Merlyn you note elsewhere: he's been around sporadically since 1970's Justice League of America #94, and he was co-created by Neal Adams (just like Ra's and the Sensei). <BR/><BR/>The guy with the hook is a reference to Hook, the LoA tryout who killed Boston (Deadman) Brand in his origin story.Omar Karinduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07385188359924736477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438390520234716011.post-3175229139480643742009-03-14T11:27:00.000-07:002009-03-14T11:27:00.000-07:00While I highly doubt it'll be as annotation-worthy...While I highly doubt it'll be as annotation-worthy as Morrison's Batman (i.e. it'll be more straightforward), I have faith in Nicieza's Azrael. The man turns in quality work. In fact, I was thinking of doing a Recommendations section where I point blog readers to his Robin, a run that I felt was tight, punchy, and cohesive, unfairly overshadowed by the saliently OKAY Tomasi stint on Nightwing.Cass Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585392369613571176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438390520234716011.post-33109584959047329322009-03-11T03:11:00.000-07:002009-03-11T03:11:00.000-07:00I'll correct that ...Things seem to cross over lat...I'll correct that ...<BR/><BR/>Things seem to cross over later, since all signs are pointing to the Third Ghost, Lane being the new Azrael, and he'll be wearing the Suit of Sorrows introduced here.<BR/><BR/>Can Nicieza make something out of Morrison's insane, Devil-born Third Ghost, and the very random and arbitrarily thrown in Suit of Sorrows? That's going to be a neat experiment in Morrison application.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2438390520234716011.post-53055825528751309922009-03-11T02:55:00.000-07:002009-03-11T02:55:00.000-07:00It's interesting that the League of Assassins, lea...It's interesting that the League of Assassins, lead by a Demon, has been running parallel with the Black Glove, lead by a Devil, with similar modes of operation, similar "cheesy B-Level villains in their ranks", similar possession and both having a love interest for Batman ... and that the only real crossover they have comes from Nanda Parbat, and later when Talia starts killing Black Glove members in retribution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
