Bios - Batgirl / Barbara Gordon
Voiced by: Tara Strong
Barbara Gordon is the daughter of police commissioner James Gordon. By
day she works for the police department updating their crime files, by
night she battles the under the alias of Batgirl.
Barbara lives in a private townhouse near Gotham's trendy Park Ridge. A
service lift in Barbara's bedroom closet runs down to the secret
basement where Barbara stores her Batgirl crimefighting gear. In
addition to costumes and weapons, the basement also serves as garage for
Batgirl's highly-advanced Batcycle, a gift from Batman.
Her double life as Batgirl sometimes puts Barbara at an emotional
crossroads. As the daughter of the Police Commissioner, Barbara was
raised with respect for law and order, but her actions as Batgirl
technically label her a vigilante. If Batgirl was ever caught and
unmasked, the scandal would certainly destroy commissioner Gordon's
career. Still, Gotham is a city that breeds an extreme kind of criminal
and extreme crimefighters are needed to handle situations regular cops
can't. Barbara believes the good she does as Batgirl is worth the
potential risk to herself and her father.
