    But she's not dead... 
    I would want her to forcibly take back the Batgirl mantle.

    I wrote a blog about it :) She should break her mother (Shiva) out of prison and become a villain again. Then go and get her father (David Cain) and team up with Ras and re-form the League of Assassins.

    @MTS: 
    Man that is a darn good question.......I would love if she returned or we got a glimpse of her being trained by the ever popular Richard Dragon since her life has been so up and down recently, so she could get more zen like and spiritual......
     
    or
     
    Wouldn't mind her showing up in Red Robin to back tim up, they were always Bruce's kids that were most like him (one in body the other in mind)
     
    Or
     
    Just have her return to the outsiders now that alfred is basically leading the team
     
    or
    skip anything major and just have her return to train either Spoiler or Red Robin

    I would like her to appear in Red Robin, both her and Tim basically have the same motive. Her being a villain is a pretty good idea though, especially to see how Bruce will react. That and it would be funny if Batman(Dick) gets revenge against Casandra and knocks her through a wall. :P

    @burr787: 
     
    I'll never understand the fascination with her as a villain worse to see how Bruce would react? um don't we already have Jason Todd for that role?
     
    and dick knocking her through a wall? only in a badly written comic cause she's leagues above him in skill!!!

    As the new Lady Shiva, Maybe call herself D.O.D (Daughter of Destruction.) This does not mean villain, but rather a neutral character who helps those she chooses, or who she just so happens to come across who ask her for assistance.

    @Selvokaz: Not bad. But then what would happen to the real Lady Shiva? Plus we already had a story like that when Black Canary and Shiva switched lives for a year.

    @Gambler: You're probably right, I'm not as versed in detective type comics myself but after a friend introduced me to Cassandra I kind of fell in love with the character and only bought her trades. So my interest in anything else detective comics wise is pretty much nonexistent, I'm a super powered hero fan except when it comes to Cassie. (she might as well have them.) so I was just giving an opinion based on what I do know of her and her background, wasn't aware of similar stories already being told.

    she should almost become a super hero mobster. Protect people and not even threaten to hurt them but make them pay for her protection. She could then start her own branch of League of assassins

    As the new LADY SHIVAA
    didn't Lady Shiva change to Jade Canary? so it would be perfect for Cass to be Shiva.

    Well looking at the current landscape right now, there are many ways she can come back. My favorite is the idea that she is one of the students at the St. Hadrian's Finish School in Grayson and she stands out above the rest because Cassandra is the most skilled student there. When you look at the idea of St. Hadrian's, it's easy to put Cassandra in and have it feel natural as she can either enroll in the school for legitimate reasons or to assassinate someone. Hand and Glove fit.

    Remember, everything I say is 100 percent correct.

    On another note, Stephanie Brown did make a cameo appearance with the girls from St. Hadrian's in Batman Inc. albeit it's not considered canon.
