Batgirl also confirms how much admission she actually has as Oracle inNightwing # 85from writer Tom Taylor and artist Robbi Rodriquez . According to Barbara , her systems allow her admittance to every public security photographic camera in Gotham , include several secret cameras in case of a major emergency brake . Even Seer observe in this matter that this is too much ability for any one someone to have and that it communicates a clamant disregard for privacy , a fact that Batgirl had rationalized away because she was helping hoi polloi . This also falls in line with similar actions Batman himself has taken such as with Brother Eye , while also bringing to mind the sonar engineering science that hacked into every phone in Gotham , which Batman used to cover down the Joker inChristopher ’s Nolan’sThe Dark Knight .
While Batgirl is now realizing that her systematisation was wrong and that she was wielding too much power , is it only because her systems are now being used against her ? Just like Batman , it place upright to reason that she likely would have kept her systems and incursive facial recognition software program as is had it never been compromised . Batman ’s paranoia and struggle to trustanyone has resulted in the formation of all sort of virtuously questionable eventuality plans over the years , and Oracle ’s harebrained stage of accession threaten to make Batgirl a raw heir to that bequest ( which is n’t a good matter ) .
While Batgirl and Nightwing are trying to get to Oracle 2 ( a separate system Babara could use to fight back ) , it turns out that it is a trap set by Seer , who ’s now peril Barbara ’s fellow Batgirls Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain . As a result , Barbara ’s bequest as Oracle has been corrupted and is now jeopardise her bequest asBatgirl . Here ’s hope she and Nightwing can feel a direction to save and furbish up both especially as Oracle runs the hazard of becoming a part ofBatman’slegacy in the bad style potential .
