Mr. Weisman,

1. Has the Earth-16 version of Orphan ever been addressed by the nickname "Cass" like her comic book counterpart is sometimes currently called by?

2. In a response to a previous posting, you refused to confirm whether or not David Cain is the father of the Earth-16 version of Orphan. Please explain why you chose to do this; considering this relationship is clearly TRUE in the mainstream DC Universe; both in the pre-Flashpoint (New Earth) and post-Flashpoint (Prime Earth) versions of the mainstream DC Comics universe.

3. In the current iteration of the mainstream DC Unverse, the reason why Cassandra Cain took up the codename "Orphan" is because her father, David Cain used that codename while working for a warlord/human trafficker known only as "Mother" (as depicted in "Batman & Robin Eternal"). So, I assuming at the very least that the Earth-16 version of Cassandra Cain was likely given this name because Lady Shiva knew the Earth-16 version of David Cain by that codename. Is my assumption correct, or is there a completely different reason why Cassandra Cain was given the codename of "Orphan"?
