So! I've always coined the whole Holy Water thing is a big thing that does hurt them, a lot of holy figures can given the demonic nature - mirrors *do* affect them but in a peculiar way, as they don't really see *themselves* they see visages of what they'd look like as humans - for instance Lucy's reflection has her red hair being black and she has grey eyes - it's not so much as a thing that they cower away from it like it's an active deterrent, it's more of a growing concern for it to be used as a weapon against them, say like getting staked with a cross, seeing a cross in someone's hand, yeah that starts to concern them.

This image is what the blurb is about, they’re called the Silent Shadow, and are my OC that in the DC universe

It was another dismal night in the city of Blüdhaven. The rain pattered against the bright neon billboards that illuminated the air.

A shadow hid atop one of the many buildings, it’s cloak obscuring it from prying eyes as its white pupils slid across the city, looking for prey.

A scream echoed from a nearby alleyway and the dark figure seemed to melt towards the disturbance, its movements quick and fluid.

A mean thug had a knife pointed towards a woman, shouting demands at her. That’s all it took for the shadow to see before beginning its attack.

It dropped down from above, landing behind the assaulter making the man spin around in fury.

The woman ran away at the chance, not taking a single look back.

Now, the man was horrified at what had confronted him. The figure was cloaked, but he could she the sharp metal that armored it.

The creature took out a thick chain, letting the end hit the concrete with a loud thud. They drew closer to the man, the sound of the dragging links eerie in the dark alleyway.

His first instincts were to run and the man always listened to the whims of his mind. He bolted away from the shadowed being.

A crack boomed in the air along with a loud yelp of pain as it whipped its chain across his lower calf, knocking him down to crash into the pavement.

The figure moved closer to the rugged thug, and crouched down to his level. The man begged for mercy.

“Please don’t kill me. I wasn’t going to touch the girl, I promise!” He cried out, thinking his words would emit him from punishment.

“If you weren’t going to touch her before…” The shadow hummed, its voice coming out rasped and robotic. “…Well, you certainly won’t do anything to her now.”

His dominant hand was grasped in their claws, and they squeezed, the bones crunching with a squelch and a pop. He screamed at the agonizing pain.

“If I find you lurking around again, looking for trouble. You’ll wish I had just broken your bones.” The thing threatened, stepping away.

And this voyeur.

It has been really interesting to experience how Scott Snyder reinterprets established Batman characters for the Absolute Universe. All of the major characters had been slowly introduced into Absolute Batman, but Robin was missing. In Absolute Batman #19, we were shown not one Absolute Robin, but many. Absolute Batman #20 explores them further and even has them in action against Batman! Major…
