Cassandra Cain (Batgirl, Black Bat) Appreciation

[godisawesome]

Finishing the trifecta of Red, Purple, and Black.

Our girl's still MIA, but we've got that Hing Kong issue of Eternal coming up. If the guys in charge of that book have been given any leeway, we could have at least some kind of sideways reference to Cass.

Also, I want to start off with one of my favorite pictures, featuring two of my favorite characters.

Dude. You just made my day. Those two are my favorite heroes also. I miss Cass Cain. Heck I miss when they were dating (though short it was..)

She KO's a large telepathic monster with one punch.

In training, with a flip kick, she used enough force to make Onyx fly several meters and break a sofa in half.

I recently listened to the audiobook version of Greg Rucka's novelization of No Man's Land and it reminded me (not that I really needed it) of just how much I love Cassie and miss her.

Amazing audiobook, by the way. Get it.

Today I picked up Scott Snyder's Gates of Gotham, and I like her interactions with Tim and Damian.

Your amazing list of Cass pics aren't working for me, both FF and Chrome yield redirect errors, IE failed too. Is everyone else able to load them? Maybe it's my setup.

I bought that issue when it first came out. Looking back, I seem to recall wondering just how Cassandra did that. Right now, my best guess is that at the subconscious level Kon-El's "tactile telekinesis" ability knew he didn't see "this smoking hot Batgirl chick" as a deadly threat, and he secretly wanted her to touch him, so when she started to slap him on the face, his usually-automatically-activated telekinetic force field just (figuratively) stuck its hands in its pockets and whistled a nonchalant tune, saying to itself: "Nope, there's nothing I need to be doing right now -- I'll just mind my own business and let these two crazy kids work it out among themselves!"

[Black Angel]

i can only imagine how much more epic she will be in the new 52 i mean look how much stronger rose wilson is i can only see them doing the same of my girl Cass. They better not change the fact that shiva is her mom though.

On the other hand, I always hated the ideas of "David Cain is her father and Lady Shiva is her mother." This would be a great time to flush it down the toilet and forget it for good!

Shiva has/had a sister. How about her and Cain as Cass's parents?
