Appearance list

Basically, as the title. I want to make sure I get every appearance she's made in print.

So does anyone have a full list?

Can we talk about Batman & Robin Eternal?

Like....augh, I really have mixed feelings towards the title. Also, spoilers below.

The hype at the beginning was good, and from the interviews, I expected Tynion to deliver some Pucket-esque back-to-basics Cass, but I think that Tynion and the other writers only took away the 'Cass can punch' part of the book. If they read it at all(Tynion said he did, but...the writing makes it look otherwise).

They introduced her with a bit of a bang(fighting-wise), but kinda failed to develop her at all when it came to character, motivations, emotions...etc.

Like, they did show us that she was mysterious, and gave a glimpse of her innate understanding of the others(coming from her body-reading abilities), but it was only until Genevieve Valentine that Cass got to show her empathetic, caring nature(which to me, is really the heart of the character--along with her funny badassery). The magic all went away when Valentine left though, and I'm not sure about how I like the direction of the rest of the story telling.

I mean, of course Cass would refuse to take a knife to her dad(also, they kinda butchered Cain's characterization. He was a caring, if misguided and abusive dad under Pucket(lets not bring up the horror that was Beechen), but here, Orphan(egh, the name) seems like a two-dimensional character. He's just a shallow lackey with moves, and the previous David Cain didn't play like that.

Also, what bothers me the most is how...passive(?) Cass is. I mean, looking at her revealed 'history', it looks like they made a mass-murderer(as in more than one body count) of Cass, and I'm like...how has our girl not run away from all that??? I get that she played secret agent to Bruce, but still?! I dunno. It feels like her innate motivations are different from previous Cass. I mean, both have the theme of redemption, but the qualities that make up both characters(pre and n52 Cass) seem to be different. n52 Cass seems more malleable to evil, compared to old Cass who, while she obeyed orders, still stuck to her guns about stuff. And most of all, her no killing rule was firm, so I don't get how she could or might've been made to kill more than one person at all.

So yeah...this is me roughly hashing out my feelings about this. Its not really articulate, because tbh, before writing them down, I couldn't really pinpoint what was bugging me.

I wanted to post this here instead of in other comic book forums, because well, it feels like a safe space to discuss about Cass. You wouldn't be visiting this lil place unless you were really a fan of hers.

tldr; what do you guys feel about Cass's portrayal in B&RE? I really want to hear your opinions.
