Violet
Paige’s mom is confined to Arkham – for now. If Vi can find the right kind of
help, she’s determined to bust her out. Batman? Out of the question. Joker? Too
unpredictable. Riddler? Too volatile? Thanksfully, this universe has its own
version of Catwoman. The trouble is locating her in the jungle known as
Robinson Park, “a pristine nature preserve right in the heart of Gotham.” No
kidding? How could such a thing be? I’ll give you two initials – I.V. Got it?
But
even if she makes it inside, what of Mother Panic’s new sidekick, Fennec Fox?
She’d love to come along – and believe me, nobody needs to be inside Arkham
more than she does. But Mother Panic can’t quite see that yet. She’s only
focused on the potential ally she expects to find inside. I could share that
identity with you, but, you know, spoilers.
The
current story arc is too early in the making for me to form a strong opinion,
but the alternate universe idea is a big help. Until her roll on this Earth is
determined, I’m willing to keep an open mind. She seemed redundant and wasted on
Earth 1, so let’s hope for something different in her new world.
But
as to which Earth this may is yet to be determined. A villainous Luthor is
still running around in a Superman cape, but only for a limited time, it seems.
New revelations will come, I’m sure, but I can be patient – up to a point.
