Barbara Gordon was the first modern age Batgirl until she was brutally shot by the Joker, rendering her paralyzed from the waist down. Barbara reinvented herself as Oracle, providing intelligence to the DCU heroes and leading the Birds of Prey. She has recently become Batgirl once again to protect Gotham City.

The Joker infiltrates the high-tech gang network of the Birds' new hometown, Platinum Flats! And that's going to set him up for a direct conflict with Oracle, Barbara Gordon!
I can't wait for next month to get here because I'm really looking forward to see what goes down when Barbara and the Joker finally face off again. When I got to that final page of #122 I think it was the most excited I've been about a comic book cliffhanger. I can't wait for next month and issue #123 to get here. I hope Babs gets to deliver him some long overdue payback.
Isn't the Joker HER arch nemesis as well as Batman's? He should show up more often. I'll never forget their recent battle: She tries to get over her fear of him & breaks his teeth with a billy club or lead pipe, but after being pistol-whipped, hits with a potted palm tree, & tossed down the stairs in her wheel chair, I don't think her plan went over very well. The Joker gettingnew teeth was predictable, but he kills the surgeons. Why bother being rich if you're not going to spend?
