David Cain - Tumblr Posts

It’s Cassandra Cain’s in-universe Birthday! Here’s a bit from her debut storyline, from Batman #567 (July 1999), where during the No Man’s Land event she was working as a courier for Barbara Gordon, until she recognised her long lost assassin dad on the prowl in the ruined city (his having been hired by Two-Face to kill Commissioner Gordon for “betraying” him earlier in the main story).

Later, the non-verbal Cass indictates via diagrams that it’s David Cain that’s after Jim, and that David’s her dad. Jim isn’t happy that Cass had to step in to save him though, and puts out the word to hunt down David due to his having murdered multiple cops escaping his earlier failed assassination attempt..

Am thinking thoughts about that audio that goes:

“My father is the worst man alive, and I’m his favourite daughter.”

And it shows Cass and David Cain.

Ngl I feel like Cassie is baned from training any one cause it’s traumatizing.

Like they left her alone with Young Justice for an hour and came back to find them all shot and crying in corners while Cass calls them babys.

It isn’t even her fault because that’s how she trained and was going easy.

HELLO CASSANDRA CAIN FANS!

Ok, I have a question for you guys. I don’t know that much about Cassandra, (sadly) mostly because I haven’t found the time to read her comics, but I have a question…

I know the basics of her character. She was trained by her father, David Cain, her first language is to read body movements, she wasn’t taught how to speak and had a horrible life as a child, and then David took her to kill a man at age seven, after which she realised it was wrong and ran away, right? (It’s what I’ve seen in fanfics, Wikipedia, and just fannon memes and stuff)

So here’s my question….

What does she do in the ages 7-when she meets Batman.

Like, what’s she doing? Where’s she going? Was she just a random seven year old child stealing food from people to survive? How’d she meet Barbara/Batman and how old was she?

Sorry if it’s a confusing question/has a huge answer, I just really need to know and I can’t find it anywhere else-
