Back in the 2000s , my dad was running aWorld of Warcraftguild and was in despairing pauperization of a healer . Lucky for him , he had a ten - year - old daughter lie around that he could easily grease one’s palms with mounts and pet to do his bidding in the MMORPG . Since I take a firm stand on playing an senior dwarf man , my first mount was a bear that I mentally name ‘ Old Man . ’ That being said , you may only imagine my excitement when I sawSlade - Fracking - Wilson depend on a monumental white bear into combat against Batmanin Yasmine Putri ’s cover fine art forDark Knights of Steel : Allwinter#4 .
This might be one of the best matter to happen to Deathstroke in decades , and with Screen Rant readers as my informant , this bear mount better make it into the narrative , or I will RIOT . Variant covers can be hit or miss when suggest at the tale — some are just eye - candy , while others tease epic developments . I ’m skip for the latter with Deathstroke ’s bear mount . If Slade ’s gray-headed companion does make an appearance , it will be interesting to see ifKristoff provides any insight into how Deathstroke domesticate such a massive bear .

At this point , is it any surprise that I ’m a fan of a great daddy - girl duette ? I ’ve always get laid Rose Wilson ; she ’s by far my favorite Wilson kid . Although the synopses have n’t mentioned her yet , Skylar Patridge ’s variant covering fire forDark Knights of Steel#3 all but guarantees that Rose will appear as Ravager , gross with a badass Viking twist . The cover song show Rose with her signature livid hair styled in long braids . She also cavort a facial tattoo — a solid black line from her lower sassing to her mentum — and her iconic orangeness and black bisected masquerade , now enhanced with Viking armour flair and moose antler .
It would be highly strange to tease such a well - known lineament and invest so much mean into her design if she were n’t going to make an appearance in the narration .

It might be canonical of me , but I ca n’t help but love a classicthrowdown between Batman and Deathstroke . Thanks to the abstract forDark Knights of Steel : Allwinter#3 and the principal cover by Tirso Cons , I lie with that ’s exactly what we ’ll get come September 18.What create this even more exciting is the potential for this battle to develop into an improbable alliance . I’m placing my bets that Slade and Bruce will initially clash due to a misunderstanding , but once it ’s cleared up , they ’ll hammer a envy partnership .
What ’s especially intriguing about Batman ’s part inAllwinteris that , so far , he ’s the only character from Tom Taylor ’s original series making an coming into court . While this could change as more mystery story stretch out , Bruce is the only familiar case confirm for the action at this peak . in person , I have no complaints — Batman was one of my favourite characters in the original series , and his moral force with Slade promises to be exceptionally entertaining .

Cover C Christian Ward Card Stock Variant forDark knights of Steel: Allwinter#2 (2024)
It ’s clear that I ’m excited about everything related to this serial publication , butI’m especially thrilled aboutAlec“Swamp Thing”Holland’srole , as it ’s the most intriguingly inscrutable . justly from the start , we know this interlingual rendition of Holland is unlike any we ’ve seen before — he ’s a small child rather than the traditional swamp creature . Although his identity has n’t been formally confirmed in the tale yet , it ’s extremely probable that the last panel ofDark Knights of Steel : Allwinter#1 , which features a little boy , introduce Alec .
This assumption is further supported by the synopsis forDark Knights of Steel : Allwinter#3 , which hints that Slade is journey across the wintertime wasteland with “ his untested yet powerful bursting charge , Alec Holland . ” sacrifice that the male child from upshot one is prominently featured in various variant book binding alongside Deathstroke , his identity seems clear . However , the role Alec will play in the narration — and what make him so powerful that he ’s the only thing in color in a world drain of it — remains unsealed . One thing is for certain : exciting developments are ahead forDeathstrokeas he lease on his unexampled role as guardian , and I ca n’t await to experience every consequence of it .
