| Storyline |
Barbara
was spending the night riding the beat in a squad car
when a 420 occurred nearby. Her car responded. The two
officers, fearing her father's wrath, ordered her to
stay inside. They took down the suspects and Barbara
bashed another trying to escape with the car door. Back
at the commissioner's office, she heard of a possible
Joker attack. At the scene, Gordon ordered two officers
to escort his daughter away - the place had been bombed.
Barbara got into costume and headed out on a tip off
as to where the Joker might strike next: the Barbieri
home. From the trees across the street, she helped two
cops take down possible intruders and burst into the
home. The owner, thinking she was the criminal, attacked
her. She was freed when the Joker's goon put a gun to
his wife's head. Batgirl took down the henchman, but
Joker came in, shot the owners, and disabled Batgirl.
She woke up somewhere in a basement with the Barbieri's
kid, who'd seen the whole thing. She was able to get
the kid to safety, but ran straight into the arms of
the Joker doing so.
He strapped her to a wheel and began throwing knives
at her as Batman arrived. She freed herself while Joker
went after the real prize. Batman took a bullet to the
cowl; Batgirl kept Joker occupied until the cops arrived.
Gordon got Batman to the Thompkins Clinic.
