Since she was a teenager, Barbara Gordon idolized Batman. Eventually she became one of his "students" and started out a crime-fighting career which appeared to be over when the Joker crippled her. However, Barbara pulled herself together and reclaimed her cowl and cape, founding a new super-team -the Birds of Prey- and battling new villains like Knightfall.
