After a few appearances in the last three episodes, we are formally introduced to Courtney's classmate, Yolanda Montez, who–as it turned out–wasn't always an outcast. Three months prior to Courtney's arrival, Yolanda was actually an outgoing student with ambitions to be elected into Blue Valley High School's student government. She was loved by her family and was even dating her popular classmate, Henry King Jr.

James Tynion IV Confirms Tom King's Batman/Catwoman Won't Affect Main Batman Continuity. What Does This Mean For Helena Wayne?

Earlier today, Newsarama confirmed the status quo of Tom King's upcoming Batman/Catwoman maxiseries as being 'outside the bounds of continuity' and won't impact James Tynion IV's own plans for Batman and Catwoman in his Batman run. When enquired about the status quo of Catwoman's pregnancy in the main Batman canon in an interview, Tynion had this to say:

Patreon Exclusive | Stargirl S01E03: Icicle Review

Last week was a wild week for me as Huntress and Justice Society fan, but I am definitely back with another review of Stargirl, and let me just say this one required a rewatch! Not for anything the episode did good, not for anything the episode did bad, but for what it did to shake me to the core with its shocking climax! And let me just say it sent quite a massive chill down my spine! Sit back, relax, and lets get into Stargirl, episode 03, 'Icicle!'

Catwoman 80th Anniversary Special #1: 'Helena' Is Not The Love Letter To Helena Wayne Tom King Thinks It Is

Catwoman 80th Anniversary Special #1 dropped this week, and well...I found it a bit underwhelming compared to the other anniversary comics that came out this year. Namely, the #750 anniversary issues for Wonder Woman and The Flash that were genuinely great, and Robin 80th Anniversary Special #1, which was also a favourite. For the 80-year-old feline fatale, however...I lamentably only liked four stories out of the ten that were featured: 'Skin the Cat', 'The Catwoman of Earth', 'Addicted to Trouble', and 'The Art of Picking a Lock.' Out of the four, 'The Catwoman of Earth' was the closest I got to getting a pre-Crisis Catwoman story.

 

As much as I would love to talk about the four stories I did enjoy from the Catwoman anniversary special (and I'll probably do it as a Patreon exclusive), I'll instead be focusing this post on the Tom King and Mikel Janín 'Helena' story. I will not be reviewing the story itself since my thoughts on Tom King's take on Batman and Catwoman is already pretty well known. But I will focus on King's interpretation of Helena Wayne's origin.

Patreon Exclusive | Stargirl S01E01: Pilot Review

Stargirl, one of 2020’s most anticipated television series, aired its pilot episode early this week, first on the DC Universe streaming service on Monday, then on the CW network on Tuesday, and it became available for online streaming in the US on Wednesday. And, of course, as I duly expected as both a Geoff Johns and Justice Society fan, the pilot episode opened with a bang! Literally! I couldn’t wait to talk about it as soon as I watched it, and in case it needs saying, spoilers ahead!

Robin 80th Anniversary: Helena Wayne's 5 Most Memorable Moments As Robin During The New 52

Robin's 80th Anniversary celebration may have come and gone as quickly as a tornado on a prairie, but that doesn't mean all conversation on DC's famous Robins have ceased. In fact, it's an ongoing conversation since each of these characters have strong fan followings, even characters like Stephanie Brown who was Robin for what felt like a few good seconds post-Crisis. Another famous name that gets brought up a lot in Robin discussions is Helena Wayne who had her origin reworked in 2012 so that she started out as Robin for the New 52 continuity.

Robin 80th Anniversary: Counting Down The Original Earth-2 Dick Grayson's Greatest Hits

The year 2020 has been a big anniversary year for some of DC's greatest superheroes. DC celebrated Wonder Woman's 80th anniversary in January, the Flash in February, Robin in March, and originally Catwoman was supposed to have hers celebrated in April. Alas, however, that's been put on hold due to the COVID19 pandemic that put us all in quarantine indefinitely, and as of today, no new DC comics will be out until the last week of April at the earliest.
