Helena Burtinelli was a Batgirl briefly before Cass. She wore the same suit (or if not the same, very similar).
Did anyone else ever finish Batman and Robin Eternal? Iām curious how Cassā depicted in that book. I never finished all of it but believe thatās where took on the Orphan name? Cass, Tim, and Steph absolutely need their own book for just the three of them. Iām re-reading Detective Comics rebirth run and Cass/Clayface are the best together
I read Batman & Robin Eternal when it came out, but I donāt own it anymore nor do I remember how Cass got her new nom de guerre.
The good news is, B&R Eternal is coming to DCU later in the month so we can all find out/reacquaint ourselves with it.
Reading these issues really have opened my eyes to having someone else as Batgirl. Iāve always read Batgirl comics with Barbara being the one in the suit.
So seeing a different take on the Batgirl character was pretty coolā¦ Iāll admit tho it took me some time to get to know and understand her. GREAT PICK FOR BOOK CLUB.
There had been a discussion on our Discord channel for this book club about the various Batgirls and also Batwoman. Itās interesting to see the emotions that each type of the female bat family person generates depending on peopleās experiences in the past with either film cartoons or movies or comics. Most recently, Batgirls in Young Justice Season 3 show another take on the whole mythology of this. As I recall, Cassandra Cain is Vandal Savageās older daughter in a space station in YJ.
@Don-El No, I think Vandalās daughter just happens to have the same name. Thereās also Wonder Girl, Cassandra Sandsmark, so itās not like itās unprecedented.
The other big one is āBat-Girl,ā real name Bette Kane, who was created along with Kathy Kane/Batwoman as a responce to the Fredric Wertham āSeduction of the Innocentā stuff to be Robinās girlfriend. And yet he was always trying to get her off his back, whichā¦is an odd way to show that someoneās straight, but whatevās.
Mr_Morbach, you realize in Young Justice Season 3, the character had the same first and the same last name as this Batgirlā¦ I think thatās a little more than just a coincidence stillā¦
But I have to do more research I think Iām a little confused as to who was in that spaceship with Vandal Savage
Iām back was knocked off for 2 months. Hi JLWWSM missed u.

I read this arc around the same time as it came out so rereading it will be practically reading it again for the first time. I look forward to it!

My favorite Batgirl is the Rebirth version believe it or not. I really think sheās fun and the stories so far have been really cool and modern.
@BoyNCape
Iām so glad you enjoyed a new take on Batgirl! It took me a minute to get used to it too, but she is such a unique character that I was sold on it by the end of issue 2.
@djd187.81432
I just dropped you a heroās welcome on your thread in the General section. Welcome back, buddy! I missed you!
Was knocked off for 2 months could only read comics on Apple TV app. Cassandra Batgirl was awesome, man did I dominate some comics. Read entire 100 issue run of Batman no mans land. Cassie was awesome in that also. Glad Iām back, missed the community.
Thanks JL Iāll go there now. So good to hear from u again missed everyone.
@Batmite267
Youāre very welcome
Iām hearing great things about Rebirth Batgirl! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the book this weekend.
Really digging it so far! Iām on issue 4!
I read all six issues this morning. Very good, as always. I love how fierce Cass is. Oracle and Batman served as nice counterweights to her.
Looking forward to the spoiler discussion.
Oh no spoilers the other Batgirl
