Now thatBirds of Preyis in theaters, many moviegoers have met a young girl named Cassandra Cain.
The only word she knows is daughter, because its what David called her.
So when she hears it from the mouth of a man shes supposed to kill, she runs away.

I have been in love with Cassandra Cain since she debuted, Kuhn tells EW.
I was so excited because Im Asian-American and she was an Asian Batgirl.
Something I always loved about her is she is someone who was really raised to be a supervillain.

Until working on this book, I didnt realize how passionate a fan base she has.
One thing I really love is she resonates with a lot of different people for different reasons.
As inBirds of Prey, Cassandra inShadow of the Batgirlfinds refuge with empathetic older women.

There she meets a woman named Barbara Gordon, who is happy to help teach Cassandra how to read.
I always loved the interest Barbara took in Cassandra, so I knew I wanted to focus on that.
