Thanks, good to know. Although the face on the left armour looks more silly than scary to me.

Oh, I agree. The helmets need some change or redesign; Karen-Nightwing's looks like a silly Power Ranger helmet, while Kara-Flamebird's looks as goofy as a mook villain in said Power Ranger show. But the armors/costumes themselves I really like.

Detestable: adjective; deserving intense dislike. In this case, Noriel.

I don't think I misspoke, no, unless you're referring to something else or making a joke that flew over my head.
 
DC had a storyline going into Flamebird a bit.

Flamebird is the Kryptonian goddess of destruction.

But not destruction as in entropy but rather destruction as a catalyst for growth and change- It's her job to burn the old shit so new, maybe better, shit can take its place.

The Maker, the Kryptonian god of creation, adored her. Not romantically or anything, the Maker is even the one who set up Nightwing and Flamebird.

One day the Maker made his magnum opus, his most beautiful, his most perfect creation, a monument to how much he loves the Flamebird.

He proudly shows it to the Flamebird. Her response was basically "Oh, Maker, it's beautiful. You should be so proud, it's magnificent. BURNBURNBURNBURN!"

"NOOOOOOO! What are you doing?"

"I'm burning it so you can make new, better things in the future."

"No, please, anything but that, it's my most perfect creation, my monument to my love for you!"

"Don't be a silly billy, you'll make even better creations in the future and then I'll burn those too! It'll be AWESOME!" <Winsome smile>

And that is when the Maker went insane and eventually showed up as a Superman villain.

I'm not sure if Flamebird ever got why the Maker got so upset. To be fair, her burning his stuff so he can make new stuff had always been the entire premise of their relationship and their duties in the Kryptonian pantheon.
