Cassandra Cain is a growing girl
So, I was working on my pull list article for my website (where I detail what looks good in comics the coming week), and looked up the Battle For The Cowl: The Network cover art for use in the article. I felt...compelled....to share this with you.

Jesus Christ, Cassandra has not always been this well endowed.

I just found it amusing, and figured you guys would too.

	This nonsense started waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the World War III special, where she was hanging out with Deathstroke. Slade Wilson apparently has mammary-enlarging powers, judging from the way Ravager and Batgirl have filled out in recent years. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	On the other hand, at least Helena is in THE RIGHT FUCKING COSTUME. Pity the interior artist didn't get the memo. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Absolutely 100% agreed. Considering that her costume doubles as armor the stripperific outfit they keep wanting to stick Huntress in makes absolutely no sense. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I've seen her with bigger boobs. In cannon too. Actually they are kind of downplayed here, all bunched together instead of flopping around separately from one another in individual form fitting boob sacks like they normally are. (Reply to this)

	To me, this looks suspiciously like Frank Miller and Lynn Varley's art in Elektra Lives. Not that it's them, but the style seems quite familiar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm sorry, but there is something super freakish about the anatomy on the ladies. Something about the rib cages, musculature looks too man-ish. It's like he made the boobs huge in order to compensate for the rather masculine body structure...I mean...look at Manhunter...what is up her ribcage/spine. O.o And Cass's face is too long. She's got a rather manly chin there actually. *shudders* Great concept, great coloring, but the executions kinda faulty in the anatomy. *shudders* creepy...

	They do all have rather mannish shoulders. They also apparently haven't got any internal organs and might have had ribs removed. The coloring, on the other hand, is gorgeous. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	filkertom 2009-05-04 05:09 am UTC (link)
	I was thinkin' that. Maybe someone here is spending too much time drawing the costume and then spackling in the anatomy under it...? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	aaron_bourque 2009-05-04 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Part of that is muscle, the rest is boob. Make up your own proportions. (Reply to this)

	queen_marshed 2009-05-04 03:28 am UTC (link)
	Judging by the face, shoulders and the rest of the musculature I'd say this is actually Tim with two large sandbags attached to his chest. And in a corset. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I like your theory. Unfortunately, I know for a fact that I've seen Tim (and I think Dick at one point) cross-dress better than that. Tim on the undercover mission where he's dressed as a (female) medical student, and I believe it was Dick who once dressed as Babs!Batgirl so she and her alter-ego could appear together in front of her dad. But that being Tim in bad drag would make more sense than that being Cass.

	I'm just surprised that Ragman isn't sporting twin bazookas too. If the artist has gone this far down the path he might as well go all the way. (Reply to this)

	It's obviously extra armor plate and kevlar which doubles as a nifty distraction for male (and some female) opponents. I hope. (Reply to this)

	It's kind of the reverse of art by Trina Robbins or early Colleen Doran, where the men are women with slightly wider shoulders and maybe a wispy little mustache. (Reply to this)

	IT'S RAGMAN! Ragman is awesome. And yes, that is scary artwork on Batgirl. The immediate impression I had is that her actual chest is missing, and that her lower abdomen is growing directly out of the bottom of her breasts. (Reply to this)
