Commissioner Barbara Gordon
Voiced By: Stockard Channing

The Character

Barbara Gordon may no longer be the costumed Batgirl, but she is still active in the fight against crime. Taking over her father's old job, Barbara is now the police commissioner of Gotham city. Though white-haired and in her early sixties, Gordon is still a smart, tough-as-nails cop who you don't want to mess with.

Parallels and Thoughts

Gotham's new Commissioner Gordon is a bit different from her predecessor. The most obvious difference is that she is a woman. Times, however, have change, and Gordon has had to change with it. Barbara knows who the original Batman was, having worked with him as Batgirl. She also knows that Terry, Bruce Wayne's new aide, is really the new Batman. But according to Gordon, she cannot have the same type of relationship with Terry as her father had with Bruce, even though she seems to be trying to make allowences. Perhaps further into the series we will learn why this is the case, and also more about her relationship with Bruce.
