Without a doubt, Barbara Gordon is the best Batgirl!! She's definitely a better martial artist, acrobat, detective, and smarter than every other version of the character; with the exception of Cassandra Cain surpassing her in martial arts skills.
Moore should feel bad! I absolutely hated "the killing joke"! It was sadistic & bordered on pornography. The fact that DC made it cannon irks me no end! Not only that, then they tried to retcon it without considering the fans at all! I agree with all your points 100%! Although I liked Cassandra's story line, she just couldn't replace Barbara!
I loved this Video I have Cerebral Palsy and spent my first 10 or do years of life In a wheelchair. I tought myself to walk. I use a cane but am adapting martial arts to my situation. I mention this all here because as a person with a disability we still hardly see disabled heroes. Seeing Barbara Gordon as Oracle when I was younger was very important to my development and how I viewed myself. Really great Video.
When I think of Batgirl I only think of Barbara Gordon her inner strength defines the character and her ability to be a Detective rivals Batman I would like to see a Batgirl comic where they get dark and gritty maybe a whole series where she has to square off against the Joker with no help would be interesting.
Loved your video and I love barbara gordon she is an amazing and one of the best dc characters ever made, but I do have a question so I read in her comic history that at first barbara was Jim's daughter but then the reboot happened which made her Jim's neice/adopted daughter and there was a small reboot which made her Jim's daughter again but was rebooted again, but then there was the full reboot which made barbara Jim's real daughter again so I'm confused at her history with that
She’s good, but she’s way better as Oracle. Cassandra Cain is the best Batgirl. Barbara wasn’t good because she was Batgirl she was good because of who she is, making her Batgirl is a regression especially with such a good character development as Oracle and being a Information Broker
My version is she was shot, then somthing years later got her ability to walk again but instead of maker her batgirl again, she is still oricle, but she can fight crime physically but I would balance her smarts and physical skills as the new oracle
I love the story, but I'm sorry the "When Disabled people won't be viewed as monsters" is pure and utter horseshit. As a society, as a standard our understanding for people who struggle with disabilities has never been greater. And I say that as the twin brother of a woman who spent her teenage years with an incredibly severe case of Epilepsy, had seizures in class on school trips, when we started going out.... Are there idiots who will make fun of disabled people? Absolutely, but those are idiots, they'll make fun of someones hair, eye color, dress or anything of the sort. Hell if ppl block disability ramps or disabled parking slots we (rightly ) treat them like the scum of the earth. We are in GENERAL fully aware of the immense strength of people with disabilities....

Totally agree...and the most level-headed

Thank you. Your comment means a lot to me
@@ComicBasics You are very welcome 😄
She’s basically the DC version of Spider-Man. An Everyman character that you can relate to.

I’m inlove with the way you write these out and talk about the character!! You’re pretty underrated

Killing joke was so sad
Did we ever get the Dick and Barbara background story video? I would love to see it :)
Same

I think a young Sarah Michelle Gellar would of made a perfect Batgirl/Barbara Gordon had she been given the opportunity to portray her.
Researching for a fanfic I'm writing on Wattpad. Seems Batgirl hasn't had much justice lately.
Are there movies or series where she walks again
Great video! Thank you for sharing this
