Because I is a generous sort, and because I likes attention...
*preen*
... here is a sneaky, teenie tiny peek for Batgirl #2: Narrow is the Path that Divides Sharply.
**********
Adrenaline was the ideal companion for momentum, just as the skyline of the Narrows was the perfect playground for parkour. Stephanie Brown was blessed with both tonight, the teenager bounding from one obstacle to the next as blood pumped throughout her body like wildfire. A skip, a leap, a jump, there was to be no impediment to be found for the determined in her town, the forgotten District of Gotham overgrown, overpopulated and it’s buildings so ramshackle and close together that a single, death defying leap could carry you from one rooftop to the next.
There was no direction for her tonight, clad in a midnight guise of her own devising, Stephanie driving herself only forwards as she fought to silence the condemnation of an imagined jury. A flip, utterly unnecessary and yet intensely satisfying taking her from one ledge to another before a tuck, slide and tumble took her clean beneath a water tower, finding her feet again with heavy duty footwear before continuing her mad dash.
**********
And I reveal nothing!!
As it should be X3

I is breaking my brief bout of radio silence (it doesn't happen often, I assure you, silence is the enemy!!) following the birth of my new (and first) Nephew, I has a special announcement to makes!
Well, not so much a special announcement, but more of an impromptu brainstorm session! I am of the opinion that Batgirl is deserving of her own Rogues Gallery, and while Batman has one of the most expansive and eccentric cast of villain's in comics, I'd rather Stephanie Brown tackle foes that she can call her own. So with that in mind, and given that I don't have the most expansive knowledge on the subject, it would be awesome if youse guys could throw some oft forgotten, rarely used and/or underutilised Golden, Silver, Bronze, Modern, Whatever Other Age Villains youse can think of that are ripe for a come back and all reimaging for a new age of being Batgirl's Foes!
I has a few ideas of my own, but I is always open to more, and while I can't promise anything, you never know what might become of it.
I is all ears XD
Now excuse, I has a baby to fuss over...

Lady Clay (Sondra Fuller) Duela Dent Bronze Tiger Silken Spider
An interesting idea could also include her tailing Wrath, thinking it's the real Batman. She's not exactly part of his inner circle, right? So maybe she just spots Wrath one evening and thinks, "Hey! Batman! I'll go say hi!"

I have some ideas:
Baby Doll: In Batman TAS Mary Dhal was a former child star who kidnapped her former classic TV show cast for revenge. But the twist is that she still is in her child like state due to a disease stopped her aging. In the DC2K version, maybe Mary would take the Chucky route from a female killer/criminal fused with the body of a animatronic doll similar to Five Nights At Freddy's with the dead children using the pizza animatronics to get revenge.
Red Claw: Another Batman TAS villain that could make herself useful as a assassin or arms dealer.
Calendar Girl: Female version of Calendar Man but with the buff Chip and Dale dancer henchmen.
Magpie: Beware The Batman version/Margret Sorrow. She's a better version than the original since she was killed off. Margret would take the mantle of Magpie, after she learns that Maggie Pyre was her sister and wants revenge on the Bat family.

Killer Moth ( he was one of the first bad guys she fought, so it's only fair)
I second the vote for Duela Dent/Joker's daughter
Blockbuster ( he was one of her arch-foes when she was Oracle. You could do either the Hulk rip off version or the criminal mastermind one)
Kite man ( keep the goofy look and make him a gentleman thief that challenges her just for the fun of it)

Prometheus would be a god foe. Out of her usual weight class, but all heroes need to punch up once and a while.
Junior from Secret Six is another good choice. Someone who makes Steph's relationship with her own dad seem normal.
A Young Justice inspired Sportsmaster would be another good choice.

Duela Dent has popped up more than once during my brainstorming sessions, I love how she keeps hopping between villainous parents, which presents some interesting possibilities considering Stephanie's actual parentage. Given Wrath's background, the potential is also strong with this one.

Hmmmm, Baby Doll could be a lot of fun, nothing like a little bit of old fashioned revenge.

I think the only time I've actually encountered the Killer Moth character thus far was in the Teen Titans cartoon where he had the bratty daughter.
Huh.
I've just had an idea...
A Gentlemen Thief is also always entertaining, so Kite Man may find himself pencilled in XP

Prometheus? Damn, do you want Stephanie to die? Didn't he go toe to toe with the entire League?
Sportsmaster is another excellent contender.

One of my favorite comics ever is in Morrison's JLA run where Prometheus invaded the Watchtower and just tore apart the entire League.

When I looked up Anarky as a possible rogue for Batgirl, I was shocked to learn his father may be Joker. Not sure if I'd go that route, but on the whole he's an interesting character. Genius child who tries to tear down the system using gadgets and a costume that hides his true size.

Hey, Spidey vs. Juggernaut was a hard fight, Cap vs. Us Agent was a hard fight. Sometimes a hero/ine has to punch out of their weight class. How exactly to do that, to give Steph a hard but credible win over Pro...well, that's your problem. That's why I like Cass better. She'd kick his ass
