While this centres on supervillains, Birds of Prey fails on the costume design. Not a single character clothes himself/herself as a good superhero model portrayal of a costume. It feels very lazy thus, this however tones down the great energy the movie has possessed. It is so bad that varsity students can design them better. Barbara Gordon made her animated debut as Batgirl in the Filmation animated series Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder (originally known as The Batman/Superman Hour) which originally aired on CBS in 1968 with Batgirl playing a supporting role in The New Adventures of Batman; also produced by Filmation and aired on CBS in 1977.

In the present-day bookends of Wonder Woman, Diana receives a photo of her old World War I unit from Bruce Wayne – someone she met for the first time in Dawn of Justice. Wayne also crops up in Suicide Squad, meeting with Amanda Waller to discuss recruiting metahumans like Flash and Aquaman to help keep a Superman-less world safe. It's clear, then, that Wonder Woman's present day scenes and the events of Suicide Squad slot somwhere between Dawn of Justice and Justice League in the DCEU chronology. Since the character's debut in 1967, Barbara Gordon has been adapted into various media in her alter-egos as both Batgirl and Oracle, including live-action television (such as Batman and Birds of Prey), animated production ( Batman: The Animated Series, The New Batman Adventures, and 2004's The Batman) and video games (DCAU tie-ins, the LEGO DC series, and the Batman: Arkham series). She also served as the inspiration for Barbara Wilson in the 1997 film Batman & Robin. Barbara has also appeared in various video games as either Batgirl or Oracle, sometime serving as a playable character. Actresses to portray her have included Yvonne Craig, Dina Meyer, Savannah Welch and Leslie Grace. Barbara has also been voiced by Jane Webb, Melissa Gilbert, Tara Strong, Mary Kay Bergman, Danielle Judovits, Mae Whitman, Alyson Stoner, Kimberly Brooks, Ashley Greene, and America Young.Reluctant to fulfill his new responsibilities to the task force, Gordon secretly withholds the complete police records from Strange. Gordon also recruits Cort to work under him, believing that the gung-ho sergeant is ill-equipped to keep up with the Dark Knight. However, Cort proves that Gordon underestimated his determination to rid Gotham of Batman by recruiting a band of like-minded officers to join him on the task force, without Gordon's permission. Cort and his men find Batman at The Fish's hideout, in the midst of apprehending the drug peddler. They immediately open fire on Batman, causing him to flee and letting The Fish escape.

Development of the film began during the production of The Predator (2018), when producer John Davis was approached by Trachtenberg and Aison, with a concept that they had been developing since 2016. In late 2020, the film's title was revealed to be the codename for the fifth installment in the franchise. Filming took place around Calgary during the summer of 2021, with the entire film shot in English and some sequences shot in the Comanche language as well. The remaining sequences were dubbed into Comanche by the cast, reprising their roles. The film is the only feature film to have a full Comanche language dub. Booster Gold– a TV show about a guy from the future who uses his advanced tech to convince the world he’s a superhero. One year later, Cassandra kept the appointment - and died within minutes. Then Shiva restarted her heart, having realized that Cassandra "wanted" to die (although not why), and wishing for a fight Cassandra would try to win. In the ensuing battle, Cassandra realized that Shiva had her own death wish, and defeated her, although she spared Shiva's life. Batman regards Cassandra very highly. During War Games, he relied heavily on her to help control the violence of the gang war in Gotham City. Following War Games, Batgirl moved to Blüdhaven with Tim Drake (the third Robin) at Batman's suggestion and with his financial support (Nightwing had been injured during the crisis, and the Gotham City Police Department had declared all costumed heroes illegal). There, Deathstroke took on a contract from the Penguin to kill Batgirl and decided to let his daughter Rose (the current Ravager) do the job instead. Cassandra beat Rose by playing on her emotions to leave her open for a critical strike, giving Deathstroke no choice but to get her medical attention. During all this, Cassandra started developing friendships and even a very short lived relationship with a boy named Zero. Unfortunately, her friends would all later be killed in the Blüdhaven disaster.

While searching for Cain's base, Cassandra discovers a mystery woman who is revealed to be Batgirl's half-sister, who rebelled against Cain. This half-sister had tried to kill Cain many times without success. They pool their resources together but are caught by Ravager. The three women agree to work together and continue the search for their fathers. They eventually find a training school run by Cain and Deathstroke that is filled with more of Cassandra's "sisters." During the fight that follows, they discover that Deathstroke has rigged the building to blow. Cassandra places listening devices at the school and learns that the intended use of the training school girls was to "cripple the meta-hero community," leading Cassandra to believe Oracle is the target of the plot. Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow– Superman’s cousin is "much more hard-core and not the Supergirl we’re used to," promises Gunn. Hey guys so there are a lot of people that come on here that want to know which graphic novels to read. So what I did was compile a list of all graphic novels that I will continuously update that have bruce wayne in it. That also includes cameos. I still need to update it, because I believe I might accidentally have put in some story arcs. If I did please let me know. And there will be a key to them. I would also appreciate help with your opinions on good reads or must reads for people that don't have the time to read this entire list, because lets face it, it's long, and it can only get longer. And if I am missing any please let me know!Paul Dini had this idea of putting Barbara Gordon in the Lazarus Pit to revive her...I thought it was a great idea, and we pitched then-Batman editor Denny O'Neil with these drawings of that costume design. The idea of using the red instead of the traditional yellow was meant to invoke the idea that coming from the Lazarus Pit, she was in a way, more compromised as a character...And...that went nowhere. Denny shot it down, because, according to him, everybody loves Barbara Gordon as Oracle and as a handicapped character. The theory was that DC didn't have enough handicapped characters, so they weren't going to do anything with Barbara as she was. And the design went into the drawer."

Men's Health.David Fear of Rolling Stone referred to the film as a "long-awaited masterpiece" and "series highlight", and compared Midthunder's character favorably to Ellen Ripley of the Alien films. [55] Andrew Webster of The Verge admired "how patient it is", adding: "what makes Prey work is its simplicity. It never strays from its concept, instead slowly building up the tension before reaching a very exciting battle." [56] Belen Edwards of Mashable called it "intimate and character-driven, with more than enough action to satisfy the most die-hard Predator fans ... even if you've never watched a Predator movie, chances are you'll love Prey. It's just that good." [57] Truitt, Brian (August 5, 2022). " 'Prey' breakout Amber Midthunder talks axe throwing, outwitting the Predator and representation". USA Today.

As a result of his disappearance the Outsiders have been left in disarray with the loss of their leader. Batgirl, believing that Batman brought her in as a contingency, takes command of the team, while they attempt to locate Batman. During his absence, the rivalry that began between Nightwing and Batgirl reached its climax, leading to a fight between the pair. Alfred however arrived and broke up the argument, reminding them both that Gotham needed both of them to keep things together. Following this, Nightwing and Batgirl have at last appeared to have put aside their differences. Despite the establishment of Gordon's persona as Oracle, some observers have argued for the character's mobility to be restored. Reacting to Batman: The Killing Joke and Barbara Gordon's later character development as Oracle in Batman: Gotham Knights, Ray Tate, a reviewer at Comics Bulletin, writes,

Kate Kane, the modern Batwoman introduced during 52, wears a variant of Gordon's Batgirl costume designed by Ross. Some argue that the Barbara Gordon character provides a greater service to DC Comics and its readers in her current status, regardless of the events which preceded Oracle's creation. DC Senior Vice President Dan DiDio comments, "Some stories... are so strong that undoing them would be a crime. The DCU would be a lesser place without Barry's sacrifice, or the crippling of Barbara at the hands of the Joker." Although critical reception of Barbara Gordon's evolution into Oracle have been mixed among critics and other observers, according to John Ostrander- "We have, over the years, on those occasions when I have worked with the character, gotten some letters from those who have disabilities of one stripe or another and all have been very supportive. I feel very proud for my part in creating Oracle." Ostrander has also spoken about the value of Oracle to both DC Comics and its fan base: Prey is set during the early days of Batman's career as he is struggling to earn the trust of the public and form a working relationship with James Gordon, who is still just a police captain. In Batman #37 Endgame: Jim Gordon claims that he got Barbara's tonsils removed at Gotham Pres a day before the roof of the hospital collapsed.

Conclusion

Batgirl became a lighthearted departure from the tortured characters of Batman and Robin, each depicted as fighting crime to avenge the death of their parents. Gordon's motivation for crime fighting was written as being completely altruistic and, unlike Batwoman and Bat-Girl, independent of a male superhero. In her civilian identity, Dr. Barbara Gordon Ph.D. is not only depicted as an independent woman with a doctorate in library science, she is head of Gotham City public library; "presumably one of the largest public libraries in the DC Comics version of reality." The character's civilian career as a library professional, coupled with her alter-ego as a crime-fighter is considered to be symbolic of the women's empowerment movement of the 1960s.
