We know Darkseid is at the heart of the Absolute Universe. His death in the DC All-In Special is what causes the Absolute Universe to happen, and it will be infused by his presence- or absence. And this is all to spin out of the ending of Absolute Power. But where will this begin? The answer is tomorrow's Batman #152. That continues the story of Batman and Catwoman, transported to Czarnia by Boom Tube, fighting Amanda Waller's superpowered army, in search of a Mother Box. And it seems to be a special moment…

… the first time Bruce Wayne has been offplanet with Selina Kyle.

So trust her luck that the very first time she goes further than Earth's orbit…

… she hits the mother lode.

Go big or go home, I guess. Batman #152 and Absolute Power #3 will be published tomorrow.
