Then in Batman: Joker War Zone #1, Steph and Cass realized that a city in crisis needed a symbol of hope, so they redesigned their costumes to include the Bat symbol. In Detective Comics #980, an OMAC reminded Stephanie and Cassandra of their forgotten Batgirl careers, hoping it would break the two heroes, but instead it helped them realize just how high they could fly. Not only have fans been campaigning for it, but the characters themselves were also championing the cause!
To recap, ever since Rebirth in 2016, Stephanie Brown has been operating as Spoiler, while Cassandra Cain has been calling herself Orphan, but I fondly remembered each of their days as Batgirl. When she does, Babs addresses the heroes as “Batgirls,” which is huge. I would read an entire graphic novel with nothing but Batman and his allies passing time during a road trip.Ĭass and Steph’s fun is interrupted when Barbara contacts them about a case. I love seeing the Bat-Family kick butt, but sometimes it’s fun to just watch them ribbing each other the way typical families do. Stephanie teases Cassandra about her aloof nature, while Cassandra makes fun of Stephanie’s habit of “spoiling” things. “Wildcard” is written by Marguerite Bennett, illustrated by Sweeney Boo, and features some great banter between Steph and Cass. All of those comics have been great, but the cherry on top this month was “Wildcard,” a fun adventure starring Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, Barbara Gordon and a surprise guest. Issue #5 features the latest chapters in an ongoing Jason Todd story that really gets to the heart of his relationship with Batman, a Tim Drake story where the Boy Wonder finds himself at a personal crossroads and a Grifter tale that sets up…well, we don’t want to spoil it. Hopefully, you’re reading Urban Legends because this under-the-radar Bat-book has been consistently excellent since it debuted last spring. Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown are both Batgirl again.ĭid that feel good to read? Because, I’m not going to lie, it felt really good to write! This development has been a long time coming, but it was solidified last week in Batman: Urban Legends #5.
