Exusiai's Notes Let me go ahead and say this. This is by far the BEST.VERSION. of Barbara Gordon. She was handed a pile of crap on a silver plate when Joker shot her. Did she let that stop her career as a hero? NO, she went and found another way to fight crime. She found what remaining strengths she had and she put them to AMAZING use. If ever there was an example of a strong female character in comic books it is her. I personally feel that bringing her back as Batgirl undercuts her as a character. Not to mention the fact that she is / could be / was an inspiration to any girl out there who lives their life in a wheelchair.
