DC New 52: Mysterious Hooded Woman
CharlieRock:
Who is this hooded lady? She appears in all the #1s. Three of us went through all the #1s while hanging out at the LCS, even the ones with different timelines like JL, Legion Lost, and All-Star Western. She is in all of them. In Teen Titans she is standing behind a tree towards the end over Red Robin's shoulder. In Catwoman she was standing there at the party the Russian smugglers were throwing. Etc. etc.
Who is she? :shrug:
P.S. Re-post from GAC 8)

Check the double-page spread near the end of Flashpoint #5 (pg 25 or so)- I think it's the same woman who is standing in the center of all of the various timelines.
My guess? She is either (a) the central figure in the first big cross-over event story of the post-New52 DCU, or (b) a built-in backdoor MacGuffin that DC can use to undo the New52 should they decide to later in a kind of "she did it, now she's gonna fix it" story. (Note, a and b are not necessarily mutually exclusive).

Could it be that there is actually something new in the "new" DC Universe?
John C:
As mentioned, she guides Barry Allen at the end of Flashpoint to "fix" the timeline...and this is what we got instead.
If I had to guess, given the Superman "Retroactive" issue ('70s? None of them were particularly memorable), it could be Harbinger, the Monitor's flunky who gets dragged back every so often to no useful effect.
Having compiled the History of the DC Universe (available now from retailers...if you live in 1987), it would make the same sort of sense (don't ask me WHAT sort, please) as bringing Superboy-Prime in as a major character for Infinite Crisis.

The Hooded Lady is mentioned at the end of some of the second issues
