Beast World Gossip: Part Two– Amanda Waller's Plan (Spoilers)

This week sees the first issue of Titans: Beast World #1. You may have already read some Bleeding Cool gossip about that. But what follows?

This week sees the first issue of Titans: Beast World #1. You may have already read some Bleeding Cool gossip about that. But what will follow? Well, this is what the intro to all the Beast World tie-ins will read: "The world has gone wild! After assuming the form of a Star Conqueror to save the Earth, Beast Boy lost control and has unleashed his power everywhere. Now heroes and villains alike must beware the spores of this Titan, as they fight to keep their humanity or risk being transformed into animals themselves!"

So, yet, Beast Boy, who becomes Star Conqueror Garro to defeat the Necrostar, ends up infecting the world with his own spores, and it's all down to Amanda Waller. But why? Most speedsters want to be lizards, it seems… but what if they could also be hornets?

Black Adam may have avoided possession by the Necrostar but is less lucky with Garro. And a Black Adam Lion could destroy Khandaq

Central City sees super speedster villain Godspeed as a murder hornet creature, multiplying himself like a swarm, paralysing its prey at superspeed and then collecting their bodies in a nest.

Power Girl is a Phoenix in Metropolis. And Nightwing has to cage a Wolf Batman.

Maxine Baker, Animal Man's daughter, may not be able to control humans-turned-into-animals – but she can summon the morphic field to create animals that may control them.  Fadeaway Man, however, is a massive mouse. That tracks.

But what do these animal humans want to do? What is Amanda Waller's role? And is Peacemaker really okay with killing every man, woman, child – and animal – to achieve peace?

Because, by causing disasters to occur, animal hybrids can attract superheroes to save the day – then infect them. Causing more disasters.

But all the way through this… it is better than if the Starr Destroyer had reached Earth. There is still hope… and a belief that the Titans will reverse everything. Bur this was always Amanda Waller's plan.

During Knight Terrors, people learned to see superheroes as monsters in their nightmares. Now, they are being taught to fear them as monsters in the waking world, too…
