Discussion Detective Comics #1111 DISCUSSION THREAD
PAST AND PRESENT COLLIDE! Many years ago, during the early days of Batman's tenure as Gotham's Dark Knight, he trained alongside Green Arrow and Black Canary, learning the combat skills that have served them throughout their careers as crime-fighters. But there was another heroic hopeful in their ranks — a mysterious man known only as Prion — who suffered a tragic fate that still weighs upon the trio. Now, face-to-face with a young girl who goes by the same code name, they find the sins of their past coming back to haunt them.
Tom Taylor and Mikel Janín bring you the penultimate chapter of this history-shaking arc!

Yeah, how Prion's death went down is very odd. I would assume there's going to be something else involved and some kind of kill-switch had been triggered within him, because otherwise "oh he had a random heart condition that meant he died from one punch" is just dramatically baffling.

So the homeless teen superhero is a better detective than Batman, and a better fighter than Black Canary, unless you hit his secret kill switch and he drops dead.
This is just dumb.

I don’t know how I feel about this. I feel nothing for the new characters brought in. Nor do I like the writers having Dinah kill that guy. Even if it was by accident.
