Batman spoke to Oracle as he transferred the Joker to Arkham Asylum in the Batmobile afterwards foiling his latest scheme. He explained to her the events prior, and stated that the Joker was his 3rd 'big gun' in the last month, following Victor Zsasz and Scarecrow.

As he arrived at the Patient Pacification Sleeping accommodation, Batman contacted Oracle via his communications organisation. He bodacious Barbara that her father was safety. That proved to exist wrong, however, as Frank Boles was secretly in the Joker'due south employ and he clubbed Gordon with a nightstick, kidnapped him, and regrouped with the Joker'southward partner-in-crime, Harley Quinn. Batman informed Barbara of that calamity, merely she remained calm despite her fears. Batman contacted her again, and told her he was going to the office unit where Gordon had been to see if he could selection up a trail. Batman isolated his cowl's vision to observe traces of alcohol left by Boles' flask, allowing Batman to follow him. Batman contacted Oracle again after he saved Arkham guard Henry Smith from a falling elevator that was cut by Harley, and told Barbara that: "Harley Quinn tried to dull me down. Dropped an elevator on me." In answer, Barbara asked if it worked, to which Batman responded to with: "Of course non." Batman besides establish that the Joker's thugs had gotten control of some firearms and shot many of the asylum's guards. Oracle helped Batman use his cowl's vision to detect armed henchmen, which appeared in reddish. The Riddler afterwards used the same "archaic communications organization" that Batman used to contact Oracle to assign him the claiming of solving 240 challenges beyond Arkham Isle.

"

Wild Country? Gordon's favorite tabacoo. Gordon'south smarter than he looks; he's left me a trail to follow. He'south alive, Barbara.

 "

Batman contacts Oracle using a communicator in his cowl.

Upon arriving in Arkham East, Batman contacted Oracle and asked her to shut down the Batmobile's countermeasure arrangement, every bit Harley would probable pass the Batmobile with Gordon and he didn't want to harm the Commissioner. Oracle obliged, disabling the countermeasures. Before long later, Harley and several escaped inmates thrashed the Batmobile with pieces of pipes. Later on Batman arrived in Arkham North and stopped the thugs attacking the Batmobile, he institute Commissioner Gordon'due south piping at the scene and Barbara revealed that she had given it to him every bit a birthday present and that he would never leave information technology. Batman used that slice of information to correctly deduce that Gordon was leaving a trail of tobacco clumps in his wake for Batman to follow. Batman afterward tracked Gordon to the Medical Facility in Arkham Westward. At i betoken, Batman was exposed to Scarecrow's Fear Toxin and began to hallucinate.

Batman eventually detonated explosives under the footing as Killer Croc lunged for him, which dropped the villain into the Gotham River below. Afterward the Joker's defeat, Barbara chosen her father upward as the GCPD retook control of Arkham Island. He told her that doctors were treating the injured and that most of the inmates were back in custody. Gordon also informed his daughter that the Joker'southward men were recovering from the furnishings of the Titan drug the Joker had injected them with. Barbara asked how he was, and Gordon told her merely: "I'll survive." He promised to meet her later that night.

Arkham City Incident

Oracle's dialogue with Batman was slightly reduced in this game, the beginning half of the game upwardly to Penguin'south Dominate Fight taken up by Alfred.

"

Don't permit... her get in the style.

— Oracle'southward advice to Batman nigh getting Ra'due south blood

 "

Subsequently, she detected that the tower was going to self-destruct and shouted at Batman to "Go OUT OF THERE!". Batman managed to receive her warning in time, and once he fabricated it to the ground, he informed Oracle that Ra's was the power backside Arkham City.

Subsequently, she got on the line with Batman, who required the location of a lost patrol car. That led to Batman chasing downwards a rogue Militia vehicle, in which he got an uncontaminated sample of Fright Toxin from the commuter. Oracle then ran an assay of the compound while Batman investigated Scarecrow's potential hideout.

Later Batman got Poison Ivy to the GCPD Lockup, Oracle invited him to the Clock Belfry. Past the fourth dimension she arrived, Batman examined the outline of the Fear Toxin's core elements. Sadly, Barbara admitted that there's nothing to trace. However, Batman suggested that instead of tracking the Fear Toxin, that they rail the manufacturing process.

Robin offered to help track downward Scarecrow, but Batman ordered him to remain focused on his own task of curing Joker'due south affliction, despite Oracle'due south efforts to back him up. After the antennae were set, Batman managed to pinpoint Scarecrow's location at Ace Chemicals. However, Batman arrived to discover that an entire ground forces occupied the chemical plant, and that their enigmatic leader wore the Arkham symbol. Oracle drew upward intel from a black ops team that operated in Venezuela, discovered a training facility that used the Arkham symbol, and discovered that their leader was only known every bit the Arkham Knight.

Barbara tried to convince Batman not be so hard on him, but he told her not to allow her romantic feelings for Robin to deject her sentence, much to her chagrin. But when the villain revealed that he was aware of Oracle'southward status, Batman attempted to warn her to flee.

 "

Scarecrow later stirred Barbara from unconsciousness and tried to get information from her. He threatened to apply the Fear Toxin, just the Arkham Knight intervened and stopped him. Left lonely with the mysterious militia leader, Barbara tried to stall for time until Batman could notice her, but the Arkham Knight attempted to plant doubt in her heed that the Dark Knight would cull the mission over his protege. When Barbara refused to believe him, the Arkham Knight removed his helmet and said "Look me in the eye and say that", revealing himself to exist the presumed-dead Jason Todd, the second Robin, to her daze.

 "

Later she secured a connection, Oracle found that most of the data was corrupted, shortly before Scarecrow's remaining forces assaulted the GCPD and cut power to the building. Barbara aided Batman in the counterattack, first by directing him to the backup generator and then he could go the Batmobile out the garage doors, earlier finding a weakness in the tank drones' network that she could exploit. One time all the drones were destroyed, a squad of Militia landed on the roof, and attempted to admission the elevator. Oracle aided Batman in dispatching the attackers past using the steam pipes and electronics on the roof.

Despite the relief, Barbara detected her male parent'southward voiceprint being used at Panessa Studios, where Batman had kept iv patients infected with Joker's blood.

Oracle assisted Robin on the comms during the incident, either complimenting, telling him to focus, or reminding him that he didn't demand to be every bit good as Batman was, and that he should do things at his own pace. After Robin fought 2-Face up's Gang, he was attacked and shot in the foot past Two-Face and was nigh to be killed, just he managed to take down the villain while he was distracted past his money. Afterwards, Tim and Barbara decided that they could continue their honeymoon another time, and returned to criminal offence-fighting.

Personality

Barbara was 1 of the few people who saw the need for Batman in Gotham. She held a monumental respect for the vigilante, fifty-fifty casually helping him during his suspension-in at GCPD by directing him access to the GCPD mainframe.

She manifestly hated lying to her begetter as he blames himself for Barbara's paraplegia and is at constant fright of, if anyone found out about her identity, he would exist in danger. Nevertheless, Barbara has been shown to have a playful and lighthearted side, equally her demeanour is occasionally easygoing, and would sometimes make humorous and sarcastic wisecracks when defeating an enemy, or to lighten the mood. Much like Batman, Barbara is a very clever and insightful individual, for example, she deliberately caused the Arkham Knight'due south armored vehicle to crash, just to complimentary herself and leave a scrambler filled with data for Batman to sign.

Her own sense of justice prevails her own inabilities. Subsequently losing the use of her legs, and being unable to be Batgirl anymore, she continues to assist Batman by acting equally his information relayer and hacker, at present going past the codename Oracle. She is too on good terms with most of the Bat Family unit including Alfred Pennyworth, Dick Grayson, and Jason Todd. She fifty-fifty formed a romantic relationship with Tim Drake.
