Welcome to the 921st installment of Comic Book Legends Revealed, a column where we examine three comic book myths, rumors and legends and confirm or debunk them. In the third legend of this installment, we take a look at the surprising origins of the short-lived Batman character, Talon. In 2011, DC relaunched its entire line of comic books as “The New 52,” with brand-new number ones of all of its titles, including a few famous ones that had never been renumbered in their entire history (like Detective Comics, Action Comics and Batman and, to a lesser extent, Superman, which never dropped its original numbering, but DID change its name to Adventures of Superman for about 18 years at one point). Batman was relaunched by writer Scott Snyder and artists Greg Capullo and Jonathan Glapion, and the opening story arc introduced The Court of Owls, a mysterious organization that helped manipulate the history of Gotham City from the shadows.There were a few particularly notable Talons, including William Cobb, who was Dick Grayson’s great-grandfather, and Lincoln March, who claimed that he was Batman’s long-lost brother, Thomas Wayne Jr.. One young Talon, Calvin Rose, left the group before gaining the life-extending abilities of the others, and starred in his own solo series, as a HEROIC Talon.
