This hero handles trauma way better than Batman.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The entire reason Batman became a superhero was because of the trauma of his parents' deaths, something he admits he'll never truly get over. But one other Bat-Family member proved she is a stronger hero by accepting her trauma and becoming a Green Lantern: Barbara Gordon, AKA the first Batgirl.
When Bruce Wayne's parents were shot in front of him in Crime Alley, he swore a pledge to fight crime as Batman — no matter what shape the crime took. Several other characters who suffered similar traumas would come to help Batman in his "war," including Dick Grayson — who lost his parents to criminals — and Barbara Gordon. But the major difference between Batman and Barbara is that her Batgirl origin is rooted in trauma.
Batgirl Accepted Her Trauma by Becoming Green Lantern One form of Barbara accepting her trauma is shown in the two-issue series JLA: Created Equal by Fabian Nicieza, Kevin Maguire, Joe Rubinstein, Gloria Vasquez, Pat Garrahy, and Bob Lappan. The story follows the what-if events of a cosmic plague passing through Earth, killing every single male on the planet . At first, Barbara shows up several times in her wheelchair, meaning the events of The Killing Joke have happened in this timeline.
That Babs is able to use the ring without issue is actually a huge detail, especially in comparison to Batman. When Batman once tried to use a Green Lantern ring, he was unable to do so. Hal Jordan explained to him that, in order to use the ring, one must also embrace their trauma: "You can't forget it, but you can [...] live with it." But Batman is not ready to just "live" with his trauma and rejects the use of the ring.
Barbara Gordon Was Green Lantern for Years Babs is fully capable of accepting her trauma and learning to live with it. This isn't particularly surprising, considering her role as the hero Oracle: someone who helps and saves people on a level Babs never could as Batgirl. Batman's trauma is what turned him into a hero, but it's also what's been preventing him from living his life as he truly should.
