* Happens in the the current Batgirl (2011) comic book series. Since [[CosmicRetcon in the new continuity]] the paraplegic Barbara Gordon [[IGotBetter had a complete recovery over a three years period]], when she gets a gun pointed at, at the exact spot where she had been shot by the Joker, in the first issue Batgirl froze in terror and could not prevent the bad guy from killing the man he was there to kill. Actually, the sheer risk of accumulating new, unhealable spinal damage seems to lock Barbara into an instant HeroicBSOD.
