The modern TV era :: Batgirl

A new animated series titled "The Batman" ran from 2004 to 2008. Because initially there was also a Teen Titans animated series running, the character of Robin was off limits and not allowed to appear in "The Batman" (until 2007). So, by the third season (2005-2006) Barbara Gordon was introduced and so was the newest version of Batgirl as Batman's original partner. The following is a description of the character:

"Batgirl, real name Barbara Gordon, the teenage daughter of Gotham's Commissioner Gordon, is a strong-willed, stubborn teen with an ironic wit. Inspired by her first contact with The Batman, she dons the cape and cowl to become Batgirl to help save her father from the hands of former friend and now villain - Poison Ivy".

In this animated series, Barbara also appears in an special episode placed in the future in her Oracle persona.

And if no one noticed... this is the first time in "Chicas de Rojo" that the character of Oracle is ever mentioned.

The modern TV era :: Hawkgirl

After the Thanagarian invasion and the revelation that Hawkgirl was in fact a spy, the winged wonder left the Justice League rather than being kicked out by her former teammates. This seemed to be the end of Shayera's story with the Justice League...

But then came Justice League Unlimited. When Salomon Grundy resurrected and was wreaking havok, Hawkgirl returned and was the only one who could stop him. She was ashamed for the part she played in the invasion, but despite this, she was welcomed again in the team's ranks.

No longer wearing her thanagarian police uniform but a jumpsuit, and going simply by "Shayera", the winged wonder returned to the Justice League Unlimited. This proves that it is not the title of Hawkgirl, or the helmet, it is the warrior inside who is an ass kicker...Yeah! - Hear that Kendra? -
