WARNING: Contains Potential Spoilers for The Boy Wonder #3!The Bat-Family has finally recognized the technological brilliance of Wonder Woman’s invisible jet, leading to an epic new gadget for Robin that fans are sure to appreciate. With this nod to the iconic piece of Wonder Woman lore in the preview for the latest The Boy Wonder issue, it’s the perfect time to revisit the origins of the invisible jet and its recent impact on continuity.
With a release set for July 2, 2024, fans will soon be able to dive into the third installment of Juni Ba’s Black Label series, The Boy Wonder, featuring the much-anticipated team-up between Red Robin Tim Drake and Robin Damian Wayne.
Until then, fans can enjoy a six-page preview that not only delves straight into Tim and Damian’s dynamic but also introduces an exciting new Bat-Family gadget—invisible headphones. The narrative confirms that these new earpieces are based on “invisible-jet technology,” a clear nod to Wonder Woman’s iconic invisible jet.
Red Robin and Robin’s Invisible Headphones Are a Genius Evolution of Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet Technology
Ba’s The Boy Wonder #3 kicks off with Damian and Tim, both dressed in civilian attire, heading to a gala hosted by Oswald “The Penguin” Cobblepot. Damian is less than pleased about being dragged to the event as a civilian by his older brother but begrudgingly agrees since he plans to investigate the building due to its potential connection to his ongoing investigation concerning a demon abducting Gotham’s poor. During their car ride, fans are introduced to Wayne Enterprises’ invisible headphones, which are based on invisible-jet technology, allowing “one to communicate without being noticed.”
This gadget is perfect for the Bat-Family, especially when working on a case that requires them to remain in their civilian identities, as Tim and Damian currently are. While no one would think twice about Robin or Red Robin wearing a visible earbud, Tim Drake and Damian Wayne, the two youngest sons of billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne, wearing communication devices would undoubtedly raise suspicion. Hence, the invisible headphones are ideal when the boys need to communicate discreetly while portraying their civilian identities. It’s surprising that this is the first time such a gadget has appeared in a Bat-Family-centric narrative.
Wonder Woman’s Invisible Jet Sneaking Its Way Into a Bat-Family-Centric Series Is a Major Win For Diana Prince Fans
Considering Wonder Woman’s invisible jet is the most well-known invisible transport in the DC Universe, Ba’s reference to “invisible-jet technology” for the headphones is clearly a nod to Diana’s jet. It’s exciting to see Wonder Woman subtly referenced in a Bat-Family-centric story through this iconic piece of lore. The invisible jet has been around almost as long as the Amazon Princess herself, debuting in Sensation Comics #1 (January 1942). Notably, 2024 has been a big year for the invisible jet, playing a prominent role in Tom King’s Wonder Woman run and now being mentioned in Ba’s Robin-centric Black Label series.
Wonder Woman’s first appearance was in
All Star Comics
#8 (December 1941).
