Is Jericho Playing Both Sides in Year Of The Villain? Or Did DC Make a Boo-Boo?

Published Thu, 29 Aug 2019 09:05:23 -0500

Yesterday saw the publication of Justice League #30, tied directly into Lex Luthor's plans for DC's Year Of The Villain. With everybody taking sides. Or did they? First we saw the massively extended Justice League…

While, in opposition, Luthor's line-up of transformed villains, his Legion Of Doom…

But hang on a minute? Who is that in Luthor's gang? In the background to the side of Lobo?

That's Jericho, son of Deathstroke, and recipient of Luthor's Dark Gifts.

But when we look in the Justice League line-up…

The non-Dark Gifts Jericho is there as well.

How come? Mind you that's not the only issue… being transformed into a Dark Dimension version of himself is playing havoc with his health. Because while, since the New 52 relaunch, Jim Gordon has been portrayed with red hair, even including during his turn to the dark side in The Batman Who Laughs…

Over in Batman/Superman #1 yesterday, he's clearly been under a lot of stress and his hair colour has reverted to white…

Of course, there were colour changes yesterday in Superman #14 as well…
