IGN has a preview of Red Hood and the Outlaws #0

One scan under the cut...

And I have to ask this....



Are there ANY women over the age of 30 in the DCnU?



THAT'S Dr Leslie Thompkins? Remember when she was a handsome (rather than pretty), kick-ass, woman in her 50's with short hair? Yeah, me too... (Heck, I remember when she was a sweet little old lady in her 70's who just happened to have been the first person to show the newly orphaned Bruce kindness, the night his parents died)

Is there some sort of Logan's Run age limit on women in the new DCU or something? When they hit 35 they evaporate or something? (Amanda Waller de-aged, Ma Kent no longer around... no JSA members around the place)

The rest of the preview can be seen here, can't say I'm overly impressed.

Sigh, DEFINITELY time to start digging out an "Accentuate the Positive" post, for me if not for you foiks....

I think Alfred might be the only person over forty period.

And Commissioner Gordon and Colonel Jacob Kane. I still can't come up with anyone female though. :(

I'm not completely familiar with the DCnU, but at a wild guess:

Vandal Savage?
Hippolyta? And by that measure Circe?

Until we find out otherwise, I'm bracing myself for the possibility that Vandal will be turned into an eternally 16-year old warrior heartthrob to grab at the Twilight demographic.

Vandal has shown up in the DCnU, in... DC Presents? I forget, whatever the anthology title is. And he's the same old monster he's always been. The story was his daughter (who is an FBI profiler) using him as a CI to try and stop a copycat of the ritual murders Savage himself committed when she was a child.

No, his daughter's not Scandal.

Vandal's a regular in "Demon Knights", and is his old, unchanging self...

Speaking of which, does this mean Alfred/Leslie is gone? Alfred doesn't seem like type of guy, who would date younger woman.

Deathstroke's definitely still in the late-40s early-50s range.
