This will seem kind of dumb, but I was a huge fan of Azrael from Sword Of, through the conclusion of the first Azrael series. The past week I got really excited to see Azrael in a JPV style suit on the cover of Batman and Robin Eternal, but it looks like it is Michael and not JPV behind the mask.
I know JPV as AzBat was part of convergence, but felt half done with what was presented. Is JPV dead within New52? Did he ever exist on that earth? Does the original Order of St Dumas even exist?
Early on during the new 52 run, I thought maybe the Court of Owls was the New 52 Order of St. Dumas, and Azrael was now Talon...but no...
Help clear things up for me here...the concept and design of the JPV Azrael was awesome.
