With less than a month until the debut of Mother Panic, I figured now was as good a time as any to make an appreciation thread for Gotham's newest vigilante (as of this writing, anyway).
Why not wait until it's released? Well, even though there's admittedly not a lot to go on right now, we do know some things about her already. Look at this preview from issue #1, shown during NYCC:
VioletPaige.jpg
A fair bit of info from just one, uh, page:
-She's calculating
-She takes initiative
-She's outwardly crass and juvenile
-She likes attention
-She's tabloid fodder
In addition, we know from various other previews and interviews that Violet has an older brother (Victor), a dead father, a sick mother, and spent a decade of her life in a mysterious boarding school called Gather House. She also has super-strength and a highly advanced suit, the capabilities of which are not known at this time. And she's going to cross paths with Batman, of course, but that's just icing.
Can't wait until we learn more about her on November 9th!

I'm very interested in this series! I hope that we get some cool vigilante action, though I'm surprised about the super-strength.

It's implied that the Gather House gave her that power somehow, but of course we don't know yet. My own crazy theory is that if she's not a meta, she got her powers from the same person as Gotham and Gotham Girl, and her suit negates the "burning up your life" part of it.

Interesting. That seems a bit more connected to mainstream plots than I would expect Young Animal to be. But we shall see!

That's the big wrinkle in my theory. But since this book will be in Gotham and have Batfam cameos, it could be the exception. Originally Posted by millernumber1

Put me in the "wait until it's released" camp regarding an APPRECIATION thread.
After all, shouldn't we wait to see if it's any good or not before we sing the APPRECIATION hosannas?

I highly doubt it'll be terrible. Even if it is, someone is bound to like it, and that's who these kind of threads are for. Plus this is more about the character herself (though the book is obviously tied closely to her). Originally Posted by MajorHoy
