Kara and Barbara first met in the Silver Age of comics where they were quick to forge a strong friendship, even if they didn’t learn each other’s secret identities until several years. Barbara delivered the eulogy at Supergirl's funeral which was seen worldwide, stating that Kara “was often her confidante and always her friend”. In the rebooted universe, young Barbara had a blonde imaginary friend and dreamed with being a super-hero named “Supergirl”.

Girls Night Out[]

Barbara is about to be hit by Livewire when Kara arrives and saves her. Barbara assumes she's Supergirl and Kara confirms this when they're hit by Livewire. Livewire starts attacking Kara, but Barbara distracts her with a batarang. Livewire then runs out of charge and flashes away, Barbara running to Kara's side. She "welcomes" her to Gotham and Kara gives her a smile.

As they talk to Harvey, he asks where Batman is. Babs says that they're handling Livewire, and he sarcastically says that's reassuring. Kara sticks her tongue out as he walks away and Babs tells her not to listen to him. They're gonna have the whole thing wrapped up before Batman and Superman can, and Kara says it can't be hard. It's two against one and they shake hands.

Kara lets Babs ride on her shoulders and Babs says it's incredible. Kara says that it's her favorite part, and points to streaks of lightning going off in the air. She tells Babs to hang on as she goes in for a landing. Kara gets trapped by Livewire, but Babs is able to encase her in electrically resistant dust. The two are about to high five for defeating Livewire when Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn reveal themselves. Kara asks if they're friends and Babs says that they aren't hers. Ivy then traps Kara is vines, and Babs tries to help her out, but she's knocked out by Harley.

Ivy attempts to seed Babs but Kara uses her heat vision to destroy them. Ivy starts to leave but Kara gets in-between her and the exit. Ivy then says that Kara's predictable and that the "seeds" were actually poison and Babs is now trapped with it filling the air. Kara then rescues Babs and takes her back to Babs' apartment. Kara looks around at the tech in Babs' room and asks if she knows how to work all of it. Babs says that it's her job as a data analyst for the GCPD. It helps her with her time as Batgirl as well. Kara says that Babs' life is cool and Babs asks about Kara. Kara awkwardly says she lives on a farm, and Babs says that Kara is lucky. The two laugh as they see that it's always greener on the other side. Kara asks what they're gonna do now, and Babs says they're gonna start searching for the trio.

They get information from The Penguin and head to Harley and Ivy's. Kara asks how much Dust Babs has and Babs says it's enough to cover a house. Kara then uses her X-Ray vision and realizes that the trio know they're there, just as Livewire zaps them. They fight Ivy and Livewire till Babs throws Livewire into a rushing water. Just as the electrified water is about to hits Babs, Kara flies over and saves her again.

Later that night, the two eat ice cream and watch the news report on what happened. When Bullock calls them rookies, both are offended, but Bullock does say they have potential. They then happily high five.

KaraBabs is considered a rare pair in the DC Comics fandom. A page from Batgirl Adventures became somewhat infamous within femslash comic communities for both hinting at Harley/Ivy and acknowledging some fans perspective on Barbara/Kara. Some fans started shipping Kara/Barbara in DC Super Hero Girls, but earlier shipping came from the DCAU and to a lesser extent the Comics. It is still one of the more popular Kryptonian/Batfamily ships.

On AO3 there are currently over 90 works.
