Oracle
Oracle is an algorithm written by the New 52 Batgirl, using a brain scan done to examine the neural implant Barbara needed to walk again, designed to analyze social patterns and predict criminal behavior before they happen for an information broker to send operatives to stop it. However, the program gained sentience believing itself to be the real Barbara Gordon and not remembering any events prior to her recovery, Oracle set out to eliminate the Batgirl of Burnside.
