Didn’t Grant Morrison draw all the original Batwoman stuff back in to continuity recently?

Ben was one of the best fleshed out characters in SS, and I enjoyed him before.
I remember the old “Whatever happened to…” stories in the back of “DC Comics Presents” The Richard Dragon story introduced me to both Richard Dragon (I like what was done with him in the original DC “Question” run.) & Bronze Tiger.

DC even published a letter I asked about that issue post crisis, relegating the Whatever Happened to story to pre Crisis days, not post.

Nice recap, but I think Ben’s killing Batwoman while under the League’s influence is too central a part of his back story to not get a mention.

Had he killer her, I’d put it in there. But he didn’t.

So “while with the League of Assassins, he was sent to kill the former Batwoman but didn’t, but someone else did – but now Kathy Kane was no longer the former Batwoman, she was just some lady Batman knew” seemed to be more confusing than interesting.

IIRC, he and Batman had a battle somewhere around Detective 485? Death of Batwoman arc, I think.

I’m glad someone hasn’t retconned his origin to say that he’s actually the THIRD-GREATEST martial arts tiger guy, forcing him to go up against Silver Tiger and then Gold Tiger.

Or, y’know, have him say that things are grrrrrrrrrrreat!

Amanda Waller, BTW, demands that Q is for Quasar. You don’t want to know what she’s told Deadshot to do to your pets.
