Babs in Batman begins?

In the credits for batman begins, barbra gordan is listed in the credits, but I didnt see her anywhere in the film. The only part i can think of that it might be is when batman meets commissioner gordan at his home, and there is a little girl inside the house, but she looks too young to be babs

Its Jim Gordon's first wife, named Barbara Gordon. The baby is a boy named James.

Nope, Batgirl/Oracle is also Barbara Gordon but she's Jim's daughter/adopted daughter who's really his niece... depending on what version you're looking at.
Begins seems in many ways to be based on Batman: Year One. In that version Babs is Gordon's niece and James is his son. So, Barbara would be the wife we see through the window.

Well, once Barbara and Gordon divorced, after which Gordon would marry Sarah, Barbara left with the son. What he's up to right now, I couldn't really say. Perhaps just one of those characters that disappears forever a la Judy Winslow.. at least there's a reason for James Jr. to leave though.
