I always liked her in the animated series, and in Batman Beyond, too--she's taken over as police commissioner from her father and she's a great Tough Old Broad. Barbara Gordon: Bat-librarian!

I recall feeling there were few genuine options of live-action heroines at that time in my life, so Batgirl was a revelation. I saw an intellegent young woman who wanted to do good, who had Batman's respect, (even if it was the Adam West Batman), and who seemed to be the one with the most physical prowess, out of the "Triumphant Trio." (I also always really liked how, on the T.V. show, her red hair was a wig I thought that was so clever! I mean, while the villains are looking closely at every woman with long red hair, you could be walking right next to them in your short brunette locks!) Though the animated series didn't always uphold the image I had of Batgirl, I still loved her and thought she was awesome. (I know I have that Batgirl Barbie SOMEWHERE...) In other words, GREAT piece on Batgirl! She'll always be THE original "Danger Gal" to me, though, so I'll admit to a bias!
