scans_dailyBut this is the New 52, and this is two preview pages from Forever Evil #1, out this week
More pages here
Dick is back visiting Gotham to deliver an escape Mr Zsasz, and chatting to Babs over the radio when he see's something flying toward Arkham...
Surely one Robin death a year is enough... but I can see the Crime Syndicate wanting to use one Earth hero as an example to the others, and that can't end well. I don't know what properties Ultra-Woman's lasso has, (I can't imagine making someone lie is that useful a power), but if it has a corrupting influence, as an opposite to Wonder Woman's purifying influence, then what might that do to the usually incorruptible Dick Grayson.
We'll find out in a couple of days I suppose.

Date: 2013-09-03 01:52 am (UTC).... So.... Just a question for anyone who may know more about Nu52 as I don't follow it all as much as I could/should.
Are like... -ANY- Former Robins in good 'condition'. Jason's Memory thing after the Acid-Bath, Tim and the whole...whatever is going on there, This happening to Dick, and Damian's fate.
..Is Helena like..next on the chopping block? Or did she already get chopped (Title cancelled?) ... Man. Guess that 'non-existence' is looking safer for Steph right now than being in the current DCU.
Edit :
Random thought. If Barb took off the Bat and is refusing the Bat due to Jr and that stuff.... and the teasers make it look like NW is going ..evil or otherwise. What if Barbara ends up during this whole mess being Nightwing until Dick returns.
Maybe the Batman in Luthor's team -is- Grayson. And now I hurt my brains with 'what is this'

Date: 2013-09-05 04:22 pm (UTC)Something with springs, and clockwork, and maybe even crocodiles! Crocodiles with shark fins tied round them for extra deathliness!
Surprisingly frayed rope as standard!
...so, yeah, I'm pretty sure you've corrupted me. Thank you! :D

Date: 2013-09-03 11:05 am (UTC)Go to Bleeding Cool look for an article titled something along the lines of
'The internet will explode on September 4th and it has to do with Nightwing and Forever Evil' There's a theory linked within it.
I don't want to tell what it is in comments because it's a huge spoiler if they are right.
no subject
Date: 2013-09-03 12:15 pm (UTC)I looked up the article and.. yeaaaah... not feeling that as an option at all (not saying it isn't something DC would do, just that it doesn't sound good).

Date: 2013-09-03 07:30 am (UTC)Maybe the Dick Grayson of Earth-Three died, so Owlman's gonna want to keep this one close. Kind of like that dealie with the Justice Lords and their Flash.
Also, check it - somebody shadowed a potential Nightwing butt-shot, first panel.
I'm a dude, but I'm well aware of s_d's love for the daring young man and his "flying trapeze", so, you know.

Date: 2013-09-03 09:08 am (UTC)It's never explained WHY he wanted Tim or (shudder) in what way, but there was some interesting speculation around at the time. Some, as you might imagine, was fairly sordid, but my favourite was that since, even by Earth-3 standards Owlman is viewed as being particularly creepy, what he might actually have wanted WAS a true, caring father/son relationship with the orphaned kid who has just been released from the hold an abusive father.
On Earth-3 that would be seen as past kinky and into the downright perverse...

Date: 2013-09-03 10:32 am (UTC)A sort of "join me and we can rule the multiverse as father and son" set-up.
I'm still afraid for him, though - from what I know, he and the Flashes have a pretty solid record of standing at the good side of the board. No telling how someone like Owlman's gonna react to that.

Date: 2013-09-03 10:22 pm (UTC)So, obviously Dick would just resort to torturing Jason by bringing up the Joker.
I put too much thought into this.
