Barbara Gordon, the most popular Batgirl

Batgirl is one of the oldest and most popular heroes in the DC Universe. Although the most popular incarnation made it to the scene in 1967, the character has been around in one or another way since 1961. A lot of women have wore the "Batgirl" mantle since the Silver Age, the most prominent being: Bette Kane, Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown.
