Default Who do you think is in the box in the BFTC teaser?

From what I understand the Battle for the Cowl teaser is still relevant, since we are still seeing elements from this picture in recent comics.



Who do you think will eventually end up in the box?

I think it will either be

1) Vicki Vale

or

2) Cassandra Cain

Vicki Vale recently found out that Bruce was Batman, Dick was Nightwing, Tim was Robin. Now that Bruce is gone she should be able to put 2 and 2 together and discover that Dick is now Batman and that Hush is just masquerading as Bruce.

I can see her being killed by one of the rogues, possibly Two-Face or Harley Quinn based off the teaser. She knows to much. Odds are Batman will try to save her, but she is to "dangerous" for DC to keep around.

It could also be Cassandra Cain. She is notably absent along the other heroes on the picture. Plus she has had almost 0 role/appearances since her last miniseries. She was in like 1 panel in the main BFTC storyline and was in BFTC The Network. Plus DC seems to hate her...

Also the upcoming Batgirl miniseries seems to show a different Batgirl each cover. She is my favorite DC woman but things look bleak for her.

Your thoughts?

You know, I wonder if DC always intended to put Two-Face in a bat-suit, or if that was just something Daniel did for the poster, and then he asked for this upcoming arc so he could make it a reality?

Other than that, the box is about the only thing we haven't seen yet. I wonder if earlier plans changed? Because weren't we told someone wouldn't survive BFTC? I wonder who they were referring to? I don't think anybody thought Jason actually died and it would be lame if they meant that DA that we'd never even seen before.

I don't think it will be Vale; as I see it, she doesn't know, she supects. I've wondered about Cassie before. If it is, I think DC will take an enormous hit from her fans. I also wondered about Babs, but I think that would have happened at the end of the Oracle mini if it was going to. So who knows?

Could it be that the image was originally intended for Judd winick's scrapped, longer version of Battle For The cowl?

Didio said during one of his 20 answers segments on Newsarma, that not all the pictures in this image have played-out yet. He said Harley holding a gun and the father/son picture was especially interesting to him.

*SPOILER*







Two-Face Batman is in October's Tony Daniel Arc.


I'd say Cass is in the box, giving Steph motivation to be Batgirl............unless Harley kills Selina..

*EDIT*

Manicured nails on the hand.

Hush kills Vicki Vale.

I think what's not being fully considered is what the box SAYS. "Wayne Enterprises".

That says to me that indeed Selina is more likely to be involved than any other woman. Not only because of her connection to Bruce Wayne, but also her connection to Hush "Wayne".

No idea why Todd's stupid version of Batman would be perched up top of her though. That part could just be a coincidence.

I doubt there's any direct connection to Harley though. The two parts of the picture are too distant from each other. If Harley's involved at all, its simply as part of the backdrop for whatever happens to Selina, just as Selina would only be part of the backdrop of whatever makes Harley hold one of Mr. J's "bang" guns.

I will admit, it really DID always strike me as somewhat odd that Selina didn't have a notable reference in this drawing. Then again, I thought the same thing about Cass, and nothing's come of that either (Babs, at the very least, is loosely referenced by the wheelchair wheel).

Of course, being in the box may not mean a literal death. Everything else in this picture is symbolic, so why not that? It could mean any number of things.

I'm also wondering about the Bruce/Hush duo with Damien. They're now seemingly on opposite sides, but forced into proximity. Is what we're seeing in their little pose indicative of anything? Didio's own tease indicates "maybe".

Actually, just about everything at that pic has become literal, with the exception of the body. My guess is Vicki confronts Hush as "Bruce", exposes him as batman, and Hush feels the need to off her, as Hush would recieve a LOT of unwanted attention from the underworld if/when that fact comes to light. That being said, it is easily disproven with dick running around as batman.

interesting times ahead.....
