@bat_girl_cc:
Not really. I didn't expect Dick win against Cassandra, she is unbeatable, that's her thing, she win fights. That was also what makes the fight so very stupid. No, what I hated was Dick saying crap like "I'm one of the best trained fighter..." That is bad writing and out of character. That got me mad. And 50 K for the for a book with "batman" and "Snyder" in the cover in it's 2 month is not that great and it doesn't make the story any less mediocre.
And what Cassandra learned in all those fights is that if she adds Dick, Jason and Tim she may end with a whole person. Awesome, good thing she gotta humiliated Dick for that, totally worth it. Not useless at all, just like her USB that didn't help anything.
When I say that what this books does is beat Dick down and ridicule him, is exactly I what mean. Dick is incompetent in this, they keep hammering that he feels unworthy, that he is insecure. Why would you think is just about Cassandra stomping him when you made a thread gleefully announcing how screwed he is?
I wish it was "Batman introducing Cassandra Cain" and leave Dick out of it completely, because is the most crowded book I have even seen. And it keeps pulling Dick down with not other purpose that EVERYBODY else looks good.
Ok, so you're mad about what Dick said, you think that it was bad writting and i have seen tons of people saying that exact same thing, if that's your concern regarding their fight, then it makes sense, but please don't tell me that it didn't made sense, when Dick himself explained it on issue 3...also i pointed out of good its selling because you have a opinion about the quality of the book and thats fine, but its your own opinion, i for one don't agree, and neither do tons of other people, if you read issues 6 and 7, you would have a different opinion.
Cassandra didn't reduced anyone there, she was merely pointing out their stronger areas.
If by incompetent, you mean the flashbacks, so far they have shown Dick as very capable, and with Batman trusting him, Dick is the one who doesn't belive in his worth because at that point he was insecure, which makes sense, he was just a normal kid doing extraordinary things, i mean normal when compared to Cass or Damian.
I made this thread because next weednsday, Dick is going up against what its quite possibly Batman's most dangerous rogue in this new continuity, and i felt like it was big, so i got excited, looks like you don't feel that way, which its fine, you probably enjoy more Grayson, on which Dick is unstoppable, a title on which Dick is capabe of performing feats such as punching down Midnighter while holding a child on his other arm, doing well against a being that had the justice league members powers and abillities, etc, but hey, for each its own.
What you fail to realize, is that this book isn't about Cassandra, although she's the most interesting character in it (thank you very much for noting it) this whole series its about Dick Grayson! it has been stated by every single main writter and artist on this title...this its pretty much Dick Grayson's story! you see, i case you haven't noted yet every flash-back has been about him and its probably the whole reason for there even being flashbacks, what happens in the present he's either front and center or its related to him somehow...the first appearence of The Mother had him at front and center of it, Cass and Haper arenear by but thei're clearly the back-up...its all about him.
