Amanda Waller Establishes Herself As DC's Biggest Bad (Spoilers)

Amanda Waller is making it with the Big Bads in Beast World #5, Beast World Tour: Star City #1, Green Arrow #8 and Detective Comics #1081.

Tomorrow sees the publication of Beast World #5, as well as Beast World Tour: Star City #1, Green Arrow #8 and even Detective Comics #1081, with plenty of Big Bads to go around. At the beginning of the month, Bleeding Cool told you that Amanda Waller was going to permanently set herself up as the Big Bad of the DC Universe, And nothing says Big Bad like the Ozymandias-like attempt to kill a million people "for the greater good". Except, unlike Veidt, she doesn't actually hide what she is doing. She had been handed Presidential power as part of The Bureau Of Sovereignty (and yes, that does seem to tie in with The Sovereign over in Wonder Woman) to deal with the Beast World, and in tomorrow's Beast World, #4 has taken it.

And who are these people that Amanda Waller is going to kill? Well, tomorrow's Beast World Tour: Star City #1 adds gthe Justice Society Of America to that million-strong number.

Black Canary transforming into… okay, we could have seen this one coming.

While The Resurrection Twins are setting themselves up as a pair of mini-Big Bads. So Medium-Sized Bads at least, with Graft and Dr Pharm as the Lex Luther Revenge Squad in Superman…

…as well as pointing out Man-Bat's role in Gotham over in tomorrow's Detective Comics #1081. Confirming that it is indeed a thing, even if it's (bizarrely) not a Beast World thing.

As Green Arrow takes a peek at what the Reserrection Twins are up to with the Beast World subjects, and weigh up which is more evil, that or Amanda Waller's plan…

Over in his own book, he is also dealing with a lot of Amanda Waller business of his own.

So as the Titans in Beast World #5 come up with a plan to save a million people, it may be at the price of becoming Ozymandiases like Amanda Waller themselves.

And Nightwing gets the chance to go up close and personal with Amanda Waller.

Amanda Waller's plan plays out, and whichever way it goes, she still wins. This is not her first rodeo, and Green Arrow has also learned the les public side of her plans.

And Amanda Waller does the Big Bad frowny face to Nightwing.

Amanda Waller is going to bring about world peace, no matter how many millions of men, women, kids or humans-turned-into-animals that it takes. No wonder Peacemaker likes her so much.
