okay, we all know in the animated continuity, barbs is jim gordon's daughter. In the old 60s show, she was his daughter as well. we dont need to even mention what she was in that horrible movie who's name i wont even mention. And in the comics she is jim gordons....niece? correct?

okay, so what exactly is she in the comics, jims brother or sisters daughter? And i also have a question...i was flipping through the "no man's land" tpb and (spoilers ahead) got to the part where the joker shoots jim's wife and has all those babys hostage. The commish goes on to say things like "first he paralized my barbara, my little girl, my baby" or something like that. so, whats the deal? niece indeed!? can someone clear up this mess for those of us who arent in the know. and while we're at is, whats your favorite relation? i like babs as the commish's daughter ala btas/tnba/bb. what about you. thanks for the info. peace.

The way I understand it in current comic continuity while Jim's brother is Barbara's father by birth, Jim adopted Barbara. So technically she's both his daughter and his niece.
