I want Cass as Black Bat. Simple and cool.

I will never understand why Black Bat has apparently been not what DC wants for her.

I don't expect her to be Black Bat in this Eternal. DC can't keep it simple and do what fans want with her. She can't be Batgirl, ok..so Black Bat.

Looking forward to Cassandra's new design, and hoping it's not too different from her old look .

Also looking forward to Harper interacting with Jim as Batman. That should really be fun .

Ive said it before and I'll say it again....

Harper Row is a useless character.

The art looks solid!

Harper Row is a useless character.

Harper is the third bet thing Snyder has introduced during his run, behind Julia and the Cout of Owls.

I think Julia is a Tim Seeley creation

I think Julia is a Tim Seeley creation

Julia is an ancient character that was brought to the New 52 by Snyder during Eternal. Seeley may have penned the story when Julia arrived but Snyder and Tynion were the head hanchos of the entire book.

TD: It’s a fine line, because you have your style as an artist, but you need to make sure that you get in all the little nuances of what each character is about. Dick’s posture, his demeanor, how he stands — it’s going to be much different than Tim or Jason’s. In this scene that I just drew in issue #1, we’ll see all three characters interacting with each other. You’ll see that my goal was to start showing all the differences between the three.

Jason Todd has a more carefree demeanor. Tim Drake is different from both of them — and is more serious than Dick Grayson, who plays the older brother of the group. That scene really shows the three Robins as three brothers. And the challenge of that is fun for me.

TD: I was lucky enough to be asked to design Cassandra. One of the things that I had to keep in mind is that she’s not going to look like a Batgirl, the way we last saw her. So, trying to come up with a design that feels unique to her — and fits her personality — is the challenge.

I’m happy with the outcome of the design. In fact, I’m working on that page as we speak! Hopefully people will like the new look, but I’m certain she’s going to be one of the most exciting elements of the whole storyline. And I’m excited for people to see her.

I believe that Seeley designed her look, at least.

A bit disappointed that the interviewer didn't ask any Damian questions regarding the extent of his role in Eternal 2, but still... I'm cautiously optimistic about Cain's return.

New design is fine with me, I guess. But just keep her name Black Bat I say. Not Redbird, or not plain noncostumed Cassandra Cain in jeans and a army jacket. Black Bat worked just great.

This is something that we just flat-out do NOT get enough of. I'm so looking forward to a book with them working closely together.

That art looks stellar!

True, but Snyder does refer to Julia as Seeley's character, or at least he did so in a Twitter exchange with Seeley shortly before the start of ENDGAME.

Has Julia worn a Prez t-shirt in the actual comics?

Hopefully steering away from the sneakers, plastic jewellery and zigzag combo too ha
