Re-reading IC, I'm curious if they are going to address the issue of which villians DIDN'T get mind-wiped. Specifically, Ollie mentions that Dr. Light was worse than anything he'd seen at Arkham Asylum. That naturally leads to the question - why not mind-wipe the Joker? How many people would be alive or at least healthier (mentally or physically)? Was it because Bats would know something was up?

Also, a who's who in the DC-verse question vis-a-vis IC: Who's performing the autopsy? That's not Bruce, is it?

I know the answer to this!

It's Dr. Mid Nite. But I can't tell you anything about him.

I know the answer to this!

Thank you! If he'd been in costume I would have recognized him.

It actually identifies him as Dr. Mid-Nite in the text. Of course the name means nothing to me, so it didn't help.

The name means nothing to me either.

I would concur that if the Joker suddenly became toothless that Bats would be suspicious.

So, Dr. Mid-Nite is a falconer?

Morning Edition has a piece on ComicCon this morning -- it was at 7:50-ish, which means it should repeat at 9:50-ish.

Hmm, I could have sworn it just said "Dr." at one point, w/out the Mid-Nite.

Oh well.

I would concur that if the Joker suddenly became toothless that Bats would be suspicious.

Mmm hmm. I hope they deal with Bats (if not the whole Gotham contingent) finding out about the conspiracy, because I can't see how there wouldn't be big time fallout from that. Things could have been different for Babs and Jason, just for starters.

Not a falconer, per se, but he has Hooty, the Owl.

No really. At least in the Golden Age.

And believe it or not, Owls are much harder to train than falcons...

Dr. Mid-Nite is a member of the JSA. His real name is Pieter Cross, and he is following in the footsteps of the original "Golden Age" Dr. Mid-Nite, Charles McNidder (under whom Pieter had trained to be a surgeon). He can only see in a narrow spectrum of light, so he develped goggles to enhance his vision, especially in the dark. He did go on a few dates with Black Canary when she was a member of the JSA, but got dumped when Ollie came back from the grave.

[ETA - there's a really good overview of the JSA going on at Comics 101 that mentions Hooty the Owl (the "official mascot" of the JSA!)]
