1!!Batgirl I - Barbara Gordon
2* In ''Comicbook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths #4'', Barbara is frightened of dying for real this time, so she calls her best friend ''[[Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]]'' and confides her fears to her. Supergirl right away tells her she doesn't need super-powers to be a hero.
3-->'''Supergirl:''' Batgirl -- you called me?\
4'''Batgirl:''' The city... it's so empty. Mostly everyone is staying inside... with their loved ones... awaiting the end. I -- I think this time it's really coming.\
5'''Supergirl:''' I know the feeling. And you're right -- hardly anyone's outside. Not even the criminals. But there must be a way to stop whatever's out there. I'm not ready to give in so easily.\
6'''Batgirl:''' Supergirl... Linda -- I've faced death so often because I never truly believed I would die. But now -- Now I feel so useless, so helpless, so worthless -- and so very, very scared.\
7'''Supergirl:''' Everyone is, Barbara. I've spoken to Superman and the Titans -- They say Flash may have died. And other heroes... some villains, too -- have disappeared. I'm scared, too -- but I can't let that stop me from doing what I have to.\
8'''Batgirl:''' Easy for you to say. Look at your powers, I-I'm nothing. I-I don't think I was ever cut out for playing hero.\
9'''Supergirl:''' Barbara, there are thousands of people out there -- without powers like mine... the police, firemen, soldiers -- They're all ordinary people trying their best to keep this world from falling apart before its time.
10* In the ''[[http://comicboxcommentary.blogspot.com.es/2008/12/review-dc-universe-holiday-special-1.html DC Universe Holiday Special 2008: A Day Without Sirens]]'', a "Day Without Sirens" is proposed right before Christmas. Commissioner Gordon believes such an initiative is doomed to failure. The criminals of Gotham would never heed such a calling. However, the day proceeds without police sirens. [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pScx8BN4h3s/SU-kKYaVUmI/AAAAAAAACGc/LKdSPl0ht34/s1600-h/holiday-09.jpg It turns out that Oracle and Supergirl handled covertly all emergency calls during that day]].
11-->'''Oracle:''' Just rest easy knowing you did something special today.\
12'''Supergirl:''' You really think so? Do you think this one day is going to make a difference?\
13'''Oracle:''' I know so. Never discount the healing power of a little hope, Kara.
