[List of appearances]

Batgirl, or Barbara Gordon, is a superhero and ally of Batman and Robin in LEGO Batman: The Videogame and is slated to reappear in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes in July 2012.

Description

In LEGO Batman

Batgirl wears a blue cowl with ears similar to Batman's. It has large eye holes, and unlike other DC characters who wear masks and cowls that have white eyes, Batgirl has normal eyes, but they are more detailed and cartoony than most other minifigures. Unlike Batman's cowl which goes down most of his face, Batgirl's begins to retreat where her nose would be, creating a ^ shape. Her dark red hair flows out of the back. In game, Batgirl wears a yellow cape, but in early images of the game and the character's still, it is blue. Her torso is grey, and in a similar style to the original Catwoman minifigure, having the same basic shape. She has a yellow bat-logo on her chest and a yellow belt with an oval at the center. Batgirl's arms and legs are grey, and her hands are yellow.

The cartoony eyes strongly resemble the ones Batgirl had in the DC Animated Universe, and her costume does resemble the one she wore in the three episodes of Batman: The Animated Series which she appeared in. It should be noted that on that program her gloves and cape were blue, not yellow.

In LEGO Batman, Batgirl has four super suits which give her different abilities and change her appearance.

The heat protection suit turns her grey parts red, her blue parts darker red, and gives her red goggles. This allows her to survive contact with red-hot LEGO objects and once it is upgraded, use a flaming batarang.

The glide suit is the same as her normal suit, but instead of a yellow cape she has a black set of wings wing which allow her to glide. This suit can be upgraded, but a glitch prevents Batgirl from using the additional "slam" power.

The demolition suit recolours Batgirl's grey parts and cowl black, and removes her cape, replacing it with a detonator and gives her a radio. With it, she can place bat-bombs to destroy silver objects and becomes bulletproof when upgraded.

Batgirl's grey parts are turned blue with the sonic suit and she is given a gun which emits sound waves. When upgraded, the gun can affect larger areas, knock enemies back, and summon bats to attack enemies.

In LEGO Batman 2

As of now, only a small image of Batgirl's character token has been seen. She seems to have the same cowl, but in black and with a strap over her neck, like Batman and Hawkman's cowl/masks. The top of her torso has also been changed to black, suggesting that she has a design to her suit based on more modern incarnations rather than the animated version's blue and grey. Her eyes are different than before and normal minifigure styled.

Background

Being the adopted daughter of Commissioner Gordon, Barbara Gordon grew up in a household filled with police officers and their stories. When she was older, Barbara decided that she wanted to join the Gotham City Police Department and follow in her father's footsteps, but he wouldn't allow it. One night, at a Masquerade Ball, Barbara wore a homemade "female Batman" costume as a jive against her father and ended up stopping a planned kidnapping on billionaire Bruce Wayne by Killer Moth. Realizing that this was how she could fight crime, Barbara decided to keep the Batgirl moniker.

Though Batman didn't approve of her at first, he eventually came to accept her due to urges from Alfred and revealed his identity as Bruce Wayne to her. She worked with the Dynamic Duo, until Robin left when she became Batman's primary partner, until a new Robin was recruited.

Batgirl is romantically interested in Nightwing and is friends with Supergirl, despite Batman-family members not normally getting along with their Superman-family counerparts. Batgirl has rivalries with Batman's female enemies, particularly Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. She has also mentored Stephanie Brown.

Batgirl has led the Birds of Prey, a team of female super heroes. Her main agents being Huntress and Black Canary, though Catwoman, Wonder Woman, Katana, and even Poison Ivy have been members.

Though her love interest is normally Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Barbara hashad a crush on Azrael, been on a blind-date with Clark Kent and discovered his secret identity as Superman, and in some depictions, even shown attraction to Bruce Wayne.

Like, Nightwing, Supergirl, Huntress, Black Canary, Shazam, Zatanna, Hawkman, and Hawkgirl, Batgirl occasionally works with the Justice League, which mainly includes Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, and The Martian Manhunter.

In LEGO Batman

In console, PC, and PSP versions of LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Batgirl played no role and could be purchased for 100,000 studs. The batcomputer did give her a bit of background though, confirming that Batgirl's civilian identity is Barbara Gordon and her father is the Police Commissioner, James Gordon.

On DS versions of the game, she was a boss on a villain level and helped Batman and Robin fight The Joker on the final level.

In LEGO Batman 2

Batgirl is confirmed to reappear in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. Any role in the game is unknown.
