Well, DCEU Cass' character can be easily fixed by kinda retconning that she was actually playing down her abilities throughout the movie ("being normal") to fool the other girls. It could be that she was actually an agent planted by either Barbara or Bruce at Dinah's apartments to keep an eye on Dinah (due to the rise of metahuman activity since BvSDOJ)(the parental screaming in her apartment was actually a recording) and that she simply went with the flow of the events that followed and got tangled up in the mess following Harleen Quinzel. Throw in some character quirks like she sometimes makes bad decisions (eg swallows the diamond) and you have a good character saving retcon opening up for a pure kickass Batgirl movie.
Anyone ever get the feeling Cass should be taller?
I mean 5'5" is taller than the average woman, but considering that Shiva is 5'8" and Cain is 6'2", she genetically should be taller than Shiva especially since Cass has finished puberty.
That being said, she ran away from Cain when she was eight and from that point until she was seventeen she had no home and wandered the globe. I would imagine that Cass didn't eat regularly, which perhaps explains her somewhat stunted growth.
Then again, genetics aren't a sure thing. She could just be naturally short (compared to her parents).
I guess I do always think of Cass as short more than I do tall.

Cass is going to appear, or just on the cover?
Neither, it's a pinup that will be in the book. The Black and White books have featured pinups in between the separate short stories.
Cass with a sword looks as weird to me as it did in Young Justice.
She's a hand-to-hand fighter who is probably the strictest about not killing people, more than even Bruce. Why would she use a sword?
If both Black Bat and Silhouette cannot be used as names for Cass I think Shadow-Bat is a good alternative.
