BatChat With Matt & Will: Batgirl Doesn’t Talk, But We Do

Cassandra Cain Banner

A fixture in the Bat titles from 1999-2011, and again since Rebirth, Cassandra Cain was the second full time Batgirl. Trained from birth to be a living weapon, Cassandra had to learn not just how to fit in with the Bat family, but how to fit in among normal people. This week, just in time for her new mini-series, we discuss two early stories of Cassandra Cain and the mini-series that tried to rehabilitate the character after editorial missteps left her in a bad way after One Year Later.

  • Down With the Ship (Batman: Gotham Knights #2)
  • Speech & Consequences (Batgirl V.1 #4-9)
  • Redemption Road (Batgirl V.2 #1-6)

InĀ this weekā€™sĀ BatChat column, we readĀ Batman: The Long Halloween- The Last HalloweenĀ #2, Batman: Full Moon #1 andĀ DC Horror PresentsĀ #1
