Date: 2013-01-27 09:28 am (UTC)Though people seem more willing to accept that Bruce can do things that Cass can do, because he's Batman. But they draw the line at someone who was trained from birth being able to do such things, even if they spend all their freetime training to make themselves even better.
People get kind of defensive about this, go figure.

Date: 2013-01-27 04:15 pm (UTC)I've wondered about the Cass-Bruce skill discrepancy a bit before and I think it comes down to a matter of exposure. I've read a fair bit of Batman, I've seen him fight superhumans and thugs and generally be awesome, so wherever a comic makes a claim about or an allusion to his badassery, I remember that stuff and so I know that Batman is indeed the badass that they're saying he is. With Cass though, I have very little experience with the character, I've read maybe one or two storylines with her, and when I see a story talk about how hardcore she is, it's like they're telling me instead of showing why she's a badass, which makes Cass' skills seem less earned I think. With Cass it's like I'm just being told that she's a really great badass, but with Bruce I've actually seen it.
I mean, that's how I think of it, I'm sure other people might have different problems with it.

Well, he blew up Bludhaven, but I don't think any of them were shown-killed (unlike a lot of Dick's Bludhaven villains). I say they escaped ^^

Date: 2013-01-28 05:01 am (UTC)What's worse was that it was something DC wanted to attempt again - remember James Robinson said his "editors" (i.e. Eddie Berganza and Dan Didio) wanted him to eliminate all fictional DC cities not named Gotham and Metropolis in Cry for Justice (at the same time he was supposed to kill off Mia/Speedy with Lian) and he refused. It's just one of those "what were they thinking" moments that seem to often occur when it comes to DC Editorial decisions.

Date: 2013-01-28 05:13 am (UTC)Hm, yea, that reasoning seems to fit DC's of the time- the reasoning behind the reboot, the reasoning for getting rid of minority characters with cult followings, etc.. "If it isn't super-big, toss it in the trash heap!".
Really no appreciation for building something up over time...

Date: 2013-01-27 09:19 am (UTC)Basically the head of the Russian Mob decided an effective way to take members of other gangs off the playing field was to send her men to go and kill the families of rival gang members. Which resulted in her sending armed men into playgrounds to kill children as young as four.
And in the case of Tim's new semi-GF (she was interested but Tim just saw her as just a very good friend at the time, unable to kind of get past what her father did for a living), numerous other girls who happened to look like her were shot dead (and other students who happened to be in the way) before she painfully bled to death in front of Tim.
And this happened IN A HIGHSCHOOL.
She eventually came back as a kind of zombie-ghost, appearing in a couple of other Bill Willingham DC books like Shadowpact later on, but, yeah, it's kind of bizarre considering all the crap surrounding War Games how this manages to get a pass from people.
