barbara gordon always had a connection
to crime fighting
her father was gotham city's police
commissioner and she idolized the
legendary superhero
batman so she whipped up her own bat
costume to crash a police ball
yeah she's a rebel but not twist a
criminal crashed it first and she wound
up saving the day
this sparked a fire in barbara a fire
for
justice and a drive to confront crime on
her own
with this new mission came another goal
to officially join batman and robin
as the next badass crime fighter batgirl
you know how come she's called batgirl
when dick gets to be robin
her identity and individuality shouldn't
be anchored to the patriarchal idea that
women are publicly defined by the men in
their life
uh well said boomstick now joining the
bat family wasn't easy the dynamic duo
weren't exactly keen on adding a third
wheel
but batgal worked hard to prove herself
and she's not just a tough fighter she's
super smart
with a strong understanding of
technology and computer hacking
batgirl knew she could prove useful to a
team that relies on tech
like you know batman and robin how could
the bat and the bird say
no and after settling into the bat cave
she honed her skills by training with
the batman himself
who's basically the world's greatest
ninja times a thousand
not like she was some rookie before that
though her cop dad had her study a bunch
of martial arts like judo and karate
of course batgirl wears her own custom
bat suit
lined with kevlar and filled to the brim
with advanced technology
it's basically a slimmed down
combination of military-grade armor
and spy gear that even james bond would
be jealous of
heck batman's version helped him survive
this humongous explosion
look at the size of that thing you know
whiz with your brains and my brawn
we can make ourselves quite the dynamic
duo well
we have been a duo for the past nine
years
almost 10 now it's been that long
oh my god i'm old i'm so old
what have i done with my life i feel
your body
well while we take a break for our
existential crisis don't forget to come
back later this week to hear about
batgirl's opponent
spiderweb who will remember me
