DC announced that Cassandra Cain will get her solo ongoing comic again titled simply Batgirl.
Cass is back and she is a force to be reckon with. Tate Brombal of Green Lantern Dark is the writer of the series. Marvel artist Takeshi Miyazawa will join Brombal as the artist. Brombal expressed a ton of excitement to take on this fan-favorite character.
“Cassandra Cain has long been my favorite Bat-Family character, so I am seriously honored to be taking on her story—in the year of her 25th anniversary, no less. Get ready for family drama, long-buried secrets coming to light, and LOTS of martial arts ass-kicking the way only Cass can do. Batgirl is back in her own title, and the world won’t know what hit it.”
Miyazawa also talked about how stoked he is to be a part of the series. Batgirl will mark his first DC comic project after a long career illustrating Marvel books like Ms. Marvel and The Runaways.
“I’m so excited to be exploring the story of Cassandra Cain with Tate. She’s an intriguing part of the Bat-Family and I can’t wait to see all the twists and turns. I’m also honored to be drawing such a wonderful book as my first DC project!”
What’s Cassandra Cain Been Up To?
The new series will focus on Cass being hunted by a group of assassins. She will find help in the form of her estranged mother Lady Shiva.

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?!
