Cass Cain One Year Later Lookback
In interviews and press conferences,[41] Dan DiDio and others have stated that Cass will "be going back to basics", as in her early adventures before she was able to talk.

Upon being asked if Cassandra's characterization was editorially mandated, writer Adam Beechen stated, "When I came to the book, I was told that the first arc would deal with presenting Cassandra as a major new enemy for Robin. From there, I worked out the details of just how that would come about with our initial editor, Eddie Berganza, and then his successor, Peter Tomasi."[39]

In a follow-up interview, he clarified further, stating, "They didn't present me with a rationale as to why Cassandra was going to change, or a motivating factor. That was left for me to come up with and them to approve. And we did that. But as far as to why the editors and writers and whoever else made the decision decided that was a good direction, I honestly couldn't answer."[40]

Sounds like the whole "prioritizing bold, new direction" that later became the direction for the whole New 52, as in, the most important thing is making things different and new above all else
Also, what changed from 52 to One Year Later if the initial plan was going back to basic? Was turning evil and recovering from it will lead to her reset? It doesn't look like it if they leave everything to Beechen

According to Wizard Magazine #182, the storyline was "one of the most controversial changes to come out of DC's 'One Year Later' event", and "fans rose up in arms, organizing websites and letter-writing campaigns to protest the change." Dan Didio commented, "I'm glad to see there was a reaction created, it shows that people care about the character and want to see something happen with her."[43]

Later, Geoff Johns was quoted as saying, "We will be addressing in Teen Titans exactly what the deal is with her. Is she a bad guy? How? Why? She was a completely different character before 'One Year Later,' so let's find out what happened."[42]
