LIKE LOOK AT THIS!! Stephcass being “yes” “no” “YES” lmao.

Stephcass basically: “nuh-uh, yuh-huh” lmao

Then Babs telling Cass to hit her harder next time cuz she’s sick of their shit. “Get a room” is what she really means lol. Augh Babs the absolute queen you are.

It is really funny that they’re just arguing in the clock tower as she’s actively working. Like this bitch is busy she doesn’t wanna hear these two teens argue about them hitting each other (tho Steph will never actually get a hit on Cass let’s bfr, lol)

Please read Batgirl (2000)

Bg '24 has the opposite problem to BoP, where Brombal is so caught up in The Lore that it impedes the pacing and enjoyability of the story. Shiva continues to be a major issue, like I don't think Brombal understands the core themes of her story (or even the core message of her relationship with Cass!!). He's clearly read all of it but the understanding and execution are not quite there, like Shiva to Cass should represent freedom!! She is not the right character to pick for storylines about heritage or destiny!!! And frankly I don't even like the themes Brombal has picked but alas. Sadly it kind of is Tec 2016's fault, Cass-Shiva has never recovered from that (sigh). Love Tenji and Jaya and I wish the issues were more focussed on the new characters and less on the ghost of Shiva, like Tenji & Jaya are both such good foils for Cass!! Let them shine!! Also absence of Babs + David continue to suck but again might be editorial's fault. Kind of interested to see Spirit World arc though because we get 1 step closer to Tai'Darshan everydayyy

So yeah they both have their ups and downs, but I am so grateful for both of them existing because people are being introduced to Cass that way and Cass nation only grows bigger ❤️❤️. I think the best Cass characterisation we've gotten post-2020 is definitely still Ram V's 'tec and to a much lesser extent the back half of Outsiders, Bryan Hill should write a Cass story he loves that girl SO much. My biggest wishes for 2026 Cass are:

David Cain reappearance for real

Babs Gordon reinstated in her proper role in Cass' life (Bryan Hill you were SO CLOSE!!!)

Asian woman gets to write her for an ongoing 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Steph-Cass conflict please please please please please

Gotham!!!!

Bruce-Cass adoption recognition and more moments ON MY HANDS AND KNEES FOR THIS

Pipe dream of Tai'Darshan return...
