What ever happened to Talon (Calvin Rose)?

[MajorHoy]

Does anybody remember when he was last used in a story?

He got his own series about a year into the New52


and that lasted until issue #17.

After that, I think he may have shown up in Batman Eternal and/or Batman and Robin Eternal in one of those generic "all Bat-Family and allies" generic group scenes, but beyond that, . . . ?

I think his trope was to be the "What if Dick was a Talon", but he was quickly forgotten. According to Comic Vine last time he appear was in Batman 18, Rebirth era.

I wonder if Tynion would bring him back.

I think that he was killed. Then the court resurrected him, but he has to serve them gently ortherwise they'll kill his friends/familly. So he is back to behing a plain Talon for the court.

He seems to have been going to have been part of Batman Eternal, back in it's earliest form when it still seemed to be tying into the Blonde Dick Grayson Tynion run on Nightwing that was replaced by "Grayson" - so possibly he'd have been in that book too?

As published, I think he had a small appearance in Batman Eternal #50 - some dialogue, but no real plot significance.

A shame, I remember thinking the character had a lot of potential.

I think Talon and Strix are roommates and are retired. That's my idea for them. I miss both of them

Bullet dodged. Not only because Grayson was amazing but because we avoided yet another Tynion book.

I believe in ish #17, the finale, he bathed in the Lazarus Pit and was restored to life, so no longer a servant of the Court. Of course, it’s been damn near 10 years, so I might be misremembering.

He struck me more as a bootleg JPV so now that the real deal is back (even if he's closer to Michael Lane in personality) he has no reason to stick around.
