Cassandra Cain: Orphan, Black Bat, Batgirl Appreciation 2021

[John Venus]

How about:

The Ebony Knight.

If Luke isn't using it anymore, Batwing would work. Or Shadowbat

Then why didn't Cass keep that name when she was reintroduced in New 52 instead of being called Orphan?

Maybe because she didn't have any real Bat-connection yet at that point?

How about:

The Ebony Knight.

Why does that name make is sound like she should be an African-American or something?

For anybody not aware of it, there's a magazine called "Ebony" that's focused / targeted for African-Americans.

Shadow Bat is still my preferred favorite of possible alternatives.

I don't think taking away the code name of one of the few prominent black characters in the Batman worlds and giving it to another character will be a good look.

Only if the character was the 70's where they felt the need to underline the characters race. I mean by that logic Obsidian/Todd Rice should be black as well.

Shadow Bat is still my preferred favorite of possible alternatives.

Shadow Bat sounds very close to 'Shadow of the Bat' and it makes it sounds like Cass will always be in Bruce's shadow. I like 'Shadow Knight' since it's a lot more bad ass than Batgirl while still being similar to Bruce's epithet.

Does Cass even have a secret identity any more? I feel like I've seen her without a mask more than I've seen her with one since her return.

She barely has a civilian life, so yes, technically?

[John Venus]

I mean, you could still have a code name even if you don't have a secret identity.

[Frontier]

Well, I don't think she's publicly exposing herself as a vigilante named Cassandra Cain so I'd say she does have a secret identity.

Bat Noir

Barbara's already been "Bete Noire" in Batgirl: Futures End.
