Yesterday, the final episode of Batman: The Brave and The Bold aired in the UK. Viewers were surprised with the short clip below of Barbara Gordon fighting crime, CGI style.







Is there more to DC's recent decision to move Barbara Gordon from her wheelchair and place her back into the Batgirl cowl? Whether this was just a fun treat for fans or something that's in active development at Cartoon Network remains to be seen.


Batgirl is the name of several fictional characters appearing in comic books published by DC Comics, frequently depicted as female counterparts to the superhero Batman. Originally created by Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldoff, a character that is (arguably) considered by some to be the first incarnation of Batgirl, the "Bat-Girl" Betty Kane, debuted in Batman #139 (April 1961) as the Robin-like sidekick to Batwoman. Following the promotion of Julius Schwartz to editor of the Batman-related comic book titles in 1964, the Bat-Girl character was removed from publication (along with Batwoman) and replaced by the "new" Batgirl Barbara Gordon, police commissioner James Gordon's daughter, in late 1966. This version of Batgirl was introduced in Gardner Fox and Carmine Infantino's Detective Comics #359, entitled "The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl."

I seem to remember it being said that a new CGI Batman series was in the works a while ago... Maybe this is it, and Batman will just guest star?

Every time I see something superhero related thats CGI, I automatically think of The Incredibles. This looks fun.

@Sortis CN doesn't care about what we think, this is for kids dude. I think it'd be a great show for girls, it would give them a role model and expose them to more DC at the same time.

They should make a Red Hood/Jason Todd show on like AMC or HBO. THAT would be awesome.

Who was the idiot in the background talking outside from the tv? Sounded like the fat nerdy minion from the venture brothers.

The batgirl logo looks really [frick]ing stupid.

What happened to the new Batman animated show that they joked would be "so dark that this time he's a serial killer?"

@sigma this, this, and a thousand times this. nightwing is the best character in the bat-family anyway, and he needs his own show, with animation a la batman: the animated series

Well, the presentation was odd as hell, but the show itself looks like it could be cool.

When I heard that she brought a 'friend' along I thought 'Yes, finally! Nightwing', then the dark figure gets off the bike, I was so crushed.

It looks kind of cool if they make this I will check it out. And Dick Grayson/Nightwing is boring Tim Drake is a lot more interesting.
