There have been several women who have assumed the identity of Batgirl, but the best-known Batgirl was the original, Barbara Gordon, daughter of Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon. After relinquishing her role as Batgirl, Barbara Gordon was later shot in the spine and crippled by the Joker. She continued to fight crime, even though she was wheelchair bound, under the guise of Oracle, a free-lance information broker and expert hacker. As a cruel joke towards the Bat squad, Quinn dressed up as the original
Batgirl. A second appearance of Quinn as Batgirl, featured her in the gray version of the Batgirl outfit.
