 Ok, Batman getting the works done, why in the world is Barbara not in that same tower with him? |

The writers decided they wanted Barbara Gordon to be in a wheelchair, so she's incurable because....Hypertime?
I find the best way to settle any problem with a comic is just blame Hypertime.

Because everybody agrees that she's a way more interesting character as Oracle than she ever was as Batgirl.

Because comic book writers are by and large when it comes to their work, jerks.

People die and return to life all the time and Barbara Gordon is still in that damn wheelchair.
She really should just off herself, she'd be in peak health like 5 panels later.

The same reason Daredevil is still blind, Professor X and Dr. Niles Caulder were almost always in a wheelchair, Freddy Freeman had a spinal injury, and Echo was deaf, it was to show that the character was still capable despite their disables‘.

She got shot in the spine.
You don't have to be all insensitive bringing it up like that.

I'm sure she can still gps while sitting in a chair. Her spine doesn't have to be dead for her to be the Oracle |

If he's such a good detective, why don't the motherf***er know that Bruce Wayne is Batman?

I admit that I'm not familiar with this storyline so I'm not sure if Gordan knows Batman's identity, but if he is a good enough detective to know that Barbara is Batgirl because she snuck out with Dick Grayson, how could he not know that Bruce Wayne is Batman? Of course, Wayne may not even be Batman in this story or if Dick Grayson was an orphan adopted by Wayne... oh comic books, your millions of storylines keep me nice and confused.

Eh, it's been strongly implied at various times that Commissioner Gordon knows who Batman is. Batman: Year One hinted at it pretty strongly, as I recall.

Batman: TAS episode, it doesn't take long for Jim Gordon to call all cars on Wayne Manor. It was heavily implied he always figured Bruce Wayne was Batman, but since he was such a boon to the city he looked the other way. |

I thought they recently fixed that. Hrm. They did, the New 52 had her get comic book surgery to fix the damage. She was still in the wheelchair for a time though... how long is hard to say due to the odd timescale of the new 52. The writer of Batgirl, Gail Simone stated she thinks Gordon knows all of their identities (at the very least Batgirl's) but doesn't want to believe it. |

She wanted to be in the wheelchair to show she's a strong independent woman. New 52 done changed all that and Gail Simone's yet to give a reason beyond LolDCwantedhertowalkbutIain'tsayinghow.
As or Jimmy not knowing who Batman is. It's been said he knows and other times it's said he just doesn't care to know or else he'd be forced to go after them for realzie.

It was mentioned somewhere about some kind of magic surgery... very briefly in one of the issues. |
