her foster father, but he strongly disapproved of this. Eventually, Barbara created a costume that resembled the Batman for a masquerade ball, but when Killer Moth crashed the party and attempted to assassinate Bruce Wayne, Barbara stopped him and encountered Batman and Robin for the first time. Batman was against Barbara trying to become a vigilante, but he secretly had Robin test her to see if she was capable. After teaming up with Black Canary and stopping Killer Moth and Firefly, Batman officially indoctrinated Barbara into his team as Batgirl.
Following the editorial retirement of the character's Batgirl persona in 1988, Alan Moore's graphic novel Batman: The Killing Joke depicts the Joker shooting Gordon through the spinal cord in her civilian identity and leaving her a paraplegic. Although Gordon would no longer resume her role as Batgirl in subsequent stories, editor Kim Yale and writer John Ostrander soon established the character as a computer expert and information broker code-named Oracle, providing intelligence and computer hacking services to assist other superheroes.
