Although Barbara Gordon was
crippled by the maniac only known as the Joker, Barbara has
gotten the chance to put on the Batgirl suit one more time
and fight crime. However, she's never gotten the chance to
keep it. Barbara Gordon
originally only became the internet broker known as Oracle
and joined the Suicide Squad for only one thing. Her legs
back. She figured if she helped them they'd return teh favor
by giving back her legs. However it never came about, and
instead Barbara decided to live in the wheelchair and be
happy with thw way things are.
Although Barbara is in a
wheelchair, that doesn't mean that Batgirl is dead. The
first time she was "ressurected" was when the murderous Hank
Hall AKA Monarch became the villain known as Extant and
gained teh power to chagne time to anyway he chose.
Converging timelines, he brought Batgirl back from the dead.
Only problem was Oracle was around at the same time, which
got very confusing for Batman, so he went to Superman, but
because of the timeline crisis, thousands of other batmans
from other eras showed up as well. Before, Extant was
defeated, Batgirl was killed one more time when she was shot
with a blast of energy into her spine. Deja Vu all over
again. Later when the demon lord known as Neron went around
making bargains with metahumans and super-heoes and villains
for the souls in return, he went to her offering her legs
back and the ability to be Batgirl again. Showing her what
it would be like, Barbara refused the offer and Neron left
her. Again, Barbara was offerd her legs again by the Martian
Manhunter when she was in the JLA. Although they could give
some sort of mechanical leg construct, she kindly said no.
One last time, Barbara was offerd her legs back and become
Batgirl, and although Barbara would have said no, this time
she wasn't given the choice. The woman only known as
Spellbinder hallucinated her and showed her life as if she
was never shot by the Joker. Instead of Oracle teaming up
with Black canary to become the Birds of Prey, Batgirl did
and when the dream wa over, Barbara was furious and beat up
the Spellbinder sending her back to prison. Another time
Batgirl returned from the dead, but it had nothing to do
with Barbara Gordon this time. When the Scarecrow induced
Dick Grayson AKA Nightwing with fear serum. he saw an
imaginary world that could never exist. In this world,
Batgirl existed fighting crime. Batgirl was resurrected one
last time (and hopefully the final time), when the Joker was
given the powers of a god, and reshpaed teh world in his
wackey image. In the world Batgirl existed. Both Barbara
Gordon and Cassandra Cain. Before this world was ended by
Superman, Barbara asked Bassandra to fight her so she could
test her skills, but lost badly to Cassandra relizing
staying in a wheelchair is better for her.
