On the Bats

Wish I had better news for my first post, but this is what caught my eye today.





From Wondercon's DC Universe Panel

"Cassandra Cain will not be a member of the Bat-family after “Battle for the Cowl,” Sattler said."

11. So there’s still a role for the second generation characters who took the role while their mentors were not in it?

DD: There will be an enormous role for them moving forward. There’s a big role for them now – Kyle is in Green Lantern Corps, so he’s never been marginalized; Wally and Connor, and even Cassandra Cain will be appearing throughout the year, and will be seen in roles where they really have a chance to shine.

Or be dragged through the mud, depending on how you approach it.

15. While I have a feeling this will be another non-confirmation, non-comment answer, still – what can be said about the upcoming Batgirl miniseries? You mentioned Cassandra Cain earlier...can we at least get an idea of who it is in the title role?

DD [laughs] Why do you think she wears a mask? She doesn’t want anyone to know who she is. Seriously, I don’t want to spoil any of the excitement that’s coming up in Battle for the Cowl or Oracle: The Cure that are both coming out, but I have to say that there are plenty of clues as to who the next Batgirl will be and what her mission statement will be in her series.





This week-end hurts my tummy and makes me lose my appetite.

All signs pointing to Batgirl!Babs... Ugh, no... do not want. :(

Tell me about it. Cassandra hanging up the cowl? I think that could pass/be undone.

Putting Babs back in the costume, though? I honestly think that'd be the end of Oracle. And I liked Oracle, while I never liked Batgirl!Babs.

do want! babs!batgirl deserves some post crisis stories for a start. Its a new age of storytelling the character hasn't benefitted from.

She's been Oracle for 20 years(so maybe 8 years in comic time), why get rid of that? She's separated herself from the Bat name, why put her there again? She's a grown woman, why call her 'girl'? It just seems ridiculous and pushes Cass out of the way, who's been a better Batgirl than Babs ever was.

Now if it's a look at the past, I can accept it though with what DC's been saying lately I'm not so sure it is.
