"As with many of our characters and plot elements, the circumstances around Barbara's injuries differ in some important ways from how it's been portrayed in the comics," explained creative director Patrick Redding in the Q&A. Now though, in a recent Q&A with the developers (as reported by Eurogamer), the developers have changed Batgirl's biography in an attempt to be more sensitive to the character. It's a complicated history, and one that shouldn't have been written off as 'she trained hard enough' to change it. And more recently, in the New 52 era of comics, Batgirl underwent an experimental surgery, as well as physical therapy, in order to regain her mobility. In turn, she became Oracle, a more tech savvy hero that assisted Batman from the shadows. But in the famous comic The Killing Joke, Gordon is shot in the spine by the Joker, paralysing her from the waist down. Some quick context for the world of Batman: Barbara Gordon, Commissioner Gordon's daughter, first donned the cowl as Batgirl in 1967. As in the character's biography on the game's official site, it originally said "her father's death spurred her to train and recover from her wounds so that she could return to active duty as Batgirl."įans obviously reacted negatively to this, because that just isn't how 'recovering' from a lifelong disability works. Gotham Knights is set to release later this year, but fans have voiced their concern at a particular narrative detail regarding Batgirl's history. After some controversy regarding Batgirl's biography in relation to her paralysis recovery in Gotham Knights, details have been changed by Warner Bros.
