Hey, even if she doesn't go by Batgirl, if she ditches the codename and costume I'm happy.

A variant cover isn't a reliable thing at all. The artist could just decide a costume because he/she likes more that costume. So, I wouldn't say this is a hint that Cass will get the costume.
Tynion teasing Batgirls for Cassandra and Stephanie isn't new, he has already do that in Detective Comics. We just can hope it has more impact now.
I think at the very least we're getting Cass back in the costume. There are three reasons why. #1 Earlier this year we've already had Shadow of the Batgirl and DCeased Unkillables which featured her as Batgirl. When you have both of those happening you know the gears are turning than say in 2011. #2 We know since NYCC that the history of Cass as Batgirl was being put back in. Sooo... why not undo one of the greatest crimes they did to the character? #3 Tynion been wanting this since he brought the character back. With certain "folks" who could be seen as a roadblock to denying this or had in the past, they aren't with the company currently. Add that up with September being just about the right time said folk would be gone and with their influence gone, and suddenly Tynion gets his wish...
And behold I shall be a blight upon the land and everything I touch shall wither and die.
Cass getting her costume back is a big enough move for me.
But a full-tilt Batgirls scenario is where I really want things to go.
Retro315 no more. Anonymity is so 2005.
