With Barbara Gordon playing an integral role in Rocksteady Studios' Arkham gaming trilogy as Oracle, she'll now get her turn in the cape and cowl as Batgirl, in a brand new downloadable story expansion for Arkham Knight, and Entertainment Weekly have revealed a first look at the character in action.
Set before the events of the first game in the franchise, Batgirl: A Matter of Family sees the heroine team up with Robin to save her father Commissioner Gordon, who's been kidnapped and threatened by the Joker.
Taking place in an entirely new area called the Seagate Amusement Park, the Joker has rigged the nautical theme park on top of an oil rig to become a massive death trap.
Design producer Justin Vazquez said: "We wanted to recreate the feeling of being trapped in a bizarre and unique open environment playing a game of cat and mouse with the Joker."
Using her hacking abilities to take down enemies and solve puzzles, Batgirl's combat style is a combination of her own expertise mixed in with the Dark Knight's brawn.
"Hacking is really what separates her from the other characters. It's a gameplay mechanic with which the player can create situations for Batgirl to really shine.
"Our intention was that Batgirl should be less powerful than Batman, but that Batgirl plus hacking could give her opportunities [to] do things that not even Batman can pull off."
The expansion will allow the player to switch characters at the press of a button, and culminates in an epic showdown between Batgirl and Robin against the Joker and Harley Quinn.
Vazquez continues: "Seeing these four iconic characters together at the same time will be a real thrill."
This first DLC will also feature side quests, Joker collectibles and Easter eggs for hardcore fans of the DC Comics universe.
Batgirl: A Matter of Family launches July 14 for Arkham Knight DLC season pass holders, and can be purchased separately from July 21.
