Barbara Gordon Was Never as Devoted to Batman as Others
She Defied Batman’s Rules as Both Batgirl and Oracle
Every other member of the Bat - Family came to Batman out of some sense of cataclysm ( normally dead parents ) . This pattern does n’t hold true for Barbara Gordon . While Babs was certainly inspired to become Batgirl by Batman , she never really postulate or asked for his permission to do it . In fact , most versions of the narrative have Batman heavily againstthe idea of Barbara being Batgirl . Despite this opposition , she proceed to wear the emblem and eventually proved herself . Batman ends up recognizing ( and needing ) her as a appendage of his team , but Babs has never been one to stick with his club or even handle all that much for his rules .
As well as one of the three current Batgirls , Barbara Gordon is also often known as the techno - spy Oracle : the original laminitis of the Birds of Prey and the communication / surveillance expert in the Bat - Family .
Batman ’s two biggest rules for the Bat - Familyare no throttle and no killing . While Barbara Gordon has done her good to stick to no killing , she ’s been a bit looser on the no guns . develop up as the girl of a fuzz , Barbara knows her agency around a gun and likely has plentitude of experience with them from her puerility . While she ’s not know for using guns as weapons , she also certainly would n’t have an aversion to doing so . Barbara Gordon ’s grapheme has always been just a bit more morally gray than others , with her even leading the Suicide Squad in her former years as Oracle
