In honor of Bonnie and Lola and THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING we continue our 30 Days of Superheroines!

July is Cass Cain* aka Batgirl’s 13 year anniversary…so what better day for her to be Superheroine of the Day than Day 13?!

*I went with any version of Cass I could find that I liked!

A tie this week between this fantastic classically heroic Justice Society of America #54 cover by Darwyn Cooke

And this lovely Dustin Nguyen Gates of Gotham #5 variant, which nicely features my girl Cass Cain as Blackbat.

I’d love to give this week’s panel of the week to the reappearance of Cass Cain in Batman Inc. #6, since I’m pretty excited (though also super nervous) about her return to the Bat books as “Blackbat”.  But in truth, I don’t love the costume – the shredded cape is just ridiculous – even more ridiculous than regular capes – which we all know are ridiculous, but which at least look badass.  It also doesn’t really “look” like Cass.  i.e. if a caption didn’t tell me it was her, I’d have had no idea.  See?

So I can’t really pick that as a “panel of the week” much as I would have liked to.  HOWEVER, I can pick this creepy awesome bit from Batman Inc. #6:

So my love of Cassandra Cain is well documented…check here and here if you need reminding or convincing.

And I’d like nothing more than to see her back in comics doing her thing on the regular again.  I’d personally like an ongoing, though I’d settle for a really great mini-series that rooted her back into our universe (and the minds of her ENTIRE FAMILY) and then some ongoing supporting roles in other books (Batman, Batman Inc., Red Robin, Birds of Prey, Batgirl…all of these are books with room – or room that could be made – for Cass Cain). Ideally I’d like Cass to be a Bat for the new enterprise that is Batman Inc., or alternatively for her to take up the Nightwing mantle or to come up with her own alternative persona as her brothers Dick, Tim, and Jason have and have her own book…but again, I’d settle for any path that began the effort to bring her back.

Regardless, if you want her back…go here now and sign the petition.  Let’s get a crazy insane number of signatures!
