Yesterday saw DC Comics published a couple of Beast World one-shot tie-ins, Beast World Tour: Metropolis and Beast World: Waller Rising.
Beast World Tour: Metropolis looked at how Dreamer had a bit of a power upgrade to become a clairovoyant, first small scale but then on the big scale, foreseeing disaster in the city.
And it seems to be something that Amanda Waller was rather interested in. With more to come. While she takes centre stage in Waller Rising, dealing with a rogue Doctor Hate, as part of her plan to kill off all superheroes and villains, by bringing in her own errant nephew Deadeye to deal with him.
Doctor Hate is planning to corrupt another dimensional plane called The Kingdom…
… and using the events of Beast World, the Beast Boy spores, and a variety of superheroes and villains' powers, to destroy it and weaken their home dimension in the process.
He just seems to choose, without comment, the powers of black superheroes and villains to do so. Maybe this is something to do with his own identity, aybe not.
There seems to be come connection with him, The Kingdom and the people who chooses.
Which means that when those targeted fight back against Doctor Hate, on behalf of both their home dimension and The Kingdom…
And so they fight, even though they know that Aanda Waller is involved somehow, and that everything they do only helps her.
And so they hatch a plan amongst themselves.
And since there is no Justice League any more…
… might they be stepping in to vill the void?
That's Val-Zod, the Superman Of Earth-Two, of course. Previously trapped in the Phantom Zone, now not so much. So while Amanda Waller continues her game of chess…
…could the rest be be planning a Justice League of their own?
