The
Character
Barbara Gordon may no longer be the costumed Batgirl,
but she is still active in the fight against crime. Taking over
her father's old job, Barbara is now the police commissioner of
Gotham city. Though white-haired and in her early sixties,
Gordon is still a smart, tough-as-nails cop who you don't want to
mess with.
Parallels
and Thoughts
Gotham's new Commissioner Gordon is a bit different
from her predecessor. The most obvious difference is that she is
a woman. Times, however, have change, and Gordon has had to change
with it. Barbara knows who the original Batman was, having worked
with him as Batgirl. She also knows that Terry, Bruce Wayne's new
aide, is really the new Batman. But according to Gordon, she cannot
have the same type of relationship with Terry as her father had
with Bruce, even though she seems to be trying to make allowances.
Perhaps further into the series we will learn why this is the case,
and also more about her relationship with Bruce.
