At the start of the first gen series, Babs was Selina's tech teacher at Super Hero High. Where Catwoman was learning to be a hero than a villain, even though Catwoman is one of the few students who does villain-like actions; like stealing and cheating. After Batgirl was expected as a student, they became classmates and has busted Catwoman more than once.

In "My New Best Friend", Catwoman tries to steal Batgirl's Batcycle after over hearing her mentioning the bike's new night vision updates. Although Batgirl kept her from stealing it, Catwoman notice that Barbara hitting her head has caused Babs to lose her memory and takes advantage of it. By claiming to be her best, and making Babs believe that she is a villain who goes by "Badgirl", the title sounding familiar gets Babs to believe Selina. To keep up the illusion Selina doesn't tell Babs why they stole Principal Waller's laptop nor the reason she needs Babs to remember how to hatch into it. Claiming that it is part of a surprise, and then lies about throwing her a surprise party in the past. When the other students arrive to get the laptop back from Catwoman, she tells "Badgirl" to attack them. Batgirl's memories return after getting hit in the head again, thrown the batarange Catwoman snatched from her and had bounce off of Supergirl's wrist band. Before Batgirl placed the batcuffs on Catwoman for her current crime, she makes her think that she was still believed Selina to be her "best friend" and wished to give her friendship bracelet.

The gen 2 reboot series, has both Babs and Selina move from Gotham to Metropolis, where Batgirl forms a team known as the Super Hero Girls, while Catwoman joins the Super Villain Girls.

Despite Selina being a rouge turned member of the Batfamily in the modern comics, Babslina is mostly seen as a rare crack ship. Mostly due to their limited interactions. With it being rare for them to meet either as allies or as enemies. Though there are DC universes that depict them as friends, leading to some fans of "Hero x Villain" ships tend to focus on those versions. Though some prefer them to be enemies in the begining, as they can see the potential for an enemies to lovers style of ship.

On AO3, Babslina currently has 40 written works, as well as 15+ gen works.
