A Geek’s “Night of the Owls” Confession

  I bought Batwing #9 only because it was part of the Night of the Owls crossover. Don’t just me unworthy, even a geek with a blog has a comic book budget. I was impressed with this new hero and enjoyed Judd Winick and Marcus To’s tie-in to the crossover.

  Spinning out of Batman, The Court of Owls have unleashed their Talons on targets all over Gotham City. Bruce Wayne’s trusted ally Lucius Fox has been judged unworthy. Batwing must stop the death sentence during a Batman Incorporated event.

 The script was tight and action packed but gives you insight into David – and I was immediately engaged. It’s too obvious and cliche to say he reminds me of working man’s Black Panther because they’re both from Africa but I also see the some of Hawkeye’s personality in David. This was my first Batwing issue and the first of many more.

  The Court of Owls has been manipulating Gotham City for centuries. The Talons are the secret society’s enforcers. Talons from different eras will arise to attack Batman and his allies.

  Batman artist Greg Capullo is designing Talons from various periods of Gotham’s past and revealed his latest creation to The Source.  

  “It was like using a magnet in a junkyard. Just a lot of stuff that doesn’t mean much, but looks cool.”

  Batwing will face this Steampunk influenced Talon in the Night of the Owls crossover.

Don’t Call It the Batwing!

  Batman is chasing Bane in a flying machine in the trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. It’s been referred to as the Batwing but today Wireless Goodness is reporting that it’s being officially called “The Bat.”

  The news developed after a FCC filing by Hot Wheels on their upcoming toy version. The source claims this image is from the instruction manual from the vehicle that will be on store shelves later this year.
