We're switching creative teams again this issue. Which on this title is normal whenever we start a new story-arc. This time it's Alan Burnett on the scripting and Dustin Nguyen on the pencils. It seems on this story, Alan is making a point of melding a lot of Batman and Superman concepts together. We start out with Killer Croc stealing something for Lex Luthor. We don't know what, yet, or why. All Batman can find out from security tapes is that, when zooming in on it, it appears to be Kryptonian. Pete shows up this story, so I imagine he's going to play some kind of part in it. But we don't know what that is yet. Anyways, Croc takes the device he's stolen to this demon-like creature in Gotham. He goes by Schrocken. Never heard of him before. But at the conclusion of their exchange, this Schrocken scares Croc so much that he goes swimming off in this blind scared frenzy. But for some reason Gotham is only the drop-off point. It seems that the real target is Metropolis. On the last few pages of this issue, Clark feels the tectonic plates under his city shifting. He thinks they're just in for a world class earthquake. But when he looks closer, he finds that a Kryptonian city seems to be building itself right on top of the current one. The next issue blurb reads, "Kryptonite destroys Metropolis". Also in the picture, we see Croc again . . . and the Scarecrow. I don't quite understand how Batman's rogues fit in to all of this. So we're off on another amazing journey, with our 2 favorite heroes leading the way.
