Convergence solicits continue to tease and tempt

Pre-Flashpoint DCU is used a LOT in these solicits, I wonder why? ;)

But when she’s attacked by Catman and Gorilla Grodd from the world of Flashpoint, she’s forced to put on the cape and cowl to fight alongside Red Robin and Cassandra Cain!

Look it's a Tim I might actually give a crap about!! Oh and as for the other two ladies... Don't screw this one up! Don't screw this one up! Don't screw this one up!

STARRING HEROES FROM THE PRE-FLASHPOINT DCU! Life for Harley Quinn has become downright normal over the last year. Will she be ready to go nuts when Catwoman and Poison Ivy draft her to fight – Captain Carrot?!

I hadn't really realist how much I've so missed Harley's classic look.

That's quite a line up... was Flashpoint Aquaman that dangerous? I never followed that title

Are Roy's eyebrows on top of his domino mask?
Is the mask perhaps painted on... or the eyebrows?

Also, man, do I surprisingly miss that Red Robin costume,
and it was never even all that great to begin with.
Really, it highlights more the blandness of the new look
than of any good qualities in the old one.

Are Roy's eyebrows on top of his domino mask?

Just very convenient shadows I think.

[junipepper]

I think the mask has eyebrows.

[icon_uk]

Very useful thing, eyebrows....

Though in some cases, like BTAS Harley Quinn or BTAS Robin, the domino mask actually replaces the eyebrows in terms of facial expressions.

On the good side..an all female Justice League? Sign me up!

On the other hand, Frank Tieri.

I think this will be a miss for me.

-On the good side..an all female Justice League? Sign me up!

I liked how the JLA before the reboot had such a female heavy lineup. Donna, Jade, Supergirl, Jesse, alongside Dickbats, Congorilla, and Starman. With the girls obviously being more of the heavy hitters.

"CURSE YOU, BAT-FAMILY! Gorilla Grodd DEMANDS his gargantuan Dagwood sandwich back, and he will CONTINUE to hold this exact pose until it is BACK in his hands!"

[philippos42]

:D

[q99]

Oh yes, the pre-reboot Justice League, majority female! Zat, Vix, and Mera weren't on it, but they're suitable additions.

-That's quite a line up... was Flashpoint Aquaman that dangerous? I never followed that title-

I didn't either but the world was supposed to be caught in between a fairly close war between him and Wonder Woman, so I guess so?

[espanolbot]

Aww.... they're all gonna die aren't they? :(

[night4345]

Already said this before on another Convergence post but it works here too.
seriously DC? No one on staff could have checked their own history or just went on Wikipedia to see that Roy Harper already had a chance to resurrect Lian but decided she was in a better place?
Just feels like DC is rubbing salt in the wound.
Also not sure what the Bat Family is going to do against Gorilla Grodd or why Flashpoint Aquaman is an actual threat against those heroines.

[icon_uk]

Unless this isn't Lian from HIS Earth, but from one of the others that are all scrunched into Convergence.

[night4345]

I'm talking about Roy retreating from the world after losing his arm and Lian. Something Roy already went through and made peace with Lian's death.

[jlbarnett]

maybe Roy grabbed a Lian from a different universe

That kid Dinah adopted and forgot about. She's still around right?

[7dialsmystery]

Maybe it's Sin if it's not LIan.

[starwolf_oakley]

...

IT'S A TRAP!

[drtechnobabel]

Starfire and Donna Troy track down Arsenal, who had retreated after the loss of his arm and the death of his daughter – but what they find is more terrifying than they ever could have expected!

So if Lian is dead, who is Roy holding?

Maybe Lian being alive again is what Donna and Starfire find so terrifying? Seriously, maybe it's just because I have so little faith in DC right now, but I have the sinking feeling that the issue is going to end with them deciding they have to kill Lian for whatever reason.

[icon_uk]

She might be the Earth-3 Lian, and thus evil and manipulative.

[jekylls_salvation]

Questions:

So Jason Todd's going back to being a bad murdering crazy bad guy?

And Ivy's going back to not-so-practical strapless planty(?) one-piece?

Wait. Does that mean Star Sapphire's wearing her traditional thing too?

Remember when the justice league was Bat-Grayson and Wonder-Donna and a blond talking gorilla? Wasn't that right before flashpoint?

Why does Flashpoint Aquaman hate women?

Which version of Donna is this? (just kidding, don't try)

[ablackraptor]

I think its all just a temporary thing rather than a 'all this stuff is coming back' thing, so technically, this Jason never stopped being a bad murdering crazy bad guy, Ivy never stopped wearing her suit, etc.

[qalchemist]

Nobody is commenting on Harley Quinn vs Captain Carrot?

Am I the only Zoo-Crew fan left? >.>

[sagrada]

"Zoo-Crew"? That sounds rather...unserious for a comic book. Have they considered a more Serious name, such as the Menagerie? Image is important, gotta let people know you're hardcore, or else they'll only take you seriously after you do something. And that's crazy. The Zoo-Crew is all crazy!
Personally I was more filled with joy and relief to see the real Harley Quinn costume again, barely noticed anything else around the solicit.

[jekylls_salvation]

Menagerie WAS the name of an Image character.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

I thought the dome thing was Nu52? No?

[icon_uk]

It's everyone I think, all the eras are represented, there's the Nu52, the Post Crisis/Pre-Flashpoint and the pre-Crisis.

*Wipes tear* Oh, how I miss pre-boot....
