My two cents on the Batwoman thing...

Dear DC,

Tell me more about Batwoman other than the fact that she's a lipstick lesbian. Endear her to me.

Incredibly annoyed. I've got a whole 'nother entry dedicated to that.

In summary: I rather liked Cassandra Cain. She was a good character and was well on the way of being a great character whilst being written by Gabrych but was cut short by The Powers that Be over at DC. To his credit, Gabrych actually wrote what I thought to be a decent -- though not completely unforseen -- ending for her tenure and the title of Batgirl.

Then OYL Robin comes around and... well, yeah. SUCKTASTIC. As far as I'm concerned, Cassandra Cain has never appeared in OYL Robin and is still roaming the streets. I've come to the conclusion that DC hates their female characters with all the venom and hatred of an awkward and blueballed 14 year old boy.

Awesome! Thank you for taking the time and effort to try to save the character of Cassandra Cain. I'll post this over at the Girl-Wonder.org forums... I don't think you'll find a more receptive audience to possibly saving Cassie from a WiR-situation than this community!
