Batgirl

Few characters capture the electric energy of Gotham's street-level heroism quite like this Batgirl, who swung onto the Modern Age scene in The Brave and the Bold #24 in 2009, courtesy of creators Matt Wayne and Howard Porter. Over a remarkable run stretching all the way to 2026, she's carved out a place across some of DC's most beloved titles — Batgirl, Batgirls, and Detective Comics — racking up 112 catalog appearances and at least one collector-significant key issue along the way. She shares her pages with some of Gotham's finest, including Batman, Robin, Oracle, and Barbara Gordon herself, placing her squarely at the heart of the Batman family's world. With nearly two decades of continuity behind her, she's a Modern Age figure well worth tracking down for any serious DC devotee.
