Let's do the space-time warp again!

I really appreciate the workmanship that he not only has a tiny hatch for his straw, but also a second one to show people his high-explosive helmet padding. This means that at the design stage someone must have said 'Ok hold up, no one is just going to believe that we packed the helmet with explosives, we had better include a little sliding door so we can show it off'.

I wonder if he keeps several straws, or if he's forced to go and rinse the one out so he doesn't get stale coffee in his smoothies.

Going by the costumes I think this is probably a flashback scene.

E. Not that that makes it make sense that she looks older here but Babs age has been very flexible since the beginning of the new 52 and nobody was sure what was canon or how long she had been paralyzed or whatever. It's completely dependent on the artist at this point.

Yeah, the current arc is a Batgirl/Nightwing team-up with flashbacks to a previous case that Batgirl and Robin worked on back in the day.

Straws are cheap, I'd keep a whole packet in my pocket if I were him.

All this tells me is if a member of GI Joe was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice they could get rid of Cobra Commander really, really easily. Just push a few wrong buttons on his helmet lock, wherever that is.

He's sitting in a chair in a room with at least two of the gi Joe guys I think they could probably just shoot him if they were only trying to kill him

Once you're on your third or so "Cobra Commander" you learn to anticipate these things.

That's Dr Venom, the Cobra mad scientist before Mindbender. He's an rear end in a top hat.



Interesting fact about him is that he was a comics exclusive character (Destro was the Cobra mad scientist before Mindbender in the cartoon) who only got a toy in 2010 for the GI Joe Collector's Club. The heads used for that figure are surplus Liu Kangs from the 1994 Mortal Kombat toyline. Judge for yourself:



Also, the random Cobra trooper might be Scar-Face. He was a semi-notable character early on in the comic.

I got an idea, let's do a Booster Gold series but instead of being a glory seeker trying to become famous, he's a cynical genius who helps the police solve crimes in a case-of-the-week format.

Also Skeets is the criminal mastermind from Booster's mysterious past who he has never quite been able to catch.

No, if it's the CW Booster will be just right, but the effects budget will make his powers/ Skeets look awful.
