Stories

Year of the Villain Hell Arisen Part Two · 24 pages
Luthor battles the infected heroes who have been sent after him by The Batman Who Laughs. The Batman Who Laughs works on his plan which involves a powerful captive. Lex Luthor moves on to the next phase of his plan which involves infiltrating the Hall of Justice.

Publisher’s description

Apex predator Lex Luthor is on the hunt for the Batman Who Laughs. To catch his prey, he must follow a trail of broken heroes...leading him to Jim Gordon, one of the victims of the Batman Who Laughs’ deadly virus that turned the heroic police commissioner into the worst version of himself. The trail leads Lex to a lonely cell in the Hall of Justice-but it’s not the good guys who come to stop him. It’s more of the Batman Who Laughs’ dangerous operatives! And if they couldn’t resist the influence of the Dark Multiverse, then how can Lex?
