Cool if a variant of Cass is being featured in the new animated movie. Hope it's closer on brand than the Birds of Prey movie Cass (and I did like that variant in and of itself within the context of the movie).
What's this about a de-aging retcon? Also, not sure about how the adoption theory has paned out long-term, but the current Batgirls series did kinda position Babs as a mother figure to Cass and Steph and that Young Justice cartoon did emphasize the bond between the two (not explicitly stated to be mother/daughter figure, but with a similar intensity, all things considered).
Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."

This reminds me how I wish we had gotten a good Cass vs Shiva fight in Young Justice, but they didn't want to do any hand-to-hand fights and just foisted swords on them (which completely goes against Cass' style and character).
Happy birthday Cass.

Happy Birthday Cass.
Well, Cass' character was at least a little bad ass in the latest Harley Quinn.
Still seems like a waste, though
Why do they keep making her mute? Are we to assume she got her vocal chords slit again?
I mean, adding diversity and all with a sign language rep that but it's like people forget she learned to talk in the comics and that was a pivotal point for her character and she can generally speak. Having her already knowing sign language kind of misses the point of that. Cass has a voice.
Also, the Batfamily taking two other kids into the field like the same day they met them...seriously? Even by HQ standards that was a lot.
Yeah, I know.
Odd how Cass keeps showing up in HQ stuff as little more than muscle or a mucguffin. You'd think that Harley's background as a shrink would be useful in connecting to a traumatized, non verbal young woman.
Nope!
Also kinda sick of how the heroes can't do anything right, and the villains can't do anything wrong. I'm aware of protagonist centered morality and all, but this cartoon/series takes it way too far
I don't think Harley was a very good therapist to begin with. And even if she was, it has been ages since she practiced.
I have some issues with the show, but it isn't accurate to say the villains never do anything wrong. The episode in which Harley causes Mr. Freeze's death due to her misunderstanding the situation is good evidence of that.
