As has been previously revealed, Amanda Waller has been tasked with killing every superhuman on the planet. All she had to do was to be asked by The Light. As we previously revealed the new Big Bad of the DCU in 2023 the council of members from the Young Justice cartoon making their comic book debut.

We previously noted in the Batman May 2024 solicits that Amanda Waller looked like she is making a deal with the Zur-En-Arrh, as she features on the cover of Batman #147 and the solicits read "can Batman fight back before Zur makes a true devil's bargain?". And , in the solicits for Titans #11, also in DC Comics' May 2024 solicits and solicitations, it reads "after a literal deal with the devil, Waller turns things up a notch!"

In the meantime, stay tuned to our ongoing coverage of ComicsPRO 2024 with this handy tag.
