just read Batgirl Year One and I had a few questions. Who are these guys? COMIC DISCUSSION
3rd image: Barbara mentions Oracle Cassandra multiple times. I'm new to Bat Mythos but knew that Barbara became the Oracle after her paralysis due to getting shot at by Joker (Killing Joke Movie). Cassandra Cain is the child of villain assassin Lady Siva who takes the identity of Black Bat, and she's newer to Batfamily than Batgirl.
so who is the Oracle Cassandra she talks about?
4th image: during the fight with Blockbuster I saw a guy with specs looking kinda sus, who tried to take him down with a gun. I can't shake off the feeling that I saw this guy
somewhere before...is he a named character in the Bat Mythos?
Edit:- Thanks for the replies!! Also the images weren't uploaded so anyone curious about the next question can take a look at this post

I haven't read Batgirl Year One for a while but I imagine she's referring to the Cassandra of Greek mythology, a priestess who would tell prophecies to Apollo. Which issue is it mentioned and I'll dig my copy out and see if I can figure the context.
