↳ notes: canon puck things that didn't fit properly in the lore timeline i have already set out. art of puck and the gang by @/miiilowo
↳ playlist: gorillaz/puck playlist
any phase — puck ad ons
• when writing lyrics, they get really into the motions, and can shut themself off from the outside world from days at a time
• puck doesn't have any social media apart from a twitter account they haven't touched since stage four. the only reason they even got it was as a distraction while trying to get clean
• the only numbers they have saved jn their personal phone are the bands, their cousins, and one or two friends they made through rehab. they have a second phone for strictly professional reasons, although occasionally 2D will get confused and call it instead
• for a brief period of time early on, murdoc tried to capitalize on the general publics interest in puck and get them on a series of radio broadcasts about themself, but it was shut down after one episode due to pucks refusal to talk about anything other than music; which no one was interested in listening to for an hour and a half
• puck has spent thousands of dollars over the years bailing murdoc out of jail over petty, and some not-so-petty, crimes. to this day, murdoc still owes them some ten thousand dollars for a stunt in mexico
• the only public event with paparazzi that puck hasn't outwardly expressed annoyance or anger for during was an interview with nardwar and russell that took place after a concert
• there's an old ebay account out there that was run by puck circa phase one and two with a bunch of sold gorillaz items. they used to auction off clothes or belongings of murdoc or 2d's whenever the two of them would piss them off bad enough. items sold include a pair of 2d's shoe laces, an angelina jolie bobble head with some questionable stains, one half eaten bag of sour cream and potato chips, and murdocs favorite leopard print thong
• when returning back to their hometown in the time before plastic beach, puck gets a job working at an ice cream shop to support themself. looking back on it, they're pretty sure their boss was a werewolf, but they thought it'd be rude to point that out, so they never said anything
• puck and 2d have a pair of matching friendship bracelets they wear that 2d made during his gap year in guatemala
• the twenty twenty gorillaz almanac was largely put together by the effort of puck and noodle; the former of which came to with the idea as a way to both pass the time in between working on song machine, and to provide the fans with something fun to read during quarantine
• their favorite music video that they've ever been in is a cross between humility and dirty harry, but their favorite music video that they ever directed was 19-2000

The Lost Tales of Cassandra Cain
With every comic book character there are stories that aren’t approved or slipped thru the cracks of being published. Here are the ones that involve Cass.
Tumblr media
The Lost Batgirl Vol. 1 Story
- We’ll start with the most “finished” lost tale involving Cassandra Cain is one that was meant to be in her ongoing (probably #38 given the context of the story). has several official pages finished and inked. Not only that but the script was published online (it was written by Paul Storrie).
Here’s what we know the plot involves Charaxes (the post-Crisis Killer Moth  Drury Walker who went by this particular name after the “Underworld Unleashed” event when he sold his soul to become a moth creature), him targeting a child who’s deaf, and is Cass’s only confrontation with Killer Moth (until Batgirls #9-12. I mean we sort of got that in Tec Knights, but Basil crashed Killer Moth’s plan in that, not Cass. Plus she wasn’t Batgirl then).  
Not only does the story delve into the history between Batgirl/Killer Moth it also tackles Cass learning ASL. An angle not touched upon until Young Justice Targets #3 recently. 
Tumblr media
Several pages of the script by Storrie were drawn by artist Javier Saltares (Ghost Rider, G.I. Joe) and inked by Rob Leigh. It’s unknown how much of trhe story Saitares/Leigh drew and inked. What is known, is that in the early 2010s Saitares put a bunch of these pages up on eBay for auction. I personally bought a page but here are the ones I could find as well:

You’ve probably seen this story elsewhere too, because in 2010 artist Lynne Yoshii used the script and redrew the whole story.  Lynn did an amazing job basically filling the portions that were missing: Here are a few:

The Missing Filler Detective Comics Issue
- Our next “lost” tale takes place probably around early 2009 and was meant to be a filler issue in Paul Dini’s Detective Comics run.  This one was written by Chuck Dixon and would’ve tied into his Batman & the Outsiders run at the time. Not much is fully known of the story save it was announced by Dixon on the Word Balloon podcast (from December 2008). 
For Cassandra, it would bridge the gap to Batman & the Outsiders Vol. 2 #2 of that series and her last prior appearance, Robin #162. Explaining Bruce's renewed trust in Cassandra, after you know-- the heel turn, getting injected with Slade juice, and--  a rather bad time for Cassandra Cain. 🙃🙃 🙃🙃
Tumblr media
Six months later though, Dixon would leave Robin and Batman & the Outsiders. Now, this is where it relates to Tim/Stephanie. Robin #177 of Robin would have originally dealt with Cluemaster finding out she was alive (a lost tale in itself). This however, got a cover (and there’s probably art of that floating too if this much got thru) by then series artist Freddie Williams II:
Tumblr media
Of course, you know the rest of the story. We instead got Batgirl Vol. 2 aka Batgirl: Redemption Road and Cassandra was given a set-up arc in B&O to establish "the Network" which would later become Batman Inc. Then get utterly forgotten when the series relaunched to just "the Outsiders".
It’s possible Dixon does have an outline to this saved. But given how crazy he’s become. I’m not one to ask him, but if anyone is brave. Be my guest.
The meeting we wanted but never got. - Robin #-183
- However this leads us into our next “lost tale” that would’ve been in Robin ongoing series. The writer who replaced Dixon, Fabian Nicieza, confirmed that had Robin lasted beyond #175-183 (the series’ final issue), he would’ve had Cass guest star and find out Stephanie Brown was alive. 
But.. the series ended at #183 and Tim would become Red Robin. Cass would meet Stephanie, but it was extremely MEH reunion in Batman & the Outsiders Vol. 2 #13.
Tumblr media
Now, if you want to see a fan version of this. Well, I wrote a script that artist Eileen Widjaja captured to perfection just this year:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Failed Pitches
White Canary series by Billy Tucci. 
- Yes, there was an ongoing series by Tucci that would’ve starred Cass. For those who are unware of the identity. The White Canary was introduced at the main antagonist of the first arc of “Brightest Day” Gail Simone’s relaunched Birds of Prey #1:
Tumblr media
After the arc ended rumors began to swirl that Cassandra Cain would be getting the identity and enter Tucci writing a spinoff series as well (covered by Bleeding Cool). 
Cue Heroes Con 2010 and at a DC panel the question was asked with Senior Story Editor Ian Sattler and Billy Tucci himself attending the panel (sadly the Newsarama link I originally found is down but if someone can find it I’d be grateful). Here’s a clip of the quote though:
"They are also holding off on using Cassandra right now. Misfit will be seen later down the line. An audience member wanted to see more Cassandra, but Sattler insisted that they didn't want to rush her into the story and just want to time it right.”
Cue C2E2 2011 a year later. The prelude to Black Bat as it were. Tucci was a guest and I had to ask the question myself. He did confirm there was a series pitched.
He'd keep Cass basic, using her skills as a fighter and no real tech at all save the standard grapple gun, which is standard in all vigilante equipment. Why would she need gadgets? When SHE IS THE WEAPON.
And if you don’t believe me, here’s the commission I got from him at said convention of Cass:
Tumblr media
So, accidentally given how many have asked him to draw Barbara, Tucci had screwed up the pose (hence why Cass is on her tip-toes as he was drawing Babs in the high-heels). He did course-correct the art.
Not just a day later, it was then announced that Gates of Gotham #1 would feature the return of Cassandra Cain. Though as we now know how it all played what happened. 
So what really happened? My theory? A mixture of The New 52 and her becoming Black Bat more than likely scuttled the idea. Or DC being DC when it comes to Cassandra. We will never know the answer. At the very least, I can fully confirm that Billy Tucci was pitching a Cass ongoing at the time. Oh what could’ve been (or maybe not given Tucci has gone equally crazy like Dixon):
Tumblr media
Angel of the Bat
- You know this one by heart at this point. 
This was Gail Simone’s 2006 pitch after Batgirl Vol. 1 was about to end. We didn’t get that, and instead we got well... this for “Robin OYL”:
Tumblr media
🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
There are a few more story pitches that I know but haven’t dug deep enough or asked about the stories at conventions. Nor do I want to reopen old wounds as most of these ideas were prior or during the “New 52″ era.
Gail Simone had a few (but they more or less materialized into Future’s End: Batgirl #1). Kyle Higgins wanted Cass to appear in Nightwing during his run (instead all he could do was be allowed to put in a deleted fight scene he wanted to put in Gates of Gotham but instead used in the “Court of Owls” x-over). We all know Scott Snyder wanted to use Cass and was spited numerous times over during his Batman run.
Fabian Nicieza had a few ideas involving Cass that would’ve focused against Cricket (the villain he introduced in Red Robin #25), Bryan Q. Miller wanted Cass to be featured in the second half to Batgirl Vol. 3 if it had continued Cass would’ve appeared as both Black Bat and a time displaced version of herself as Batgirl (along with Barbara) teaming up with the Blackhawks and Skeets in World War II. We saw this idea teased at the end of Batgirl Vol. 3 #24:
Tumblr media
Finally, there is Grant Morrison, who wanted to use Cass when Batman Inc Vol. 2 launched. It’s unknown what they had in mind but they and artist Chris Burnham did poke fun at DC replacing Steph with Babs in their second run:
Tumblr media
Not only that but Mad Dog (Cass’s evil brother) did appear in this run as well. But that’s a story for another time... 
Black Bat Ongoing (late-2012 or 2013)
Tumblr media
- So we have an entry to this list that has recently come to light. Artist Dean Zachary has revealed that there was a Black Bat ongoing pitched during the “dark era” of when Cass was listed as “toxic” between 2011-2013. 
Zachary has several concept sketches of this ongoing pitch posted of Cass, Shivasaurus, Batman, and Bronze Tiger. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So the first arc of this ongoing was going to be this, per Zachary himself: 
“The drawing was meant to suggest that Cass defeated Shiva so badly that she took the villain's Mask as a trophy. The League of Assassins were taking the streets from law enforcement and only Cass and Ben could stand against them.  Shiva sent her Prize Student, Richard Dragon, to either convert or remove Cass and Ben as defenders of Gotham.  Mayhem ensued.  Editors at DC had "other plans" for Cass and company at the time. ”
Course any Cass fan knows that “other plans” lingo of DC all too well. Now how was I able to pinpoint the exact time when this pitch was given? Well, with help from a good friend (and Lady Shiva expert). We can pin point this pitch was made in 2013 (or earlier). 
The reason we can is because that’s when Ben Turner was walking around in his New 52 design in 2013:
Tumblr media
The design would be used for an Red Hood & the Outlaws arc that would infamously tie with Shivasaurus getting K.O.ed by Jason Todd easily in it for that year. 
So I find this story pitch fascinating for several reasons because there were some creative folk STILL actively trying to keep Cass canon at DC even with the New 52 going on (which said otherwise).
I find the whole concept of a Ben/Cass team truly some potential as the two were retconned to be master/student  before Batgirl Vol. 1 ended. Which gave us this panel: 
Tumblr media
It’s also curious how this would’ve led into a villainous New 52 Richard Dragon which again did occur but in the Green Arrow comics under Jeff Lemire’s Green Arrow run:
Tumblr media
Zachary still found a job elsewhere so there was no skin off his back for the pitch failing. But still expresses interest in a Cass solo. 
- Another LOST Cass story slipped under my radar in July until today. Former series artist Rich Leonardi tweeted back in early July several unpublished drawings he did and two feature Cass in them. 
Given the focus of the story is Nightwing it does feel like a continuation writer Devin Grayson at that time was using Cass to further her sibling bond with Dick (aka #81 of that series). 
However, it could be a lost Batgirl story as Dylan Horrocks did leave much on the table (a lot of pent up tension between the two due to Babs/Dick breaking up around this run) when he exited the ongoing due to “War Games” event. Whatever the case, let’s just take in the glorious Leonardi Cass art:
