My wife suggested that the uncertain Fury was actually Black Canary, with the ball-gag to keep her powers under control.

I enjoyed Final Crisis # 3. I've generally had to read the FC issues twice to get a better handle of what's going on.

Legion of 3 Worlds soon !

Not entirely true. The Shiloh Norman Mr. Miracle is NOT the Scott Free Mister Miracle. They are two separate characters and Shiloh was around well before 7 Soldiers. Shiloh, like Sonny Sumo, is human and Scott is a New God. We haven't seen Scott yet, but there's nothing to indicate he's "in" Shiloh (though that may be an interesting twist).

Comics are a tad different.

The way that DC Comics (and Marvel, but we'll only discuss DC here) is structured involves the reader of one title into the DCU as a whole. Crossovers, Company Wide Events, Continuity... these are the tools that DC uses to immerse the reader. The DCU isn't about any one book, it's about a whole family of them.

So what you are proposing is that the reader drop the entire DCU because they don't like one book. Seems a bit silly, but I've seen it done.

Just what's needed: more screwing around with Hawkman's origin/background -- as though it wasn't muddled enough already.

I did it in 1993, back when a new Batman graphic novel started coming out nearly every week. I quit comics completely, in fact, until I started again reading Jonah Hex and Loveless a couple of years ago.

I have to agree. After the mess they made about integrating Truman's Hawkworld into the DCU and the subsequent attempts to fix that, this character's history was in a needlessly complex muddle for way too many years. Johns, for all his faults, did a fantastic job cleaning it all up. Now, once again, for no apparently good reason, they want this character harder to understand for new readers. How in the world could anyone think this is a good idea?

I think the one sitting on the left is supossed to be Batwoman. I'm at work so can't see it as I type this, but I thought that was Batwoman. I thought the tall one was Giganta though. Could be wrong. Elastigirl makes more sense.

I didn't buy it but I did page through it. He's supposed to be one of six who are arbirations(?). I'm guessing they mean Power Girl, Psycho Pirate and some others.

Yeah, the "Aberrant Six". Meaning, I suppose, five others with similarly screwed up histories. Power Girl and Huntress leap immediately to mind. Supergirl too, maybe.

Nope. Black Canary and Green Arrow are going to be part of the resistance in FC 4.

It's Batwoman (the new one introduced in "52") - check out the red bat emblem on the chest and the bat-like head-piece.

Or I could be horribly wrong but that's pretty much who it looks like to me. Guessing they probably should do something with her besides "Crime Bible" cameos after the big PR push on her.

I believe that she'll also be featured in James Robinson's upcoming Justice League book as half of that title's World's Finest alongside Supergirl. Though, yeah, DC hyped her up to the public and the media (though it was mostly focused on the 'OMG! She likes the girls!' aspect) during 52 and then let her fall into semi-obscurity since.

She is a part of Final Crisis Revelations.

Niether Black Canary or Batwoman have that much hair. And it isn't a bat symbol. She is wearing a leather corset, and collar. I's telling you, it's Starfire.

Another vote for Batwoman. She does have long hair. Where has her hair been short?
