    Default Is it time for Cass to replace the "Orphan" name yet?

    I don't mind if Steph keeps the "Spoiler" code-name, but I've never really loved "Orphan" for Cassandra.

    Since the "Batgirl" name still belongs to Barbara Gordon, what other names could Cass use in place of "Orphan"?

    Two possibilities could be "Dawn Bat" or "Brown Bat".

    Other suggestions (besides going back to "Batgirl") people want to throw out there?

    The Fart- silent but deadly
    Alternatively, Hypertension-the silent killer
    It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?

    Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

    I still think Black Bat is awesome. But I can understand stupid copyright issues.

    So I'd say: SOMETHING BAT!

    Oh, also, I thought for sure Tynion was going to name her something Shadow after League of Shadows.

    Maybe Cass can be the inspiration for Shadow Lass' name ?

    Dawn bat seem to similar to signal
    And brown should not be used in a name it will not sound appealing

    What's wrong with blackbat?

    After 2 failed attempts at a superhero code name and persona, maybe drop those things altogether and go the Richard Dragon route with her.

    Well, it's not exactly original to DC.



    Black Bat was originally a Golden Age pulp character who first appeared back in the 1930s. More recently, other comic book companies have published comic books starring the Black Bat, so DC wouldn't be able to copyright the name for Cass.
    (And we know how DC can be when it comes to using names for characters it can't copyright/trademark! = Shazam! = )
