And I'd say that Batman's dickery is functional(level 4). He wanted to attend to be civil, but suspected foul play, bringing it directly to the attention of the reader. Like a true Dick.

By the way, I like Supes' face expression when Wonder Woman says "It'll weaken them".

Dinah is not some stupid bimbo who will go chasing after a piece of jewlery in a war zone. Dinah is not some helpless maiden who needs to be saved from Deathstroke twice in half a year. Hell, she and her friends sent him running like a startled chipmunk in "Birds of Prey". Dinah never slept with Hawkman. I don't know where the hell Winick got that from. And as has been pointed out before, here and elsewhere, Dinah is one of the greatest martial artists in the world. Top Five material. The leaders of the League of Assassins have likened her to Lady Shiva. Even ignoring the sheer physical impossibility of getting an arrow through someone's neck with one hand or the fact that Dinah's Canary Cry would allow her to easily take down Ollie in that situation with relatively little violence, Dinah's first martial arts discipline was judo. The one that is all about throwing people around and is popular with single women primarily because it teaches them HOW TO DEAL WITH A MAN TRYING TO GET ON TOP OF THEM? Winick is a hack, plain and simple. I take comfort in the fact that every book DC has tried to reboot with a new #1 in the last year in an effort to boost sales has changed writers within a year. Maybe when Green Arrow/Black Canary fails to pick up any of the audience from Birds of Prey (and I wonder why it would fail to do that...) DC will finally wake up, listen to the solid majority of its' fans and stop Winick from ever writing Green Arrow of Black Canary ever again.

The man with the Checkmate symbol seems to be Eddie Fyers (an old friend of Connor, but I think Ollie as well) and the woman between Vixen and Alan is Zatanna, judging from the dress shirt and undone bow tie.

I'd like to be more positive here, but with Bart's death and Joey-Q's obsession with Spidey's marriage it's hard to. I've no doubt that great stories can come of this, but it still gets to me even if Ollie is alive. Think about it. If it is a clone, when was the switch made? Maybe during the wedding? Maybe when he came back from the island? Not cool. Not cool at all. While the issue is good, the whole ending leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

In the page of reaction shots, who's the blonde woman in the first row? And the Checkmate guy?

I thought the "snap" sound effect gave that one away, but I can understand not knowing him. The art made it hard to recognize most people unless they had some facial feature or skin colour that stood out. The guy that couldnt believe they invited him was Snapper Carr.
