DC Finest: Batgirl – Nobody Dies Tonight Review

I will preface that I have yet to read No Man's Land, but I know that's where Cass is more formally introduced. However, even without that context, I think her journey entering the world of superheroism and Gotham's crime life is done so well here.

Note: The book doesn't include the first 6 issues of the run, but I read them digitally just get the full experience. 

This book actually does so well showcasing her character. Even with how much it withholds about her backstory, it's who she currently is that's more important aspect of the story. Her current self and drive to save people is really the crux of the book. "Nobody Dies Tonight" is aptly titled and especially so in issue #19 (where the title comes from). 

The dynamic between Cass towards Barbara and Bruce really gives off divorce parents that have never been married. It's such a fun relationship to watch play out. Both of their conflicting styles of parenting/teaching clashing over how Cass should operate. What makes it even stronger is the fact that there's no clear right answer. It's just different approaches. Cass doesn't lean one way or the other, and the story doesn't say either's right or wrong. It's just people being themselves helping each other, even if their approaches are different. 

One of my favorite parts of the book is the episodic nature of the story. I think a lot of comics around this time might've followed this approach more (I know at least Dixon's Nightwing felt that way), but it's done especially well here. The story really gives up the vibe of watching a TV show play out. I think I really like the episodic approach to comics,  and this really scratched that itch perfectly. With this approach, as opposed to multi-issue long arcs, you get full meals in each issue. I really feel like each issue is completely crucial to understanding her character and journey. 

There's so much about this book to really enjoy. It's ripe with great character portrayals and story. I absolutely would highly recommend reading this even if you're a casual fan of these characters. It's so easy to jump straight into it and fully immerse yourself right into the eyes of Cassandra Cain as she learns communicate with her words for the first time.
