both Cass’s introduction in Batman (1940) #567 and Batgirl 2000 really hammered in the Cass-dog parallels (in the form of symbolizing how David Cain violently stripped Cass of her personhood) but looking back it’s such an insane way to tell your audience that the protagonist’s abusive father from hell will always love her unconditionally
Batman (1940) #567
Batgirl (2000) #71
Batgirl (2000) #22
