Chapter Summaries

Bruce attended the villains’ meeting openly as Batman while Fiona executed Deathstroke under the new Earth laws for hiding weapons. The Joker urged Bruce to abandon his restraints and kill the gathered villains, claiming Bruce had become a figure much like himself.

• The Joker argued that Bruce and the villains were bound together by the United States’ laws and accused Bruce of helping them return to a country that would never give them closure.
• The Joker begged Bruce to kill him and the other villains, insisting that the new Earth had no place for him and that Bruce had become a shared Joker to gods and humanity.

The Joker tried to provoke Bruce into killing him by reenacting the tragedies he had inflicted on Robin and Barbara, but Bruce’s expanded perspective kept him from breaking. Bruce declared that the assembled villains would be held under guard until new laws were drafted, then sentenced under humanity’s law, while The Joker lamented that Bruce had changed and left him with no one who could make him laugh.

• Godzilla searched for the voice that had called to him, roared a challenge, and made Heisenberg laugh when its words were translated as “Come at me!”

Heisenberg defeated Godzilla with a beam of light, then ordered Serizawa’s Monarch Organization to manage the colossal beasts in the Hollow Earth. His attack awakened colossal beasts around the world, and Serizawa learned that all seventeen monitored sites had erupted into chaos.

• Godzilla challenged Heisenberg, who answered with a roar and provoked Godzilla into firing his Atomic Breath.

As all seventeen awakened Titans rampaged across the world, Heisenberg healed Godzilla and sent him through the Bifrost to Mara Island, while Diana and Serizawa organized a response. Heisenberg then reached Mothra’s cocoon in Yunnan and used his light to hasten her transformation, leaving her close to awakening.

Heisenberg and The Ancient One won a $160 million lottery jackpot and returned to Kathmandu, where The Ancient One reorganized the Ancient Cult’s supply work and assigned Kaecilius to guard the Great Library. Kaecilius mistakenly saw the assignment as a chance to study forbidden magic, while Heisenberg and The Ancient One planned to use his growing interest in darkness to lure Dormammu into a trap.
