The Joker, Lady Shiva & Cassandra Cain Just Changed the Absolute Universe!

The Joker just changed Cassandra Cain’s entire story. In Absolute Cassandra Cain #1, DC completely reimagines Cassandra’s origin — connecting her to Lady Shiva, the League of Assassins, and a version of the Joker unlike anything we’ve seen before. So how does the Joker ultimately lead to the creation of Absolute Cassandra Cain? I’m breaking down the entire issue, including Cassandra’s brutal new origin, the League of Assassins, Lady Shiva’s role, the Joker’s shocking history, and what this could mean for the future of the Absolute Universe. This may be one of the darkest Cassandra Cain stories DC has ever told.
