It's good! I respect any list that puts Batgirl at the top. But seeing Absolute Superman at the bottom hurts me a little ngl

The first 25 issues of this run are peak (aside from the questionable America's Most Wanted arc). But this run falls off hard as it goes into Infinite Crisis territory and never really recovers afterward.

But the middle of her arc is where it didn't quite work for me. Handwaving away Linda's postpartum depression by having her just go back to her usual self right after Kadabra's spell gets broken felt very rushed to me.

Her arc starts off really strong in the first six issues; I loved the insight we got into her perspective on things. And the payoff in issue 12 with the reveal that the Resident was the missing parts of her? Chef's kiss it made me believe in love again

I hope we get more focus on Linda going forward in Spurrier's Flash. While he's definitely the best writer for her since Waid, the resolution to her part in the first arc felt a little bit underwhelming to me.

Yes I know it's bad. But it leads into Outsiders 2003 and I'm about to read that so I figured why not? It's only three issues

What a journey.
(From Batgirl #73 by Gabrych and Mhan) Narration: Once upon a time... there was a girl. Born to be something unlike the world had ever seen. A dancing hunter. But she didn't want that. And so, she ran away. Hungry and desperate, she found salvation in the dark flap of wings. She thought she was a bat. But she came to find she wasn't that either. She was only a runaway girl... named Cain.

I'm losing it
(From Batgirl #71 by Gabrych and de la Fuente) Shiva: "Heroes are forever. The rest of us are just part of the story." She walks into the blizzard, carrying a dying Cass. The world goes white, and suddenly it's Stephanie Brown holding Cass in her arms instead." Cass: "Stephanie? Am I--? Oh, no. Did I--?" Steph: "Yes. And it's okay. You saved them. Now, shhhh... Lemme tell you a story."

What the hell is Wally wearing 😭😭 He does NOT have that shit on
(From Batgirl #71 by Gabrych and Mhan) We see the roster of the Justice League Elite, including Cass as Kasumi, Green Arrow, the Flash, and... a bunch of characters I don't recognize because I haven't read that run lol. Cass, narrating: "I had a real team, once. I wasn't 'Batgirl.' We saved the world."

They need to bring back this dynamic yesterday
(From Batgirl #67 by Gabrych and Garza) Babs: "Cassandra. I know you don't want to talk. But we need to." Cass: "Why?" Babs: "Because, well, you're very special to me." Cass: "Why?" Babs: "Do you even have to ask?" Cass: "Right now... yes." Babs: "Because you're... you. You make me know change is real. You found something you believed in and followed it with all your heart. It's beautiful, really." Cass: "But you worry." Babs: "Yes. Yes, I do. I worry you'll get hurt... or worse. I mean, poor Steph..." Cass: "Don't. Talk. About. Her." Babs: "Dammit, Cassandra, don't shut me out." Cass: "You did it to Batman." Babs: "That's not... is that what this is about? Look, what happened between me and Bruce is... between us. You and I are something else. I care about you. And this isn't just an ex-librarian, ex-Batgirl thing. It's a friend thing. You gotta learn to read. You'll never take over for him if you don't." Cass: "How'd you-?" Babs: "Because I know you. Now, since we have a little time, I wonder if you'll indulge me..."

PEAK.
(From Batgirl #65 by Gabrych and Mhan) Cass walks away after beating her father, David Cain, to a bloody pulp. She left behind a flower and a note for him saying "Dad," for Father's Day. David, as he bleeds on the floor: "I love it."

Loved how this story used Cass and Rose as parallels
(From Batgirl #64 by Gabrych and Garza) Cass: "Which is about-- another ten minutes. Unless-- You save her. NOW." She yanks the sword out of Rose Wilson, and Slade rushes to take her into his arms and run off to get medical attention for her. Cass, internally: "She needs him. But he needs her more. Without her he's alone. She'll get better. And come for me. To finish the job-- her father started."

(From Batgirl #62 by Gabrych and Garza) Cass stares down Deathstroke. Cass, internally: "But he doesn't He holds back. He wants something more. Her success. He wants pride." Cass, externally: "You're pathetic."
