Kind of wish they asked how the title is apparently supposed to tie into Night of the Owls. Someone brought up a good point that Batman and Robin will focus on Damian for that issue, but who will this title focus on? It see,s kind of pointless to have another Batman NotO story in another book. I've got to guess Gordon if anything.

Not a single mention of why Arkham City's Bane is in this comic. No mention of him at all. Tsk tsk.
In war the elders may give the orders, but it's the young who have to fight.

Snyder: It's going to crossover into Batman and Robin, Batman: The Dark Knight, Catwoman, Batwing, Red Hood and the Outlaws, Nightwing, All-Star Western, Batgirl and Birds of Prey.

The White Rabbit was more fun when she was a Spider-Man foe.

For the same reason that Clayface impersonated the Joker and the Batwing looks like the one from Arkham Asylum. They copy things from the games. Originally Posted by starman

It's only a matter of months until Bane becomes the movie version.

Yes, Really.
Newsarama: According to Snyder, the books that tie into "The Night of the Owls" will include Batman, Batgirl, Nightwing, Batman and Robin, Birds of Prey, Catwoman, Batwing and Red Hood and the Outlaws . The history of the Court of Owls will also show up in All-Star Western.

i was down on this book at first but really, it's one of the better books DC is putting out if you're in the right state of mind to read it.

Seriously? I don't think she sounds (or reads) anything like Catwoman. Originally Posted by battyfan1

From what I read from the article, she's kind of meant to be the opposite, isn't she? Sexy? Sure. Alluring? Sure. But the similarities stop there. We'll have to wait and see till the next few issues that Jenkins teased with the revelations in the article, but I don't see how she's a ripoff, either.
