Reboot Idea 17

"Birds of Prey"

Years ago, Barbara Gordon was attacked inside her father's, Commissioner Jim Gordon, home by the Joker in an attempt to warp her father's mind, leading to Barbara being shot through the spine with a bullet. Joker had no idea, but his action also caused the end of Barbara's career as Batgirl. Since the attack, Barbara has become a watchdog for the hero community, acting as a hacker known as the all knowing, all seeing Oracle.

Then the Crisis arrived, and during the madness, Batman's nemesis Ras Al Ghul tried to trick him into joining his side by offering 'gifts' via his Lazarus Pit. Ras not only brought Batman's former sidekick, Jason Todd, back from the dead, but he also kidnapped and forced Barbara into the pit, causing her injuries to be healed, and giving her the ability to walk again.

While Ras was defeated and the Lazarus Pit (which effects slowly have been recorded to break down the mind due to excessive usage) was plugged forever, Barbara was suddenly left with a new decision to make. Eventually, the call of action was too tempting, and she once again re-donned her identity as Batgirl.

Soon after her return, Batgirl was approached by the young hero known as Raven, telling her that she has 'been summoned'. When asking who summoned her, Barbara was shocked to discover that she was summoned by Oracle. In an attempt to figure out this mystery, Batgirl agrees, but is even more surprised by what she discovers.

Whoever this new Oracle is, she has put together a team of female heroes (behind the backs of Bruce Wayne and CHECKMATE) as a means to stop metahuman threats and evil corporations other heroes are afraid or unable to get involved with.

Operating from a clocktower in the heart of Gotham City, the team consists of Raven, The Huntress, Lady Blackhawk, Vixen, Dove, Hawkgirl, and team leader Black Canary.

Barbara still has no idea who Oracle is, but she is working on it. In the meantime, she offers her assistance to the team, and soon becomes proud to be a Bird of Prey.
