Fox News And The Fox Family In DC Comics' Future State (Spoilers)

In today's DC Comics' Future State: The Next Batman #4, we get a clue as to what it is that has traumatised Jace Fox, son of Lucius Fox and led him to becoming The Next Batman. Maybe. In his new down-to-Earth Batmobile, he sees someone in his way. And goes all flashback.

Is this a tease for a traumatic moment being set up in Batman: Second Son? Because while we still don't know what happened to Tamara Fox, comatised at the hands of a Batperson, something does happen to Jace's mother, Tanya.

You stab your mother with that mouth? And Jace Fox is still getting grief for that name change as well. Will it stick? Will we see where it come from? Is it simply to stop Batfans mixing up Tim Fox and Tim Drake?

The Fox family are the wealthiest in Gotham. But not everything bears their name. Take a certain Fox News. It seems to go by a different name in Gotham.

JAK-L News. Jackyl. I mean, that's close enough to Fox News, right? And also a fascist propaganda wing for those in charge. But don't take my word for it. Take Batman's.

The Next Batman that is. Of course, even the tamest news source can occasionally step out of line and call Arizona.

No, of course, this is all allegory and there is no mention of any actual Presidential candidate or anything.

While the Fox family are known for being behind the Magistrate, Cybers, Peacekeepers and drones, there are other contractors to consider. It was a big job.

Dilton Technologiues behind the Cybers, and Simon Saint behind the Magistrate, but Fox involved with them all. Though not even their drones can go the full distance…

Maybe Fox should hire Nightwing?

And even Trojan Solutions who are more active in Metropolis – and on Warworld – are wanting to make Metropolis more like Fox's Gotham. And they have found an excellent way of fitting more hours into the work day.

Nothing like having ambition….
