Joss Whedon was in talks to write, direct and produce a Batgirl film as part of the DC Extended Universe.[1] The film will feature the Barbara Gordon incarnation of the character, with The New 5. Gail Simone serving as "a starting point" for the film.[2] In April 2. Whedon stated that he was fascinated by a character that chooses to be a vigilante, even though she hadn't suffered any tragedies in her life like Bruce Wayne / Batman, and that the damaged aspect of the character will be explored in the film.[3] In July, Geoff John's stated production on the film will begin in 2.

Batman: Under the Red Hood[edit]Barbara Gordon is directly alluded to in Batman: Under the Red Hood when Jason Todd mentions "friends [the Joker] has crippled" to Batman, most likely referencing to the night the Joker shot her to drive Commissioner Gordon insane. Batman: Bad Blood[edit]Barbara Gordon made a brief cameo in her Batgirl of Burnside costume at end of the animated film Batman: Bad Blood. Batman: The Killing Joke[edit]Tara Strong reprised her role as Barbara Gordon for the animated film adaptation of Batman: The Killing Joke.[4] Her Batgirl costume resembles the one from The New Batman Adventures and her debut appearance in Detective Comics #3. Batgirl's role in the film was expanded from the source material, including depicting her decision to retire as Batgirl just before the Joker's attack after a tense case with a ruthless gang leader, as well as an encounter with Batman that ended with them having sex. There is also a post- credit scene where Barbara, sometime after recovering in the hospital, now operates as Oracle. Barbara's role and portrayal in the film (which differs heavily from most other portrayals) has been heavily criticized as "cheap, misogynistic writing".[5]The LEGO Batman Movie[edit]Rosario Dawson voiced Barbara Gordon in The LEGO Batman Movie.[6] This incarnation is the new Police Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department after her father retires. But when the Joker causes chaos around the city and releases a few major non- DC comics villains from the Phantom Zone, Barbara helps Batman, Robin, and Alfred recapture the villains, and later on after she and the gang team up with the original Joker Gang, Barbara becomes Batgirl.

Her Batgirl costume is purple with gold accents to reflect the costume from the 6. TV series.[7]Television[edit]Live action[edit]Librarian Barbara Gordon and her alter ego Batgirl were portrayed by Yvonne Craig in the third season of the Batman television series (1. Her Batgirl costume color was purple with gold accents and it also incorporated a long red wig to hide her real avocado- style, black hair. In a promotional short,[8] librarian Barbara Gordon encounters millionaire Bruce Wayne and his "youthful ward" Dick Grayson at the Gotham City Public Library. As Gordon and Wayne become acquainted, Killer Moth and his henchmen (in full costume) discuss a plan of attack. One henchman suggests taking Bruce Wayne hostage, but Killer Moth shows reluctance, due to Wayne's alleged friendship with Batman. Moth directs the group to kidnap Wayne's business acquaintance instead, who also happens to be a billionaire.

When Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson realize the presence of their adversaries, they quickly leave the library to change into Batman and Robin. Meanwhile, Gordon is locked in the library's office by Killer Moth's henchmen, however, it is revealed there is a secret chamber within the office where she changes into Batgirl. When Batman and Robin arrive to apprehend Moth and his gang, all parties are shocked at the arrival of a Batgirl.

Batman, Robin, and Batgirl defeat the villains with relative ease and Batgirl vanishes without revealing her secret identity. Batgirl's costume in the episode closely resembles that later seen in the series, though the design of her mask changes. The short also featured a unique version of the Batman theme, ending with the lyric "Batgirl!" rather than the usual "Batman!" (and accompanied by an appropriately modified Batman logo).

The promotional short was able to renew the series for a third season and add Batgirl to its regular cast. Batgirl's official debut was in the episode "Enter Batgirl, Exit Penguin".[9] The Penguin kidnaps Commissioner Gordon's daughter Barbara, binds her to a chair and gags her, and hides her in the next- door apartment which is being redecorated. The dynamic duo make it their mission to rescue her. The Penguin plans to marry her, thinking that becoming Commissioner Gordon's son- in- law would make him immune from arrest.

He ungags her and forces her to agree to this by threatening to have Gordon killed. Pretending to be locked behind a secured door, Barbara makes her transformation into Batgirl and assists Batman and Robin in defeating the Penguin as they have been gassed and hung over a vat of acid. During the episode, Alfred Pennyworth discovers her secret identity - but he vows never to reveal it.

He claims she left a few minutes ago when the fight has finished, by which time Barbara has changed back. During the third season, Batgirl aided Batman and Robin in solving several mysteries and even saved them from near death by herself on several occasions.

Unfortunately, Batgirl's addition to the cast was not enough to save the series from cancellation. Although the promotional short has been mistakenly thought of as a pilot for Batgirl's own spin- off, it is highly unlikely ABC would have agreed to give her own series since Batman had been in danger of cancellation since the end of its first season. According to the book DC Comics: Sixty Years of the World's Favorite Comic Book Heroes, Batgirl's addition to the cast "was a sign of desperation. Ratings were down and there was hope that a new character might give the show a shot in the arm."[1. Yvonne Craig once again appeared as Batgirl in a 1. The 2. 00. 3 made- for- TV film Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt included scenes recreating the filming of the 1.

TV series. Erin Carufel plays Yvonne Craig / Batgirl, in the film. Birds of Prey[edit]Barbara Gordon appeared as Oracle as one of the main characters in the WB television series Birds of Prey, played by Dina Meyer.[1. The series was loosely based on the comic book of the same name.
