I know you, Bane. I see you. It was never enough to break some one physically, for you. You have to crush them in their soul. Like that swordsman in the desert. Like you tried to do with Batman. It won't work. I've lost everything and I'm still here.

— Bête Noir

History

Barbara Gordon gave the role of Batgirl to three women she helped train. She got married, but her brother interrupted the ceremony and killed her fiancé. Her response to this was to hunt data, infiltrate the Gotham syndicates and dismantle them from within. They never saw her coming, criminals started referring to her "the Bete Noire".

To defeat Bane, the last great criminal, she came to his organization as a menial worker with great fighting skill. Working her way up the ranks, she eventually defeated him after losing once

Thirty years later, Batgirl was one of the many heroes corrupted by Brother Eye and transformed into a cybernetic version of herself. She was then fused with the Batsignal, which has been replaced by the Brother Eye logo.

After the Futures End timeline was altered, she was rescued from one of Brother Eye's conversion camps by Tim Drake, the current Batman, and now serves as a valuable ally in the recreation of the world, particularly Gotham City, in the aftermath of what Brother Eye did to the planet.
