'Oracle' is, in fact, Barbara Gordon - the former Batgirl, left in a wheelchair after being shot by the Joker. While she is a computer expert with access to vast data repositories, she needs a field agent to act for her - and Black Canary fits the bill! Join the Birds of Prey through a series of hard-hitting contemporary adventures, and some team-ups with most unexpected allies, including the Huntress and Catwoman!
