This is the moment that Batman Beyond has traveled back in time to stop-the moment when his terrible future is born. Five years from now, the world of tomorrow is on the brink of creation. Brainiac has arrived from the stars, and intends to take New York City with him as a souvenir. It’s enough to bring Superman out of self-imposed exile, but not even the Man of Steel or his former teammates on the Justice League may be enough to stop the alien conqueror. Can Batman Beyond, Stormwatch, the Justice League Dark, Firestorm and others stop both Brainiac and Brother Eye? Or will the future die along with them? It all leads up to this. Jeff Lemire (JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA), Brian Azzarello (WONDER WOMAN), Dan Jurgens (THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN), Keith Giffen (JUSTICE LEAGUE 3001) and artists such as Patrick Zircher (THE FLASH) redefine the future of the DC Universe! Collects #31-48.

Five years from now, the future that Batman Beyond came back in time to stop is already in motion. Brother Eye has taken over Cadmus, and has taken the refugee heroes of Earth-2 as its mind-controlled slaves. Superman has walked away from humanity, and another hero wears the mantle in his place. And in deep space, Stormwatch are dead, victims of the true threat from beyond our universe...the being we know as Brainiac. But while heroes still live, there’s still hope. On Arrow Island, Green Arrow has faked his own death and used the cover to begin recruiting an Army to take the fight to Brother Eye. And even those who swore they’d never be heroes again—like Red Robin and Firestorm—find themselves drawn back into the battle. The fight for the future of the DC Universe is on! All-star writing team Brian Azzarello (WONDER WOMAN), Jeff Lemire (JUSTICE LEAGUE UNITED), Dan Jurgens (THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN) and Keith Giffen (JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000) are joined by fan-favorite artists including Georges Jeanty (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8), Aaron Lopresti (JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL), Cully Hamner (THE SHADE), Patrick Zircher (SUICIDE SQUAD) and Jesús Merino (SUPERMAN) to present THE NEW 52: FUTURES END VOLUME 2 — collects issues #18-30. The battle rages on!

FLASH BACK! One thousand years from now, the greatest minds of the future brought the greatest heroes of the past back from the dead. Reborn into a twisted era of tyranny, the Justice League overcame missing memories, warped personalities, and bizarre new powers to band together and battle the all-powerful dictators who ruled the galaxies like gods, known as the Five. They blew it. Now the Flash is dead (again). The Green Lantern has been reduced to a flicker of his former self. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are at each other’s throats. And the Five have revealed their secret weapon: One of the supergenius siblings called the Wonder Twins, who resurrected the Justice League from oblivion, has been the League’s enemy all along. But his twin sister Terri is alive and well. With the help of super-science, the Fastest Man Alive is about to be reborn…as the Fastest Woman. And if she isn’t quick enough to defeat the Five, the future’s greatest heroes may have to turn to the past’s goofiest ones faster than you can say “bwa-ha-ha”. It’s time-traveling, galaxy-hopping, gender-bending action as you like it! Writers Keith Giffen (THE NEW 52: FUTURES END) and J.M. Dematteis (JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK) re-team with artist Howard Porter (JLA) —and reunite with Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, the characters that helped make them superstars—in JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000: THE CAMELOT WAR (collectsting issues #8-13).hello
