WHY WON’T BATMAN SAVE THE WORLD?!
For centuries Ra’s al Ghul has wanted to save the Earth from the worst of humankind, and for centuries he has failed. Recently his greatest obstacle has been the Dark Knight Detective, Batman. Ra’s offered Batman a chance to be a part of his new world order, but Batman refused. For years their cold war has raged, but Ra’s will have no more. Ra’s will remove Batman from the equation and save the world, re-creating it in his image and bringing the peace and prosperity all the good-hearted souls of this Earth deserve. Don’t miss this epic tragedy from the all-star creative team of Tom Taylor (Nightwing, Superman: Son of Kal-El, DCeased) and Ivan Reis (Detective Comics, Blackest Night): the last of the One Bad Day specials, and one of the most epic to date.

In the early 1980s, as the Cold War stubbornly refuses to thaw, a new battle heats up…for the soul of the intelligence agency Checkmate. As the agency’s super-heroic public face, Jackson King—a.k.a. the armored Battalion, former leader of Stormwatch and the symbol of American might—has long suspected that Adeline Kane is up to dirty tricks overseas, engineering horrors that betray everything he believes about service to one’s country. But King doesn’t know that Kane has a clever new ally—an ambitious young woman named Amanda Waller. She has her own ideas about how metahumans can serve their country. And honor, dignity, and long lives don’t factor into them…
National security reporter Spencer Ackerman (the Daily Beast, Reign of Terror), comics and video game writer Evan Narcisse (Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Gotham Knights), and veteran artist Jesús Merino (Wonder Woman, The Joker Presents: A Puzzlebox) celebrate WildStorm’s legacy of espionage-flavored superhero morality plays, pitting Stormwatch against the deadliest people in the DCU—including Deathstroke himself!
Replies
I know I've mentioned on this site before that I've always had to swallow a lot of impossible things to accept that Superman and attendant figures could find their way back to Earth from anywhere in space. It asked me to believe that someone could look at a triple-axis starscape, recognize the stars as seen from Earth in reverse and in season and at any distance and then easily go home. Preposterous!
Superman: Lost seems to (finally) address this.
ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN: JON KENT: Speaking of swallowing impossible things, I saw a preview of a cover of an upcoming comic featuring Jon Kent and Conner Kent. (I think the Conner Kent Superboy may be getting a new series, too.) I know he's not supposed to age [is that still in (what laughingly passes for) "continuity"?], but Conner has a good two decades on Jon, now they're contemporaries. It's the same feeling I'd get seeing Kyle Rayner next to Dick Grayson or any of the other original Teen Titans.
UNSTOPPABLE DOOM PATROL: Have the "Big Two" run out of adjectives? I've been complaining for a long time about Marvel's new series titles that don't sound quite right to my ear (Non-Stop Spider-Man, All-Out Avengers, etc.); now it seems DC is up against the same dilemma. Than again, maybe DC has been suffering from this problem for a while, too (thinking of Cave Carson has a Cybernetic Eye. WTF!?).
"Immortal" has made the rounds, too (X-Men, Iron Fist, Weapons, Red Sonja, Hulk).
...and don't even get me started on the upcoming Immoral X-Men! (That is not a typo.)
Well, it has the benefit of being accurate. Except for Cyclops and a few others, the X-Men have been pretty amoral, if not immoral, for a while.
