Description
This only makes sense to those who have been following the story of Cassandra Cain who was once Batgirl. See, DC decided they didn't want her to be Batgirl anymore so they made her evil and she kills people now. This is an imagining of if the real Cassie Cain (Batgirl) had an opportunity to meet this new villain version of Cass. I'm just venting through art here.Related content

Heh, a friend of mine actually started on a comic script where Evil!Cass is actually an Earth-3 (y'know, where everyone's the opposite and evil) version that slipped through after the latest Crisis. Once Cass and Evil!Cass discover each other's existence, it leads to a long-running cat-and-mouse game through Detroit. Shame he let it sit unfinished, it was as good a retcon as any for Beechen's blundery.
Anyway, this is a simple, well-drawn little comic that still makes me smile three or so years after the fact

You're kidding. She DIDN'T. Geez, and I thought the comics world was going slightly to seed when Marvel killed Captain America...

Will Carl be making a return? He seems to have some comic potential...

Thanks for venting for all of us. Stupid DC, screwing with the continuity and characters just for the hell of it...

way to go man, the pic looks good, it is funny and Batgirl should have stayed batgirl, her book was very good, they had her living on her own away from Barbra a bit and she was coming into her own

Cain (both Cains) are awesome. I really enjoyed Cataclysm and No Man's Land. But Year One is kinda... stupid...

Edit: Year One? I mean, One Year forward. Or whatever it is.

One year later. Yeah, that has kind of been a lame duck when it comes to Cain and his daughter. They both end up looking rather weak.

I totally agree. It's insane, whatever 'logic' they used to make these decision.
I can just imagine...
Employee A: "Hey, let's scrap that story with the girl proving that blood doesn't make you who you are, and that anyone can be a hero, and that girl's aren't all little nancies with nothing better to do than pine over the REAL hero in the story...we'll totally reverse everything that she's ever done with her life, and she'll be a villain in Robin's new comic for all of three issues!"
Employee B: "Brilliant! But do you think the chick readers will be upset?"
Employee A: "Nah, we'll make it up to them by making a new batgirl who's a lesbian. That'll make everything just okie-dokie."
And that was that. Chumps.

Not just a batgirl, let's make it a batwoman!

What they've done to Cass is nothing less than a travesty and insult to all who have supported her character and title. thanks for venting through your art; it captures how I feel well. Nice to see another who feels the same way about DC and Dan Didio's recent decisions.

Indeed. There's a whole group of disgruntled Cassfans who vent their frustrations. Most notably those who do the Casstoons over at the DC message boards.

man. good thing i quit reading mainstream comics. the new batgirl was stupid enough.... wait, i thought she was mute?

Nah, she understood language and after a while, I guess the writers got tired of writing for a silent character, so they gave her speech. The sad thing is, this new Cass they have now does nothing but talk which is totally against type for what she was before.

Egads. That's as bad as making Spider-man Iron Man's wussy errand boy and having him talked into giving away his secret identity.

Yeah, that makes me happy I'm not reading Civil War.
