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

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!)]

Braved the weather (we're in between t-storms) and picked up my comics. Almost forgot BoP because I thought they were on my pull list and they were not!!!
Picked up:
BoP#70
Robin #128
Outsiders #14
Batgirl #53 (I was waiting to buy it 'til I'd caught up on Robin.)
Batman "Nevermore"
Comic shop guy says that War Games will be in 3 issues of all Bat titles except GC. (He said that it was only one non-War Games numbered GC -- but I could swear that I saw at least two WG related GCs on the DC website.)
