Birds of Prey #4 Preview

[aeka]

The preview for Birds of Prey #4 is finally up and we learn more about the invisible men in just the preview alone. Also Babs. :D









Intriguing. Is it just me or is Starling slowly becoming the brains of the BOP far more than Dinah or Barbara?

So...the Cleaners had a hideout in a missing floor in one of Gotham's skyscrapers...

Any chance that they're related to the Court of Owls that Batman's chasing over at Snyder's book? They did say that a lot of books would have little cross-overs with it, including Birds of Prey...

[aeka]

Quite possibly. To be honest I haven't even been reading Batman, so I don't even know what's going on there that might tie in with Birds.

Dude. You gotta read Batman. Definitely one of the best books coming out of DC right now.

But basically, the Court of Owls are Gotham lore, saying that they're the true masters and symbol of Gotham, running things for near centuries. Batman knows as fact that they don't exist, because he investigated them in the past. But when their assassin, Talon, tries to kill him as Bruce Wayne, he starts to find out they are, in fact real.

Huh, intriguing. Especially since I seem to recall Talon being the evil Earth-3 version of Robin, with that world's Batman being Owlman. I may have to check it out then.

I believe Snyder's said it's got nothing to do with Owlman (people thought the assassin was Owlman until the name came out), but it's still a great story. Snyder's got the character down, and Capullo is KILLING IT on the art.

Presumably just a case of a name being used more than once. Though I would love to see the E-3 Talon return.
