## Personality

Batgirl is shown to operate similarly to Batman. She harbors anger towards criminals, quickly dispatching thugs with her acrobatic prowess before turning on Catwoman, seeing her as a villain first, despite her attempts to help. Batgirl even gives a "bat growl," further showing how she takes after her mentor

## Physical appearance

Barbara has light skin, long wavy red hair, and green eyes. She has a slender and fairly muscular build.

As Batgirl, she wears a form-fitting, dark purple costume with a yellow bat symbol on her chest, black cape, and yellow gloves and boots. She also has two yellow pouches on her belt. She wears a mask the covers half of her head and leaves the mouth and nose unmasked.

## History

### *Young Justice Abridged*

Robin promised Aqualad a "sexy picture of Batgirl" in exchange for his forgiveness.

Tim and Barbara later chatted at Gotham Academy, where she asked him why he never took pictures of her as Batgirl.

### *Batman Hush Abridged*

After Hush broke Batman's grapple line, causing him to fall multiple stories and be knocked unconscious, the Dark Knight was set upon by a group of thugs. Catwoman jumped in to defend him, but it was Batgirl who saved the day, defeating the thugs. She then turned on the villain, attempting to fight her before going to Batman's aid. She took him back to the Batcave, despite Alfred's protests.

## Trivia

* Production on the *DC Abridged Universe* lasted for ten years, and by 2020, the creative team had lost too much interest in the project to completely finish the series. This means that the final episode (or two) of the *Young Justice Abridged* series was canceled, as well as the planned films *The* *Judas Contract Abridged* and *Batman Hush Abridged*, with the team instead shifting their focus to the conclusion of the universe: *Flashpoint Abridged*. Batgirl's only physical appearance in the universe is in this unproduced *Batman Hush Abridged*.
* The script for the unproduced *Batman Hush Abridged* can be found on the official DC Abridged Patreon.
* Batgirl tells Catwoman that she broke Joker's arm in three places when he showed up at her house wearing a Hawaiian shirt and waving a gun around. This is a reference to the events of *Batman: The Killing Joke*, where Barbara is shot by Joker and paralyzed from the waist down, eventually going on to become the wheelchair-bound superhero Oracle. Her breaking the Joker's arm instead seems to imply that Earth-16A's Barbara Gordon was never shot nor did she ever serve as Oracle.
