#Editorial interference with Cass makes it hard to chart a proper arc from the end of her Batgirl run to now.

[aingeal98]

I'm so firmly team Cass is Bruce's favourite but also equally as firmly on team This Is Not Exactly A Good Thing. He loves going on missions with her. His standards for her are insanely high. He'll buy her whatever she asks for. He enables all her worst impulses. He's protective. He's smothering. Cass asks him for a plane because she wants to fight a shadowy government on the other side of the world, he'll give it to her. If she doesn't check in for six months he'll just assume everything is fine. He cares so much. He needs so much therapy. He sees himself in her. He struggles to let her be herself outside the Bat.

You ask a regular batfam member and they'll tell you how they move in perfect sync, how he smiles proudly at her whenever she takes bad guys down, how he trusts her judgement and skills. It's enough to make anyone a little bit jealous, how easily she seems to gain his approval.

You ask Barbara Gordon and she puts her head in her hands and let's out a deep, long sigh.
