Dawgstar posted:I watched Linkara's retrospective on Cassandra Cain and he mentions that she retires from the super life at the end of the run in Detective Comics. While I'm not upset, I am curious why she's back in costume for Outsiders. Ooh, she's in Outsiders now? Who's writing it and is it any good?

Edge & Christian posted:Good news, they're branching out in Batman/Superman, which is all about Batman and Superman fighting Joker Batman who is making Joker Batman Shazams and Joker Batman Green Lanterns and wants to make everyone into a Joker Batman! Finally all the dogshit characters you don't care about get a double dose of fan interest by being turned into Joker Batmans. Oh no, I've gone crosseyed.

I will only accept Cass Cain as the replacement Batman. Possibly in a partnership with Tim (I really liked Daimon Scott's Solo comic with them, OK?)

Darth Nat posted:The Cassandra Cain graphic novel, Shadow of the Batgirl, came out today, and it's really good! The art probably isn't for everyone, but I enjoyed it more than just about anything I've read from DC in a long time. Anyone that has a passing interest in Cass should check it out. I'm glad to hear it's good! Now I just need to wait until I can get my hands on my copy...

Darth Nat posted:That library is so cool. I might have otherwise been disappointed in basically the entire story taking place in one location, but it's so big and cavernous and well-realized. Also, it gave me this sequence: I love 'scoop' as an onomatopoeia. And the tiny little 'fwump' for the book in the following panel.

taichara posted:I have the Steph Batgirl trades sitting right here; I'm very fond of them and of Steph as Batgirl. But it's just as understandable that fans of Cass (I've never had much of an opinion either way, myself) were irked when it happened. I think New 52 Wally might be a similar thing.

Skwirl posted:Yeah, they really wanted to have their cake and eat it too with the New 52 reboot. Big important stories are still part of the canon, unless they aren't. Honestly, in my opinion they should have just retconned that out completely if they weren't going to have her be Oracle, considering it's basically the posterchild for Women in Refrigerators and even Moore disavowed what happened to Babs in that story. But I guess it's too ~iconic~.

I know that in the Shadow of the Batgirl graphic novel, Babs was put in the chair due to an accident. And speaking of Babs and graphic novels, is The Oracle Code any good? I liked the preview they had in Shadow of the Batgirl.

See also: him writing in as a fan to suggest that maybe Lex Luthor was the origin of Superboy's human half, getting politely shut down, and then making it canon when he got to write the books.

catlord posted:Definitely has been, I read it a long while ago. It's... probably a good thing it never panned out, but it's neat that they're officially putting it out there for people to see. It's definitely fascinating to look at a pitch like that and I wish we saw more behind the scenes stuff like that for stories that never came to pass. I mean...I'm guessing Alan Moore won't be getting a paycheck for it. But then what else is new?

I mean, you could always bring back Chris Kent if you want another Super-Son, but I don't know if he even exists in the current continuity.

Weren't they supposed to move back when the New52 was published? And that was supposed to cover for the move, but then it didn't happen for whatever reason?

I'm surprised nobody brought up the surprise member of the Birds of Prey. Future Maps!  I liked her interactions with Cass in Batgirls, so this should be good. Also next time they do a Batman Beyond series they need to do an arc with past Maps showing up since IIRC there was a bit where she actually offpanel travelled into the future after Blight came back in time to kill Terry's dad.

Xelkelvos posted:I sorta forgot about that because it's just so bizarrely out there and was overshadowed by my own reaction to how offputting that Harley could beat Cassandra's body reading. Didn't Joker cause trouble with Cass' bodyreading way back in the original Puckett run? There's precedent. Edit: BoP Spoilers also is it wrong that assuming Meridian is actually around Cass' age I hope she sticks around in the present and they become girlfriends? They'd be cute together. Obviously Present Maps should stay at Gotham Academy with her true love, though:

I actually kind of shipped Cass/Tim in the pre-Flashpoint times. Of course then the whole dang universe rebooted. And I do get Cass/Steph but I do honestly think they make such great friends/surrogate sisters. Also going back to the Batgirls issue where Maps shows up for some reason she's depicted like a child, despite being Damien's age. Like she's Kyle's little sister, but she still goes to his school! I thought she was only a year younger.

Abroham Lincoln posted:"Surrogate sisters" as opposed to the literal brother and sister pairing mentioned two sentences previously Fair point. I always forget that Cass got adopted, proably on account of the Beechen mini being where it comes up, her going off to Hong Kong for a while and then Flashpoint happened. And like I said, I moved past that. I'm on team Cass/Meridian now.
