... not just fight her, not just stand her ground, but actually defeat her while staying true to her path (which to me is the whole point of Shiva dressing Cass in her Batgirl outfit and of this bit of dialogue in particular), then she should be immensely proud of her.
In my defense:
- The real big victory, the huge triumph of Batgirl #25 to me is not against Shiva. It's Cass getting over her own death wish. It's Cass going out to die and then rejecting that at the very end.
@InkSilvery's Lady Shiva (and friends) masterpost!
Commissions are open so go get 'em!
@eurymoonchild No problem! The best Lady Shiva stuff for me is:
- The Question by O'Neil/Cowan. She's in issues 1-2, 28-31, 36 and the Annual, but honestly, the whole thing's worth reading.
- Batgirl by Puckett/Scott, issues 7-9, 23, 25 & 26, but again, worth reading all of it.
@eurymoonchild And then there's 4) Bryan Hill and Dexter Soy's current run of Batman and the Outsiders, which is the first time anyone has ever written Cass and Shiva actually teaming up and working together. It hasn't ended yet, but so far it's the best since Puckett's run ended.
@eurymoonchild 2) Andersen Gabrych and Pop Mhan/Ale Garza's Batgirl run. This one started on issue #65 and ran up to #73. This is where they revealed that Shiva was Cass' mom and explained all their shared history and the deal with David Cain and so forth. I don't like this one.
@geekyhush One of the new characters from Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's Suicide Squad run.
She punched Batman in the face once and it was great.
@GraboJonathan While in New 52/Rebirth we know that Shiva reported directly to Ra's and for a while believed zealously in his cause, although we don't know if she was trained by him.
