Being Someone Who Lives In A Completely Different Timezone From The USA, It’s So Fun To See My American

Idk about you, but it’s very important to me that Cassandra Cain has a scratchy and sore sounding voice paired with an accent that is completely unique.

Like, that girl was homeless and wandering the US for around 9 years! Pairing that with the fact she didn’t use her voice often/at all for the first 17 years of her life then of course her voice will sound weird from the disuse!

I know we're all caught up in the euphoria of Tate Brombal's Batgirl run but I unfortunately have to remind you that at this very moment Tom King is giving us some of the most dogshit Lady Shiva writing ever.

Seriously, what is this? She wouldn't say that. You can tell this man has no respect for her characterisation in The Question (1987).

Orphan breaks my heart because she has no swag. Like okay the big pants and the hood are fun and maybe they would work if she was like a solo hero in an action film but as an ensemble cast member she looks like Background Assassin #3. Even Tim’s “the Drake” persona looked like less of red shirt. She doesn’t even have a logo. Like Black Bat was stupid but it also served campy superhero vibes. And obviously nothing can beat Batgirl. Batgirl was so perfect because it was so clearly a derivative of Batman’s costume that showed her allegiance to him and marked her as a Gothamite even when working with other heroes but still had the unique full mask with the stitch mouth that made her easily recognizable and all together cuts a shadowy mysterious figure that is immediately visually interesting. Orphan gives me absolutely nothing. And the name sucks.

I never used to check my email. Then I discovered AO3

repeat after me: Cass is NOT a lamp standing in the corner watching the other bats do funnies, she IS the funnies, she HAS a personality and it’s a GREAT one filled with MISCHIEF AND WHIMSY. say it again.

He looks like he’s about to breathe all the oxygen and leave none for us 😭😭

What is this frame?😭 why’d they do ma boi Billy like this?

It’s easy to talk about how 17 was a fucked up age for Tim but have you seen Dick?

Yeah, when she was little, David would lace Cass's baby bottles with various small doses of poison to build up an early immunity. On an unrelated note, normal milk tastes weird for her.

Sometimes I think Gotham should just save time and throw you directly into the Asylum the minute you get your doctorate.
