I'm so ready for her to be Batgirl so they stop calling her that.
I wish she was Black Bat instead of Orphan

I remember they had to drop the Black Bat name for legal reasons, but I wonder if that's still applicable.

Who has the license for the name?

It's a more justified use of the codename, at least. I hope Cass realizes disowning Shiva doesn't mean she lacks a family.

Dynamite Entertainment, apparently. Original Black Bat was a pulp hero.

Probably not. I think most if not all of the YJ show's knowledge of Cassandra Cain came from the Tynion run on Detective Comics.

It's still a pretty depressing reason for her to go by that (and just kind of a silly thing to call her in light of this episode). Like, what kind of Superhero goes by "Orphan?"

That wouldn't surprise me, especially with Spoiler's costume.
I think they were producing the show at a time when DC Corporate were resistant to depicting either Cass or Steph as Batgirls, Cass was even forbidden from using the Bat-Symbol.
If Cass is supposed to inherit the Batgirl mantle from Barbara, I hope it's shown before the end of the season. Imagine if that was planned for a season 5 that might not happen.

And the best part of that run, the reformed Clayface, occurred in the audio play that takes place before this season. I hope we get to see him in this season too. I was disappointed he wasn't with Will in Bowhunter Security.

Hmmm. It would be interesting if Will took in reformed criminals for his security company.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was in a time-skip. I mean, I think the only on-screen mantle change was Bart becoming the new Kid Flash and I guess Mal as Guardian.

Does that make him count as part of the Arrow Family instead of the Batfamily here?
I just got caught up, and am so far enjoying it much more than last 2 seasons. Almost entirely for refocusing on less characters without losing the worldbuilding. Also the smaller timeskip was appreciated. Conner's death hit harder than Wally's because of this. I do think the Legion saved him though. Wonder if Vandal is still enacting his plan in their time.

The Legion kind of prove Savage lost in the long-run because it's an alien-based Superhero organization that protects Earth and the entire universe, on-top of enforcing the United Planets which Earth is a part of, meaning Savage and the Light's Earth-centric MO ends up a figment of history.

Does DC corporate have any control over how characters are used in adaptations? Wouldn't Warner Bros. have more of a say in that?
