Stories

Year of the Villain Hell Arisen Part Three · 24 pages
Luthor is trapped at the Hall of Justice by an infected Commissioner Gordon and the latest heroes to be infected by the Batman Who Laughs, but Luthor calls on the Joker to help him escape. Luthor confers with the Joker to develop a plan to defeat the Batman Who Laughs, who has captured Nix Uotan. Lex returns to the Hall of Justice to confront the infected heroes, but he brings along unexpected allies.

Publisher’s description

Apex Lex Luthor’s first run-in with the Infected didn’t go as planned, and the Batman Who Laughs’ influence is continuing to spread. Now Lex must find out who in the world can think like the Batman Who Laughs-and there are only two folks who come to mind. The first is Batman, who probably has his own ideas for Lex; the other is The Joker, who also likely has his own ideas, but who just maybe wants to see this twisted doppelgänger sent back to the Dark Multiverse he came from. It’s a gamble Lex has to take, because the Infected are gearing up for round two!
