It is “El Gaucho”, not “El Guacho”. A “Gaucho” is a historical figure in Argentina and Uruguay, thats why the argentinian Batman ally is named that way.
Hope it helps!
I love this website!
its a stupid spelling mistake sorry
Hey Collin, I just noticed Shadow of the Bat #29 (part of Knight’s End) includes a flashback to “the night after the bat came” where Bruce swings from a rooftop for the first time. I think he couldn’t have had the costume ready one day after the bat came, but it’s worth noting.
Good catch, thanks!
Hello, where it would be “Batman: The Long Halloween Special 1 (2021)?
Batman: The Long Halloween Special #1 is a non-canon coda to the “Long Halloween” arc, meant as a standalone continuation of the original Long Halloween and Dark Victory, occurring after Dark Victory but technically set outside the bounds of any particular continuity. Essentially, Batman: The Long Halloween Special #1 creates a Geoff Loeb/Tim Sale-verse in the same way that Dark Knight Returns and All-Star Batman and Robin spawned a separate Miller-verse back in the day. (As an item published in 2021, a full decade after the close of the Modern Age, The Long Halloween Special #1 is not on my Modern Age timeline.)
ok. thank you very much
