Cassandra Cain was the first ever Batgirl to get her own solo series back in 2000 after her spectacular debut in the No Man's Land event. It ran for over 70 issues before she eventually gave up the mantle to Stephanie Brown in 2009. Since that time, who "is" and "isn't" Batgirl became somewhat of a messy question before she, Stephanie, and Barbara Gordon decided to share the title in 2022's Batgirls. Now, after 15 years, Cass is taking center stage in her own Batgirl series once more.
When a deadly group of assassins shows up to kill Cassandra Cain, Lady Shiva must come to the rescue, and they’re forced to put their complicated past aside and work together as mother and daughter to ensure they make it out alive. Unfortunately, things are never as easy as they seem, and Batgirl must embark on a jaw-dropping, martial-arts filled adventure in her quest for truth and justice…and revenge?! This is a Batgirl unlike any other so don’t miss the opportunity to dive into the psyche of one of Gotham City’s deadliest fighters, while exploring her deep and complex relationship with her mother.
Written by Tate Brombal (Green Lantern Dark, House of Slaughter) with artist Takeshi Miyazawa (Ms. Marvel, Mech Cadet Yu), this new series will focus on Cassandra's rich history as the character celebrates her 25th anniversary.
Batgirl #1 releases November 6.
