Imagine if this was real-life, wouldn't you want the most capable hero protecting you and your family and friends? or would you prefer a certain girl because she's prettier, hotter, funnier, or something like that?
As a matter of fact it dones't make sense that Batman knowing what he knows now hasn't even considered having Cass as Batgirl instead of Babs...i remember in the previous continuity, Batman saying to Cass: "remember, on those streets, you are me" and other stuff, really showing how important Batgirl is and what it represents to him, and i don't belive that Bruce see's himself on hippster Barbara of Burnside.
Sure, Cass is now "Orphan" and we know why...but whatever, and for those wondering, i do like Babs, but i think that she's bad for the batgirl role that Cass managed to turn into a respected role, and i would like to see her as Oracle again where she would actually matter again and in a big way.
