Using her old Oracle styles, she guides them all through using different tactics than they usually do to be effective.What does all this say? This all comes to the same verdict that it seems like Barbara Gordon (and editorial, based on this being the last issue) have found Batgirl doesn’t matter She doesn’t matter to[...]
Proving, for once and for all, that Oracle is greater than Batgirl in every possible metric, Barbara Gordon takes off the mask She picks up the keyboard and mic, almost singlehandedly leading Signal, Batwoman, Spoiler, Orphan, Red Hood, the often maligned Robin and a squad of fed-up cops to retake the streets of Gotham from[...]

Next week, Year of the Villain comes to the pages of Batgirl, with the cardstock villain variant featuring a new Oracle Wait, what? Yeah, we knew Oracle was coming "back" in the issue, but is this Gus Yale from the Batgirl and the Birds of Prey series? Or someone new? It's certainly not Barbara, that's[...]
But the then-former Batgirl found a new role as Oracle, coordinating the operations of the Bat-family and becoming more formidable from behind her command center than even when she wore the cowl But Barbara Gordon returned to being Batgirl with DC's Nu52 relaunch, part of an effort by DC to, for some reason, stomp on[...]

From DC's Batman panel happening right now at Denver Comic Con, one fan asked why Oracle was "taken away" and turned back into Batgirl in the New 52, by removing her diversity as a handicapped person Especially when she was previously very active and beloved.DC reps said that it was a valid question and that[...]
