I have just now become aware that a few people are floating this theory. I know the smart move is to just act all mysterious and tell people to keep reading.

But no, she is not Stephie. They are two blonde girls with bad things in their background, other…

Guys, respectfully…it’s a color scheme. The characters look nothing alike side by side.

Truthfully, much as I love Steph, I’m not a fan of the Spoiler costume.

Knightfall was designed by Brett Booth to thematically link with another bat-verse character ENTIRELY. And I think it’s actually pretty obvious who.

It definitely isn’t Steph, whose outfit is softer and less intricate as Spoiler.

I got a very Azrael feel from her.

Bingo.

Huh.  I’m not able to follow any DC books at the moment, so all I’ve learned about this kerfuffle is through Gail Simone’s tumblr action, but I’m of the same mind as TeamBearTrap.  The moment I even heard the name ‘Knightfall’, I immediately thought of Azrael and wondered what all the confusion was about.  Seeing the concept sketch a few posts later only solidified it.

… I’m unsure if this bit of information should make me feel old or not. Yeesh, this takes me back to high school… hell, this takes me back to middle school.

I think that is a big part of it, I imagine a lot of these nice folks may not have been through the entire Knightfall story. But there’s a reason why she has that name, and why she looks the way she does.

;)

Anyway, good night, everyone, thanks for staying civil, sorry if we disagree on some stuff, but I think it will be a positive thing in the end. I’ll try to make some fixes before she appears next.

NIGHT!
