Something I believe after reading so many strip is that the Bat - Family is a peck more complicated than citizenry think . Instead of just one large loving family social unit , it ’s more like a group made up of small interpersonal relationships , and not everyone gets along with one another , including the variousBatgirlsandRobins . This Department of State of affairs is best show by howCassandra Cainshould want perfectly nothing to do withRed Hood .

depiction of the Bat - Family have changed a peck over the year . Sometimes they ’re a barely run kinfolk whole with complex interpersonal interactions , and sometimes they ’re shown as a piffling dysfunctional , but overall altogether supportive and loving , like inWayne Family Adventures . alas , if case are dead on target to themselves , then these fundamental interaction would be a bit more complicated .

All the penis of the Bat - Family are complex characters , some of them have X of history that have shaped their worldview , andnot all of them are move to be able-bodied to get along with one anotherbecause of this - which is why I believe , considering both of their history , that Cassandra Cain should perfectly hate Jason Todd .

Cassandra Cain Fully Believes in Batman’s Mission

Cass Will Never Tolerate Killing - By Anyone

Cassandra Cain was born to be the perfect bodyguard for Ra ’s al Ghul , and to achieve this , she was raised by her assassin Fatherhood , David Cain . David taught Cass everything there was to have it off about obliterate mass . He instilled in her from a very young age that she is a weapon system to kill the people that Ra ’s want dead , and it tookCassandra year to run away this tragical source . When Cass was a young missy , she kill a pack hirer on David ’s order , and in that bit , she in full understood what it entail to die . This trauma leave alone her witha powerful desire to never see death again .

Batgirl ’s idolatry to Batman ’s no - kill rule is so strong , she once broke into a prison house to hear and economize a man on dying row .

Cassandra Cain absolutely worships the ground Batman walks on . For a long fourth dimension , she did n’t even love that Bruce Wayne existed . She just thought Batman was always Batman . Batgirl ’s devotion to Batman ’s no - kill rule is so strong , she once broke into a prison to try and keep open a man on death course , simply becauseshe could n’t bear to know someone was go to die when she feel she had the king to prevent it . She immediately exact that Kate Kane be kicked out of the family when she on the face of it killed Clayface as well . I trust all of this makes it hard to imagine she ’d tolerate Jason .

Red Hood Rejects Everything Cassandra Cain Believes In

There’s No Way These Two Could Get Along

Of all the Robins , Batman ’s relationship with Jason Toddhas always been the most complicated . Jason pop out out as a wonderful Robin . He was bright , industrious , and unbelievably sweet-smelling . But one tragic minute changed all of that . While Jason was trying to discover his mother , he terminate up being murdered by the Joker . When Jason bring back from the dead , he had a much darker mind-set on aliveness , and he no longer believe in Batman ’s view of the world .

Readers can see an alternate timeline where Jason Todd survived his encounter with the Joker inFrom the DC Vault : Death in the Family - Robin Lives!#1 , available now from DC Comics !

When Jason returned from the dead , he was n’t the same shining - eyed , happy nestling that he used to be . After being polish off by the Joker , Jason returned and saw that not only was the Joker still alive , but Batman had gotten himself a new Robin with Tim Drake . It seemed to Jason that he had been replaced and was n’t even deserving save . When Jason return , he not only set out to kill the Joker , but he also decide he was going toget retaliation on Batman and save Gotham City once and for all . But he would n’t be saving it using Batman ’s methods .

Jason Todd amply embrace using deadly methods to control offence . If criminals could be bullied and made to revere him , then he ’d have them solve under him and control the flow of crime . Anyone that could n’t be insure like this , Jason would kill . It was his own version of trying to make unnecessary Gotham , and some fans believe it was the right move , but it ’s something that convey him into major battle with Batman and the rest of the Bat - Family . But he ’s never really gone up against the one person who should hate him the most .

Cassandra Cain Should Be Jason Todd’s Biggest Hater

This Batgirl Will Never Accept Red Hood’s Philosophy

Not only would Cass hate Jason , butJason should have every understanding to dislike Cass as well . This tension would make for a fascinating dynamic for a family unit : two multitude who have the exact diametrical view of their patriarchal figure . Unfortunately , DC has n’t go down this route with these two type so far .

DC ’s ultimate magic - user was just taken down by a Gotham hero , with their immense scrap talents beating a power station who could crush Superman .

I rightfully call back that Jason Todd is everything that Cassandra Cain stands against . He ’s a killer and , bad of all , he ’s a warp of Batman ’s consecrated oath . Jason is someone who took an oath to never take a life and to do everything in his might to save people . Instead , he carries guns , and he kills the malefactor he believes deserve to die . There would benothing more distasteful and sickening to Cassandrathan someone who was taught to save the great unwashed and who instead uses those skills to bump off hoi polloi . Jason ’s method are a rejection of everything Cass believe in .

If postdate Batman get Jason stamp out , then where will it lead Cassandra ?

Likewise , Cassandra Cain would be an absolute incubus for Jason . Jason once truly trust in Batman ’s charge . Jason did everything he could as a Robinto be the good Boy marvel that he could possibly be . He studied all Nox for school , he went out on patrol , he did everything Batman wanted - and it still got him obliterate . Now he ’s alive again , and he sees Batman has recruit someone who believe in Batman ’s ideals far more than he ever did . If following Batman got Jason toss off , then where will it run Cassandra?Cassandra ’s devotion to Bruce ’s mission must be terrify for Jason .

Jason Todd Should Hate Cassandra Cain’s Devotion to Bruce Wayne’s Mission

If He Doesn’t Believe in Batman, He Can’t Believe in Batgirl

After Jason came back as Red Hood , he made it clear that he worries about sidekicks who follow their heroes blindly . He once take Speedy apart and recite her to be careful about follow Green Arrow . There ’s no reason to guess he would n’t be as equally paranoid about Cassandra ’s devotion . I think it ’s complicated relationships like this that make the Bat - Family one of the respectable and most interesting families in comic books . Seeing them all plunk for each other is overnice , but the reality is that , despite being aRobinand aBatgirl , Red HoodandCassandra Cainshouldn’t like each other at all .
