THAT'S A GUN.

I understand the reasons why people don't want bat characters to use guns but if I were to make a book I totally would find a way to make a bat kid using a gun be something meaningful and scary and something that everyone knows is out of character. Well... funnily enough this week and last week featured a comic where both Damian Wayne and Jason Todd used a gun. So... maybe I wouldn't be that groundbreaking. And Batman's used rifles before... whatever. Comics are complicated.

Also sexy Evangelion style undersuit on the right because I feel like I haven't scared off enough of the new patrons who might not know I do kinky drawings...

Do tranquilizer rifles count? Definitely seen those before. And machine-shorting-out type things, etc. Standard bullet-to-the-face guns, not so often in recent history.

Well, she's been taught these skills. We've seen the flashbacks. I'm kind of surprised we haven't ever seen a move where Cass is fighting a group of goons and uses or moves the gun they're holding against them. Like uses the butt end. Shoots one in the foot. That sort of thing.

Lots of comics and writers now, reserve even VAGUELY gun shaped things for special moments in the story. The Grapple Launcher is about the only exception but I haven't visually seen the launcher gun itself in a while. There are a lot of good reasons people want to avoid the imagery of a bat person using a gun. But a couple times now in the past few weeks they've used it to heighten dramatic moments.

I mentioned this before when I sketched her using different tools. A lot of the action with her COULD be expanded a lot if they started using her gear more creatively. And you could get a character very capable of Jackie Chan levels of improvisation. So while using a gun as a bludgeoning tool is possible, I'd reserve that for times when it would MEAN something to use a gun like that. Otherwise, she could use things like bike helmets or belts or other enemies as "weapons."
