Rocksteady Games has revealed the identity of Batgirl in their upcoming Batgirl: A Matter of Family content, which will be part of the season pass for the Batman: Arkham Knight.
As was announced earlier this week, players will be able to play as Batgirl on the prequel story, which raised a few questions on whether this Batgirl was to be Barbara Gordon, adopted daughter of Commissioner Gordon or Cassie Cain, daughter of league of Assassin’s member David Cain.
Batman Arkham Knight Game Director Sefton Hill has confirmed on Twitter who it is.
Hill confirmed Batgirl will indeed be Barbara Gordon, which has led to a frenzy of speculation about what will happen in the DLC. As I have previously suggested, if the prequel DLC was to adapt the Killing Joke, as the story for the Batgirl content, it will in my opinion elevate both the particular content as well as the Batman Arkham Knight package to some seriously high ground. Not saying of course that Arkham Knight by itself won’t be worthy of the praise. The Killing Joke however is certainly the most highly regarded Batgirl story, and one of the most acclaimed in the Batman universe, so having such an influential back story would be the perfect sendoff for the Arkham trilogy. Even Mark Hamill himself offered to come back to reprise his role as the Joker, if The Killing Joke was to be adapted.
