Stop me if you've heard this one— Knock, knock... …Who’s there? Why, it’s none other than the Clown Prince of Crime himself, the Joker. As the Joker War wreaks havoc all over Gotham, the Joker almost has control of Wayne Enterprises, and Batgirl has something he needs…So the Joker makes a special visit to Barbara Gordon’s apartment to get it himself. Then, a mysterious murderer is running around Gotham killing redheaded women and dressing them up as Batgirl. Both Barbara’s father, Jim Gordon, and her estranged brother, James Gordon Jr., think she’s next, and they have to work together to find the killer before Barbara becomes a victim! Barbara has trouble trusting her brother, though, after the history he has with the rest of the Gordon family…But this time, she can’t help but notice there’s something different about him…almost like he’s someone else…

Barbara Gordon is a bright and eager young woman who has already achieved much in her life, but struggles to find her true calling. After graduating college in her teens, Barbara hopes to follow in her father’s footsteps and serve as a dedicated officer of the law, but her plans are derailed by her father’s overprotectiveness and society’s prejudices. This leads Barbara to seize a different path toward her goal and adopt the vigilante persona of Batgirl. As she learns the ropes of the vigilante lifestyle, she finds herself thrown into conflict with Batman and the crosshairs of aspiring super-villains.
