Batman and Robin Eternal 11
Dick and Harper break into the Canadian home of David Cain, the man who they believe to be the Orphan. Instead they come across a woman calling herself the Sculptor, who finds out Harper's name via mindpowers before knocking her out psychically. She seems a touch annoyed that she's not able to find out Dick's name, as his spy hoodoo keeps his secrets safe from mindreaders.
The Sculptor says that after the incident in Prague, Mother is beginning to close up shop, and that she wants to help Dick and the others stop her before she fades away entirely. You see, the Sculptor is how Mother has been able to rebuild people from the ground up with new personalities, as her powers enable her to do that kind of thing.
However, in order to fully explain what Mother's deal is, the Sculptor needs to do a mindmeld with them in order to share what she knows. Dick refuses, but since Harper already has had her ID blown she willing agrees to the Sculptor's mental mystery tour. And the tour is effectly the Reboot version of Cass' secret origin.
In order to break down Cass entirely, he made her watch as he gruesomely killed literally dozens of people in front of her until she was numb to it. David then forced her to fight the strongest and most skilled fighters he could find, and it paid off. Cass was truely unbeatable, even against enormous metahuman dudes.
Mother though, wasn't happy that David had decided to have his own little "project" away from her control and scrutiny. The fact that David had done this to Cassandra purely to demonstrate that Mother's new methods of producing "pure" children via drugs and psychic powers weren't as good as the psychologically damaging means he thought up.
The scene skips, to a scene that I have a feeling will soon be elaborated on further... Cass' first murder.
It then skips once again to Batman seemingly buying an heir from Mother, a scene that bothers Harper so much that Dick takes a tazer to the Sculptor to bring the pair back to reality. Harper explains that she was going to be shown the Fake Robin, which Dick then demands to be shown... only for the comic to end with him and the Sculptor tumbling through a mental landscape as a combination of the tazing and his physically grabbing the psychic causes her powers to malfunction. Oops.

Yeah... The woman Cass killed is totally going to be Harper's mum, as part of some (possibly) failed scheme to create a Robin, isn't it? It's already been established that Harper's mum was killed for seemingly no reason and that there were no apparent suspects, kinda seems that Cass might have been the one forced to do it.
...Which makes the vaguely shippy way her interactions with Harper have gone thus far reeaaaallllly awkward. There is a direct, recent comicbook related comparison I can make, but I can't really even explan what it is 'cause spoilers. Annoyingly.
Can't really get a grip on what exactly Bruce's plan is with the fake Robin. Like, Mother kind of made it clear that she was going to do it regardless of Bruce's consent, but his seemingly getting involved seems like a really weird manner to catch her. It's like hearing that someone is going to rob a bank, helping them do it at the cost of innocent lives, and then arrest them anyway. You might have caught the bad guys, but you're still involved in some heinous stuff there.
