Summary: What I've Been Waiting For
Comment: The obvious attraction to the Cassandra Cain Batgirl (other than her obviously attractive body) has been her amazing ability/style to fight and its origins. That being said, I combed the Batgirl comics looking for one that had substantial information or plot points pertaining to her father the deadliest assassin in the world David Cain and her mother, another world famous assassin, Lady Shiva. But having read pounds of Batman trade paperbacks, I found myself spending $10 on 90% crossover material from her role in Batman stories. 9% her teenage girl issues (which I doubt anyone cares about). And 1% pertaining to her back-story (like 6 panels of her as a little girl with pigtails and a pink dress choking someone to death).
So for Destructions Daughter to come along, be about 5 times as thick as every batgirl TPB before it. And to be ALL about her back-story--suffice to say, I was eager to get my hands on it.
Destruction's Daughter finds Batgirl becoming beyond curious about her past, and feeling the need for answers. So immediately she separates herself from Batman in search of an answer to who he mother is. In this way, we not only find out about her back-story, but we see her confront what she was literally "built" to be, contrasted with who she has become. One is the ultimate graceful killing machine, and the other being Batgirl (the bat implying...no killing allowed). And in the end finding a middle ground between the two, and for once, coming of age into her own identity; rather than one predetermined for her, or one she simply borrows from someone.

Cassandra Cain was quickly accepted as the new Batgirl after helping Batman during Gotham's darkest hours. Trained in deadly martial arts from early childhood by a notorious assassin, Batgirl developed the uncanny ability to anticipate her opponents’ movements to make her unbeatable in combat. Now, the Dark Knight's young protégé is determined to discover who her true mother is, and her quest, brings her face-to-face with the League of Assasins and into mortal combat with the deadliest woman alive, Lady Shiva! It all ends in a life or death battle at the edge of Lazarus Pit, and only one person will survive
