Batman (1966) producer William Dozier requested that a female heroine be created for the Batman comics so he could use her on the show. The character Barbara Gordon, daughter of Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon, debuted in Detective Comics issue #359 (cover-dated January 1967) written by Gardner Fox, drawn by Carmine Infantino, and edited by Julius Schwartz. After DC Comics confirmed to Dozier that Batgirl was a permanent addition to the comics, Dozier added the character to the show. Her television debut was in the first episode of the third season, Enter Batgirl, Exit Penguin (1967), played by actress Yvonne Craig.
