I actually liked the Zero guy she hung with before Bludhaven went kablooey. If you think about Dick is the only one of Bruce's Bat-kids who only ever see any action - as far as we know Jason, Tim and Cass are virgins who haven't even got to second base yet with any SOs.
I don't want to say City of Light was bad, it had an interesting idea but it couldn't pull it off. Bruce went around (drawn badly) feeling sorry for himself and all dark and gloomy (natch) and Cass who had has much time in the mini-series was portrayed all wrong. Someone correct me but she never talked to her father because he never spoke to her, thats part of the reason why the speech of her brain was wired wrong. And this is the only time I've ever seen him drawn this way (yet know I can't get the image of Mickey Rourke as David Cain out of my head).
And yeah, I remember scenes of Cass where she had no idea about money, previous to hooking up with Babs she lived on the streets, after that Alfred did her shopping and after Bruce gave her her own place she an unlimited credit account and always carried around large bills (50s, 100s) in case she needed to buy something (though Alfred continued to buy her clothes and stock her fridge). This was all B.B. (Before Beechan) of course when Cass was written as a consistent character.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
