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.

	Also, is that second scan from Suicide Squad? What comic/issue is it? I don't think I've ever read those early stories of Oracle, beyond a few scans on...sob (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That was actually her first appearance beyond being a voice coming out of a computer, when her identity was revealed. #38 was the issue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And I don't suppose it's available in a TPB somewhere? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They have a Showcase Presents trade with the first 18 issues of SS that's been delayed. If they put 'em out at this rate, the relevant issues would be in volume three.

Honestly, the scanned page is the only appearance Oracle makes in #38. She's conspicuously absent in the next few issues, conspicuously because both Batman and Jim Gordon appear in #41 and Batman hangs around for the rest of that four-issue arc.

If you want to find Suicide Squad issues that feature Oracle, #48 and #49 would be my recommendation. Her first appearance since #38, and a two-parter that centers around her.
