SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Even in a world without Batman, Cassandra Cain echoes his mission perfectly across Gotham. While every member of the Bat-Family carries Batman's legacy in their own unique way, the third woman to carry the Batgirl mantle in official DC canon — behind Barbara Gordon and, briefly, the Huntress — may do so better than anyone else.
Cassandra being able to successfully conduct what Batman is all about without Batman having to exist speaks to a few things about her character. Not only has she successfully replicated Batman's crimefighting formula, but her pursuit of vengeance began long before Cassandra Cain ever met Batman. Cassandra debuts in Batman #567 by Kelley Puckett, Damion Scott, John Floyd, Gregory Wright, and Todd Klein.
Cass merely adopts Batman's moral code to guide a furious vengeance she's always had, but carrying his code allows her to keep his memory alive. That memory remains alive in her mind and through the fear she dishes out on the streets.
