Just ahead of DC Comics releasing its December 2022 solicits and solicitations, we get the news that Batman Vs Robin, the series that has seen the return of Alfred Pennyworth and Tim Hunter, and teeing up a major magical threat to the DC Universe has erupted in what might be changing the whole DC Universe. And it is a little Krakoan.

It turns out that Lazarus Island, where the League Of Lazarus fight to the death, only to be revived, has a volcano. And as part of Batman Vs Robin #4, that volcano will go off, creating a Lazarus Earth. A planet where everyone comes back from the dead, again and again and again?

We knew that magic had gone wrong in Dark Crisis, we expected a Magical Crisis to spin out of Batman Vs Robin, could this be the big one?
