#Batgirl Vol 3 showed us Blue Lantern Cass

[takaraphoenix]

Show of hands who else felt a certain sense of glee at Clark referring to Cass as “a Robin” and Cass saying “I am”.

Sure, I love her as Batgirl. A lot. But honestly? Would love to see her actually, actively be a Robin in a main-timeline-esque Elseworld, at the very least? I know Dark Knights of Steel doesn’t count Robin-wise because the Robin-mantle means something vastly different here, but still reading this exchange really made me want to see what Cass as Robin would be like.

(Also, Cass as an Amazon is a cool pitch too, ngl.)

any essential rebirth comics?

okay so first of all do not feel compelled to reply this is mostly me getting my list in order and I probably will research later myself. Its just if you WANT to blabber about comics go ahead and use this as your excuse

I’m making my way through some DC rebirth in the hopes of catching up on whatever’s going on.

So far I’ve read (at various points)

first 8 issues of hawkman (was really only reading this because my friend’s a hawkman fan, so when they stopped reading I stopped)

first 4 volumes (so... 20-30? Something) issues of Green LanternS (with simon and jessica). planning on buying vol 5 and 6 soon

~30 issues of detective comics (stopped when i got bored)

first 4 volumes of superman (got bored around manchester black plotline)

first 6 issues of nightwing and then the nightwing must die plotline

first 12 issues of teen titans (got bored and it was just so weird with beast boy and raven aged down)

supersons

a few issues (like 3) of justice league after hawkgirl joins. I got really bored with the batman who laughs stuff

like 20-30 issues of wonder woman (got tired of it swapping present and past every other issue, if i want to read it again its gonna be on physical copies not DC Universe)

anyway

character’s im most interested in are

damian wayne

cassandra cain (She shows up in batman and the outsiders right? Is she allowed to do anything cool or have good character development? I Love her but was not impressed with detective comics)

jaime reyes (I know he got a solo title i need to get the energy to try to read it im just so. blah about the decision to reset his character yet again)

simon baz and jessica cruz (already planning on finishing their duo series)

barbara gordon but NOT as batgirl and NOT able bodied. So I think I’m still SoL

Dick Grayson

I have heard a lot (not good) on Tom King’s Batman run* and glass’s teen titans run so I am NOT INTERESTED IN THOSE

my only real questions are

does damian appear in anything that is good or at least readable that I haven’t already read?

Is Cass done justice in Batman and the Outsiders?

Do Jaime Reyes fans consider it worth it to read the rebirth blue beetle?

Do Dick Grayson fans consider it worth it to read the nightwing rebirth? Alternatively I think he also appeared in a titans series?

*actually I did try to read 1 issue of this and closed it out of disgust
