I love this theory. The Leader reveal had some hints in hindsight, but I never saw it coming until the very endFucking amazing issue. I have a theory about what is going on in this issue.
Leader is in Rick. Brian is in Scar. Note how pissed Scar is at Devil. Note when Bruce talks about killing his dad his eyes/eye area turns grey. Fixit knows Scar is Brian which is why he looks pissed at Scar. When Scar shows up originally, he's larger and looks like a dad walking his kid (Savage). Brian appears in the sky. Brian is referenced a couple of times in the issue.
Remember when Bruce returned from Heroes Reborn? Leader and Brian were tormenting him while "in Hell". Leader ascended during Jenkin's run and ran into TOBA and ended up serving him. He's the one who controls the Green Door wiping memories of gamma beings given his gamma power. He allows others to return from Hell on behalf of TOBA, hence Brian's return.
Eventually, Bruce is going to have a hell of a mental fight and may have to sacrifice an alter (Fixit is the prime candidate)
that's gonna be a big ass boxi may have splurged on an omnibi purchase y'all.

Just reread some of the issues and... oh lord the foreshadowing.I love this theory. The Leader reveal had some hints in hindsight, but I never saw it coming until the very end
i agree with the heart of what you're saying, canucked. that it's better to have these collections at all than to expect them to be "perfect." but i do love that classic newspaper coloring and texture a whole lot, too, so it does make me sad that it isn't being fully redone.I read old comics all the time, and while this may be blasphemous, I don't think the color is worth the effort either. Collections don't sell in the tens of thousands unless they are Spider-man and Batman. So if we get it, I'm just glad.
Also, color quality is about technology as much as it is artistry. I know they optimized and were super creative with old print comics as best they could but it's still a muddy mess. I wouldn't want faithful colors all the time. I'd rather have a full recolors.
But to contradict myself they are fucking up horror collections, like Tomb of Dracula because they are so bright. But it's either that or no collections.
At the very least I'm glad Harper's LGBTQ+ representation, but beyond that even the idea of Harper just feels like Jason + Tim + a sibling. And that's not really interesting to me. What makes Tim interesting to me is that he's one of the few Bat family members without a tragic past. He didn't come from the hood, he came from a wealthy family, with good parents. He's a Batman fanboy who became Robin to help Batman. He wants to be a detective and is both a forensics and tech prodigy (which since the New 52, they've only ever played up the tech part and never the detective part). Yes his mother was killed in a hostage situation and his dad was hurt, but the whole death of his father didn't come until years down the line and that, while I didn't read it, was dumb.Said it better than I could. Though I like the IDEA of Harper, but the execution has been meh.
I also think Bendis needs to quit hogging Tim and changing every little thing about him. More writers help flesh out characters. Also why I'm jazzed when any writer other than Lobdell gets a chance to play with Jason.
Duke: Okay honestly I don't remember. I haven't read We Are Robin, Snyder's Batman, and I don't remember nor did I finish The Signal.
Look all I know is he's the only Bat family member that's a meta and right now he's kind of being a baby backed bitch in Outsiders.That about sums up his backstory right here. First shows up in Zero Year I believe.

i like how much detail went into xavier's frown.

I don't really care that much about Duke. I feel like I'm an old man about the Bat family. Like Harper and Duke are two characters I just do not give a shit about.

Hill is right now. Duke got his powers altered. Now he can also emit darkness? He's Blackbeard now.I always forget Duke is a meta. No one does anything with it, ifaik.

Very Dredd.
I haven't read it (since it's a mini, I'm only getting it when it's finished), but Doom's big talks are usually him self-projecting all over the place that can also maybe apply to the one he's talking down to, so I assume this time it's something similarI'm sorry but Doom can go fuck himself with that talk.
And I'm surprised that people actually agree with him like
"fuck mutants, they got uppity now they deserve whatever is coming to them"
like the decades of horrible shit that happened to them suddenly never happened
it does say a lot, but it's also very doom, that he'd reject something that'd make all of his people's lives better over what's really a matter of prideI'm sorry but Doom can go fuck himself with that talk.
