I forget how many times writers had Cass work through her father issues with both her biological father Cain and her father-figure Batman. High heeled boots prove Cass's undoing, but she redeems herself by once again beating the snot out of every sucker she meets.Ĥ) Celebrating Her Birthday on the Wrong Day With Batman ( Batgirl #33). She has to endure a lot of sexist "compliments" from Tim Drake.
Cass also takes on Barbara Gordon's legacy as the first Batgirl by putting on her clothes and fighting crime. It's easier this way, plus it illustrates on how much higher a plane Cass operates.ģ) Up Yours, Barbara ( Batgirl #45). Cass starts training her, but rarely takes her seriously as a partner, an attitude she makes quite clear when she simply cold-cocks poor Spoiler to keep her out of a fight rather than take the time to explain to her she's only going to get herself killed. Somehow, she ends up making friends with the largely incompetent Spoiler. It made it difficult for her to make friends, and she barely seemed interested. Early Cassandra Cain had little use for social niceties like- you know- greetings, farewells, the stuff in between. Something soft and human resides in her, despite the abuse she's suffered.Ģ) Take That, Spoiler ( Batgirl #27). It startles him the same way it startled me here's Little Miss Kung Fu, silent and damaged, showing tenderness. Batgirl puts a major ass-whuppin' on some stereotypical comic book tough guys to save this bald guy and his pet paper bag, then plants a kiss on his cheek. No point in antagonizing people this early in the game:ġ) The Impulsive Kiss ( Batgirl #2). Oh, and I altered a couple of "controversial" jokes from my original posting of this. Here are my 10 favorite Cass Cain moments from the first 50 issues of Batgirl (there have been precious few since).
Well, I suppose being raised as an engine of violence tends to do that to a young woman. I've lost count of how many times she's beaten up her biological father and her best friend, and the fights she's had with both her mentors plus their various proteges. Cassandra Cain is one crazy kid and she's so damned hard on people.
