When Black Alice met Misfit

Charlie is feeling down in the dumps due to accidentally causing the deaths of hundreds of people by teleporting into a giant mech and causing it to explode by randomly pressing buttons.

Alice has been brought in on a consulting basis, this being before she went completely doolally and tried to mug Satanus and stuff,

Weird, they referenced the Goth/Emo difference that Raven's series got confused.

Charlie doesn't take this action lying down, and prepares to unlease her Righteous Fury(tm),

Then there is kerfufflement involving the Dark Side sidekick fight club, and Charlie discovers she and Alice are sisters and stuff.

Blimey, if this is her reaction to Babara mentoring someone who isn't her, what will her reaction be to learning that she's full on given the Batgirl role to the very girl whose autopsy photos she used to scare Charlie into not getting the job?

While I could see Misfit arguing with Steph that way, I can't see it happening with Cass, who shouldn't be that easy to annoy. Having Steph and Charlie on the same team could be interesting - rather than writing them as "generic teenage girl" the writer would have to show us their differences (Steph has a lot more experience) and similarities (they both seem insecure at times and both have problems with their mentors) and that could deepen both their characterisations. And Cass could be their highly professional but emotionally dysfunctional counterpart. With a good writer, they all could *shine* in this team-up.

	But that would require EFFORT! Something the average comic writer won't DARE put into to such low trier characters! I mean, none of them have even appeared in a Cartoon yet! ... head-desk Ah, well.

Hm, well Steph was in the Lego Batman computergame as Spoiler, so that's one down. Cass wasn't for some bizarre reason.

Cass had a cameo in Justice League though, as party of Batman's anti-Nazi resistance fighter squad, though she didn't say anything. Which was in chatacter for Cass at that point in time, I guess. She also appeared in a computergame, Batman: Dark Tomorrow I think, though that was cancelled before it was put out to sell.

Misfit hasn't appeared in anything, but bizarrely Cluemaster has appeared twice in two different series. He first appeared in the Batman but since he basically looked like Oogie Boogie from 'A Nightmare before Christmas' (as well as being voiced by the same voice actor) it's unlikely that he fathered Steph at any point. If only because he was a hugely fat nerd who lived in his mother's basement and obsessed about a children's game show he appeared in when he was a kid.

The other appearence is in his regular costume, in the background in a villain bar in 'Batman: Brave and the Bold'.

	Cass is or was lined up for the proposed DC MMO as Batgirl too. But I did not include video games for a reason. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Dark Tomorrow did come out and had Cass in it. The only thing that was cancelled was the PS2 port. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

Misfit and Cass would be a good team-up, they can compare notes on how Babs (their mutual surrogate mother figure) has basically forgotten either one of them ever existed. (I used to think Cass and Rose Wilson would get along too but Beechan ruined that idea- along with everything else Cass-related).

I like Black Alice - usually - but only when she's portrayed as anti-hero with no time for either the heroes or the villains (my favorite story with her is one she basically told the Legion of Doom members sent to recruit her and the Birds who came to "rescue" her to take a flying leap and get out of her town.
