Batman – I Am Gotham | Comics

Gotham City’s hero and greatest protector, Batman is joined by a pair of masked meta-humans to be the new guardians of the city!

On the rooftop of GCPD Headquarters, Batman meets Commissioner Jim Gordon regarding an air missile heist from Fort Marshall two weeks ago. Two of the three missiles were recovered hours ago from a Kobra Cult cell and the third one is still missing.

When they were discussing about it, a passenger plane was descending to Gotham City and it is shot down with a missile by an unknown assailant. Wasting no more time, Batman immediately rushes to the exploding plane that is headed straight to Gotham Square while Alfred updates him on the situation after Duke Thomas takes over for assistance.

Putting an alert on Justice League comm link, The Dark Knight reaches to the plane using everything he had at his disposal. Alfred Pennyworth informs shortly that the League members are either off-planet or already engaged, which means no help is coming.

He successfully drives the plane out of harm’s way but seems to face an inevitable death in doing so until is unexpectedly saved at the last moment. The plane safely lands on water and Batman sees two super-powered youth flying in front of him, calling themselves Gotham and Gotham Girl, who are here to save the city.

Batman – I Am Gotham | Comics

As the Caped Crusader was curious about their appearance out of nowhere and trying to figure out who they are, they pick a fight with Solomon Grundy next day. Gotham asks him to train them so that they can help people more effectively, which he decides to consider.

At the same time a man shows up in Gordon’s office to confess about his involvement in releasing Grundy earlier, then stabbing himself in throat and a few other suicide-bombing takes place throughout the city. Meanwhile, Dr. Hugo Strange and Psycho-Pirate were being drafted to Suicide Squad by director Amanda Waller.

While Gotham and Gotham Girl were busy saving the city, Bruce goes for a little background check on them as Agent Malone. He learns that during their childhood, the boy witnessed his parents getting mugged in an alley way of Gotham, when Batman came to save the day. His young sister heard of it later and it made them eager to become heroes.

In the meantime, the Gotham siblings were holding a bridge out that is collapsing from a suicide bombing. Their mentor quickly reached the spot to help them and instructs them to move on to the next objective as he goes investigating the reason behind the blasts.

The duo goes to take care of another incident only to be confronted by Strange and Pirate among a group of soldiers. The latter turned the twins crazy and unstable with his psychic power before making them do their own bidding of unleashing the unthinkable.

Batman's investigation leads him to Amanda Waller next, who recruited Strange and Pirate to control Task Force X but they eventually betrayed her and got away. Now, he has to take care of a very frightened Gotham Girl and face her out of control brother who can even take out all the members of the Justice League single handedly.

Batman – I Am Gotham

Comic-book writer Tom King (Grayson – Agents of Spyral, Grayson – We All Die at Dawn) and artist David Finch (Brightest Day, Forever Evil) takes up the new monthly ongoing Batman books in the beginning of DC Rebirth from DC Comics. The storyline collects the one-shot Batman – Rebirth issue and issue #01-06 from the ongoing run.

The arc introduced two brand-new superheroes in Gotham City who came to help and pretty quickly things escalated to the point where we get to see the Justice League consisting of Aquaman, Cyborg, Flash, Green Lantern, Superman and Wonder Woman going up against one of them in a brawl only to take a severe beating like never before.

Knights of Gotham

Narrator Tom King does the stunt of scaring the readers by playing with the idea that series protagonist is about to die at the very beginning and then toned down everything back to normal and gave him more work to do afterwards, rather than just dying.

The story also teases towards the upcoming crossover "Night of the Monster Men" at several points on multiple occasions, which is also a nod to a six-issue limited series "Batman and the Monster Men" from 2006, the era before Flashpoint crossover. The plot will be continued in the next storyline "I Am Suicide", followed by "I Am Bane".

Justice League – Darkseid War | Comics

For eons, Metron has been an observer of events of the universe, destruction and rebirth of worlds while sitting in his Mobius Chair. Though he is never to interfere, he did it in past to prevent a great destruction to all in existence when Apokolips and New Genesis went on waging war against each other and arranged a pact between Darkseid and Highfather. They are to exchange their sons Orion and Scott Free respectively to each other, which will at least stop Izaya from going in war against Uxas and his planet.

He was a witness of that time when an otherworldly being known as Anti-Monitor caused a Crisis on Infinite Earths, then living fear entity Parallax ushered a Zero Hour in time, Infinite Crisis rattled the Multiverse and Zoom created Flashpoint paradox afterwards. When the dusts are cleared out and a new era begins, Prime Earth was threatened by Apokolips War and with all those crisis events over existence put reality into peril. He seeks and finds out Anti-Monitor on the ruins of Earth 3, preparing to consume another world and the observer tells him to stop, because another crisis can destroy reality as we know it.

By destroying Earth 3, the latter made a rift in Multiverse and exposing it to a Convergence of timelines. Seeing his reluctance in ceasing from his advance towards Earth, Metron reminds the destroyer that his actions may lead to Darkseid's wrath but it seems that the Anti-God actually wants a war with Dark God of Apokolips. As he states, only the demise of Uxas can unlock the key to change him back to who he once were, which the observer cannot provide him and in this war, he has a secret ally against the lord of Apokolips.

Justice League – Darkseid War | Comics

Highfather's own son Scott Free grew up in the fiery pits to become Mister Miracle by surviving the worst and escaping his captivity. Darkseid has never been thwarted back before from any of the worlds he invaded until he stepped on Earth and fought the Justice League. Sensing he has gotten some new source of power and preparing to attack once again, Scott decides to confront him. They confronted each other in throne room but he was forced to evade via Boom-Tube and ended up finding the mother of Uxas' daughter.

Meanwhile, assassin Kanto and Lashina goes to Earth looking for a woman named Myrina Black and their opening of a Boom-Tube alerted Cyborg, who brought Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Power Ring, Shazam and Wonder Woman to the scene to find a woman lying dead in her apartment as Steve Trevor arranged to clear out the area for investigation. Victor dotted the lines to figure out that these assailants are after some Myrina Black and Hal points out that whoever they are, they can cloak from his power ring.

Using Barry Allen as a dimensional portal, a gray-skinned woman suddenly arrives and headed towards the Caped Crusader as he is the most dangerous among his peers. Incapacitating him first, she then takes down Cyborg and Shazam before being stopped by Diana. She reveals herself to be of Amazon blood and holds herself pretty well against Wonder Woman. Hal Jordan and Jessica Cruz quickly came to join the fight but she corrupts Hal's ring before using Jessica's one to bring the destroyer on Earth.

Superman was with Lex Luthor at LexCorp and as they are informed about the attack on their teammates, Lena Luthor shot her brother and left them both stranded on Apokolips using a Mother Box. Rest of the Justice League made a failed attempt to stop the woman named Grail and Anti-Monitor. Steppenwolf pledges to his master to allow him face the Kryptonian but he is ordered to ready their army to transport to Earth instead. What would happen when Anti-God and Dark God finally goes toe to toe against each other?

Exploring the aftermath of Injustice League and Forever Heroes storylines, while crossover events like Convergence and Forever Evil paves a new way for upcoming arcs, "Darkseid War" is a groundbreaking step stone for many of the future tales and a new status-quo of The New 52. Originally, the core plot of Darkseid War took place on issue #40-52 from the second monthly ongoing Justice League series from DC Comics and couple of other tie-in issues was added afterwards. Reference from "Justice League – Origin" was made and the story itself would influence "The Final Days of Superman" and beyond.

Twilight of the Gods!

Though writer Geoff Johns (Blackest Night, Brightest Day) and artist Jason Fabok (Detective Comics – Emperor Penguin, Detective Comics – The Wrath) was primarily responsible for creating this event from DC Comics, artists Kevin Maguire, Phil Jimenez, Dan Jurgens (Metamorpho – Year One, Superman/Doomsday – Hunter/Prey), Jerry Ordway, Scott Kolins (Legion of Superheroes, Superman/Batman) and veteran fan-favorite Jim Lee (Divine Right, Superman Unchained) also took part as guest-pencillers. By far, this one is one of the most expanded story arcs from post-Flashpoint era other than any major crossover events considering the number of issues involved.
