Bruce, however, figures out immediately that "Batgirl" is Barbara Gordon for a good number of reasons: her hair color and voice are the same, and they move with a gymnastics style while fighting.

** Jim tells Barbara that she could easily have been caught by the fertilizer chemicals due to her and Pamela's recklessness.
** Later on Barbara freaks out when her father gets kidnapped and dons the cowl again to save him. Batman later lets her off the hook since not every kid gets the chance to save their father, likely remembering his childhood.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Batman overall acts this way towards Barbara. When she turns on the Bat-Signal, he tells her that it's not a toy but he becomes serious when Barbara says that Pamela showed up in her room all hopped up on Chlorogene chemicals, taking the sample flower that she provides him. Batman refuses to let Barbara come with him to stop Poison Ivy because it's dangerous but promises her in SincerityMode that he'll do all he can to save Pamela from herself. When she proves herself incapacitating Poison Ivy, snapping Batman out of a brainwashed spell, and rescuing her father, Batman says that he won't tell her father for now.
