Batman and El Gaucho in... "Scorpion Tango"

Four pages from BATMAN, INC 3...

The issue begins with a flashback sequence set during the Falklands Crisis, in which some British superheroes (including the first Knight) invading a villain's lair.

Whatever that's about, I'm sure it will tie into the present day going-ons by story arc's end.

	Ok... no one guessing its Bruce is now pushing all bounds of reason and comic limits... what did Bruce learn in his time adventures besides more levels of badass? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	You mean El Gaucho? I think it's a mix of Bruce's "playboy act" being so good that no one could possibly believe it (think like All-Star Superman), or El Gaucho's being really nice at the moment--"if he's not telling me who he is, but I'll keep quiet out of respect."

Now that looks suspiciously like the Shade in panel five. It certainly is like him to brutally murder superheroes like that. Or was like him, I guess is more accurate.

Other than that, I could like this. The "Tango master" was a nice touch. As was the "Ive met Bruce, and you dont fool me". Unless its Dick. Then its tantalizing but nothing special yet.

	Its Bruce in these panels. Note the manly shoulders and the dark sexiness. Seriously I thought I was a super straight male till 5 seconds ago. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Do we know that the Shade was the only person to be transformed the way he was? It involved a magical ritual, correct? Rituals are assembled through trial and error... The Shade may have had a predecessor. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

	Hm, although the Shade being there and attacking the other British heroes (he IS from London though he moved to the US in the late 1800s) might make sense if it was Culpe, I think that it might be the oft-mentioned but never appeared Knight villain Sping Heeled Jack in that scene there.

	"Poison Cinderella" would be an awesome name for a riot-grrl band. Or a female heavy-mythril band. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Is it just me or is this title getting exponentially more outrageous by the issue? Not to mention unbelievable even by comics standards. And my standards are pretty low because, yeah, comics fan. =P (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	A bit--that's part of the reason why I absolutely LOVE this book. It's, like, a perfect mix of modern-day thriller and storytelling with 60s show fun. :D (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I thought the point of them was to have them not be so likeable, as they're only cannon fodder. You don't create a character based on Margaret Thatcher for her likeability. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 10 comments) (Show 10 comments)

	Ooh, good eye. That would fit with the 'everything counts' approach Morrison has taken to his continuity, and given the shaky timeline of Seven Soldiers, Zor could be involved. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Funny the "duende" in our language is a short, hairy old man--a dwarf who lives in mounds. You can understand my confusion when she mentioned it. (Reply to this)
