Cassandra Cain
Daughter of Lady Shiva
Trained by Ras Al Ghul
Has good morals
Get this girl more popularity!!!
Cassandra cain deserves an R rated movie like John Wick.
I guess you got close enough
What about Birds of Prey?
@@xxkodiwolfxx8058 nah, that version was horrible
@@Colbrax Yes, it was😂
Instead we got a pick pocket chick.
I so want a movie about Cassandra Cain.
Ditto
She’s the daughter of lady shiva. And is the 2 or 3 best fighter in the DC universe. I think she’s even better than Batman himself
She is better. Way better according to Batman's own words
Yeah she is a better fighter than batman, she’s dope
well if you look at it, both were trained by the same technique, except Cassandra learned it before she could speak.. so i would say Cassandra is better
In hand-to-hand combat, she outclasses Batman. He might have a chance due to gadgets and experience in an all-out conflict, but even Bats can not take her straight on.
Seb The ice man chill bro, don’t take it too hard, I wouldn’t say she is she’s a very well written character, her abilities have a rich story behind it. A Mary Sue is a woman character who is strong because she’s a woman.
Too bad they butchered Cass in the birds of prey movie 🗿
Tia Melancholy she was the only character I really didn’t care about in this movie they ruined her character
I was so disappointed in that
Let's face it the whole dang movie sucked
Yeah, that really piss me the Fuck off
That was a fucking disgrace!
A godamn outrage!
I hope that the next Batman cartoon they eventually make they incorporated Cassandra Cain.
Double flores She is in young justice
@@NEARReiCtor8799 For a split second. Still, I absolutely loved it. She's my third favourite Batfamily member, after Bruce and Tim.
She’s playing a big role in Young Justice Season 4
@@loganrobson8624 I haven’t watched Young Justice since it got cancelled by Cartoon Network.
Okay that’s not true, I only watched one episode, was bored as hell. And keep in mind, I was a kid when that aired, it’s hard to bore kids but somehow it happened. And I refused to watch Young Justice ever since. More of a teen titans fan anyways.
@@doubleflores8350 It got waaaaay better after S1, which I still like.
I really like this style of narration. Almost like alfred is narrating 👍
ikr its very nice
I don't know what is it in me but i just found out about Cassandra Cain in 2020 and omg i fell in love with her at first site lol..., she deserves so much more imo! she is got soo much potency ! , daughter of lady Shiva ! trained by Batman ! , SHE should be the future protagonist of Batman , she is dark , extremely capable and can make worthy legacy of Batman imo . I only hope writers would realize this ..
I love how her signature move is just punching people by their necks XD.
She would make a good batman game protagonist though. She would have a unique mechanic where she could just kill enemies or subdue them like Batman would. Killing moves would instantly kill low ranking enemies and would cause very high damage to higher ranked enemies.
Subduing moves would be much harder and would require combos to be done.
If Cassandra kills enough enemies, an achievement would pop up saying "Daddy's proud".
If she manages to not kill a single enemy throughout the entire game, the achievement would say "Welcome to the Bat Family".
I personally would love if this was real
They should make Yifei liu as casandra Cain. She has the charisma, the looks, English speaking and martial arts stunt. It’s a perfect quality for a live action Cassandra Cain
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I love Crystal Liu Yifei for the same reason I like Cassandra Cain. It's the same energy.
Epic. I'm now a fan of Orphan. The movie does not do this character justice.
What A shock A DC movie not doing A character justice. Did not see that coming.
At least the version of her in Young Justice is way more accurate - even though they still changed a lot, like having Shiva raise her and cutting her vocal chords completely.
For those whinging about the actress in birds of prey, back off, blame the writers and casting director if you don't like how the character was portrayed and for those targeting the actresses weight, just don't, it makes you look pathetic.
It's actually the WB executives who decided it. The writers wanted to make her Comic Book Accurate, but the guy's in charge said "No".
She is THE BEST FIGHTER in all of DC comics and is has A heart that helps her be the best too. Well also the if looks could kill ? She has that down to A art form.
I first saw Cassandra Cain at the injustice game on ios. She was actually one of my favorite characters in that game. Even though she was just a skin.
Cool character didn’t know she was this deep.
She was also supposed to be Batman's true successor. And she's officially Bruce Wayne's adopted daughter.
@@jeramahia123 wow didn't know that they should team her up with Damian in a animated movie.
I really liked Cassandra Cain. I wish she was seen more!
She is my favorite batgirl
One of my top 10 DC characters
poor Two-Face... that kid traumatized that guy for life.....
I wanna see her vs Damien since they both were born in the league and are both bat fam 👀
She has fought Damian. Twice. Both times had Damian thrown on the ground in just 2 panels.
He might have been her equal... when she was 5.
Damian is skilled, yet Cassandra is definitely on a whole other level.
I read No Man’s Land a few years ago and knew nothing about Cassandra Cain, but I loved every time she appeared. And she wasn’t there, I wish you would show up. Her costume was awesome.
Cassandra Cain is amazing
THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!!!!!!
Then why the hell was she speaking in the Harley Quinn birds of prey
Its a diffirent version of her story in that movie
They should have her in Gotham nights the video game that’s coming out next year that would be great for her
Still hoping for a DLC of her or something. They keep using Babs as Batgirl when she isn’t nearly as interesting as she is as Oracle.
Best DC character ever.
No
Then BOP ruined her.
She's in there?
@@waheedsaeed5978 Yea, she's the girl who ate the diamond.
Such a horrible way for her to make her live action debut.
It did? I didn't know a film can ruin decades of comic book stories. Last time I checked, all of her stories are still available to read.
This is one of those times I feel so conflicted, because as an Asian, though Cassandra Cain is cool, she's basically stereotypes. The emotional "stunnedness" is a stereotype of Asian children, for example. I do think Cassandra Cain has a lot of potential, but there needs to be changes in order for her to not be a caricature of the 'strong Dragon Lady' stereotype. And having not only an Asian actor, but an Asian director, can really help smooth over the hurtful and problematic parts of her that unfortunately still exist. This new idea of Cassandra Cain is a really really exciting - and plus, if you don't like them, you don't have to consume any more of the content - but I wish people would see why this is actually probably done with the intention of adding realness and reliability to Asian portrayals in the media 😅
Birds of Prey turn her into a joke!
Who needed to shit.
It'll be interesting to see how they incorporate Cain into Birds of Prey when the movie comes out in a couple months!
They've ruined her
@@arronshepp91 How so..?
@@blaxpoitation8528 because instead of being a badass fighter with the ability to know what her opponent will do, she's a chubby little gobshite who is just a Harley fangirl.
Blax Poitation I saw the movie today and I don’t wanna be rude to the 13 year old girl who plays her. But she was the worst thing in the movie.
Rowon OB She was the star of the movie, it is all leading to Batgirl on Full DC film
Hopefully the dceu makes up for what they did and includes most of her origin story later on in her future
DC just launch a new title that reinstates all the events that happened before the New 52 reboot, including Cassandra's time as Batgirl. She's now Batgirl again and in her old costume.
You think the next animated DC movie would feature Cassandra Cain in the next Batman movie?
7:13-7:24 No, I don't think we need to talk about that.
What an absolutely wretched retcon that was.
This is really good. You've done a great job with the origins of DC characters. Could you do Red Hood's next?
Thank you so much for the support. I have Red Hood on the to-do list! Stay posted!
This is the reason I really love Cassandra Batgirl she's like another Batman I love her the most
She's definitely the only other member of the Batfamily who inspires fear and the "creature of the night" vibe.
Thanks so much for recommending the comics! I think shes really underrated and definitely deserves more spotlight!!
Lady Shiva was also defeated by Richard Dragon. Twice! Including Batman and Tim Drake as well!!!!
Tim Drake drugged her before their fight. Batman admits he hasn't beaten Shiva in a straight honest fight. Both Batman and Tim were trained by Shiva.
And with Richard Dragon, that was before she was technically Shiva - as Dragon was one of her teachers in the past. And in the new title, their roles are reversed, and it is Shiva who trains and even kills Dragon.
@@jeramahia123 Version of the story is inaccurate. Tim Drake defeated Shiva in weapons training, when she training him, and defeated her again when he was hype up on the the plant adamilla. Same plant that gave Dava superpowers, the character that Shiva went around the world chasing after killing the armless and legless master(her teachers). Post-crisis Batman never knew who the hell Shiva was and she took him down in matter of seconds. Pre-crisis was individually defeated by Batman when she was mind controlled by Gorilla Grodd. All the same, despite being mind controlled, her skill's was still the same. It was confirmed!!!! And speaking of Richard being killed by Shiva, he took her down twice. Before, Richard Dragon was no where close too Shiva in skill, when Bronze Tiger started training him. Afterwards? Richard Dragon just happen to be worlds greatest h2h combatant. Despite defecting from the circle of 6, he trained most of them as well. Even when Shiva killed him? Richard Dragon wanted Shiva too kill him. Before?! He turned Neron deal against him and he ended up bringing him back to life. After Shiva struck the death blow!!! That whole match up? When he struck a bargain for commissioner Gordon and Connor Hawke too defect from the Burmese border. He actually defeated Shiva in pure skill alone. And was bout to kill her with her own technique.
And speaking of Batman fighting Shiva? Shiva even said it herself that if Batman gave into his killer instinct, that he will defeat her in a duel. Vice versa? Batman said the same thing about Cassandra Cain, that if he fought her all out, she'll defeat him. Daughter surpass the mother big time. And speaking of Shiva being taught by Richard Dragon, that was only during the early issues of comics when Batman actually fought and stalemated Richard Dragon one on one, during their first encounter. He was training under Bronze Tiger, and took Shiva as a student as well. Newer versions?! Shiva and Richard Dragon was only frenemies no more, and no less than that. That was during the time when she actually went around world killing the best fighter's she can find(Connor Hawke is included as well). Arcourse (pre-crisis)? Cassandra Cain actually whoop her twice in a role( Post-crisis manage the same feat again). Pre- crisis? Batman only went too Shiva too gain back his fighting instinct that he lost, when Bane broke his back. Why Shiva? She was the 3rd best fighter in the world, and Batman did not want too travel around the world again seeking instructors to train him again. And during their training sessions when Batman actually defeated her, Shiva told Batman himself, that, he'll have a chance of beating her. If he gave into his killer instinct. Despite Batman encounters with Shiva? She always acknowledge the fact that, she can be defeated by Batman, of chooses too let loose. But, Shiva feat's does make the indomitable fighter in all of DC base on what she can do. After all? Despite Ra's harassing Batman when he gets a chance, he has complete detail knowledge of Shiva abilities, and will never cross her, even if he gets a chance. Post crisis Ra's was stupid enough to do so. Arcourse, he used foul tactic's and took Shiva out with sniper rifle. Due too the fact that he was admittedly afraid of her in head to head competition. Shiva does earn her respect as the most feared antihero, and villain in DC period.
PLEASE DO STEPHANIE BROWN SOON! AKA SPOILER!
Cassandra Cain should have her own show it would be called the outsiders vs shadows with 5 seasons and she would be in second episode of season 1 as Batgirl then in season 3 she would become black bat since she gave up her suit and then in season 5 she would become Orphan
Could you imagine how cool a movie of T.V series on this character especially done right
Birds of Prey ends with Her story arc
They should do a movie were all Bats come togther
I see what you're saying: but it's worth noting that the Asian and Disability communities have some important thoughts about the troupes and stereotypes actually used in the making of Cassandra Cain. She ends up more as an amalgamation of "badass ideas", instead of seeming like an actual person that one could relate to.
Also, another very important point I think is this is one of the first times an actual Asian influenced (the director) the representation of Cassandra Cain, an Asain - so there's probably more thought put into this than what people are assuming, and it might be worth seeing where this character ends up. I get there's a lot of love for this character, but the fact remains that quite a few things about her is problematic - and rather than not seeing the character ever come to life because of the problematic origins, I would prefer something. And I'm excited to see what an Asian woman will bring to the idea of Cassandra Cain - especially because Cassandra is probably someone that can become good representation for a group of people that may not have known she even existed !
I only knew her origins from Batman Eternal
Awesome story on Orphan
Thank you so much!!
Gr8 Narration awesome Video
Superb storytelling
Awesome ! 😎👍
cassandra is basically DC version of X23, IMO
Nice!
thank you man
Fantastic!
Her batsuit is honestly scarier than Batman’s
True
It’s the best in the family. Besides Bruce’s Batman Inc suit imo.
I was in the Comics store business when she was around, but she sold so poorly to my regulars and was also not very well liked at all, that I would order maybe 2 of her book, and end up stuck with them. I don't know how it was in other shops, but I worked in Comics shops for 24 years and the only Batgirl my customers would accept was Barbara Gordon! And they thought it was 🐂something that she was in a wheelchair. In addition to all the scientists in the Super Hero community, there was Martian, Kryptonian, Rann, Thanagarian, New Genesis, Oa'an, and 30th Century technology available! Barbara shouldn't have been in a wheelchair a week! Especially since in Elseworlds just making her a Green Lantern worked! Anyway, I didn't read her comic either, she never sold for me in any store I worked at, and fans even called 🐂something on her being Lady Shiva's daughter, because no one would believe Shiva was anywhere near that old. So, as a result, I learned a lot from this video because I never really paid attention to the character. Thank you for all your hard work! I hope I don't seem horrible, I am just a guy who was reading comics since 1964, had access to comics from 1941 to when I started, and also I worked as manager and eventually owner of Comic book stores from 1984 to 2008. Reboots have totally changed things and stories. My 70 years of comic knowledge has become almost meaningless.
Please do one on Raveger (Rose Wilson)
I love the music
another character i've come to love!
I love your videos Oregon
Great video!
Thanks for the support!!
Comic Origins No problem!
Absolute badass!
She's amazing 👏
I think she has hands down the best Batgirl design, her outfit is just straight up terrifying, and her mouth being covered is a nice touch to her being sort of "mute". This might be something that only I am bothered by, but I don't like Batman's sidekicks being colorful due to Batman's more stealthy approach you know? Batman is dressed in all black to blend in the dark and Robin (depends on which version) just stands out with the bright red, yellow and green. I like Dick Grayson as Nightwing, his outfit remains iconic while not drawing much attention (and it's fitting that he kinda went his own way and not be just a shadow of Batman). Jason has his own style and methods that I don't mind, he is badass. Barbara as Batgirl is a weird one for me, cuz the yellow + blue is very iconic and makes her character recognizable, despite the colors I do like it. But Cassandra, bro she is just on point, she is unique among the Bat Family and terrifying like Batman, perhaps even more than him! If I was a criminal in Gotham and she was the one to show up from the dark, I would shit my pants.
I hope someone makes a movie out of Cassandra Cain.
She did appear Birds of prey but they ruin her
Can you also do Stephanie Brown’s batgirl? :)
Wow if she was my older sister I will not even mess with her
She's badass as fuck. Metal like hell!
THANKS NOW I NOW ENYTHING ABOUT ORPHAN
Been a fan of the character since 1999. My favorite Batman character.
I like this
awesome channel.
Thank you so much!!
She did far more than simply defeating Lady Shiva 🎉
She Looks Like Batgirl Than Batman But More Stitched Up On Both Sides Of Her Mask🐾🐾🐾
She's actually the strongest non-superpowered or enhanced human fighter in the world after beating Shiva. And Batman himself stated several times that Cassandra is a better fighter than him.
Awesome 👍 great👍 super😀.
Thanks for the support!!
Are you going to do a video about her life as orphan?
Thanks for the comment! Yes I am planning on an Orphan origin. I wanted to keep it separate because her origin as Orphan kind of resets and adds a lot of change to her old story. So I thought it could be a bit confusing in the same video.
Lol my name is Cassandra. Welp, guess I know my next Halloween costume
Her origin story reminds me of the movie called the unleashed starting jet li
Can you please do Flamebird?
Please do one on Richard Dragon
Will Do!!!
I really like Cassandra Cain it's between her and Bruce Wayne but she is pretty faster than Batman but it's between both
So true
ORPHAN Assassin's Daughter: Birthday January 26: The child 🚸 of deadly assassins Lady Shiva and David Cain, Cassandra Cain adopts her father's code name 📛 after his death. Although she has been brought up to be a killer, Cassandra chooses a different path. She joins the team of young 🌱 heroes that Batman and Batwoman are training to protect Gotham City! Happy birthday to Cassandra Cain aka Orphan her birthday verse is Genesis 1:26 Happy 😁 New 🆕 Year Blessings and Hugs 💖🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏!
Oh Dude you gonna do Lady Shiva Because She is amazing
I will 100% be doing Lady Shivas origin! ⚔️
@@ComicOrigins thanks Man
David kane look likes the punisher
I mean I know they kinda ruined her in birds of prey but I feel like my Theory that the new suicide Squad maybe Harley Quinn adopts Cassandra and then finds out she is back in the squad and like asks bat man to take care of Cassandra until she comes back but like now instead of her being a thief she is batgirl [I mean it’s my theory 😅]
Cassandra or Barbra? I prefer Cassandra ngl
Cassandra Cain is the dc version of marvels echo I would love to see them in a one on one match
What order should i read these ???
I want to watch DC showcase of Cassandra Cain.😎hey.... Comic origin do.... origin of booster gold...
Omg, this could be a dlc character in Gotham knights
Batman always steals the show
At least, give 2-face's coin back.
I feel like I was given shit when I watched the Birds of Prey movie compared to this. Why didn't they include anything about Cass besides that she's a thief and swallowed a diamond, wtf.
because take morons to write the scripts
Who is The Wildcat! 💪👊
She can physically overpowers even Batman in pre-new52 canon
Yes
Poor baby.
Is she the second batgirl? 🦇
No she was 4th
Cassandra Cain also appeared in the movie birds of prey as a teenager girl
Terrible
@@user-rf8ho2ng7y exactly ...that Cassandra Cain was terrible
@@Be_COMICious yeah
@@user-rf8ho2ng7y btw what the fuck you doin here....you have L-ready died in death note
@@Be_COMICious haha you never see the movie?(the asian not that crap) of Natflix
If you put this on 1.5x speed it almost sounds normal ✨
6:34 That looks creepy
But Birds of prey makes different story about Cassandra Cain. She became an apprentice of Harley Quinn.
When we go to see Barbara Gordon's origin
Batwoman
