DC may have revealed the name of the mysterious hooded woman, but it appears they still have a few more mysteries up their sleeve. Early on in two of this week’s books – Hawk and Dove and Swamp Thing - we see the appearance of a strange alien language.

Taken alone, it seems like it could be a coincidence – two letterers working with the same “weird language” font. However, if you dig back a little deeper…

… it appears this is more than just a coincidence. DC seems to be hinting at something, but what could it be? Are they planting seeds for their next big event? Plotting the introduction of a new character or the re-introduction of someone we haven’t seen in the DCnU? Only time will reveal the true meaning behind this language. In the meantime, I’m going to have some fun seeing if I can spot it in any more titles.
Edit: We’ve solved it!
