Hello, Garak. Sorry to bother you with this, but I wanted to raise something regarding the story you are doing for this version of Batman.
Now that you've shown us Barbara Gordon and her future involvement in the plot, I wanted to suggest a possible situation and facial expression where Barbara tries to help Batman and save her father (if applicable).
I contextualized it for you in the gif at the end (it's from the 2004 Spiderman movie).
Here we see Spiderman trying to save Mary Jane from Doc Ock, but in the process Doc knocks Spiderman down and knocks him out. And Mary Jane, seeing the man she loves in danger, tries to help him and puts on an "I'm going to do something" face.
You could try this determined facial expression on Barbara when Batman tries to rescue her, her father and other victims from the Joker's hands. Batman rescues Barbara, but in the process, he is knocked unconscious by the Joker and is unable to give the antidote or help Commissioner Gordon. Seeing this and knowing that her father doesn't have much time left, Barbara looks at her father and sees his exposed, rock-hard "thing" and knows that if Batman's antidote can't be given to her father in time, she will have to employ "another method" to save him. And this is when she makes that facial expression determined to "do something."
It may sound a little crazy, but it's something that occurred to me in the moment. Of course, the final decision is yours and yours alone. Whatever you do, it will be a great story.
Greetings
