The Lore of Earth J

Universe One (Batgirl Admin Recollection):

We open with Batman, the 3 Jokers, Nightwing, Donald and Batgirl.

These were some of the wilder days of the server so-- well... here we go.

3 Jokers

We had three Jokers and there was a massive plot to destroy Gotham City (as the Jokers do.) Part of this included blowing up the bridges of Gotham. Melius (Donald) and Batgirl were at one bridge as it exploded, they worked together to get to the clock tower and became fast friends.

After finding the correct Joker to bring in, the Batman was led to the old Clocktower. There he and the Joker fought, Batgirl tried to step in but was ultimately out of her comfort zone as she watched Batman beat the pulp out of the Joker.

Saiko

After this, we got a more active Nightwing. Dick was trying to reconnect with Babs after being gone from Gotham for a while. She agreed to see him and keep things casual, a shared Chinese take out meal shared here and there. About these times Saiko came into the picture. Jealous of the success Richard Grayson had, Saiko sought to rip that away from him. He did this by using drugs to mind control Babs and convince him to marry him at the old Gotham Cathedral in order to bait Nightwing out. Nightwing and Saiko had an all-out brawl as Babs lay in a casket unconscious from the drugs Saiko had given her. Dick breaks the drugs by a kiss because-- well we never really explained it but that's what happened.

After this the server was a little slow so the admins at the time brought in Bane...who was OP AF

Beefy OP Bane

Beefy OP Bane came to the scene and honestly decimated Gotham's streets like, there wasn't a channel that wasn't titled "xyz-ruins" for a while. This is where a lot of the lore gets even fuzzier to me because I became pretty uninterested and ended up leaving the server for a while at the end. HERE. WE. GO.

Beefy OP Bane was pretty much untouchable and was trying to be a Bane from the Nolanverse but with no seeable weak points and the admin kind of god modded a bit to be honest. Basically what happened is that Bane broke Batman, killed Dick and inevitably kidnapped Babs to take her back to his village (What). Babs tried to get Dick to a lazurus pit but Batman, and Huntress stood in her way. Dick was eventually put into a Lazurus pit to try to revive him but he was gone for too long to emerge quickly. When he did remerge (new rper!Donald) he was very different and the romance between Babs and Dick died. After this Babs went back to fight Bane with the new Nightwing. Distraught by the fact that the old Dick was gone and wasnt coming back, she sacrificed herself as a pawn to Bane and he kidnapped her after crushing her mask and revealing her identity. I didnt last much longer after this and left the server soon after.

Rebirth: New Server Emerges

I was coaxed into coming back to the server and it's changed for the better. Briefly Babs had a rebirth period of a newbie Batgirl (I think I had her at 16 first) in a world with a 27-year-old Dick Grayson who was more of a mentor than anything else. Batgirl successfully swung her way into the bat family and participated in such situations as literally being a "catblock" to Batman as he was trying to apprehend Catwoman at the Gotham Mall. Around this time OP Talon came into the picture, played by the same guy as Beefy OP Bane. Dick Grayson, Babs, and Commissioner Gordon all tried to fight of OP Talon and eventually, the rp fizzled out because the server began to enforce it's 18+ guideline it had had since pretty much the start, and the OP Talon was kicked from the server.

Batgirl, Dollhouse, and the Spook-DOokie- Scarecrow

This is the final chapter of the Universe 1 Batgirl story.

Batgirl was aged up as we got another new Nightwing(MJ). Here she is cast at about 22 years old to match the new interpretation of Nightwing. The most significant things to happen here is Dollhouse and Scarecrow as well as a strained relationship with Dick Grayson.

Fearless and cocky Batgirl teams up with Nightwing to chase down Dollhouse after she had butchered and sewn together with live victims and left them in the sewer. An encounter with Dollhouse in the sewer left Dick badly wounded and Batgirl unconscious after she pushed Nightwing out of the way of Dollhouse's needle. She was taken to Dollhouse's lair where she was tortured until Nightwing came to rescue her. After taking her back to the cave, Barbara realized she wasnt cut out to wear the cowl. Because of this, she left a note for Bruce on the table which wasnt discovered until days later that she quit.

Barbara went home to her childhood home and passed out due to infections from her cuts on her body including "DH" on her abdomen. Gordon found her and rushed her to the ER. Luckily, the Gordon's are basically celebrities in Gotham and the news decided to do a story on the Commissioner's daughter in the hospital. Johnathan Crane found out and decided he would test out his newest concoction on Babs.

This led Babs to fight Dream Dollhouse and lose. Distraught she had lost again to Dollhouse, Barbara went on the hunt to find Crane and get more toxins in order to fight Dream Dollhouse again. After a quick run-in with the Joker on a float where she made a mockery of him and quick run-in with a concerned Nightwing, Batgirl found Crane in the sewers. He took her back to his lab where he proceeded to experiment on her...and the "spooky-do". During the experimentations Babs confronted Dream Dollhouse and killed her.

Nightwing came to rescue Babs but, it didnt go so well for them. Dick was knocked out with toxins and Babs was handcuffed to the dresser. Batman came in and saved them both. Babs went through bad withdrawals from the toxins and said some pretty horrific things to Nightwing which caused their romatic relationship to have the braked pumped on it.
