One Mistress of the Martial Arts, coming up! https://t.co/rKMSjK37EO
Please get excited for my very first CBR column: #LadyShiva Wasn't Selfish for Abandoning Her Daughter for 16 Years and Then Killing Her - She Was a Hero
My current mental draft is all about a martial arts student whose teacher grows gravely weak and ill, and nobody can seem to figure out why. Like his muscles are atrophying at an impossible rate. So the student seeks Shiva out (against the master's orders) and she saves him...
@SamuelMunroe @Nightwingology @dykesdracarys I mean, it's strong stuff for sure, but I don't see the best Dick Grayson line anywhere in those pages.
"ow."
... we also know that DCeased Cass is still Batgirl, so their fight in #25 must've happened as well. This Cass has most likely already proven her strength to her mother. She's shown her that, following her own path, she can be just as strong as her.
Remember how I told y'all to keep those Batgirl arcs in your mind? Here's a bit from #72, the penultimate issue in that run. To me it's always sounded way too melodramatic and emotional for Shiva, even a little bit metatextual with the whole hero/story thing, but...
Shiva's concern for Cass was what gave them a decent escape strategy. Without her, they would've ended up in who knows where instead of an easily-defensible position with other survivors.
So I'm not gonna say she saved everyone because this still *is* DCeased, bu-u-ut...
