Superhero Sunday: Batman #10

DC Comics released Batman #10 last week. Here is the official summary:

"ONE DARK NIGHT CAN’T KEEP THE BATMAN DOWN! The GCPD’s Operation Peregine struck a deep blow to the heart of the Bat-Family. But while Savage and his TUCOs celebrate their victory, Batman is about to set the record straight. He knows how to take a punch. He knows how to get back up. And he’s about to show Vandal Savage, the Minotaur, and anyone else who threatens Gotham City exactly what they’re messing with. Superstars Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez continue their triumphant run with the best character in comics!"

DC Comics released Black Canary: Best of the Best in November 2024. The following ad was in that issue and promised Lady Shiva vs. Black Canary.

Lady Shiva does start fighting Black Canary in the first issue. What surprised me the most was that the original Black Canary also appears.

Issue two continues the fight between Lady Shiva and Black Canary with flashbacks of the latter being trained by her mother. There are also flashbacks of a young Dinah when her mother was active as Black Canary. We also get to see her dad, Larry Lance, who is a cop.

Issue three opens with Ted Grant aka Wildcat being interviewed ringside. He has also been in Black Canary's fight with Lady Shiva. Batman pops up in a flashback and becomes Dinah's sparring partner. Green Arrow and Vandal Savage appears in another flashback. In the present day, Ted Grant attacks Lady Shiva in the ring when Black Canary goes down.
