In the Turtles comics and films, Nightwatcher was a Batman/Daredevil-alike human vigilante, for decades. When mortally wounded, partly because of his age, he asked for Raphael to take on his costumed identity. Which he did, in the 2007 film TMNT and comic book spinoffs. But he is not the only one to take on the Nightwatcher role. And on Free Comic Book Day, it looks like someone new is stepping up to the role.
And a New York full of threatened and threatening mutants courtesy of last year's Mutagen bomb gives this new Nightwatcher a cause, and a people. to fight for.
Is Nightwatcher a similarly mutated person rather than another Turtle in disguise? Policing his own people and layng down the law as he sees it?
Or is it just Raphael again? And no, the Free Comic Book Day title out on Saturday, the 4th of May doesn't actually tell you. But, you may be able to pick up some hints.
