I hope Cassandra Kane (whoever she is) is going to star in the graphic ovel (whatever one of those are)!Simone offered some hints at upcoming projects, including an upcoming, as yet unannounced graphic ovel with Ethan Van Sciver, that is, Simone said, "literally the best work of Ethan's life." Simone is also working on some young adult work, not necessarily in comics, and hinted at future projects involving the character of Cassandra Kane."Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain" Steven Pinker

Yeah. I never heard of this Cassandra Kane character.
Why aren't you reading Winter Soldier? You should be!

Maybe she's the mysterious third Summers brother.... I mean Kane sister. She's currently trapped in a massive living island and will come back to wreak a terrible vengeance on Kate and Elizabeth!

I heard that the OGN is a Batman/Plastic Man team-up. That's just a rumor though so take it for what it is. Originally Posted by Sunbird

I hope that's really Cassandra Cain they're talking about! They probably spelled her name wrong. Tons of writers do this all the time.

Oh, Gail. I wish they'd put you on Wonder Woman for the new 52... :(

I was really hoping they were going to announce a new artist for Batgirl, but I guess I won't be picking it up anytime soon :/

I hope they don't reboot Kate to make her Cassandra!

Maybe Cassandra is now Kate's long-lost sister!

If there's one thing I need more of in my comics it's diversity. I don't want good stories or characters. I don't need good art. In fact, I don't need art at all. That's just some guy forcing his preconcieved notions of how people look down my throat. As long as these books continue to have exactly one of every race and sexual orientation, then they are good. In fact they change my life.

So, no plans to make Barbara Gordon a less dreary, insecure, depressing mess of a human being then?
