The Easter egg inNightwing#87is the most denotative in - laughable quotation so far to the controversial rumors regarding Simone ’s ursine position . Two minuscule placard , daub on the side of a Tolay aside building in Blüdhaven , promote something prognosticate " the G. Simone bloodfeud show . " The notice also sport a large picture of what appear to be an angry dark-brown bear , under the newspaper headline , " I’M DEFINITELY   NOT A BEAR ! " , seemingly referencingSimone ’s Twitter profile , which put forward " NOT EVEN A BEAR AT ALL YOU guy . " While the art is byNightwingartist Bruno Redondo , it is unmanageable to trust that Tom Taylor was not responsible for this .

TheNightwingnod follow on the heels of another jest , in which Tom Taylorgave Superman a pet bear mention Gail . This occurred as a upshot of a subplot inSuperman : Son of Kal - El 2001 Annual # 1,where Jonathan Kent deliver a pregnant polar bear and moved her penny-pinching to the Fortress of Solitude . He mentioned the incident to a hologram of his father , who fit with him that Gail was " a fine name for a bear . "

It hold mentioning that all of this is a silly joke between two friends and that fans should take the shot betweenGail SimoneandTom Taylorin the heart in which they are intended -   of course , that does n’t intend   lover of their work should n’t keep an eye out for similar jabs in future , includingin the pages ofNightwing .
