Although a mostly-forgotten Bat-Girl appeared in Batman comic books of the early 1960s, the most well-known Batgirl was a collaboration between DC editors and the producers of the Batman television series and debuted in both mediums in 1967. She was Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon.

In 1988, the Joker shot Barbara Gordon in the spine, leaving her paraplegic and she reinvented herself as Batman?s research assistant, Oracle.

The current Batgirl, the martial arts prodigy Cassandra Cain, first appeared in 1999 and is the trainee of Oracle. She currently stars in an eponymous monthly series.
