The Shadow War is over. Talia al Ghul is paying for the sins of her father. This coming Tuesday sees the publication of Detective Comics #1061, Robin #15 and Deathstroke Inc #10. Deathstroke is basically Deathstroke: Year One, but Robin and Detective Comics are looking to the future. Spoilers of course. Damian Wayne wants to be a Robin without Batman or Talia al Ghul

Back in custody? Really? Because in Detective Comics, Talia al Ghul is out and about, seemingly without restraint.

While in Robin, we see why she might have that freedom available to her, despite being in "custody".

So while in Detective Comics, she is making power plays and getting superheroes – or villains – of every description onto her team, with a promise she will play a big role in Batman Vs Robin…

…in Robin we get to see the deal as it is made. Working for the Department of Extranormal Operations under Director Cameron Chase.

With the nickname Lazarus Spy. Might that be the name of an upcoming solo series starring Talia Ghul? Daughter Of The Demon? Talia: Mother Of Robin? Super Ghul And Gotham Girl?
