Unfortunately, she's only shown as a member of what is being called the "[B][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Club of Villains[/FONT][/B]", a group composed of those who have gone up against the international heroes from the "[B][FONT=Century Gothic]Club of Heroes[/FONT][/B]".

We also don't get to see Scorpiana in action in the following issue, [B][I]Batman #677[/I][/B].

Things look much more promising for her appearance in [B][I]Batman #678[/I][/B] (August 2008) when she goes up against Nightwing!

But, alas and alack, we never get to see how that confrontation goes, except for the fact that Dick later winds up imprisoned in Arkham Asylum somehow.

At least in later issues we eventually get to see Scorpiana do more than just stand around and pose.

Well that leads me to the immediate conclusion that she kicked his butt solo. :p

And in that same issue, both Pierrot Lunaire and Swagman tried to take out Tim. Previously, Le Bossu and King Kraken captured and subdued Alfred.

By the way, here's the first we see of Dick [U]after[/U] that encounter:

Scorpiana was in the surgical room with Le Bossu and a bunch of other henchmen about to lobotomize Dick when he regained his senses, immediately freed himself, trashed everyone in the room off screen before leaving them locked in, so I think she simply inject him with the blue scorpion venom from the back while he's distracted by Tim cutting off in the middle of the call.

Also... Robin's cape looks large enough to be used as a sail on a small yacht.
