As Batwoman is about to expose Superman's killing spree to the world, an old ally returns to the Regime to help. Later, Batman reveals a crucial bit of information to Luthor.
Call it setup or a bridge or whatever you like, but I call it pretty good and pretty heartbreaking. Batman was so close to ending Superman's reign in a non-violent way that I could almost taste it, but the carpet was pulled from under his feet. It's all because of magic, but the issue ends with Batman showing that he has at least one trick left up his sleeve. Read Full Review
Injustice brings this phase of the arc to a close and with Raven back in town things have an even more dangerous tone since the book has been light on magic since the end of year four. I do like that Batman is getting desperate at this point because it feels like he should have been that way some time ago and we could be getting some fun stuff soon as he deals with that. I like the regime material as well but really want there to start being some actual consequences or choices made with what's going on as opposed to kind of just moping about it like Barry is doing. Buccellato continues to handle the script well enough and this installment from Tom Derenick doesn't have the problems I had with the art in the last one, but it does still feel kind of loose and not fully defined in some ways.

Good, but waiting for progress on a resolution now.
