Gotham Knights Batgirl Barbara Gordon Batman I Downloaded The WRONG GAME off the Game Pass

Barbara "Barb/Babs" Gordon is a superheroine and member of the Batman Family. Created by William Dozier, Julius Schartz, Gardner Fox and Carmine Infantino, she is the daughter of Commissioner James Gordon and an ally of Batman and Dick Grayson. From 1967 to 1988, she operated as the superheroine Batgirl, serving as the second character to use the identity. Barbara continued to operate, though was forced into retirement due to her crippling during Batman: The Killing Joke.
From 1989 to 2011, Barbara operated as the data broker Oracle, using her skills in Information Technology to help both the Batman Family and other superheroes. Under the identity, she was a member and leader of the superhero team Birds of Prey. Barbara returned to the Batgirl identity during 2011's The New 52, headlining both the fourth and fifth volumes of the Batgirl comic series, and various Birds of Prey titles. Following 2020s, she was reintegrated into the Oracle role, serving as a supporting character to Batman and a main character in the Batgirls comic series.

As Batgirl, Barbara Gordon has been described as one of the most popular characters to appear during the Silver Age of Comic Books. She also became a pop culture icon due to her appearances in the 1960s Batman television series and continued media exposure. During the early 1970s, the character was also used as an advocate for women's rights. However, her treatment in The Killing Joke has often come under criticism, often being cited as an infamous example of "fridging" female characters. However, her development as Oracle by John Ostrander and Kim Yale in the aftermath has often been praised. Barbara Gordon is the most-often adapted version of Batgirl in media relating to the Batman franchise, including films, television, animation and video games. Due to this, she is often the character most heavily associated with the Batgirl identity.

As the years went on, however, Barbara found her role as Batgirl less and less fulfilling, and she eventually more or less retired. That's when The Joker showed up at her house, shooting and paralyzing her and when he kidnapped her Uncle Jim. Batman rescued Jim Gordon, but 19-year-old Barbara Gordon's career as a crime fighter was over. She spent a month in a deep depression.

During the early eighties, Batman editors sporadically put Batgirl into retirement; the character resumed her role for special cases. In 1988, Alan Moore discussed writing The Killing Joke with editor Len Wein, and the two agreed that Barbara Gordon, currently in retirement, was disposable enough for the character’s career to come to a permanent end. Although events in The Killing Joke exert a great impact on the character, the story has little to do with Gordon. She is deployed as a plot device to cement the Joker’s vendetta against Commissioner Gordon and Batman. Critical reception of The Killing Joke has been mixed — while some commentators have been appalled by the treatment of Barbara Gordon, others have regarded The Killing Joke as one of the greatest Batman stories of all time.

Despite Moore's writing, Valerie D'Orazio, a former editor at Acclaim Comics and DC Comics has denounced the book, citing "It doesn't take the perspective of a woman into account. It doesn't take into account that some women might be so very disgusted with the book [and] what happens to Barbara Gordon in it." In response, Laura Hudson, Senior editor of Comic Foundry Magazine comments, "You’re supposed to be disgusted with what happens to Barbara Gordon...because it’s disgusting...As a woman and as an adult, I can deal with fictional characters performing reprehensible acts towards women... When they’re used not gratuitously but for a purpose, as I believe they were in The Killing Joke, that's exactly what they're supposed to do."

Gotham Knights is a role-playing action-adventure video game developed by WB Games Montreal and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Based on DC Comics' Batman and his supporting cast, the game was first revealed at DC FanDome on August 22nd, 2020, and released October 21st, 2022

Gotham Knights is set in Gotham City shortly after the death of Batman. His death, coupled with the death of GCPD Commissioner James Gordon has resulted in the city being stricken with a crime wave. As a contingency, Batman sent out a final message, known as "Code Black," to the members of the Bat Family and entrusted them with protecting the city. Accepting Batman's last wishes, the Bat Family has embarked on a crusade to keep Gotham safe from the many criminals and supervillains that threaten the city such as the Court of Owls and Mr. Freeze. Batman's former butler Alfred Pennyworth and GCPD Police Captain Renee Montoya have offered their assistance to the Bat Family to help them accomplish their mission.
