There's no reason that Cassandra can't be kidnapped and trained by David Cain right after the events of this movie.
The issue would have been that they didn't have a character with any psychiatric training to thus reach out to a non verbal character, and all of her acting would have required non verbal acting.
*cough*
So yeah, they would have had to make an effort. I can see why that's a non starter

He can, but making this character trained by Cain would not make her Cassandra Cain (from the comics, in spirit) regardless.
Cass was trained, from birth. The training stunted her ability to express herself verbally. She rebelled against her father because she knew the pain that murder brought someone, at the age of eight.
Frankly, the story lost a great deal of potential in making Cass just some regular kid. Usually, when someone gets the reigns of the Noble Savage, they're moral people who try to bring out their humanity (see Unleashed by Jet Li, for example) and act as their moral compass.
Harley acting as Cass' moral compass could have been hilarious, and maybe forced her to grow somewhat.
But no, that involved risk. Just something DC isn't willing to do.
They could still do that as the movie never touched on why Cass was in foster care in the first place and she's older than 8 in the film so it's open to being a possibility.
DC does take risks which is what's gotten them into trouble in the past as well as gotten them critically acclaimed.
I don't see how a back story can turn this Cass into a character that close to the comic version.
A backstory isn't going to suddenly make her Mute, up grade her fighting skills or change her personality.
Knowing her reasons for being in foster care isn't going to fix the fact that this Cass doesn't have the tells and behaviour/conditioned reactions that years of intense physical and abuse we see in the comic Cass.
This Cass gave me Steph Brown vibes.
If I were to make a joke Huntress actually acts more like the comic book Cass(weird,antisocial,lack of communication skills,no social grace) then the comic book Huntress. A little bit of training like the stuff we see Huntress go through for Cass and she will be an awkward kid just like Helena.
No you won't get the Cass is mute and learns to speak storyline but you can easily get something close to it. In this movie she's just the morality pet for all of the adults which is fine but next movie I want hit girl on screen again.
You are mistake Surprised you didn't see the mistake since it's in your post.
Marvel movies aren't called Feige movies they are called Marvel movies.
Marvel Movie are called Marvel movies because they are based on characters from Marvel comics [now owned by Disney I guess]
Similarly DC movies are DC comics.
It's just a way to easily specify movies in the superhero [adapted from comics] genre into subs based on the comic publishers name.
The nolan movies are called the Nolan movies because there's lots of movies based on Batman and 3 directors who've made multiple movies based on the character so fans and the media have to specify which batman movies they are talking about.
The Nolan trilogy or the Dark Knight movies
The Burton Batman movies or the Tim Burton 89 bat movies.
It makes it easier.
The early Superman movies are known as the Donner movies.
the X-men movies and the SPiderman movies are also identified by the Director because all of the X-men movies and the Spidermovies Weren't directed by the same person.
Feige is the only mastermind behind all the Marvel movies so no need to to divide into Marvel movies into sub categories named after various mastermind.
Which is why there's no such thing as the Feige movies. X-men, Deadpool and Spiderman for a while weren't technically Marvel IP's so couldn't be categorised as Marvel movies

Movie Cassandra should have been Misfit.
I liked it, but with some buts.
The good. Lots of action, plenty of jokes, and a plot that both makes sense, moves at a fast clip, and can be followed along. Given the many characters and several flashbacks, that's a minor miracle of direction. The actors generally do a good job, though I wish they had been given more to work with.
The not-so-good. Some of the fight scenes (and there are a ton of them) felt drawn-out, especially with mooks taking hits that should be disabling, and instead they just continue fighting. But I think the movie lacks real drama. We never really get to see the characters grow and change, or see them interact to the degree that they do in, say, Mad Max: Fury Road or Guardians of the Galaxy. I think that makes the movie forgettable and makes it feel slighter than it should be, and makes the final teamup feel unearned.
It's also a rather brutal movie, including one torture scene early in the movie.
