''Batgirl'', a Creator/DCComics monthly series published from 2000-2006, was the first ongoing series to star the character ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}, who had existed in the comics continuity since 1967. The starring character was Cassandra Cain, the [[LegacyCharacter second woman to hold the Batgirl mantle]], which she assumed in the BatFamilyCrossover ''ComicBook/BatmanNoMansLand''.[[note]]It should be mentioned that the unofficial second Batgirl (Helena Bertinelli, AKA ComicBook/{{Huntress}}) only had that identity for ''No Man's Land'', and [[TheRealRemingtonSteele Cassandra may have been created simply to have someone wearing the second Batgirl's costume.]] According to Scott Peterson, who came up with the basic concept for Cassandra, he was told by his boss, after ComicBook/{{Oracle}} was established, "Create a new Batgirl. Or I will."[[/note]]

When her father had her commit her first murder ([[HarmfulToMinors at the age of six]]), she read the victim's dying spasms and understood the horror of killing, and ran away. She wound up in Gotham during the "No Man's Land", when the city had been damaged by an earthquake and formally severed from support or authority of the United States government, and received tutoring and care from ComicBook/{{Oracle}} (Barbara Gordon), who had been the ''first'' Batgirl before she was crippled. When they learned of her history, Oracle and Batman adopted her into the Bat-Family and gave her a costume as Batgirl.
