[edit] Origin

I've read and JLA: Syndicate Rules. None of these mention Owlman's origin as it relates to Joe Chill, or Bruce and Martha Wayne's demise, even thought it's referenced sporadically throughout. Which comic has that information? Donmega60645 17:26, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

In JLA: Earth 2, Commissioner Wayne makes it clear that Owlman is doing what he's doing because he blames his father for the death of his mother and Bruce.--75.178.92.119 (talk) 22:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Fictional" supervillain?

As opposed to a real one? I'm going to tweak that lead sentence. --Boradis 02:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A Friendly Question

Okay, I understand my info was deleted because it wasn't the 'right' Owlman. I'm cool, but I just don't understand. Who is what is where now please? Considering Olwman appeared because of Mxyxpltk, it could be any of the versions. Again, I'm not trying to argue, just trying to figure things out.

The simplest way to tell is the costume - the pre-Crisis Owlman had a brown owl head as his cowl, and his costume was the blue and gray pattern of the Silver Age Batman (as opposed to the current black and gray), vs. the sleek, metallic (i.e., not dorky) outfit introduced in JLA: Earth 2 for the post-Crisis re-introduction of the character Starmiter 04:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Owlman.gif

Image:Owlman.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
