On the Bats
Wish I had better news for my first post, but this is what caught my eye today.

From Wondercon's DC Universe Panel

"Cassandra Cain will not be a member of the Bat-family after “Battle for the Cowl,” Sattler said."

Which you can add to http://www.newsarama.com/comics/020925-DiDio.html

11. So there’s still a role for the second generation characters who took the role while their mentors were not in it?

DD: There will be an enormous role for them moving forward. There’s a big role for them now – Kyle is in Green Lantern Corps, so he’s never been marginalized; Wally and Connor, and even Cassandra Cain will be appearing throughout the year, and will be seen in roles where they really have a chance to shine.

Or be dragged through the mud, depending on how you approach it.

15. While I have a feeling this will be another non-confirmation, non-comment answer, still – what can be said about the upcoming Batgirl miniseries? You mentioned Cassandra Cain earlier...can we at least get an idea of who it is in the title role?

DD [laughs] Why do you think she wears a mask? She doesn’t want anyone to know who she is. Seriously, I don’t want to spoil any of the excitement that’s coming up in Battle for the Cowl or Oracle: The Cure that are both coming out, but I have to say that there are plenty of clues as to who the next Batgirl will be and what her mission statement will be in her series.

This week-end hurts my tummy and makes me lose my appetite.

	I've honestly never been a Cass fan, but I still think she's better as Batgirl than Babs, and I like Babs way better as Oracle. This is just undoing 20+ years of good character development for no adequate reason. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The thing that disappoints me about this is that, if Babs is going to be Batgirl again, she's going from being practically unique in the DCU to being just another costume. And we have more than enough of them already. I don't mind them changing her if it's into something else interesting and unique, but this... (Reply to this) (Parent)
