DC Comics And The War Of Competing Futures – Titans #17 And Detective Comics #968 (SPOILERS)

In recent months we have had the children of the Justice League visit their forefathers to sort them out, Flash visiting his far futures, Batwoman dealing with a Batman of the future, a Nightwing Nazi of the future in The New Order, countless visions of what is to come, and a member of the Legion Of Superheroes come back to our time and get locked away in Arkham Asylum.

Today that means Titans #27 by Dan Abnett, Minkyu Jung, Mick Gray and Blond being visited by a millennia-old version of Donna Troy from the far future, telling them all what they get up to.

And it's all Batwoman's fault. How very Bat-Garden of Eden.

While Batman Lost #1 has a version of the future that seems perfectly prepared for Brian Bendis.

But if it's the future, whichever one you choose, that depresses, maybe you'll find solace in the past? Courtesy of today's Suicide Squad #29 by Rob Williams and Wilfredo Torres we take a trip to the Silver Age for the earliest iteration of the Suicide Squad.
