Cassandra Cain is hands-down my favorite Batgirl, so when I heard she was getting a new solo series, I was beyond thrilled—though I’ll admit, a bit apprehensive, as I'm incredibly picky about how she's portrayed. But I'm thrilled to say that this series has already delivered one of the strongest takes on her character yet, thanks to the creative team’s brilliant revival of Cass’s signature 'superpower.
✕ Remove Ads Cass’s aptitude in this area is so high that, in my opinion, it reaches a meta-level and absolutely deserves to be called a superpower. She’s essentially a walking lie detector, reading people like open books and anticipating their moves before they even make them. Related Batgirl’s New Mask Is the Futuristic BATMAN BEYOND Look She Deserves Batgirl's mask has received a major futuristic upgrade that looks straight out of Batman Beyond—and we’re crossing our fingers to see more of it.
Another big win for this series is how the creative team handles Cass’s spoken dialogue, keeping it short, somewhat choppy, and to the point. This way of speaking is central to Cass’s character, reflecting both her background and her personal preference. Cass grew up isolated by her father without spoken language or hearing others speak. As a result, her speech style—direct and economical—is both a natural outcome of her upbringing and a likely personal choice.
