Villians United No. 1

I was jazzed to get a hold of Villains United because writer Gail Simone said Cat-Man is a central character.
I rushed out after work and snagged a copy.
Overall, I liked it.
I was of course pleased with Cat-Man’s role. (Though it is “Cat-Man” with a hyphen! Not “Catman.”)
I
was also glad to see that he’s continuing his connection with Green
Arrow
. Last we saw him, Thomas “Cat-Man” Blake was working undercover
for The Shade. He had attended Oliver Queen’s funeral. When Ollie got
better, Ollie hunted Cat down and the two “chatted.” (Shortly after
that, Cat-Man was apparently fed to Monsieur Mallah. I’m very
interested to see how that turned out.)
I really liked the art. I love crisp art like that.
I
wish all the villains that were presented were clearly named. I hate it
when they expect us to know everyone by their appearance. (Even worse,
we were expected to know people by just what their face!)
I’m
curious to see if Cat-Man ends up in a new costume. I’m also interested
to see if he gets his “magic” cape back. His “magic” cape is kind of a
crutch for him, and one of the reasons I like him so much.
I do have questions though:

  • I thought Parademons were a military force on Apokolips, not a individual character. Which is right?
  • Who’s this Ragdoll fellow?
  • Anyone
    have a clue on this “Static” person who was ordering around the “Secret
    Six?”
    I suppose its the person they called Mockingbird, but who is
    Mockingbird? (I suspect it’s Luthor, why else would he leave Cat-Man
    alone?)
  • Where’s the Joker? No villain team-up is complete without the Joker.
