Character: Barbara Gordon / Oracle

For years, Barbara Gordon fought crime in a cape and mask as Batgirl, sidekick to Gotham City’s caped crusader. After a bullet from the Joker’s gun left her paralyzed, she now fights from behind a computer desk, having focused on becoming a master of cybernetics and weaponry. The technological guru, now self-dubbed ‘Oracle’, has pushed even harder than before for motivation to be a heroine in the dark city, and has taken up residence in the Clocktower to help train her young protogees, Helena Kyle and Dinah Lance.

Already a favorite among science-fiction fans, Dina Meyer comes to The WB as Barbara Gordon and her alter-ego, Oracle, in the new action-adventure series "Birds of Prey."

Born and raised in Queens, N.Y., Meyer studied dance throughout her childhood and loved performing on stage in dance recitals. She knew she wanted to act from an early age and was even accepted into New York’s High School of Performing Arts, but her parents convinced her to follow a more traditional academic path. She majored in Business Administration and minored in French at Long Island University and attended the Sorbonne in Paris. After graduation, however, she decided to pursue her acting again and studied under Ron Stetson.

Meyer currently resides in Santa Monica. A fitness enthusiast, she enjoys rollerblading, snowboarding and doing Pilates.
