New Robin Character Flatline Had A Cameo In Detective Comics #1034

Flatline is a new character being introduced to the DC Universe by Joshua Williamson and  Gleb Melnikov in their new Robin series starring Damian Wayne. James Tynion IV confirmed as much in his newsletter, promising an eventual Punchline Vs Flatline and saying "And we got the first glimpse of the new character, Flatline, who will be debuting in the first issue of the book."

But it turns out, Robin #1 is not the first appearance of Flatline in a DC comic book. Detective Comics #1034 out yesterday did plenty for Gotham, Mayor Nakano – and the Green Arrow – But in the back-up Robin strip, there is a glimpse of the other members of the Legion of Lazarus.
