City of Light: Cass Gets A Boyfriend... Another One

[espanolbot]

Cass is having coffee, when a random diner empolyee decides to hit on her.








Embarassing romantic upset number one: finding that the girl you like is severely dyslexic and unable to read the note you sent her.

Wait, does the fact that she got a cheque mean she can no maths? Hm, I think I read elsewhere Cass just hands over a bunch of tens and twenties at random and they work out the change for her.

Anyway, considering Cass' boyfriends tend to have the lasting power of an unrefridgerated carton of milk, she happens to be single at the time so she takes him up on it.













Mickey Rourke seems to have taken time out of promoting Iron Man 2 to play Cass' dad here. Weird that this fear of intimacy hasn't appeared anywhere other than this mini series, huh?

Anyway, Javier decides to send her some flowers to make up for whatever slightly he assumed Cass felt he'd done.

Yeah, people make a lot of weird noises in this storyline. Batman spends two, three issues going Grrmph for example.

Wait, doesn't this invalidate the part of her origin where seeing someone killed in front of her make her run from her father and become the littlest hobo?

Anyway, Javier vanishes from the story as actual plot occurs, but we're left with these two panels as City of Light concludes.


Wow, look how enthusiastic she is. Why does Bruce hanging out in the background make it look like he made her go out with Javier again?

Anyway, Javier evaporated after this storyline, only to be semi-replaced with Tim. Who Cass was apathetic about unless off her face on Evil Juice. And then there was Sal, from Beechen's mini series, who also vanished after THAT mini was over.

Unless Cass is dossing at his house at the moment or something.

If Beechen did that, I'd be surprised. The sheer number of facts that he got wrong is mind boggling, especially given the age of the internet.

What's even worse is how his destruction of Cass' character actually saved him. I mean the plot holes...

"So Robin spends eight hours figuring out how to break into Blackgate, but can get back out lugging a full grown man?"

"Robin can convincingly impersonate a cop, but infiltrates the station in full costume?"

"So Robin's plan to clear himself of murder charges is to bust out a mass murderer and allow him to escape?"

"Where did Cass get a magical flintlock that can fire more than once without being reloaded?"

"What with Cass' sudden need to hump Tim when she's shown no interest in him before that point? I mean, Tim thinks that she's hot, but also that she's too much like Bruce at the same time, which weirds him out. Maybe it's just a side effect of the Slade juice, as Rose tried to get Tim as well."

"Who stapled Lynx's head back on and resurrected her?"

"What was up with Cass' huge thighs when she appeared in Dragon Lady mode?"

"Why!? WHY!?!"
