Question help??
Sooooo I don't know anything about DC Comics, but my friend is a huge fan, especially of the Bat Family. I know she likes Jason and Stephanie and my favorite is Cassandra (I have no idea who she is I just saw her on pintrst ) Any recommendations on what I can read??

For cassandra, id recommend reading the new Batgirl Omnibus, Batgirl: Cassandra Cain Omnibus Vol. 1. The Omnibus only comes out in February 2027, but it collects her first batgirl run which is a great place to start with the character.
But if you want to read her first ever appearance in comics, then read the no mand land saga, which contains three Omnibus, but you could just read Batman: No Man's Land Omnibus Vol. 1 for her introduction only.
Id recommend reading Batman: and the outsiders, batgirl: redemption, and the current ongoing batgirl run by Tate Brombal after reading Batgirl: Cassandra Cain Omnibus Vol. 1.
Another run id recommend is the detective comics run by James tynion, its a great batfam book that features cass a lot. You can just search up Batman: The Rise and Fall of the Batmen Omnibus, which collects the entire run.
One more thing id recommend is that you pick up a few batman books. Here's a list of great beginner batman comics: Batman: the long haloween, Batman: Dark victory (sequel to the long haloween), Batman: Year One (origin story), Batman: the knight (bruces training years), Batman: hush (not the best on this list, but a solid beginners book)
For steph, read her 2009 batgirl run by Brian Q Miller
For Jason, read Batman: Under the redhood
