Fear of Unknown

As Rebirth continues to bridge between past and future, it does follow up a step from The New 52. When the 'Justice League – Origin' was released, the next storyline, 'The Villain's Journey' was mostly a follow-up that focuses on the aftermath of what happened previously. DC Comics has implemented the same maneuver with 'Outbreak', staging the whole thing as a result of 'Kindred Invasion'.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps – Sinestro's Law | Comics

Sinestro and his Yellow Lantern Corps took over in the absence of Green Lantern Corps but Hal Jordan is preparing to return.

Space Sector 0 is the center of our cosmos where resided the Green Lantern Corps on Planet Oa, which is now gone. Now it is replaced by the new home base for Sinestro Corps, Warworld. A war-torn Thaal Sinestro was wondering about what happened to his rival Corps when Lyssa Drak of his Corps unsuccessfully tries to cosset her lord.

Deep within the core of his base, Sinestro visits an imprisoned Parallax who is apparently fueling Warworld and restores his strength using the power of fear impersonate. He then commands his Corps members to spread across the galaxy to maintain order through fear, which his daughter Soranik Natu thinks is a huge mistake.

On the dead world of Sector 563, Hal Jordan of Sector 2814 keeps reminding himself who he is as he recalls his previous history with the Corps and how he took Krona's Gauntlet instead of his ring to save them from being blamed. Now he decides to do one more thing before he puts down the Gauntlet for good and then he forged a Power Ring for himself.

When he did that, it sends a tremor through the Spectrum that is felt by Agent Orange, Green Lantern Corps, last remaining Guardians, Indigo Tribe, Jessica Cruz and Star Sapphire. Even the great tyrant felt it from the core of Warworld. His original appearance is restored from the holographic form as he wore the ring made of his own willpower.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps – Sinestro's Law | Comics

With that, the greatest Green Lantern who ever existed has returned back to action and goes to patrol on Sector 563, where he bumps into a few of Sinestro Corps members as he was dealing with a group of local smugglers to get some information on the whereabouts of his missing friends while he sensed the re-emergence of their leader Thaal Sinestro.

Back at Warworld, Lyssa and Soranik gets into a beef regarding the latter's concern about her father's fragile health but she is surprised to see him invigorated in the yellow light of fear among his loyalists. He declares a war against all who stand opposed to them and most importantly, Green Lantern Corps to rule over the universe forever.

Beyond the uncharted space, the disappeared members of the Green Lantern Corps including Arisia, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Kilowog, Mogo and others suddenly reappears. Stewart reminiscent of their past events and when Kilowog asks him what would be their next move, he sent Guy for a mission to track their spot on the map but he got captured.

When Sinestro learned that his followers have encountered Hal Jordan, he instructs them to fall back and wait for assistance. Though some other group of his Corps managed to bring him a defeated Guy Gardner, he wanted Jordan instead since he has the strongest of will. His fear will be terrible in comparison with anyone to empower his Fear Engine.

Jordan ends up in planet Chall'enn, where he clashed with the Yellow Lanterns to save the locals from being taken to use as fuel for the Fear Engine of their totalitarian master. Despite getting cornered by overwhelming odds, he fights back but as other Corps members spreads fear; power levels of their rings increase to push him further.

Hal kept fighting tirelessly to save the innocent inhabitants of that planet from getting captured by the marauding Sinestro Corps but even he gets beaten down eventually after fighting all of his opponents simultaneously charging at him at 200% capacity.

Green Lanterns – Rage Planet | Comics

In their short career as Green Lanterns, Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz of Earth has seen an awful lot to the furthest corners of the galaxy. Though, they may not be as valiant as Hal Jordan, or insightful like John Stewart, not like the ever-angry Guy Gardner and not visionary like Kyle Rayner, Jessica and Simon are the best bet Earth has right now.

When an unknown spacecraft enters Earth's atmosphere, the ring alerted them both and they quickly rushed to the spot. What seemed like a simple assignment turns out to be a rogue Manhunter that starts giving them a hard time. Then Hal Jordan arrives declaring it was a test. Since they don't work along well, Jordan pits them both by merging their Power Battery into one to protect Earth by learning to work together.

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".
