Fanart ...Wednesdays? - Cass Cain edition

[atom_punk]

Dedicated to my personal favorite Batgirl....nuff said...

(Oh and I'm posting this early because I fully expect to be swamped tomorrow and unable to post :P)

This first one's an oldie that's made the rounds already, but it still blows me out of the water everytime I see it :D

Little concerned about this one, since it is more sexualized by the artist's own admission. It was done as a commission so he did it at the request of the commissioner, so please treat the artist with respect. On the whole, I like this design and especially that awesome "faceless" helmet!

I remember when Dick Grayson took up the mantle of Batman there was a brief vogue amongst some fans for Cass becoming Nightwing. I personally didn't think that was the right course for her character, but the "Casswing" designs came out pretty nice.

Also, as a sidebar I prefer the blue. But this one still looks pretty cool!

This one's a little confusing. According the the picture's description this is meant to be Cassandra, but the purple is making me think of Stephanie more. But either way, I'm liking these retro-style designs so I figured I'd toss it in.

The Batgirls...what more can I say?

No Steph, that's not Crane-style kung fu...

Aww, don't feel down Cass...

...that's our girl! Picks herself up and gets right back into the fight!

Always loved Cassandra's awesome muscles. As one particular webcomic superhero once said "Girl abs!"

But her back is also beautiful, scars and all!

See? Stephanie agrees with me

That's all for now! Hope people enjoy! And sorry if there are any repeats!

Love 'em all :D. Thanks for sharing~.

That second one might be a bit too "sexy" but the design's still pretty neat.

On the subject of Casswing, I'm with you on it not being the right course. I think that though we didn't ever get to see much of it, her Black Bat identity struck a much better balance between remaining an apostle of The Bat and growing into her own person.

I was not a fan of the Casswing concept (ironic in that he never used her but I did like the Black Bat by Morrison) but I did like a lot of the fanart that came out of it. If I was re-designing Cass's costume I think I would replace the yellow bat outline (which I believe she inherited from Huntress) with one in a shade of blue.

Yea, Stephanie Brown works better as Nightwing :)

Though Casswing still looks really cool...

"Casswing" would've made sense during the period that Dick was Batman and Steph was Batgirl. I always thought her Hong Kong-era pre-Black Bat uniform was a blue chevron away from being a great Nightwing costume.

Ah, Cass and Steph, still the best :)

[superfangirl1]

All these are so awesome. :)

These are all really great. Thanks for sharing!

By the way, would anyone remember some fanart from a few years ago? The artist had drawn the Batboys in tuxes, and the Batgirls in both tuxes and little black dresses (or red, there were two versions I think). I keep thinking about them, because there were a lot of James Bond jokes thrown around, which got into Nick Fury/SHIELD jokes, which got me thinking of Agents of B.A.T.M.A.N. (Bureau Against Terrorists, Madmen, And Nutcases.) Because there's that Russian agency that has a bat as their emblem.


*Sans Damian. This was about the time he was introduced, and nobody liked him. He had tried to murder Tim, after all.

Some artists did a great job with Cass as Nightwing like so:
Cassandra Cain as Nightwing by ~FSbot on deviantART

I just found myself wondering why DC hasn't launched a multiverse book with an earth starring all the characters that were deleted in the reboot that people want back. Make it digital-only even, why not?

Scans_Daily membership alone might be able to justify it.

[atom_punk]

Isn't that what Grant Morrison's long-delayed project "Multiversity" is stated to be?

[benuben]

I've been thinking that since the reboot started. I mean why not? What's the downside?
