No it's beter she be allowed to forge her own identity. Like Nightwing homself she needs to find her own path without relying soley on someone elses title

especially now that she's Blackbat.

Yeah Pretty much. All she needs now is a book where she can get regular appearances. So being on the roster of a real team book or her own book.

well she is supposed to be a regualr in Red Robin as I understand. Witch is cool. I always liked her and Tim as a duo.

well it's still a step in the right direction.

I sure hope DC isn't silly enough to bring her back and then just let her languish with occasional guest appearances in other books. I think there's a lot of excitement about her character right now (the fact that there's already a ton of Black Bat fanart proves this), and it'd be mighty disappointing to just have her show up in Red Robin once every six months, and maybe get mentioned in Birds of Prey every now and then.

My one fear about her new role is that they'll use "but she's in Hong Kong!" as an excuse for her to never appear in any books. But I know I write DC letters about every month telling them how I want to see more of the character, so hopefully other people are doing that too and we'll see her in a stable role soon.

Lets see what FP does to shake things up. Also suggest asking at SDCC.

Exactly, what's the next step after Gates and Red Robin for Cass?

There is none that we know of yet. but then again we don't know anything about post flashpoint plans so. Still they brought her back so I have hope she might get a solo or be on a team book.

She's pretty much always been a solo hero, she did some team-related work, but generally operated on her own.

I mention it purely because most teens have way better shots at a team book slot then their own solo title.

Right, but they also have the highest mortality rate (only very specific setting goons have a higher chance of dying) when attached to those teams, I don't want to see Cass become a victim of being in a Teen Titans book (again).

What if she appears in a one shot sometime in the fall or winter? Or maybe she will be popping up in Birds of Prey or Batgirl?

Though be warned, it's painful to anyone with an IQ above 70. Also: I'm sort of sorry for posting it, attempting to read it made me physically nauseous.
