Things I Think About #35

This is just a few quicks thoughts in relation to yesterday's post. Concerning a) Cassandra's fluent speech, and b) just how crazy she sounds.

For a) I think that death and rebirth in the Lazarus Pit may have "fixed" something so to speak. When she was talking with Spoiler on the other side in issue #73 she didn't seem to be having any trouble with words. Any pauses could probably be attributed to grief, especially after she found out that Buldhaven went *POOF*. After she woke up, she still didn't seem to be struggling for words with Shiva. Granted she wasn't using any big words, but her main problem was being able to read and write. If the Lazarus Pit somehow fixed the problem she had, where the parts of her brain that would recognize and comprehend words, then it would just be a matter of building a vocabulary. Which she's had a year to do.

For b), well like I said she's testing Robin. To that end, she's pretending to be the sort of crazed villain they've fought so many times. I mean, Batman's enemies are pretty chatty, and more than a few of them love to rant and rave. So she's just behaving in a manner that could be easily recognizable to Tim as "evil".

Look, it's either this, or - as kalinara believes - it's her evil twin, or it's what I've seen others suggesting: that Beechen didn't bother to do any sort of research on the character, and that last one would make me and my panda friend very sad.
