Batgirl is the second DLC Character in Injustice: Gods Among Us. She is a Gadget User. She can be purchased for the price of $4.99 (or for free if you have the season pass). She was released for purchase on May 21st along with a couple of skin packs.
Biography
The First Batgirl to take the mantle Batgirl is Barbara Gordon, a confident young woman as committed to justice as her father, Gotham City’s top cop, Commissioner Gordon. But when her overprotective dad forbids her from joining the force, her admiration of Batman leads her to rebel the way crime-fighting rebels do in Gotham City: by picking up the mantle of the Bat. An exceptional fighter and detective, Batgirl is also unparalleled in her computer skills. With a Utility Belt filled with Batarangs and her own Batcycle to speed her across the city, she pursues justice regardless of whether others—including Batman—wish her to. But Gotham’s criminals are a ruthless and maniacal lot, and every moment she risks her neck means dancing closer to death. During the Batman comic series The Killing Joke, Batgirl was shot by Joker right in front of her father, Comissioner Gordon. After this incident, Barbara was confined to a wheelchair and took up the mantle Oracle, a computer genius who would aid Batman up-to-date information during his missions. She has recently returned to her role as Batgirl after years of being paralyzed.
The playable version of the character, from the One Earth dimension, seems to have started her career as the tech wizard Oracle, eluding detection from the Regime. However, upon the death of her father at the Regime's hands, she decided to take revenge and created the Batgirl persona in order to attack the High Councillor herself.

Ending
Not all heroes were destroyed by Superman; some were actually created by him. A technology wizard, Barbara Gordon had eluded detection by One Earth intelligence, feeding information to the insurgency under the code name "Oracle". But after the regime's murder of her father, Gotham Police Commissioner James Gordon, Barbara channeled her anger into a new alter-ego. Sensing the right opportunity to strike, she attacked Superman directly. By defeating the High Councillor, she had announced Batgirl to the world in an impressive fashion.

Trivia
- Batgirl was a leaked DLC character for the first season pass along with General Zod and Scorpion (from the Mortal Kombat series).
- Batgirl is voiced by Kimberly Brooks, who previously portrayed Oracle, Batgirl's alternate persona while she was in a wheelchair, in Batman: Arkham Asylum and its sequel, Batman: Arkham City.
- Though Barbara Gordon is Batgirl in the console version of the game, she appears as Oracle in the IOS version as a support card for Batman, however, as her arcade ending reveals that this is the One Earth version of Barbara, who created the Batgirl persona after serving as Oracle. It's possible that her main dimension counterpart is still Oracle, as presented in the IOS version.
- Batgirl sometimes refers to Nightwing as "babe" whilst fighting him. This is a reference to their romantic relationship in the comics.
- Batgirl's super move is the only one in the game that has to be activated while airborne, though she is not the first member of the cast to be able to hit someone with his/her super move while airborne. Solomon Grundy is the first.
