DC Comics delivers another great Bat-Family graphic novel with Nightwing Volume 2: Night of the Owls. The hardcover collection contains issues 0 and 8 through 12 of the monthly title. It consists of three different story arcs that continue to show the grown-up Boy Wonder can hold his own inside and outside Gotham City.
"Bloodlines" and "The Gray Son" pit Nightwing against a powerful agent of the Court of Owls. His name is William Cobb and he is Dick Grayson's great-grandfather, trained by Haly's Circus to be a Talon since childhood. Can Nightwing foil Cobb's assassination attempt on Gotham City's mayor?
"The Tomorrow People," "Tomorrow Can't Wait," and "Inside Out" throw Nightwing in the ring with an organization calling themselves the Republic of Tomorrow led by a masked figure named Paragon. The group is intent on cleansing Gotham City of its "false" heroes and killing Nightwing for the deaths of two of their members.

Havana -- At 10 o'clock on a Saturday night, the Mariana Grajales park in downtown Havana pulses with a thumping beat. Young men in drooping trousers and women in miniskirts dance, raise their hands in the air and grind pelvis to pelvis amid whooping, clapping and coarse jokes.
The risque dance style known as "perreo," which translates loosely as "dogging," is associated with reggaeton, an up-tempo mix of reggae, hip-hop and Latin rhythms that was popularized in Puerto Rico and has become a mainstay on Cuban TV and radio.
Now, the music finds itself squarely in the sights of critics who lament the genre's notoriously suggestive lyrics, steamy videos and sometimes misogynistic stereotyping.
Cuban authorities recently announced restrictions reportedly declaring state-run recording studios and broadcasts off-limits to songs with questionable lyrics. They also prohibit such music in performance spaces subject to government control.
The rules would theoretically apply to all genres,...
