All right! The real Azrael, and none of this Michael whoever nonsense, crazy Beatles-loving hippie with mental issues, gold and burgandy outfit with back-wrist fire swords is back!

I still want JPV back. This New 52 one isn't him for me.

You could say the same about Tim Drake, a discount Spider-Man without the interesting personality and supporting cast. Still I prefer Lane OP, cooler suit, backstory and powers. Originally Posted by Lhynn

I think you missed my meaning. A JPV is in Tec, but it's the one from B&R Eternal, the reboot one, which is not JPV to me. A lot has changed. Originally Posted by Potanical Pardon

Drake and Parker have nothing in common. Like absolutely nothing other than both of them being smart, but thats hardly an uncommon trait.
Azrael and MK are religious nutjobs and trained killing machines. Also do i detect hurt feelings?

Ah. I had no idea. More or less skipped New 52. What are the main bullet points I should know about him? Originally Posted by JBatmanFan05

I like him on the new 52
It is obviously not the old one but it is on a good position to get there.

I was happy to see Azrael back in the new 52 BRE. Maybe it wasn't the same exact jpv, but none of the characters are, isn't that the point? And iirc mother's brainwashing was comparable to the systems. Tbh pre-flashpoint jpv never made sense how he was such a nervous dufus until he put the suit on. I mean, he couldn't even ask babs out on a date lol. Is that the characterization people want? I'm curious

I'll take pre-FP JPV, Steph & Cass over their reboot versions any day of the week. I'm sorry but I like their long winding character histories. NuJPV wasn't Batman it seems and etc. And with B&R Eternal so close enough to Rebirth, DC didn't really need to reboot Cass & JPV, they haven't needed to reboot anyone (I'm not a New 52 fan, Snyder's Batman worked because you didn't know anything was missing (until he did ZY and I just ignored that)).

DC should have put some characters to rest. Nothing against JPV but the amount of secret societies for Batman alone (Court, League of Ass, Order of St.D) is a little much. Why not fold Az into the Courts mythos and make him a Talon? Oh yeah, nobody read Talon that's why. Let's name him Azrael and watch how noone reads him again
