Man remember when these were just considered totally acceptable things to write about Cass?
And people wonder why I hate Orphan.

Don’t really like batman and robin eternal but they kind of went off in the scene where Harper is like “we just saved the world!!!” and is ready on this being A Really Big Deal and Dick goes “yea that happens a lot” and immediately moves on

"Dick? A clearer version of what Batman was meant to be. Jason is willing to do what Batman can't, when the world needs it. Tim has a strategic sense I envy. I've never seen him move too early. Sometimes you do. But that might save you someday. I want you to decide for yourselves what you do--who you become. My job isn't to train you to make the same decisions I'd make. My job is to catch you, until you decide for yourself."

Books with Pictures: Batman and Robin Eternal (vol 1-2) (2015-2016)
Writers: James Tynion IV & Scott Snyder
In which I just decided to skip a bunch of arcs to get to the one I really wanted to read 🙈
I was just really in a Robin mood and I saw a screenshot on Instagram from this story arc that got my attention and I needed the context for this:
My ultimate thing is that I very much love seeing Batman be a dad, so I needed to see how he followed up with Dick’s confession of what he saw after being in contact with Scarecrow fear gas for the first time.
I was just too lazy to read Batman Eternal. I did have the basic understanding is that Dick was still working with Spyral but the bat family is aware that he’s alive. Oh, and Batman has amnesia.
I would say that this was overall enjoyable. Cassandra Cain makes her comeback in the New 52 in this story-- before it all gets rebooted again lol. Despite the title, Batman (in the present) remains mostly not present. The only glimmers of Batman we see is when we are taken back to Batman and (Dick) Robin's first case with the Scarecrow, via flashbacks, which I honestly don't mind. Bruce and Dick are my favorite Batman and Robin dynamic, so this was very much my taste 👌
This is a Robins story and I was happy to see them all working together-- even Damian making a last minute appearance.
As for the story, a villain, Mother whom Batman in the past tried to hide from Robin, returns many years later. Mother essentially uses traumatized children to become her army in cleansing the world and she offers Batman a “better” partner. In the present, she finally starts enacting her plans.
I love seeing Batfam have their Batfam moments and there is plenty of that here!
Overall rating: 4/5

Do you have any good canon interactions of Cass and Dick? I've found like. One instance and that was from BWFA so I was wondering if there were more
The only instances of Dick and Cass really interacting with each other that I know of outside of WFA are these nice moments:
Batman: Family #7
Nightwing (1996) #81
Batman and the Outsiders (2007) #14
Batman and Robin Eternal #1

N52 Steph's reaction to her first encounter with Nightwing is so relatable:
I mean I would also drop my shopping bag and stare at his glorious ass.
In comparison, Dick isn't so thrilled the first time he meets her:
