- It's a "point one" issue so that means it's the perfect jumping on point, right? Guess again. Jonathan Hickman creates his own rules for this issue and it will catch you off guard.

- It's a good thing Red Hood and friends were in Gotham last issue so they could stick around for the big Batman crossover event. Seeing Jason take part is pretty fascinating.

Dr. Franz was a pharmacist and scientist, and was the inventor of Vitamin 2X, which provided Dan Garret his super-human abilities.
Origin
Dr. Franz was known to the community simply as the local pharmacist, but to York City police officer Dan Garret, he was an essential ally in the fight against evil. When officer Garret received a gun shot wound in the line of duty, his life was saved by this scientist. Dr. Franz had invented the secret and highly experimental Vitamin 2X, which provided Dan, as the Blue Beetle, with super-strength, heightened senses, faster speed, invulnerability and increased intelligence. Dan would return to Dr. Franz's office, where he kept his Blue Beetle costume, each time he needed to super-charge.Dr. Franz also served as an expert in forensics, using his knowledge to aid in Dan's investigations. According to the 1940s Blue Beetle radio broadcasts, Dr. Franz was the creator of the bulletproof Blue Beetle chain-mail costume as well.
