    An interesting difference between Cassandra and other similar "trained from birth to be assassin" characters like Damian, is that Cassandra wasn't even really trained to be an assassin, she was trained to be a weapon FOR an assassin. Damian was trained to be an assassin, which included not only combat training but also training in disguises, languages, strategy, tracking, etc. A lot of harsh and abusive training absolutely, but intended to make him a fully functional and proficient soldier and assassin on his own, and eventual heir to take over The League. Cassandra wasn't taught anything except solely to kill. Even if she did enjoy killing and always stayed with her father, she'd never be a functional assassin on her own, just an extremely proficient killer that David Cain could aim at his targets. It's a distinction I don't see mentioned often, sets her apart a little from Damian and the several other characters with similar backgrounds in superhero comics.

    I agree that the BoP movie did not due Cassandra Cain justice...but there was a reason for that. The director herself is an Asian women, and Cassandra is Chinese. In media like comics and film, the mute female Asian assasin type is a very prominent and harmful stereotype. The director, of course, didn't want this kind of stereotype in her movie, so she changed Cassandra's entire character. It may not have been the best decision in my opinion, but there was a reason behind it, which most people tend to overlook.

    I think of Cassandra Cain as the antithesis of Harley Quinn. How, you may ask? Harley Quinn is proof of the Joker's thesis, that most people are just one bad day away from becoming him. Of course, Harley also dilutes that premise by becoming a nobler, if morally gray version of the Clown Prince, but even in this way she represents a threat to Batman's ideology. Even after breaking from the Joker, Harley continues to live in a world of madness by choice, the difference now is that she owns it. In direct contrast, Cassandra Cain is proof of Batman's thesis, that everyone deserves a chance at redemption, the very reason he doesn't kill his enemies. As a born and raised assassin who turned away from the life after her one and only kill, Cain not only proves that thesis, she's since made it her lifelong mission.

Like, they kept nearly everything else the same but decided to just ignore 2 decades of development for Barbara and get rid of Cass and Steph just so they could have Barbara be Batgirl again?

I dug deep and discovered those interesting tidbits of her story, daughter of David Cain and Lady Shiva, Black Bat, Batgirl, Orphan, and her Batman alignment. The scene where she sees ballet for the first time hit me in the heart, as I view art in the same way Cassandra does. Bruce and Cassandra are amazingly similar, their ideals, their obsessions, and they both had one bad day that changed their lives, at the very same age. Thanks Sage for all that knowledge and more.

(So long as Val is in his own time period) Tim should be the next Bat because he would be "The Worlds Greatest Detective" but Cass knows the mission better.

During the Rebirth era, we saw her slowly returning to who she was pre-New 52 and I was loving it. Her being a fighter who feels compassion even for her enemies, her friendship with Stephanie and Clawface, and her love for dance and theater (which also made her connection to Clawface all the more genuine because he too loves theater and dance). I hope we get to the point we’re DC doesn’t hate its legacy characters. Cassandra Cain is a great character and seeing her be treated so badly by DC in recent years is disheartening.

    I think a big difference between Damian and Cassandra is she never lost her innocence. She was raised to be a weapon a pawn that doesn’t think. She never lost her childlike foundation. Damian was indoctrinated and raised up to maybe be the next leader of the shadow of assassins or go shake up life with his dad. He was fed villainous thoughts and mindsets to prepare him for said life. So his innocence was pushed to the side.

    I also have always enjoyed the aspects of disability in Cassandra Cain's story, especially in the 2000 series. It isn't handled perfectly, but better than most examples and still really nice to see. I do think it's a shame most newer versions tend to gloss over it and/or rush along her rehabilitation to where it doesn't come up much. But it's at least usually there a little, except in her awful Birds of Prey rendition.

    The problem is that DC keeps rebutting its adaptions, usually to keep the story on Batman in the first few years of his crime fighting when he either has no allies or only Dick and/or Barbara. That’s the problem, you can’t adapt the rest of the batfamily if you never move far enough in the timeline to reach them

You cannot be a man cassandra but your dedication to what is right has made me understand what it means to be true and real and honest. That is why i like her more than any other "super hero" besides Batman.

    @@KnucklesxReala911 I hate Damian, because in my opinion his presence inherently isolates Batman from the rest of the Family. By being such a 'Problem Child' and by being Batman's Biological son, Batman ends up JUST paying attention to him. The point at which Damian first showed up in the comics is the same point when the Batfam stopped being a family and started becoming Batman's coworkers. Cass was the EXACT opposite. Bruce related to her incredibly strongly. He felt like they understood each other on a profound level. And by working with Babs to try and help her adjust - in often conflicting ways - the family still had the sort of drama that made for good stories but they FELT LIKE a family. Cass had really good interactions with pretty much everyone IN the Batfamily. Cassandra Cain makes Damian Wayne redundant. That's why they keep sidelining her.

    Cass is my favorite Bargirl, and one of my favorite characters overall. Though, I will disagree with the "essential nature" of Batman & Robin Eternal. True, that bit at the ballet was nice, conceptually. But for me, it was marred by the entire series was more about Harper Row, with everything and everyone else being an afterthought. I frankly consider "Orphan" to be little more than a poorer clone of Cassandra; similarities notwithstanding, she's essentially a different character.
