Today, I think it’s time to look at one of the few villains
that are similar to Batman. This one is pretty obvious: Owlman. He’s Batman’s
opposite from Earth-3. Back in the 1960’s, Owlman first appeared along with the
Crime Syndicate of America back in Justice League of America #29. In modern
times, the character was made to actually be the older brother of Bruce Wayne,
Thomas Wayne Jr. He’s pretty much Batman only evil and sporting an owl
fascination. Now, there is another Owlman who’s actually a part of Scott
Snyder’s run on Batman, but I’m not talking about that one. I just wanted to
make that clear.
Today’s issue is Justice League #25 from 2013. This is
another tie-in to the event, Forever Evil. Back in September, I looked at the
tie-in that revolved around Ultraman. I know I’ll have to talk about that event
one day. Geoff Johns (DC’s Lord and Overseer) is the writer. Pencils are
actually handled by Doug Mahnke this time around. The inks are handled by a
multitude. Mahnke’s pencils usually get a lot of inkers for some reason. DC
probably wanted to get this out on time I guess.They are Christian Almany, Mark
Irwin, Keith Champange, and Doug Mahkne.
