I see this in Newsarama and I put this for the followers of this comic:

Excited to see Snyder tackle Mad Hatter.

Art looks good. Be interesting to see if we get a bit more about the overarcing threat (Ra's?) as we only have #9 left ("“Ends of the Earth” finale!" DC's site says)

LOL flamingo attack. This series continues to be so much fun

[ProgmanX]

"Because my family knows how to #$%^ fight." Perfect.

''I Could See the look in his eyes just before the flamingo hit him''

Lmao

[thefiresky]

Idk if I feel this...

[Nick Miller]

Holy.....that art is amazing

[Scott Taylor]

Did Batman just pop Wolverine claws?

Wow, Camuncoli's work here looks a lot better then mots of his recent art in Amazing Spider-Man .

Did Tetch try to apply his research to Wayne Enterprises? I guess I could see that. Though it's interesting having that come after an issue with Ivy who was also retroactively established to have worked at Wayne Enterpires prior to becoming a Supervillain.

So Duke is Batman's "partner." I wonder if that's going to last since Bruce is supposedly training him to be something much more then that?

Surprised to see the Blackhawks turn up like this. Interesting choice of words in saying the originals "vanished."

Heh. Flamingos .

Fake Nightwing hit with a (fake) bird, hehe.

Okay, I know that Batwoman was fake, but did anyone else find the way he defeats her to be really similar to how Spoiler defeated her in 'Tec? Taser Batarang.

Did Batman just pop Wolverine claws?

Sure looks that way.

I noticed that too. Colony Prime also momentarily incapacitated her with an electricity-based something-or-other. Drugs are already her big weakness, I guess electricity is another.

He already did in an earlier issue:

Actually, it was established in Zero Years : she was working for one of Jacob Kane's scientist who was killed by Doctor Death. She barely appears (like, five panels) but she is named there.

On another topic, this preview look amazing. I had some difficulties getting into the roadtrip at first, but the issues since it has ended have been rather good. This one looks like it will actually be a really fun read, which is great. Dark and funny aren't necessarily incompatible and Snyder seems to know how to marry the two. I can't wait to get the whole issue.

Those are batarangs between his fingers I think, not claws.

Err, having a weakness to electricity is a pretty bad weakness to have, tasers aren't exactly uncommon. Plus, there are some villains that use electricity.

Still, if she had too few weaknesses she'd be a bit boring.
As far as I know she's possibly the only Batfamily member who is mostly bulletproof (except for her head since the cowl doesn't cover her all over, and I don't think it was clarified if the mask has the nanites like her suit).
