Hey Daniel. Yeah, I totally thought that too as soon as Ghul’s people proposed it. I don’t think there’s any linkage – both publishers probably just pulled it out of some older story somewhere else. And in fact, I think it’s just the right comics environment for that kind of development. For a long time, we’ve been having villains pretending to be heroes (Thunderbolts, Suicide Squad and Dark Reign) and heroes pretending to be villains (X-Factor and Secret Six, or farther back Vigilante and Punisher). There’s just so much mixing that I think that these sorts of things are just going to become natural. Watch for Darkseid to lead the JLA and Thanos to lead the Avengers! Remember you heard it here first!

Does anybody else find the “leading the league of assassins” plot thread to be similar to Daredevil’s “leading the hand” direction? I know Red Robin is only supposed to lead them on one mission and Daredevil has angst that Tim could only dream about but the stories have a similarity to them. Not that it’s a bad thing. Both stories have promise and I’ll keep up with both titles. Plus, ninjas are cool.

The Zen comment? Yeah. There was also a brilliant burn by Grayson in BM&R #5 as he smashed the Red Hood into the floor: “Backstory. Not interested.”
