They could depending on how much they will reboot the universe. I hope with BoP it's a complete reboot. How much should they reboot BoP?
Am I the only one who kind of doesn't want Babs to appear in Caped Crusader rather want Betty Kane since we don't see her much. Like I wouldn't mind if we hear mentions of her. I just want to see Betty be more main character and Batwoman team

Yeah, if Jim Gordon shows up and Babs doesn't, that would probably be due to not seeing Jim outside of work. He can definitely show up without her as long as we don't see his home life. And if it's early enough in Batman's career, Babs could still be a child. She canonically doesn't become Batgirl until after Dick becomes Robin, right? So if there's no Robin yet, makes sense that Babs wouldn't be Batgirl yet.

Babs not being black when Jim is could be explained if Barbara Gordon Sr, her mother, is still white. Mixed race kids can appear to be the race of either parent or something in between.

Flashback scenes of young Barbara with her mom and dad were filmed for Batgirl.

Well, according to plot leaks...
nope
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!!
