Batgirl

By day, she is a quiet librarian from Gotham City Libraries,

She is the warm-hearted daughter of commissioner James Gordon,

Her identity - Barbara Gordon, educated in library science,

But beneath it all she has dark secrets, ones no-one should know.

After the sun sets, hidden in the darkness that falls upon the city,

Appears a mysterious woman in a skin-tight costume - clinging to her curves,

Her cape resembles the wings of a bat, like the one she wears upon her chest,

Her beautiful eyes and stunning features, her identity - hidden behind a mask.

She prowls the shady streets of Gotham, the playground of formidable foes,

Becoming one of crime's worthy opponents- who fights like a woman scorned,

Clawing, kicking, fighting - she battles for humanities justice,

Using fear to overcome the likes of the Joker, the Riddler, and the Penguin.

She stands for liberty, justice and will serve and protect helping the law,

Standing strong yet feminine, as she transforms into the gorgeous heroine,

Going above and beyond the shadows of the night - when she takes to the skies,

Yes - in time the face behind her mask may change, but whomever - she will always be Batgirl....

well happy women's month to every woman, batgirl simplifies the empowerment of being a woman and normally will take a chauvinist male a long time to understand or maybe not at all. but thanks Ghost for this poem and bat girl even if she is just a secondary character to Batman and Robin still there exudes a strong character inside.

Thank you for the recognition of this poem, see I am a superhero nerd... But i think Batgirl is as important as Batman or Robin..

[sette]

thank you for that you are not the only one who is a superhero nerd, I also belong to that category but my favorites are those in the Marvel Avengers particularly Iron Man.

Well in that case I think Black Widow doesn't get much glory as say Ironman, Thor, Hulk, or Captin America... She is an interesting superhero as well..

yes but the truth is i don't like her at all although the team will not be complete without her
