Bird

A shadowy figure who slipped into DC's Gotham underworld at the dawn of the Modern Age, Bird made their debut in the landmark Catwoman #1 of 1993, courtesy of Jo Duffy and Jim Balent. Sharing those gritty Gotham pages with heavy hitters like Bane and Bruce Wayne, Bird moves in genuinely dangerous company. The character's footprint across titles like Catwoman and Batman '66 over more than two decades speaks to a quietly persistent presence in the Batman corner of the DC universe — a rare figure who endures in the background of some of comics' most iconic stories.
