Our Verdict
Batgirl is the best stealth character in the game, period. Her expert hacking goes beyond Robin’s capabilities, and her smoke pellets make clearing rooms without detection almost too easy. The trade-off is that she struggles in direct confrontations — if you’re spotted, you’ll want to reposition rather than fight. For stealth-focused players, she’s the optimal choice.
Best for: Players who prefer methodical, stealth-based approaches over direct combat.
