Find out who this person claiming to be Oracle is in Batgirl & The Birds Of Prey #5!

Oracle was an integral part of the original Birds of Prey. Barbara Gordon was really the brains of the outfit, providing plenty of vital strategy and technical info to Black Canary & Huntress that was vital to their success as a crime fighting unit.

But Barbara Gordon was able to become Batgirl once again, so she left the identity of Oracle behind. By this point the Birds of Prey had went their own separate ways anyways. They’ve come back together because they face a common foe, someone else also calling themselves Oracle. Who is this mysterious person that seems to know these heroes inside and out? What is their goal? Well, we get the answer to at least one of those questions in Batgirl & The Birds Of Prey #5, check out a synopsis & preview gallery below!
