Origin[]
Cassandra as the Black Bat
Raised from birth to be the perfect killer, Cassandra Cain learned to read body language perfectly. However, when her assassin father ordered her to kill her first victim, she read his feelings and her empathy that was strengthened with her training caused her to realize the depth what she had done. Cassandra then ran away, only to resurface years later, where she was recruited by Oracle to become the next Batgirl.
Biography[]
Birth[]
