[The Lucky One]

I love the "Dark Knight Round Table." Also nice to know that Steph and Cass have their own logo's now (or did they always, even as non-Batgirls?) .

Steph never had a logo in her original Spoiler days, no. Since her costume was just something she threw together out of old clothes, and Batman would only ever accept her into the family for five minutes at a time before changing his mind and banishing her (seriously, he did that like all the time), there was never really a need for one. I think the "Night of the Monster Men" crossover was the first appearance of logos for Steph and post-Flashpoint Cass. (Pre-Flashpoint Cass was never active as anyone but Batgirl, so her logo was always the yellow outline Bat symbol.)

Just calling themselves "The Team" worked fine for the Team in Young Justice,

I liked the continued use of symbols for Steph and Cass - I thought that was a really nice note by Tynion and Barrows, carrying over from Monster Men.

It was a good week in comics. And this issue of 'Tec was up there. Loved the art, the black and red color schemes were cool. Victim Syndicate is a good concept for new threats, much more than the colony imo. I'm REALLY liking this arc so far.

I'm glad it feels slower and creepier than the first arc. That's appropriate for this particular story, and the change of pace is nice after a lot of action.

I am enjoying this book. Those villains are creepy as fuck,and I love how they arent just bad to be bad. They have a personal grudge against Batman. Luke is written much better here, and its clear that is he is the Tony Stark of the team. Batwoman has to work out with her issues with him. This book is even making me sympatize with Clayface.

It doesn't make sense for the team to never get a name. This thing isn't some slapdash "oh we were at the right place right time" kind of deal. They purposely assembled and trained this squad, came up with logos and icons for each character and gave them their own base. All very team-y stuff. Its going to come.

Again, love this issue. This is the Luke Fox I've always wanted to read. He's cocky, smart and earnest in a grating way if you're not that kind of person without coming across as unlikable.

Luke is great, but I have to agree that Clayface has been a pleasant surprise. I didn't understand why add a villian to the squad, and why Clayface if you need a Bat-villian (cause he's not kicky/punchy) but watching his story develop has been great.

intersting that poison ivy has only been in action for three months.

That's not at all what was said. It said that the guy who became Mr. Noxious was under Ivy's control for three months, back when she first started out.
