Talon

DC Universe lost year

After the events of Infinite Crisis the DC Universe jumped one entire year of continuity. One of the teams that suffered more changes because of Infinite Crisis was the Teen Titans. Having had the death of Superboy (Connor Kent), the leaving of Speedy, Wonder Girl, Bart Allen and Robin, as well as having Cyborg in a coma, the team was in poor shape.

Beast Boy and Raven tried to keep the team together, using a membership drive to both have new members and keep members of Lex Luthor's "everyman project" close. During this missing year dozens of young heroes joined the ranks of the Teen Titans just to leave it soon after that.

Talon was one of the many that joined the Teen Titans during this missing year, along with former Teen Titan, Duela Dent. However both of them would end leaving the team like everyone else.

Origin revealed

At the start of Countdown to Final Crisis Duela Dent was murdered at the hands of one of the 52 Monitors because she was considered an anomaly and found by Jason Todd. Jason Todd along with another Monitor and Donna Troy would start a travel to find Ray Palmer (The Atom) because he was the only person that could prevent the "Great disaster". During their search for Ray Palmer the team would be joined by Ryan Choy (The current Atom) and Kyle Rayner.

After Ryan Choy was brought back to their Earth, the Challengers from Beyond went to Earth-3 in search of Ray Palmer. It was here that they were confronted by the Crime Syndicate of Amerika and met the Jokester, who was a heroic version of the Joker.

During a one-shot based on the search of Ray Palmer the Jokester origin's was explained. It also revealed that Duela Dent was actually the daughter of the Jokester and that Talon was the sidekick of Owlman. The two of them dated, but when their "families" didn't accept their romance both of them escaped to Earth-1.

Owlman and Talon are the "Batman and Robin" versions of Earth-3

They terrorized Gotham city and had various encounters with The Jokester (Heroic Joker from Earth-3). However Talon fell in love with Duela Dent, the Jokester's daughter

After revealing their secret love,both of them were disowned by their families.

Duela and Talon went to New Earth, where they both joined the Teen Titans during the lost year after the Infinite Crisis.
