Cassandra Cain: Batgirl, Black Bat, Orphan Appreciation 2019

We don't know who movie Cass is yet, but I doubt they will. The movie is going to be released in a dump month, after all, and its clearly no Deadpool.

I'm not saying that this is great for Cass, far from it. But it's not the end of the world, 'emerald twilight' either

Or more appropriate to Cass, One Year Later.

I'm not as down on this movie as some are but it isn't impossible to use her comic depiction in an ensemble cast.

Don't know I have the impression that for Cass really to work as a character in a team, you would have to design the team around her.

After all, she did have a supporting cast in the books and came across as a full character when interacting with them.

Having a supporting cast is different from being team, or in the case of this movie to be a supporting character for someone else.
I think if you look at the trailer it seems pretty clear that this is mainly a Harley Quinn movie.

Don't get too excited because the picture is super blurry but I think in the DC new timeline I managed to find

Generation 3 Year 7 - No Man's Land - Cassandra Cain debuts as Batgirl - Harley Quinn debuts

Generation 2 is 15 years starting at Batman's debut
Generation 3 is 15 years ending at Flashpoint
Generation 4 is 5 years ending at Year of The Villain

Emphasis on super blurry! The only reason I can guess it's Cass is that I saw Stephanie Brown debuts as Robin in Year 9

I'm 100% sure on No Man's Land though

People have mixed feelings about this movie already because of DCEU and Suicide Squad's reputation, so if the movie blows, there's no damage to Cass. She's a supporting cast in the movie and will remain where she is comics. The movie synergy will quiet down just like it was with Suicide Squad.

If the movie is super hyper mega awesome successful and she's not in character in the movie, that's when you start to worry.

I wouldn't. DC isn't that big synergy even when the adaptation is successful. Just ask John Stewart, Wally West, Artemis Crock or Donna Troy.

It is really cute. I'm very curious how this is gonna go!

I'm glad we're also getting Babs as Oracle in it.

Have to agree that it looks fun. And I must say that the former Ink line is the most interesting place for DC right now. There is some excellent stuff in the other lines too, but here they dive right into and dig up some of the pieces that DC has left by the wayside, and does fun and interesting things with it. I also dig the perspectives we get of the library.

Okay.

If you're a Caddandra Cain fan and you aren't reading issue 6 of Batman and the Outsiders, you're doing a mistake, guys. I think it has everything a Cass' fan can ask, and promises more.

And, damn it, I want more of it already !

I didn't love the issue, but seeing Cass spoilers:

and Shiva again

end of spoilers promises very exciting things.

Aside from One Year Later, have there been any more instances when Cass is out of character?

Exactly!!!

Post-Flashpoint Cass' combat ability has been so lowered. She's been beaten by Jason, Cain, Helena, Azrael, Karma, that Cable-guy, etc. Let alone her mother. I remember Pre-Flashpoint Cass was only beaten twice respectively by Shiva and Cricket.
