GMo asked about Arkham Asylum 2 on Kevin Smith's show. Can't remember what details were previously announced, but it's with Chris Burnham, starring Damian in the future. He thinks it'll be out in 2019 for the 30th anniversary and he's looking forward to ruining the memory of the original.

As someone who didn't like the original I am happy for him to ruin the memory of the original.

Renee has popped up here and there but she's just a regular cop, it's not really implied that she's ever been anything else.

The Vic Sage Question had a weird supernatural origin or something right when the new 52 started but I think it was widely hated and mostly forgotten at this point but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

The N52 Question wasn't Vic Sage at all, he was some evil guy. Apparently he was like super-Hitler or something because he was so evil that Shazam (the wizard) and some council of other elderly wizard types caught him and cursed him so all of his horrible deeds would be scrubbed from history (because he was so proud of them), he'd forget his name, and lose his face (since again, he took great pride in how evil he was/how people feared him). He turned into the Question and spoke only in questions because Johnsian Literalism I guess and basically didn't really do anything that I can remember.

Vic Sage showed up in one of the various Suicide Squad reboots/renames/renumberings as some government stooge trying to wrest control of Belle Reve prison away from Amanda Waller. He failed and I think Waller killed him.

Renee Montaya was a garbage Question. She works better as a beat cop. Hopefully Geoff resolves whatever is going on with the current new 52 Question (Rorscach?) so we can get back to the adventures of my main man Vic Sage.

Her plotline in 52 was good. But yeah they probably couldn't figure out what would work with her to really differentiate her from Vic.

Wasn't the NEW52 Trinity like Pandora, the Phantom Stranger (aka the Wandering Jew) and Question (aka Cain)? That's what everyone hated right?

I have a question about Mr Miracle.

In N52 The Pact was made when he was a kid, but in Kirby's original story he was only a baby and grew up in the orphanage as any other child in Granny's "care". When did he learn that the Highfather was his dad and the nature of The Pact?

Was question cain? I remember speculation that he was supposed to be Lucifer or even Alexander the Great. They also kind of made him look like Rorscach from Watchmen but it wouldn't make sense if it was the actual watchmen character because why the hell would DCs cosmic cncil give a poo poo about a guy who exposed a rich dudes conspiracy.

I would like if Brian Michael Bendis took over Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle. That's his loving MO and, from everything I've heard, it hasn't been good for a while. If he can give it the Spider-Man treatment and get old Jaime Reyes back into the groove, that be great.

My bad. Looked through wikis and it looks like Questions identity was never addressed.

Lucifer sounds like a good candidate, but that would be two pulls from Judeo-Christian mythology, and I think Vandal Savage is already Cain (or he was identified as such during Final Crisis tie-ins, iirc).

His "MO" if you could call it that is creating well-received POC legacy characters, then running them into the ground with his bullshit. He'd only have the chance to do the latter with Jaime :v:

It'd make sense. He'd get to have a toe in each universe, and having those two high numbered, similarly titled books allows him to have like his own little mini imprint for them to point at. The guy who defined Marvel for the the 21st century, doing DC's two biggest characters would make a lot of buzz.

Between that, and the Metal spin off books, they might just out Marvel Marvel.
