Definitely liking Cassandra as Batgirl. Shiva showing up was extra fun. Always enjoy seeing her.

I was a little iffy about Cassandra Cain as Batgirl, because for me Barbara Gordon is my Batgirl--and she always will be. I read Silent Running and enjoyed it but didn't love it. This was much better than the first volume, exploring her pain and struggle to become Batgirl, training with Oracle and Batman until she's ready. It's a darker story and really solid.
Puckett brings in some more of Cassandra's origins and develops her Batgirl mythology. She's no girl scout, seeking Batman's approval above all things or playing by the rules. She reminds me a lot of Damien, in fact.
So, while Cassandra Cain isn't the ultimate Batgirl for me, she's a good one and getting better.

Part of my massive Barbara Gordon Re-read which I had a glorious amazing time with. The art in the early Batgirl stuff was very touch and go to me, which made me wince a while reading through it, but I definitely appreciated the beginning of Cass' story, and Bab's involvement in that with Cass and with/against Bruce.

Cass is such an awesome character, but I just can't get into these books. Something about the storytelling comes off as a bit disjointed to me, so even though I enjoy the character I feel like there isn't that much going on. I think I'm going to have to give up on this run and just hope they bring Cass back for good.

I love this Batgirl the most. I've read almost all of her comics. I hated when her mind was translated into normalcy. I felt so bad for her! So when she had the chance to be herself again... Of course she would take the chance!
I also liked how it still told what happened to her without being out of place or boring. The author really integrated it into the story.

Do these books ever become more about Cass than about the dudes having manpain about her? Or have more Oracle and Cass?
