Cassandra Cain was the fourth Batgirl. Daughter of assassins David Cain and Lady Shiva, she was trained to become the perfect warrior. Her father deprived her of speech so she would learn movement and physicality as her first language. She joined the Batman Family during No Man’s Land, to replace Helena Bertinelli as Batgirl, and later on was adopted by Bruce Wayne. Cassandra would eventually turn her Batgirl costume over to Stephanie Brown, and become a member of Batman Incorporated as Black Bat.
She returned to mainstream continuity after the company-wide reboot in Batman and Robin Eternal and assumed the code name Orphan after the death of her father David Cain, who originally used the code name. She’s now a main character in the current Detective Comics run.
Context of her first appearance: Batman: Road to No Man’s Land
