History Of All The Batgirls 

My favourite is Steph. Her story of overcoming her shortcomings, finally proving everyone who didn't believe in her wrong and becoming her best self was truly inspiring.

Cassandra Cain is one of my favorite superheroes in comics. One of the best martial artists out there, beating/stalemating Lady Shiva, beating Batman, Can beat nightwing.

Cass was always my favourite!! I want her in new 52!!

My favorite is Cassandra Cain. She has an interesting ability reading body movements and an interesting backstory.

1. Cass 2. Steph 3. Babs mostly cus even though i knew of Barbara since forever. Cass was the one that attracted me to the chatacter, and Steph is just awesome.

Stephanie Brown is my favourite Batgirl. Her entire run was not just fun, but also watching a rebirth of a character. Knowing her history in the comics, seeing her donning one of the main mantles in the Bat-family, integrating with the other members, and having allies or support outside of her usual circle is refreshing to read. Especially with her entire history being pulled and pushed around (unintentionally, or even the sexist and out of character writing in the older comics) by some of the characters or used as plot device (looking at you War Games and that one particular Red Robin run). The run was like a redemption arc to a character like Steph, who had been through so much, yet had gained too little. And her growth to the brash, vengeful yet well meaning Spoiler who became a vigilante to stop her father by any means, who’s hero career wasn’t truly altruistic at the beginning. Who is now the optimist and hopeful Batgirl, had everything she had ever want and worked for going in her life, who wants to save and protect Gotham. Regardless the things she been through, the relationships she had lost, rekindled, and made, and situations she was unable to control. Rather than being angry and bitter, had only made her more empathetic. Turned her cynical to an idealistic, and becoming more kinder and hopeful in spite all of it. And for me, that was one of the greatest revival of a character, and going through their deserve development and writing after everything. I’m glad to know that she was once a prominent Batgirl with her own series.

I think my favorite is Steph from a standpoint of just loving Stephanie Brown and wishing there was more for her as Batgirl. Honestly I love Barbara Gordon, but I like that the Bat-Family sort of levels-up (Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin all grew from starting out as Robin and Oracle was like Barbara leveling up as a super-genius team leader) and Barbara going backwards into an old identity seems like a step back; where as for Stephanie her days as Batgirl were a definite upgrade from being constantly shoved out the Bat-Family.

I really hope Cassandra is in the next season of Young Justice She really deserves a spotlight considering she's one of the best fighter in DC

Please do a video about bat-family

Cassandra Cain is my personal favorite Batgirl. She's just so badass!

To me Barbra Gordon is the best Batgirl because of her relationship with Batman and Robin also she the daughter of Jim Gordon

Stephanie Brown was my favorite Batgirl. Loved her personality and attitude. =D

Bruce has said pre new 52 that he wants Cassandra to take up the Batman mantle after he's gone which is fantastic imo because unlike Dick or Tim who are terrified at the thought of having to become Batman one day, Cassandra actually wants the role. Not to mention that she is hands down the strongest fighter in the batfamily, no contest

these history of videos are so helpful omg I'm still fairly new to comics and these help so much when trying to learn about characters omgg

Young justice characters are the best ever, even the way they are drawn is so perfect.

Arris, I love your show! It's easily the best comic show on RU-vid and personally one of my favorite channels!

Cassandra is easily my favourite with Stephanie being second. I don't know about everyone else but even though I think Barbara is a good character and I like her just fine I also find that she's overshadowed by the rest of the bat family who are all much more interesting than she is.

I love the history videos that you give us! :)

You should make a history of the super hero groups i.e the avengers, justice league, teen titans, young justice, etc. :)

Barbara was also in Batman Beyond, and I loved her in it!

this video picked up my boring day

Cassandra has always been my favorite.

Barbra Gordon is the best Batgirl

I didnt know there was more than one batgirl🙄. Batman's got a huge family

i love batgirls, they have always been cool and important part of batman family. barbara gordon is the best and i would like to finally see her live action debut

Have to say Barbra Gordian is probably one of my favorite superheroes. To me she is actually one of the most grounded and most realistic heroes, even more then Batman. It's a real shame that DC doesn't want to incorporate more members of the Bat Family into their new live action movies. I would watch a Batgirl movie over Wonder Woman any day.

This video and the in depth explanation is literally perfect. Plethora of information I hope this video makes you tons for the channel because in one video alone you provided more information than entire youtube channels without stretching it out, fluffing it or even inputting your opinions. Straight facts. Thanks a ton!

Cassandra, my favorite Batgirl. I was sad that they always default to Barbara Gordon for New 52 and Arkham games. For New 52, they start the series with all the Robins around, yet only one Batgirl and taking this long to just mention Stephanie Brown.

I love Cassandra Cain!

Batgirl: the darkest reflection is one of my absloute favorite New 52 stories

When it comes to the Batgirl mantle Barbara will always be the most iconic but I always preferred Cassandra because she's the one I grew up with. I personally preferred Barbara as Oracle anyway because that's where she came into her own

Could you please!!!!!! DO a video just focusing on Barbra Gordon since she's also been Oracle pleeeeeeeeassssssssssssee

I can't explain how excited I was to see this in my notifications at work today.

Barbara Gordon/Batgirl is my favourite female character ever.

cassandra cain was the best batgirl

Just as a heads up those Stephanie Brown Batgirl Trades are pricey. Great Batgirl (my favorite) , but they aren't cheap.

Thank you so much arris I love these history of.... Thank you again

My favorite is Cassandra Cain. I was really looking forward to seeing her be permanent.

cassandra cain is my all time favorite batgirl. She is such a bad ass

It should be mentioned that Barbara was retired as Batgirl before her getting shot. DC allowed her to get shot partly because she wasn't active anymore. Her character was rescued by Ostrander and then Dixon to become arguably a better character, Oracle. In the 90s, there where a few flashback issues which further strenghtened her character by showing her to be a bit inexperienced as Batgirl, rhough very driven and smart. The reintroduction of Batgirl through Cassandra in No Mans Land gave the oportunity to hava a very different heroine, that evolved over time and bomded with Barbara. Its a shame they went back to Barbara being Batgirl, because even though she's a great character, it negates a large part of this great evolution. Also, just like with the Robins, instead of evolving from one character to the next, we get all of the characters coexisting under different names, which needlessly crowds the stories and confuses new readers.

Barbra Gordon. As far as im concerned, she's the only Batgirl

see now i want to go and read about cassandra cain.

History of Harley Quinn!

Betty Kane/ Flame-Bird/ Hawk-Fire Barbora Gordan/ Oracle/ Bat-Girl Helena Birtinelli/ Huntress Cassandra Cain/Black Bat Stephanie Brown/ Spoiler Charlotte Gage Radcliffe/ MisFit

Cassadra Cain Batgirl is the Best Batgirl.

I am so so glad Steph is back, even if it's not as Batgirl!

YES I LOVE THESE HISTORY OF. Is Wonder Woman in the process soon enough?

Whenever I watch one of your videos I want to read everything about the characters in question. Well done sir !

Barbra is also my favorite Batgirl. I also have some suggestions for future history of: Black Canary, Huntress, Lady Shiva, Elektra, and Mockingbird.

Awesome stuff I hope this channel never dies, I just get pumped to hear everything comics

History of Martian manhunter

Barbara, Cassandra, and Stephanie are easily my favorites.

Cassandra Cain is my all time favorite Batgirl. I love Barbara to death but I enjoyed her more in the role of Oracle same with Stephanie I've always known her as Spoiler so I thought it was weird seeing her with the Batgirl costume on.

Yes! Thanks for doing the topic I requested videos ago! =) The only Batgirls I knew about were Barbara, Cassandra, and Stephanie.

Cassandra is my favorite batgirl because she's Asian come on not that many Asians are in comics

You should do a history of Green Goblin and Black Panther :) And I'd love to also see a History of X-Factor, X-Force and X-men :) Btw, Cassandra Cain is my fav. Batgirl

36 and thanks for info didn't know about the frist one

Big Hello from Slovakia. Thanks to you and your recommendations, i have read the best stories about my favorite superheroes. So Thank you man. Great Job!

Yes, Barbara Gordon is the best batgirl because if she wasn't then y would they bring her back to the new 52 version, because she is the best

Barbara Gordon is the best. Also one of my favorite comic book characters.

Bat girl origin is such a cluster fuck

“Hello we love comics more than Wolverine hates going through metal detectors” Lmao

if you have skill, pause @ 8:08 & you can see the spider man issue that harry osborn became the green goblin in do you accept the challenge

I used to a Batwoman and a Batgirl figure from the 1960's Deluxe Action Figure Set!!

Wow, I was just, two days ago, looking to see if you had done a history of Batgirl video. Also, because Batman's going to be getting a new Robin sometime soon, I was thinking that a good idea for a video would be your top ten or top five candidates for the new Robin, if you want to.

Wow I didn't know they had so many bst girls. I'm here because I'm just now watching the CW GOTHAM and Barbara Gordon is completely different 🤯

History of all the people who have taken on the batman mantle?

I liked how you touch upon Betty Kane. Yes, she was the first to be called Bat-Girl but was forgotten about once Barbara Gordon came into the scene. Although I prefer and love Batgirl aka Babs, I'm glad that Bette was reintroduced as Flamebird. Pretty clever of George Perez to give her THAT name because of her connection to Dick Grayson and the reason why Betty Kane was created in the first place( as a female version of Robin & to dispel those gay rumors between Bruce & Dick in the late 40s & 1950s). I noticed that after Bette/Flamebird's introduction, none of the DC writers never did a story where Babs meets Bette. I always wanted to see a storyline where Batgirl aka Barbara Gordon & Flamebird team up and Bette tells Babs that she too was a Bat-Girl. Now that would've been a great story.

My favorites are played by Yvonne Craig and Alicia Silverstone!!

Happy birthday to Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl,her birthday is September 23! Blessings and hugs!

Arris I love your videos but can you do more history of for unknown characters like sentry, moonknight, ironfist etc.

Thx Variant! These mini shows have taught me so much stuff I've always wanted to know.

Bruce Wayne is Batman. Dick Grayson is Robin. Barbara Gordon is Batgirl. All others are imposters.

thanks for the upload there is so much batgirl/batman stuff its hard to do a simple google search sometimes

Didn't he miss the one from the bat man super man feature length cartoon ..or was he only talking about comics

aris u are a legend and the show is great, loving the show here in australia

how does he know all of this it is just amazing

You forgot tiffany fox If she existed back when you made the vid

Wait! In 'Batman And Robin' 1997, Batgirl is Alfred's niece! So why isn't she in this video!

Babs is my fav character but I liked her more as Oracle so my fav batgirl is definitely Steph she brings new dynamic to the role

Can you do a history of Speedy/Red Arrow and one of Wally West? Also a history of the entire Batfamily?

Your videos help me understand the comic book world so much better

Hey Arris! Thanks for the video man, it was super awesome and I hope you keep them coming. :)

Cassandra Cain would destroy any other batgirl in a h2h fight, but I will say Barbs is my fav.

I'm a new comer to your channel and I love it, I'm subscriber 690,161!!!!! Thank you Arris & Variant Comics. I love this channel. Long live the comics!!!

can you do a history of Nightwing

Before the First Crisis in the 80's, Barbara was actually around 25-28 years old, Ten years older than Robin (Richard Greyson). I remember reading a comic when she stated this, or something along those lines anyway, also her mentioning having "weird" feeling toward the boy wonder, again something like that. Always found that kind of funny back then, even in his teens, dude had some major game lol.

Cassandra and Barbara are the only that count IMO

I get a notification on my phone whenever you upload a video and always hope its one of these to further extend my knowledge on comic book characters

I miss Cassandra Cain/Wayne. I also miss Oracle.

history of Spawn. the best independent comic book character/series ever

Cassondra BatGirl is my Favorite BatGirl while my favorite Batman is Azriel Batman

Do a history of the Suicide Squad

OMG! I love his Harley Quinn shirt :D

Cassie

Casandra Cain is the second best Batgirl Barbara Gordon is the most popular batgirl but we all know her as Oracle Helena Rosa Bertinelli is better known as Huntress

my only love is Cassandra Cain. the only anti-hero batgirl

Aww I like both Barbara's new52 and original origins and he could've mentioned batgirl beyond too
