Did Justice League #34 Just Spoil the Next Month-and-a-Half of DC Comics (Spoilers)

A month ago, Bleeding Cool pointed out that Batman #81 was to lose its Year Of The Villain branding. Which it has. Consider that Year Of The Villain branding was the excuse that DC Comics gave to pulp an issue of Superman and Supergirl (and then reprinted with different ethnicity-based colouring of certain characters), it then seems peculiar for Batman #81 to have one of the bigger tie-ins to Year of The Villain with a multi-page sequence by Tom King and a previously-uncredited Mitch Gerads featuring Harvey, last seen hog-tied and naked with a target painted on his stomach by the Batman Villain gallery, breaking into song as a certain symbol fills the sky.
