Batgirl vs Batman
Batgirl #49-50 aka Bruce versus Cass with her wanting to remain being Batgirl.



Why indeed Cass. Why indeed.



Do we have a Bat Dickery tag? If so where would that be?

#49 was regular so seven scans of that. #50 was double sized by I think 40 pages. I just went to the scans I thought best that highlighted the fight. I know the moment below was scanned before during One Perfect Moment week and the end was posted as well. Should I remove one page given that page was posted?

To summarize the events why this happened, Bruce was giving out some serious Bat Dickery moments. He put a end to Cass's relationship with Superboy, and other questionable acts all leading up to him "firing" her from the role. We start with #49 with Alfred giving her a new place to live:








Babs goes on to offer Cass anything, to which the later begs to be Batgirl still. Babs says she can't so Cass runs. Not before taking off with one item, Babs' Batgirl suit.



After making some modifications Cass begins her usual patrol and stuff (taking out some thugs for Tim whose all O_o what just happened?) Babs calls Bruce and he begins to add up what's going on.

Cass meanwhile finds Dr. Death ready to perform for some cilents a test of his latest drug compound. She crashes it but finds out she isn't the only one doing so:


#50:




Death throws the compound he wanted to test. It's called Soul, and it supposedly heightens aggression. Oh boy...





Bruce and Cass take their fight to multiple other levels. Dick tries to stop them only getting his butt handed to him by both. Tim tries the opposite route by going back to Death en route to jail in police convoy and getting a cure out of him.

The fight between Bruce and Cass reaches it's climax when:



Bruce drops the charge and ignites the bridge. Thankfully nobody is harmed from the explosion.





The two where effected by the drug though Bruce claims, "not as effective as Death claims." Still the two fought it out in as Babs puts it, "one screwed up therapy session." Still that's how it went down and why Cassandra was loyal to the symbol, not the man.

True, but remember, comic book time is much slower than ours - years for us is months for them. It wasn't THAT long ago that this came out - two or three years ago, right?
And she gave it up. Without any warning. Just stripped down, tossed the suit to Steph, and vanished.

But it HAS been years in their time too. 52 itself was one year, plus add in everything else that's happened and we've jumped two or three years just from when I started reading, let alone when this stuff would have actually happened.

Cass has been through alot lately, as have the rest of the Batclan. Maybe she feels Steph deserves a shot or maybe she feels the Batclan has lost their way. maybe she's just sick of all of them.

Perhaps, but I don't see how handing over the batsuit to Steph is actually HELPING her. I mean, her problem hasn't been that she's the Spoiler, it's been that she's Stephanie Brown, the Batclan know who she is, and they treat her like dirt. A new outfit might help conceal her identity from them for a while, but hell, Babs has already figured it out, and is getting ready to give her the old what for - it's only a matter of time before the rest of them figure it out as well.
And perhaps Cass IS sick of them all, but it would have been nice if she could have SAID that, instead of just mumbling things about how Batman is dead, etc. Hopefully, we'll get something from her POV before long, and it'll be better explained; 'til then, I remain disgruntled.
