Hey kids, it's the Nu52: Birds of Prey 4

[knight_moves]

Last time, the Birds of Prey got on a train to stop two Cleaner-adjacent people they thought might be able to explode due to trigger phrases. And Poison Ivy is there too, for reasons definitely having nothing to do with her being a popular character with a large, modern fanbase.



Dinah wakes up after realizing she was infected and almost being hit by a trigger phrase.







Okay, people, start counting: how long until "Starling has a broken hand" is completely forgotten by the narrative?

After a flashback to how they stopped the train and saved everyone (go team) it's exposition time.





Oh, and they called in Batgirl for a team-up. Which is maybe just meant to soften the blow of Babs not being on the team, but feels a touch desperate to me. Even a little ill-advised. "Yeah, we COULD put Babs in here, but then it'd be harder to regress her character as much as we want to. We're going for Tom Holland Spider-Man with her, not Tobey Maguire Spider-Man."



And we're officially going with a mindfuck storyline. Are those ever satisfying?
