The Red Robin ("Batman's Detective Heir") entry also mentions Jason but only indirectly: "[I]Tim Drake is a young man with an incredible investigative mind. He impresses Batman by deducing not only his secret identity but also those of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd.[/I]"

And in case someone wonders: There is no entry for Black Mask.[/QUOTE]

I know this is tangential: is there an entry on Duke Thomas?

I also noticed that Cheshire lists the Outlaws as one of her main foes:

On another note: LEGO® DC Super-Villains is 60% off on Steam. Since I decided to ignore DC comics this week I'm considering playing the game as an alternative.

Besides the utterly baffling decision of making the guns part of the belt and not including guns whatsoever (despite having a set of hands to hold guns) is a pretty nice figure. I'm still expecting the Essentials one to be THE definitive Jason figure though.

cool beans, interesting they didn't put The Outsiders as an affiliation. I guess it was released before he official was an Outsider. Anyway, thanks man good looks!

It's a good game. It's fun, and visually speaking, the prettiest so far. Its story is also funny and the Little Gotham that you navigate is neat.

[QUOTE=lemonpeace;4524070]cool beans, interesting they didn't put The Outsiders as an affiliation. I guess it was released before he official was an Outsider. Anyway, thanks man good looks![/QUOTE]

Selina's entry mentions Bruce proposing to her and Joker is mad in his entry because he isn't invited to the wedding - so my guess is that the entry texts were finished by summer 2018. This would coincide with the Red Hood entry because the artwork seems to be a last minute change from the old to the current costume.

Black Lightning, Cassandra and Katana also don't mention the Outsiders. There is no entry for Gnomon.

[QUOTE=lemonpeace;4524070]cool beans, interesting they didn't put The Outsiders as an affiliation. I guess it was released before he official was an Outsider. Anyway, thanks man good looks![/QUOTE]I think the book came out before they launched Batman and the Outsiders.
And considering why much they probably need to to put such a book together, and that the book is not Published by DC, it seem pretty up to date.

But Tim is for example also still listed as Red Robin, and Young Justice is also not mentioned.

Joker?! Really?! Kinda underwhelming.

That panel was the one where I thought he never mentioned Roy in Rebirth until later, but apparently, he did.

I hope they fix Joker's design. His character will be released at the end of January. So there is a little bit of time left to make him look more like himself.



Has anyone else read Black Mask: Year of the Villain yet? There is a scene similar to one in RHatO and I don't know if Tom Taylor and Cully Hamner deliberately reference it or if the similarity is a coincidence.

Major spoiler:

RHatO #1:

She is. Lobdell said during that podcast that the woman is Babe's Mother's dead body reanimated by one of Babe's inventions.

I doubt it. There's only so much action sequences you can do inside a car.

[QUOTE=Dark_Tzitzimine;4525703]She is. Lobdell said during that podcast that the woman is Babe's Mother's dead body reanimated by one of Babe's inventions.[/QUOTE]

So she's just a puppet or does she still have a "soul"?

Puppet, going by Lobdell's words.

[QUOTE=Dark_Tzitzimine;4525723]Puppet, going by Lobdell's words.[/QUOTE]

That sounds extremely sad.



Here's another accidentally similar scene. This time between RH:O #30 and Detective Comics #1009. Some user on Twitter pointed it out.

So far I love all the characters and their designs. Lobdell and Rocafort did a great job in creating something modern that feels like a breath of fresh air. There is so much diversity in this group of characters. It's a good mix of different ethnicities, genders, personalities and probably moralities too. But despite or even because of all those differences I feel like this group will have a great dynamic.
I'm actually surprised that Lobdell made Bunker leave. I feel like Bunker would have been a great addition in the upcoming story arc.

I think Bunker is a good guy at heart and wouldn't have worked with it.

No matter what you think about Lobdell, it has to acknowledge him as one of the few creators that create new characters without using pre-existent characters as a crutch. And for the most part, the characters he makes are pretty distinctive and as you point out, diverse. I'd even argue that his creations are more earnest in that front.

AH! That's it! I was wondering what on Earth her design was reminding me off, yeah she does have a kinda borderlands Siren vibe.
I was assuming she was an empath/telepath based on the name, but I wonder if she has some kind of elemental or weather powers as well, based on that image.

I have no idea, honestly. Could be a mixed powerset of both, empathy-esque and weather powers. I was wondering the logic behind the name. Babe in Arms is a wordplay, I guess (because, well, we have a babe in arms but he's also a bellicose baby). I can't think of a proper wordplay behind, but it could be some reference to the Ninth Heaven, I guess.

The wordplay is "to be on cloud nine". In the preview Cloud Nine reads a book with the title "Your Romance" (probably a romance book). And she fake-flirts with Red Hood. So I guess she's into romance stuff.

I had to google it because I was confused too. In my native language the phrase goes "to be on cloud seven".
And when searching for the origin of cloud nine there are different sources. Some state that it was originally called cloud seven, then later cloud eight and now we have cloud nine.

Ha ha. In my own, it's "to be in the Seventh Heaven", which apparently has an almost perfect mirror in English, it seems.

To be on Cloud Nine is to be happy, joyful to the point of being giddy. I'm guessing her powers will deal with some kind of emotional manipulation to make one passive and giddy?

For a short moment I thought the knife in the RH:O #37 preview is the one from #27. But it's a completely different design.

I also wonder if Jason gave Manhunter's staff back at the end of Event Leviathan #3
- and if it would be considered cannibalism or not if Devour ate Cyborg's metal parts.
