Simone teased the roster of the book including a new character she introduced in The New 52 Batgirl run.

“It’s mostly new characters, but a couple might have subtle ties to the DCU at large,” Simone told Comic Book Resources. “I am absolutely in love with the core cast, I think they’re fresh and thrilling and unlike the characters in any other comic. That said, sharp-eyed readers have already spotted two familiar characters; Katharsis, the brutal avenger from the popular Knightfall arc in BATGIRL, and Tremor, a wonderful badass character who appeared in the pre-[New] 52 SECRET SIX. It’s a cast of favorites for me; I haven’t had this much fun with a cast since the Secret Six!”

Pandora has “unjustly shouldered the blame for every bad thing that has happened in the universe,” and “she’s going to kill and kill and kill,” said Fawkes.

DC Comics Gets Political!

Comic books have often reflected social issues of the time. Class struggle was a key element in The Dark Knight Rises. The Occupy Wall Street movement is the inspiration for two all-new comic books. Each book will tackle a side of the movement. DC Comics announced the two brand new series via Huffington Post.

Gail Simone (Batgirl, Birds of Prey) and Freddie Williams III (Batwoman) are the creative team on The Movement.

“THE MOVEMENT is an idea I’ve had for some time,” Simone told The Huffington Post. “It’s a book about power — who owns it, who uses it, who suffers from its abuse. As we increasingly move to an age where information is currency, you get these situations where a single viral video Continue reading DC Comics Gets Political!
