And now, if you've ever felt cowed by the sheer amount of history there is in comics, you have it summarized! In entertaining adorable comic form! In-comic comic written by the particularly awesome Stephanie Brown (the current Batgirl. The second trade of her series came out today! Convenient!). Who is unsinkable. And generally amazing.
Missing from this, of note, is Cassandra Cain, the previous Batgirl. One of the deadliest fighters in the DCU! Who is awesome. Also this.. Also awesome.
Receiving honourable mention is Huntress! She had a brief stint as Batgirl, so it fits. She's a teacher by day and a bad ass vigilante by night. Misfit would get honourable mention too, but I am enabling someone privately for her. ;)
There are lots of easy to get trades out for all of these lovely, ass kicking ladies! And a few of them have been in the animated shows too, trufax (well Babs and Huntress have been). I can also provide issues scans if you want some quick reading to see if you'd like to see more. c:
Now that you've seen way more Batgirl in a day than you wanted to...
Of course, being comics it'd have to be a crash course to learn new characters by the end of app period, sob.

But I apparently decided to make this post Batgirl-centric. Now with cheesy 60's theme music!

And, now that I've shown off those two, there is no avoiding mentioning the original. Barbara used to be Batgirl but now is Oracle, infojock supreme. Who kicks literal ass as well as figurative.
