Absolute Power #1 & Batman #150 Reveal Amanda Waller's Hand (Spoilers)

Absolute Power #1 and Batman #150 reveal Amanda Waller's hand, as she takes down everything and everyone they hold dear (Spoilers)

Tomorrow sees Absolute Power #1 and Batman #150 published by DC Comics (or since yesterday digitally, depending on your territory.) We have seen the world being recreated by Waller…

As Amanda Waller using the combined powers of Zur-En-Arrh and Brainiac Queen to run fake news about the superhero genocide the world over…

…and then use that fear to justify taking away the powers of those superheroes, courtesy of the Amazo robots…

…each being controlled by a Zur-En-Arrh Batman back-up personality from another dimension.

Even John Constantine, it seems has forgotten how to spell.

We meet one of those Amazo robots in Batman #150.

Using Victorioan phrases and diction and going with a rather redolent name. Paradise Lost.

Might this Amazo using the powers of Wonder Woman be controlled by the Zur-En-Arrh of Gotham By Gaslight, perhaps? But we learn more of her power sources across the books…

She has Zur-En-Arrh and all his multiversal versions of Bruce Wayne's back-up personalities in their own power-absorbing robot bodies.

Brainiac Queen and the powers of Sanctuary creating convincing realities and hackling the world.

Such as Cyborg in Titans Tower…

She has a Mother Box. sentient, miniaturized, portable supercomputers from the Fourth World, that can summon Boom Tubes, manipulate energy and more.

She has Green Arrow as a true believer, and access to the superhero network.

She has built a wall around the world.

Including time travel and the multiverse.

She also seems to have Jonathan Kent. Absolute Power #1 by Mark Waid and Dan Mora and Batman #150 are published digitally today/yesterday and physically tomorrow.
