Batgirl, particularly these days, is kind of the forgotten Batperson. Of course she doesn’t have the cultural cachet of Batman (who’s been on film, TV shows, etc.), but she’s not talked about even as much as Batwoman (who is going to be on the limitless Earths crossover; and no, Batwoman is not Batgirl when she grows up.) It seems strange, especially with the popularity of the Bat mythos and with the fact that she was once played by 90s icon Alicia Silverstone. The fact is, though, that a lot of people just don’t know about her. but they should. So here’s the history of Batgirl, from the peculiar reason she was created to her character today.
It begins in 1954 when psychiatrist Fredric Wertham wrote the book Seduction of the Innocent. (Please don’t fall asleep.) now if I gave you 3 guesses, I’m not sure you could predict what exactly Wertham blamed for seducing the poor 50s youth. rock and roll?電視? cool leather jackets? We could keep going, but it was comic books. little cartoon drawings, with their cartoon violence and hidden naked ladies (maybe), were leading American youth to ruin.

One of the most egregious offenders, according to Wertham, was Batman and his uneasy relationship with his ward, Robin. It was the kind of relationship that would later be spoofed by Saturday night live in its “Ambiguously Gay Duo” shorts. but that was decades later. In the 50s, DC just got Batman a girlfriend.
In 1956, Kathy Kane made her debut as Batman’s love interest and the original Batwoman. 5 years later, in 1961, her niece Betty Kane, the original Batgirl, also showed up. The Batman comics then turned a lot more toward 60s situational family comedy, with Bruce and Kathy as the Batdad and Batmom, respectively, and Robin and Betty as their kids. They even had a Bat-dog, Ace the Bat-Hound, and an imp called the Bat-Mite.
The popularity of Batman comics waned, though, in the early 60s to the point that DC nearly killed him. So when Julius Schwartz became the Batman editor in 1964, he reinvented the brand and the story by scuttling the extraneous Bat characters. Batman comics went back to being about a rich crime-fighter. as for Betty as Batgirl, the crisis on limitless Earths storyline in 1985 retconned her into non-existence. (Betty Kane herself didn’t disappear, though. A twist on the original character, the character Mary Elizabeth “Bette” Kane, is one of the women who has taken on the Flamebird mantle.)
Barbara Gordon Becomes The Batgirl

In the mid-60s, when the Batman TV series had taken off, the show’s producers tasked Schwartz with developing a female character to appeal to lady viewers. William Dozier, an executive producer, proposed that they make the new character both police Commissioner James Gordon’s daughter and the new Batgirl. artist Carmine Infantino created the concept artwork for the character, which Batman producers used to sell the show for the third season.
On the TV series, Yvonne Craig played Barbara Gordon, librarian by day and crime-fighter by night. together with Batman and Robin, they became the “Terrific Trio.”
Meanwhile, Barbara Gordon made her comic debut in Detective Comics #359, “The Million dollar Debut of Batgirl.” On her way to a costume party–dressed as a lady Batman, of course–she runs into the man in Bat himself. Specifically, she interrupts the killer Moth attempting to kidnap Batman and that’s enough for her to catch crimefightin’ fever. Batman tries to dissuade her, because of her delicate female sensibilities, but she ignores him.
Batgirl was a featured player in Detective Comics issues throughout the rest of the 60s and the 1970s. She also made appearances in other series, like Justice league of America. She briefly retired, after being elected to the us house of Representatives, but it didn’t take. After a year, she was back out there, teaming up with Superman.
Batgirl Survives The crisis On limitless Earths
Beginning in 1975, she had a starring role in the Batman family series, which focused on the adventures of the extended characters in Batman’s universe. In Batgirl’s case, that indicated partnering up with Robin a lot of of the time, although she does meet Batwoman in Batman family #10. The series ran through 1978, while Batgirl continued to make appearances in Detective Comics issues.
By the 1980s, DC had a massive number of characters and storylines. In buy to pare everything down to one DC Universe, they launched the crisis on limitless Earths series in 1985. Although Gordon is barely a blip in the series, it did retcon the history of Batgirl. No longer was she Jim Gordon’s daughter, but she was, instead, his niece, born to Jim’s brother Roger and his wife Thelma. Orp霍納德(Haned)13歲,芭芭拉(Barbara)搬到哥譚(Gotham),吉姆(Jim)和他的妻子(也叫芭芭拉(Barbara))收養了她。當然,那是她發燒的地方。 (惡棍是唯一已知的治療方法。)
兩年後,即1987年的秘密起源#20,戈登的過去將再次探索,並進行了微小的變化。例如,這次,她的爸爸不會在殺死母親的車禍中死亡。相反,他後來屈服於酒精有關的疾病。
顯然,退休還不夠:芭芭拉·戈登(Barbara Gordon)遇到了殺人笑話
通過DC的圖像
一年後,這並不重要,因為在1988年的Batgirl Special#1,DC退休的Barbara Gordon。儘管她退休了,但幾天后,她出現在艾倫·摩爾(Alan Moore)的里程碑式蝙蝠俠:殺人笑話中。這部圖形小說講述了小丑的起源故事。然而,故事最具爭議的方面之一是,小丑射擊和癱瘓了芭芭拉·戈登(Barbara Gordon)。以防萬一還不夠的話,小丑和他的傻瓜然後拍攝了她裸露的身體,這樣小丑就可以用照片折磨吉姆·戈登。
如果還不清楚,芭芭拉·戈登(Barbara Gordon) – 巴爾頓(Batgirl) – 對於這個對象而言,這個故事至關重要。她的感情和思想並不重要 – 至少,不如蝙蝠俠或她父親的那樣重要。她只是一種工具,是一種情感上的cudgel。毫不奇怪的是,這個故事情節在蝙蝠女的歷史上臭名昭著,對很多讀者來說並不理想。實際上,今天,甚至摩爾都對此表示遺憾,告訴《巫師》雜誌:“這可能是應該把我遏制的領域之一,但事實並非如此。”
但是芭芭拉(Barbara)沒有呆很長時間。漫畫作家金·耶爾(Kim Yale)和她的丈夫,作家約翰·奧斯特蘭德(John Ostrander)並不關心故事情節,並寫了一個新的作家,使芭芭拉(Barbara the Oracle)成為了向其他DC角色提供英特爾的信息經紀人。她與DC的全女性超級英雄團隊的獵物鳥類鳥類的同盟非常重要。她還將成為DC 2011年重新啟動其許多著名角色的“新52”的一部分。這樣,她將回到蝙蝠女。
在蓋爾·西蒙妮(Gail Simone)的最佳奔跑系列《蝙蝠女》(Batgirl)中,芭芭拉(Barbara)由於實驗性手術而重新使用了腿部,但她的情況並不好。她在PTSD和倖存者的內gui中掙扎。不過,她又以自己的野心和代理機構是一個真實的人。
蝙蝠女去伯恩賽德,回到鳥兒
在2014年,這一想法將繼續持續到芭芭拉·戈登(Barbara Gordon)故事的另一個重新啟動。這次,她是一個居住在布魯克林的哥譚自治市伯恩賽德的時髦博士生。即使將Batgirl(該系列)作為DC 2016年“ Rebirth”的一部分包括在內,該故事情節仍將繼續,也就是他們重新啟動其財產的另一個藉口。這個版本的芭芭拉·戈登·蝙蝠女(Barbara Gordon Batgirl)一直持續到今天。
在重生的同時,Batgirl恢復了她以前與Batgirl和The Prey Birds Lady Birds的聯盟。該系列於2016年7月推出,持續到2018年5月。
歷史上不止一個蝙蝠女
圖像通過DC
卡桑德拉·凱恩(Cassandra Cain)首次出現在1999年的蝙蝠俠#567中,是刺客濕婆(Shiva)和大衛·凱恩(David Cain)的孩子。出於漫畫的原因,他們剝奪了她的正常調理,以使她成為世界一流的刺客。你知道,反派育兒。您可能會想像的,這也是如此,因為她是一名可怕的戰鬥機,但幾乎無法閱讀,交流或社交。
在1999年的“ No Man’s Land”故事情節中,該隱將Batgirl的地幔在Batman和Oracle(Barbara Gordon)的宙斯盾下。她實際上是故事情節中的第二個蝙蝠女。海倫娜·貝蒂內利(Helena Bertinelli)首先簡要成為蝙蝠女。然而,在她的風格與最初的蝙蝠俠(蝙蝠俠)衝突後,她回到了女獵人身上。
另一方面,卡桑德拉·凱恩(Cassandra Cain)可能是與芭芭拉·戈登(Barbara Gordon)之後的蝙蝠女歷史有關的角色。在她參加“無人土地”系列的露面之後,她將繼續成為第一個擁有自己每月系列的蝙蝠女。她還是第一個亞洲蝙蝠女,也是亞洲最重要的漫畫人物時期之一。
在Batgirl系列中,該隱實際上放棄了她的伙伴去臥底。斯蒂芬妮·布朗(Stephanie Brown),第一位女性羅賓(Robin),然後扮演這個角色。該隱返回後,布朗放棄了,並返回了她的警惕性Alter-ego,擾流板。
在該隱扮演父親的角色之後,夏洛特·查理(Charlie)蓋奇·拉德克利夫(Gage-Radcliffe)成為眨眼與你的眨眼無聲的下一個蝙蝠女。芭芭拉(Barbara)意識到自己的才華,但知道自己年輕時很容易發生,他說出了自己的蝙蝠女郎。查理(Charlie)奮鬥不適。
注意:這些是蝙蝠女歷史上的佳能蝙蝠女和索賠人。此列表不包括盧西烏斯·福克斯(Lucius Fox)的女兒蒂法尼(Tiffany)等替代時間軸/歷史蝙蝠女。或DC Comics Bombshells中的Batgirls的Vigilante小組。或該系列中的芭芭拉·戈登(Barbara Gordon)的版本顯然是吸血鬼蝙蝠女。
蝙蝠女的電影歷史
Yvonne Craig AS蝙蝠女,圖像乘20世紀福克斯
在伊馮·克雷格(Yvonne Craig)之外,電視蝙蝠女通常沒有真人。雖然芭芭拉·戈登(Barbara Gordon)是幾個節目中的角色,但她的蝙蝠女的身份通常不會隨身攜帶。在某些節目中有提到它的引用,例如猛禽,其中以戈登(Dina Meyer)為Batgirl的閃回。此外,泰坦劇集“迪克·格雷森”似乎暗示著它的戈登是蝙蝠女。但是,在直播電視上,戈登通常僅作為Oracle工作。
在動畫電視中,Batgirl是一個更著名的角色。她從來沒有自己的表演,但是她一直是許多以蝙蝠俠為中心的系列賽的特色球員。她在DC節目中也是女性超級英雄的重要角色,例如Weberies Gotham Girls和DC令人難以置信的英雄女孩。
在電影中,艾麗西亞·西爾弗斯通(Alicia Silverstone)在1997年的《蝙蝠俠與羅賓》(Batman&Robin)扮演蝙蝠俠的年輕女子芭芭拉·威爾遜(Barbara Wilson)。隨著名字更改,家庭也發生了變化。在電影中,她與吉姆·戈登沒有任何關係。相反,她是阿爾弗雷德·潘尼沃思(Alfred Pennyworth)的侄女。
與電視一樣,與真人版本相比,電影中出現了許多動畫版本的蝙蝠女。芭芭拉·戈登(Barbara Gordon)蝙蝠俠(Barbara Gordon Batgirl)是動畫電影的一部分,例如樂高蝙蝠俠電影(Lego Batman Motion Pictures)和《蝙蝠俠:殺戮笑話》的電影版本。在摩爾經典故事的動畫改編中,這部電影的前半部分在DC Multiverse的那個角落建立了蝙蝠女的歷史。講故事的人做出了一些可疑的角色決定,特別是蝙蝠俠和蝙蝠女鉤的場景。但是,她沒有自己的獨立電影動畫或現場直播。但這是由於變化。
華納兄弟(Warner Brothers)正在計劃一部蝙蝠俠電影。儘管他們尚未確定(可能的女性)導演,但他們聘請了編劇。克里斯蒂娜·霍德森(Christina Hodson)撰寫了電影《大黃蜂》(Bumblebee)和即將上映的哈雷·奎因(Harley Quinn)車輛,獵物鳥(Birds of Prey)(擁有其第一張預告片)將接管蝙蝠女郎(Batgirl)。顯然,我們不知道這個故事會是什麼,但是有一些暗示它會與蝙蝠俠相吻合。因此,在蝙蝠女孩歷史的黎明黎明將近60年後,她終於準備好了她的特寫鏡頭。現在是時候了。
