They assert that Barbara Sr. was a cop and was killed, thus protective dad Jim’s resistance to young Barbara joining the force.
There was also a flashback scene filmed with Jim Gordon running to the door of the Gordon home (we know it’s a flashback because JK Simmons is sporting a red wig) and the place blows up, the blast knocking Jim backwards and off his feet. Was mom inside?
Also, regarding hair color, things seem pretty confusing. There are multiple set pics and videos of the apparent young Babs with mom and dad, both separately and together, in which kid Babs has dark brown hair. But adult Barbara has a hair color that, while seeming pretty inconsistent- appearing to vary from brown to vibrant red- is definitely NOT dark brown. So, who knows?! Have to wait for the movie I guess!!
