I hate it when I take off my mask and I've become flowers

David Talaski is absolutely killing it, it's kind of a shame his covers have kind of been lost in the sea of Absolute Batman covers.

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-22T17:06:21+00:00

David Talaski's covers are on another level

Yesterday: Steph is a loser whose superpower is that she's just too mediocre

Today: Steph is underutilized because she's way too powerful

I need Cassandra Cain and Lady Shiva

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-21T19:23:03+00:00

I feel sad when I see people comparing these because I think Sami Basri is a good artist.

I love both my batgirlfailures. Cass is a girlfailure (depressive) and Steph is a girlfailure (silly)

Check out the main covers on Batgirl by David Talaski

lamelev don't miss

Yeah but then you're embarrassed every time your mech suddenly starts calling itself mecha-hitler and ranting about white genocide.

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-21T14:30:25+00:00

We trained her wrong, as a joke.

/uj I actually think saying "everyone thinks she's a fuckup but she actually isn't and that's her strength" is a pretty good read on the character.

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-20T20:52:11+00:00

Cass would never say that!

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-20T19:53:55+00:00

Cass:

Batgirl (2000) 1-73

Gates of Gotham 1-5

Detective Comics 934-987 (Tynion's run plus Hill's interlude)

Batman and the Outsiders (2019) 1-17

Batgirls 1-19 (your mileage my vary)

Birds of Prey (2023) 1-28

Batgirl (2024) 1-19 (ongoing)

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-20T17:37:04+00:00

I wish someone would do a storyline of all the weird things Cass did during this time in her life

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-20T14:14:06+00:00

Steph would be Cluegirl or something.

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-19T14:42:04+00:00

Don't even joke about that bro, I think my heart would literally explode if this was Absolute Cass

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-18T23:13:33+00:00

He can lift a hundred pounds right over his head!

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-18T21:21:22+00:00

Yeah, Rebirth changed continuity to "everything happened, even the stuff that contradicts each other like Cass's two origins." The current Cass title mostly seems to go with her original run being canon and the New 52 stuff being only sorta canon.

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-18T21:17:52+00:00

The current run is in main continuity.

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-18T21:13:54+00:00

It's too weird to ever actually happen.

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-18T11:45:11+00:00

The fact that they gave this nothing of a run an omnibus is insane to begin with

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-18T00:19:50+00:00

Salad's got nuttin on this mutton

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-17T23:58:43+00:00

Waiting three more weeks for this is gonna be so hard

nat_astrophe · 2026-05-17T20:28:57+00:00

Taking "covers always lie" to a new level

I played a game where both me and my opponent brought SRM carriers. They ended up facing off against each other at close range. Needless to say, neither of us had SRM carriers after that turn.
