I've reverted the merge of Oracle to Batgirl. This was done with no consensus by an anon and breaks the mold established by characters alter egos, such as Robin and Spoiler, being kept seperate. Gateman1997 21:20, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
We purposely keep them seperated out to make differentiating between the Batgirls easier. Gateman1997 22:24, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
I was wondering if the first Bat-Girl should have a separate page, since now all the other Batgirls do as well. It would also make links easier -- currently the Batwoman and Flamebird pages need to link using the awkward syntax of [[Batgirl#Betty Kane|Bat-Girl]].
But I figured I should ask first, since perhaps this idea has been debated and rejected in the past. - Lawrence King 04:36, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Why does the " Betty Kane" page redirect here, when there is an entire article dedicated to Betty Kane at Flamebird?
Recently, I split her off into Bette Kane and am in the process of correcting the redirects. Feel free to add or correct information. ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 22:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Hey everyone. I happened across this page kinda by accident and was reminded of an interview I read many years ago in Cinefantastique magazine regarding Ms. Craig's time as Batgirl. Supposedly, the nature of her costume made it impossible for her to sit down between takes, or else the entire thing would become bunched up and crumpled. Has anyone else out there heard this story? I will try to find the issue where the interview is printed, but I thought I would ask. I think that's a fairly neat little piece of trivia regarding that portrayl of the character. I don't know much about the character but this article is pretty informative. Thanks for listening. Ljacone
I find myself wondering why the word 'classic' belongs in this sentence: "However, in the classic 1988 one shot The Killing Joke, The Joker shot her in the spine, leaving her paraplegic; she later reinvented herself as Oracle, the premiere information broker of the DC’s superhero community."
It seems a vague, possibly subjective, and at any rate unencyclopedic note to hit. Does anyone agree or disagree?

As much as I hate "The Killing Joke" as a comic, it is indeed considered a classic my comic-book collectors and fans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.78.163.63 ( talk) 16:12, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Do we want to add this category on this page? It is on the Barbara Gordon page now, and I know that the other characters to be Batgirl were not librarians, but I don't think it would be inappropriate here as well. Comments?
KConWiki 13:23, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Moving this to the bottom of the page ... No. If there's a shared page, and no spinoffs, then it would be appropriate, but in this case, it's more applicable on Babs' page alone. -- Ipstenu ( talk| contribs) 13:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Since Barbara Gordon is the only Batgirl to have been adapted into other media, I suggest having "Batgirl in other media" reduced to a single paragraph and redirect to Barbara_Gordon#Adaptations_into_other_Media Bookkeeperoftheoccult 05:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Barbara Gordon's incarnation as Batgirl has become one of DC Comic's most recognizable female superhero icons. To date, Gordon's version of Batgirl has been adapted into all media relating to the Batman franchise including merchandise, television, animation and feature film. Notable adaptations of Batgirl include:
I really don't believe why is not mentioned the participation of Barbara Gordon in Batman Beyond. Please check the Batman Beyond article in Wikipedia, there she is mentioned. Don't you think is a discrepancy not to talk about that here too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.134.69.125 ( talk) 17:38, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
In Batman the Animated Animated Series, didn't she die when the Scarecrow pushed her off a skyscraper? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.122.193 ( talk) 13:00, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
At first I was taken aback by the odd organization of the article. It talks about everything from a historical perspective, rather than having an "origins" section and an "abilities" section and a "reception" section. But as I read it I realized it covers all of those things very well. Great job. Wrad ( talk) 01:46, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
There are problems with the use of dashes in the article. GrahamColm Talk 10:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that this main Batgirl page doesn't list any collected editions, but the article 'Cassandra Cain' does... to me, this seems really counter-intuitive and kind of backwards. Wouldn't it be better to show the Batgirl TPBs on the Batgirl article itself? 94.168.72.144 ( talk) 17:10, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
I was thinking that due to the Batgirl merger we could have the publication history have the Volume one and two from the merging article replace Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown. Volume One for Cain and Two for Brown. We will keep any existing infromation and add the new one and add the collected editions into this article. Or we could have volume one and two int the publication page with the collected editions and have the characters in their own section. -- Schmeater ( talk) 00:39, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Helena Bertinelli belongs in the same category as Betty Kane, Barbara Gordon, Cassandra Cain, and Stephanie Brown as an officially recognized Batgirl. Though her tenure as Batgirl was intended as temporary, she was a Batgirl officially sanctioned by Batman and was heavily promoted by DC at the time as a new Batgirl.
Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe falls into a separate category and, I would argue, does not even deserve a mention in this article. She is in the same league of Batgirl imposters as Harley Quinn briefly posing as Batgirl, Dick Grayson dressing in drag as Batgirl as a decoy (in Batgirl: Year One), Clayface pretending to be Batgirl (in Supergirl #19), etc.
What is the consensus? If no objections are raised, I intend to edit the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlackburnianW ( talk • contribs) 21:37, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
history in comics of being portrayed as martial artists, and as a result, are often exploited as sex objects. - this seems a non-sequitur. What has being a martial artist got to do with being exploited as a sex object??? many male martial artists are in comic books are they also so exploited? What makes sexual exploitation of women anything to do with if they are martial artists or not??? at present this does not follow logically. Perhaps someone who knows the genre better can calrify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.165.130.52 ( talk) 18:41, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

There's redirect link at the very top of the article to Batboy. This article is for Batgirl, not "Batboy". I believe the redirect link should be removed, since it's irrelevant. If the character was named Batboy, then it would stand to reason that a redirect link should be present. DrRC ( talk) 21:01, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Fails criteria 2 and 3: the article needs more citations (preferably from secondary sources), and it goes into excessive detail significantly beyond what is appropriate for the article. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 01:51, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
