This is Cassandra Cain. She was trained to be a killing machine from birth. Cassandra is better martial artist than Batman (by his own opinion). Say something nice about her and her upcoming movie.
This is Cassandra Cain. She was trained to be a killing machine from birth...
I'm not sure of the point of this character
Jason but cuter
"Cheerful girl who has a death wish" was Petersen's original pitch.
Between this, the graphic novel and Outsiders (comic and Young Justice), I'm glad to see her getting some of the spotlight back. And it's interesting to see a whole new generation of fans getting into her as well. I hope it all leads to her getting a new solo series at some point in the future. Her mom is still cooler.
More like female Snake-Eyes but put into the Batman Universe..
She was always ever the only member of the Batfamily who fully "got it." The war. The mission. The power of fear. Even Dick never REALLY got it, he just got really good at faking it, as he himself admits in Morrison's Dickbats run. But Cass gets it, or she did before the New 52. This is probably why Bruce liked her so much, and why he was insanely overprotective of her.
Shes just DCs X-23 isn't she
This Cassandra is different, she's gonna be protected, mentored and trained by Harley Quinn.
Pretty much. But she has more depth.
Who's fucking Bruce Wayne, apparently.
Think she predates X-23.
More autism, if that's what you consider DEEP.
Predates but clearly influenced by
> Cassandra Cain first appearance in July 1999
> X-23 first appearance in August 2, 2003 (X-Men Evolution), comics in February 2004
Yep Cass was already four years in when Laura was created.
There has to be some baguely asian gymnast girls thry could've cast as her why thendough faced girl?
Gymnast girls may not speak English we-
They blew their load too early with the proper Asian actress.
I like Steph so by extension I also like Cass.
>protected, mentored and trained by Harley Quinn.
>Who's fucking Bruce Wayne, apparently.
Yeah, this shit is apparently happening.
So a more hand-to-hand oriented Hit Girl with another Bat-related parental figure. Camalan Cain is a rip off of the future
That woman is almost 30 years old. You know cass isn't even in her 20's right?
Remember that time 11 year old timmy Turner was played by 20 year old Drake Bell?
No, I remember when 20 year old Timmy Turner was played by 20 year old Drake Bell in those shitty movies where Timmy's a fucking manchild, dies in the end and turns into a fairy.
Unless you're thinking of something else
And? Are you aware that 95% of all teenage roles ever done have been done by mid 20s adults?
Cass is simply a cursed character, too bad because actually had the most potential of the Batfamily.
I had the Batman comics where Cass appear as Batgirl for the first time, it was drawn by Mike Deodato.
Name one Gotham related female character who HASN'T fucked or wanted to fuck the Bat.
Sound like you wanna jerk it to a teenage girl and not feel like a pedo
What’s up with chubby Asian girls in Hollywood, Last Jedi and now this.
Fun fact, cassie is played zuko's actor's niece
Harper Row. She is better than Bruce.
I always thought it was really interesting how similar Bruce and Cass were despite being opposites in most ways.
goddamn, Dante just doesn't age. He could still go back and play Rufio just as he looks now
who doesn't
how can she have a movie when she has never been in a batman movie and 99.9% of the public don't know her and no universe has been established for her to appear in
Introduced in the No Mans Land story, she was a good Batgirl until editorial fucked her up and they have struggled ever since
Key story of the Birds Of Prey movie is Harley, Huntress and Black Canary saving Cassandra from Black mask.
That and Cassandra is apparently the star of the film with Dinah being the other.
Sorry Cass...you are much better than the shit they keep portraying you as. People accept your nerfings because they're just so desperate to see more of you...kinda like males who watch DC WB shows: they eat shit out of desperation.
Too bad they nerfed this bond. Cassandra was never the same after the reboot.
I just hope that her backstory is intact, and there won't be some supernatural bullshit.
It appears there is 0 supernatural shit in this movie.
So Cass pudgyness could be explained by her rejecting David's teachings?
Cass has the perfect origin and story potential to be a fan favorite. Why won't they use it?
To be cool and entertaining. The fuck kind of idiotic thing is that to say?
>my mission is to protect life
>by saving mass murderers and sucking their dicks every day
Retarded.
>Cass is fit and athletic
>"Let's cast a fat actress to play her"
What goes through these psychopath's minds when they're sitting around the conference table and looking straight at a comic book?
The core concept of the character makes absolutely zero sense if she isn't athletic and capable of beating a grown man's ass. I don't understand how this movie is being made.
>looking straight at a comic book?
Wow you're giving them a lot of credit. It's probably more like "this character is asian, oh my fifth mistress's chubby niece would be perfect for this role"
I love Cass, so fuck that movie. What a waste.
>implying they look at the comic book
They probably just get documents with cliffnotes about the character.
Get ready for Cass to be Harley Quinn Jr.
maybe they cast her cause she can act
Casuals seemed to like MCU Spidey being mentored. Imagine if the DC people din't have a Babs as Batgirl fetish and introduced Cass to be mentored by Oracle and Bruce.
Was there ever a time she was Bruces' right-hand more than Dick or Babs were?
>delivers her lines perfectly
>goes back to the complimentary table and shovels jelly donuts into her mouth between scenes
What part of that screams "athletic enough to fight crime"?
Okay but she still doesn't really fit how the character looks in the comics.
Would that kind of film have to explain Tim Drake or just roll with it because everybody knows what a Robin is?
>Cass Cain
>not speaking English well
Sounds good.
Yep
Why did they chose such a godamn ugly actress for the role? This "ugly good, pretty bad" mentally is fucking retarded.
>Cass is now an obese Filipino
I guess things like the Luthor and Flash recent casting have made me numb to more bad casting choices.
I expect Harley to teach her swear words.
It certainly seemed like that was the case in the first half of Batgirl v1.
>It's 90s af bro
Been ready
>Cheerful girl who has a death wish
But that's nothing like Cass.
They kinda fill the same niche. Cass at least had the merits of not being overexposed and reset at each new arc like Laura.
what a leap of logic. You sound like a massive pedo in denial. Why else bring that on the table otherwise.
>Cass gets turned into fucking Honey Badger
>we will never get a Cass series drawn by Dowman or a mangaka great at drawing action like Daromeon or Taisuke Umeki
White girls tend to go into full seething fits towards Asian girls so I imagine it's fulfilling ethnic/gender diversity measures but with someone not attractive enough to cause the white leading ladies to feel threatened.
See the women (mostly white and surprisingly mostly liberal) who flipped out about Marie Kondo earlier in the year.
Cass is nothing like Jason.
She is a better character than Batman, with better fans.
My ex-wife started watching Asian horror films, which was a fucking weird turn for her at the time. After about a year and having seen the American Grudge 3 times, she admitted it was because I'd once slept with an Asian woman. Before we met.
I recommend Dream Home.
Perfect Blue too if she doesn't mind anime.
I... what?
I can't understand the correlation... was she getting off seeing asian women bring killed in horror movies?
Cass is a martial artist who barely speaks. You need someone in shape who can do convincing fight choreography and occasionally make a happy, sad or angry face to "act" as her.
You mean Scout user. Scout is her new codename.
ah yes, the giraffe-verse. Quite the stories.
> next year we're getting an actual Cass as Batgirl graphic novel.
How-- how is this possible?!
Disgusting yellow shit
Bruce and Barb arguing like divorced parents over what was best for Cass is still some of the best internal drama the Batfamily has ever had.
Didio must have been out sick the week this was approved.
>she's gonna be protected, mentored and trained by Harley Quinn.
This looks cool
Why is she being played by a filipino instead of an eastern Asian?
I'm actually going to kill you if this happens. You think I'm joking but I will do everything in my power to find out who you are and where you live if it gets announced. I will wrap my hands around your neck and not stop gripping until you are dead.
The last thing you're going to see is a fat, sweaty faggot from Yea Forums choking you out in an autistic rage.
because arr rook same
>She was trained to be a milking machine from birth.
Whut?
rip me I guess
A cute fat sweaty faggot from Yea Forums?
Some user here said that Margot Robbie purposely JUSTed all casting choices to make herself looks better, stuff like this make it seems real.
Asians don't age until they hit 50. Shit, that girl from Pacific Rim could do it.
Please elaborate.
Yeah she was really monomaniac about saving any and all human life back then. She ran headfirst into gunfire to take the shots herself, because if she had dodged the bullets would have killed the other gunman who had been attempting to kill her.
Christian Bale is a pretty good actor and he bulked the fuck up just to play Batman right.
I expect nothing and I'm still disappointed.
Margot is the producer, there is some old threads about this movie here and on Yea Forums were some user said that Robbie is casting ugly actress to the other roles to make her Harley looking better.
Black Canary should be a big flag about this.
It's stupid but it's inevitable, so I've been looking forward to seeing how it's handled.
Yeah, it’s pretty bad, WB has no clue, when something good like Aquaman or Shazam happens is more by accident than any sort of good planning.
Apparently, the plot is that Harley Quinn broke up with the Joker, Bruce Wayne/Batman helped her through it, Bruce Wayne/Batman is now "missing", and Harley Quinn feels she owns up to him to protect Gotham in his absence. So her and the Birds of Prey will defend Cass from Black Mask, because Cass knows where some diamonds are being hidden because she used to kill people for Black Mask.
There are pictures of Ben Affleck and Jared Leto look-a-likes as Bruce Wayne and the Joker.
Here's a set pic of a Jared Leto look-a-like.
SHE'S GOT MAH BACK
>There are pictures of Ben Affleck look-a-like as Bruce Wayne
prove it
i promise that if i ever gain a modicum of power within the comics industry i will do everything i can to kill Harley quinn and shove her corpse into the tiniest refrigerator imaginable.
It should be really interesting if she's seen him without the cowl on.
Does Harley know his secret identity in canon?
Seems like about half his rouges do, though they don't really care and think it's beneath them to try to burn down his house or something.
I don't understand how such a shitty movie started this whole push for a character that no one likes.
Nah, just make her into a straight up villain.
If you just kill her she's a martyr.
>Cass knows where some diamonds are being hidden because she used to kill people for Black Mask.
If this is really her role in the movie the actress really doesn't fit at all, how the fuck can that chubby little kid kill? and if she CAN kill, why would she need to be protected?
>Harley Quinn, Also producer; post-production
oh no
>a character that no one likes.
Do you mean Harley or Cass?
Because you're wrong either way, most people who've read the comics love Cass, and plebs and some people that read comics love Harley.
I am so fucking sick and tired of Harley Quinn you guys
I think you need to work on your reading comprehension, because I'm very clearly talking about Harley.
This shit doesn't even make any sense. She fucking helped the Joker kill Robin. Suicide Squad says so. This is INJUSTICE all over again.
And what the fuck, Batman is missing? Why?
>Harley Quinn Updates
Cass has a cool collection of hats.
>Birds Of Prey
>Batman is missing
Why the fuck do they keep doing this?
Do they not realize there is plenty of crime in Gotham and the DCU for the Birds Of Prey to go after? Hell, they're not even focused on Gotham in most stories. It should be like Alias.
Then again, fucking Harley Quinn has next to nothing to do with the team. So... Blech.
>because Cass knows where some diamonds are being hidden because she used to kill people for Black Mask.
We're all diamonds.
So sick of this Die Antwoord reject version of Harley.
I found this okay, but vastly overrated.
Now she's not trashy anymore, but some sort of 80's glamrock mom. I think this is her on a date with Bruce or whatever the fuck.
Glam rock can be trashy as fuck if not done right.
And that looks trailer trashy as fuck.
>Black Mask
>without a mask
No, I refuse to believe that anyone is stupid enough to have a Black Mask without the black mask.
To give Harley a morality pet.
One of my favorite things about Chuck Dixon's brief run on Batman and the Outsiders is the brief stretch where Cass leads the team. Not only does she essentially act like Batman, the artist even DRAWS her a little like Batman; she gets the same draping, Dracula cape treatment in a number of panels. It's really cool.
She looks silly
>Cass ever being an extension to steph instead of the other way around
I've never heard anyone say this.
I actually hope before I read those posts, now I have none.
Is she chubby? Just looks like she has gookface, which is deceivingly inaccurate for rest of the figure.
Eh...
>one rescue from petty thug
>makes a batman shrine in her room and reads articles about him all night
Jesus, that was easy.
Farmer Brown would fuck this bitch up while blowing his fat load up batbois tight ass
Snyder!Bats has that pupil-blowing, disconcertingly-obsessive-infatuation-at-first-sight effect on people.
Considering that pretty much everyone is susceptible to hero-worship, the extremely low odds of any one person getting mugged, and the even lower odds that batman himself would save you, it's not that weird.
I always appreciated how Cass's run honored Babs as the previous Batgirl.
But non of theother actress are ugly tho
She has a phd and kissed Ivy so she did nothing qrong.
I swear ppl want to bring it up that she has a phd when she fucked her way through college.
It was nice.
Best batgirl
Why is it so hard for you to accept Laura is, like many marvel characters, just a stolen DC idea?
Not like there's any strong competition
>”You like this right user?~”
>She says as she slowly crawls down the stairs slowly in pale white makeup and fake blood all over.
In all seriousness, why does this country go full spaghetti when asian girls actually do things?
This shit bothers me a lot
>she fucked her way through college.
Wasn't that retconned when she got popular?
Don't worry he has a black mask
The more I hear and see about this movie, the angrier I get. This has nothing to do with BoP or Cass. Fuck WB and Harley.
>They have merged the characters of Sin and Cassandra Cain and created a new character called Cassandra Cain
For what purpose?
>No Oracle because you gotta have Barbara in the Batgirl costume and she's been replaced with Harley Quinn who is dressing like an ostrich that fell in a dumpster
I don get it
>Black Canary is played by a black girl with a sidecut and a nose ring and no fishnets
But y tho?
Everything about this movie looks dumber and dumber.
>Black Canary is played by a black girl
Seems a bit on the nose to be honest.
>sidecut and a nose ring and no fishnets
In a world without Ollie (or where Ollie isn't into black chicks) she became a raging dyke and had no one to wear the fishnets for.
It’s a Harley Quinn/Margot Robbie movie first and foremost, all the rest is just to make Harley looking better in the movie.
> her stunt double is the same actress who was the X-23 stunt double in Logan.
Least they got something right.
We never gonna get this Cass Batgirl again, it hurts.
>It’s a Harley Quinn/Margot Robbie movie first and foremost
In the same way the first Pirates of the Caribbean movies were Jack Sparrow movies
To give some chubby pinoy girl related to another pinoy actor a job.
>lets just introduce extreme esoteric shit from the Batman comics with no explanation or backstory or preamble
>this will work perfectly
Is Warners being run by people with learning disabilities?
pushing that meme is going to crash so hard
Have you not been paying attention for the last fucking decade?
What is wrong with her face?
She is legitimately pretty ugly.
>Black Canary is played by a black girl with a sidecut and a nose ring and no fishnets
That is annoying.
The fishnets are one of the only things people remember about her costume.
Does she at least have a blonde wig?
Also was this decision entirely based around her having black in her name? Because that is what it feels like.
Yeah, this movie looks like box office disaster but they’re saying the budget is relative small for a Hollywood production.
I know it ain't super on topic, please bear with me. If you're looking for a cool martial arts film with a female asian lead, you ought to check out 2008 thai film Chocolate. An autistic girl with powerful martial art skills looks to settle her ailing mother's debts by seeking out the ruthless gangs that owe her family money and beat them all up.
