May 10, 2012 11:37 pm That's a good point you both make about the Wayne's killer. I think I agree too. Whatever direction this story takes, I'm sure it'll be great, and I can't wait to read it!

May 10, 2012 2:24 am I have a really crazy theory that I'd just like to throw out there. As pertaining to "The Fall of the House of Wayne" back up story, I believe that Jarvis Pennyworth has "doomed us all," as he put it, because he found out a secret about the Waynes...a secret that caused a Talon to be sent after him. Martha says something about it being time to "leave the nest," and I've noticed that nest is a word used only in connotation with the court of owls so far in this story....So perhaps Thomas and Martha somehow were involved with the court, Jarvis found out, a Talon came for him, and things went wrong with the Waynes and the Court, so to not make htings look suspicious they hired some no name "Joe Chill" to gun down Thomas and Martha. Eh? What do you all think?? Too crazy to be possible? Loved this issue, and the whole series. I read all 9 issues tonight just because I needed to see everything at once, you know? And then this theory came to me....oh, and I looked so hard for some sort of cryptic writing on the wall of names in the "toy Gotham" of the Court's lair...but I couldn't find anything...except for a strange mentioning of crimelabs... Few other things I noticed, Pandora shows up in issue 2 as the talon hits the car, and the entire Court of Owls mirrors Batman/Bruce Wayne (as do all of his good villains, ex: two-face - kind of obvious... the Riddler mirrors his intellect, the Joker is is absolute opposite, Mr. Freeze deals with grief in a poor fashion, etc.). Just like Bruce has a vision for the city, and even a toy replica of Gotham, so too do the Court have a vision and a toy city of Gotham. The Court's bidding is done by a masked supervillain, and Bruce's bidding is done by a masked superhero. Love everything about this series!
