Yeah. I'm not sure the level of Laird's involvement in the creation of the Battle Nexus... if it was pretty high, and the Battle Nexus truly is his baby I have a fairly minimal problem with it pending the story's conclusion (it's not my fault we've only gotten like 2 issues in 3 years). Similarly to why I only have my torch ready for Tristan's Miragizing of Hun... but haven't lit it yet.

As for Fast Forward, I actually wouldn't mind if the Dark Turtles showed up as a sort of darker mirror image of the turtles, they may actually work better then Slash at representing the dark side of each individual turtle.

"Dark Turtles" isn't exactly a Fast Forward-exclusive idea (or an exclusive idea at all... even things like Star Trek have evil, mirror universe-type characters of the leads) so I don't think that'd be a big deal. As long as it's just the
idea, and not like the whole shebang is noticeably uprooted and transplanted in Mirage only with peripheral changes... that's just vapid and displays a pretty flimsy deck of creative cards.

They could probably come from a parallel dimension, like the Earth-2 Crime Syndicate of Amerika.

Ah, the Grant Morrison special. A good one. "Earth-2" was actually just the Anti-Matter Universe in that, and actually there's a similar but less-cool "Crime Society of America" on Earth-3 now.
