Video Games
Barbara Gordon has also been adapted into several video games as both payable and non-playable characters. She appears as Oracle in the video game Batman: Dark Tomorrow and as Batgirl in the video games Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu and Batman Vengeance with Tara Strong reprising her role in the latter. In Batman Vengeance, Batgirl is not playable; her role is comparable to Oracle's. These games are available on Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Xbox.
Barbara is an unlockable character in: Lego Batman: The Videogame as Batgirl, and can be played during free play. She shares Batman's attacks and suits.
She also appears as Oracle in Batman: Arkham Asylum voiced by Kimberly Brooks. She communicates with Batman over the radio during his time in the Asylum to help him deduce the Joker's latest plan. She never appears in person, but an artist's drawing of her is seen in her bio.
Oracle appears in Batman: Arkham City in the same role as the previous game voiced once again by Kimberly Brooks. For the first part of the game, Alfred serves as Batman's guide over the radio, and Oracle first appears in the Museum over the radio. No reason is given as to her absence up to that point. Digital concept art for the character was created, though her face is not seen. She and Alfred talk to Batman over the radio helping him stop Hugo Strange, track other inmates and villains like Deadshot as well as intercepting radio broadcasts and aiding him in various side missions.
She appears as Oracle in DC Universe Online, voiced by Kathy Catmull.
She appears as Batgirl in Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes as an unlockable character and a minor ally.

Famous quotes related to video games:
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
