Maybe I'm misreading something . . . but . . . by my count . . . Katana and the Martian Manhunter are the only 2 that have made it on to Batman's new squad so far. Did I miss something? This issue, Thunder and Jonn go up against Grayvn. Whoever out there, that has been killing the New Gods, and some Apokolyptan people as well, killed one of the female furies in front of him, while he was floating through space . . mindless. He had a battle with Kyle and he gave him an emerald lobotomy. Anyways, he decided to head towards earth and confront his nemesis there. Even though he's mindless, he still had a plan. He wants to build a Zeta beam transporter, and power it by absorbing the residual radiation on earth. Then when his attacker comes, he want to beam him right in to Darksied's throne room. Not a bad plan actually. But, apparently he used the last of his brain cells devising it, because he doesn't have enough left to build the machine. But Thunder decides to go along with him. She has Jonn attempt to put his mind back together . . . a bit. And then her plan is to trick him in to using it on himself and that way he's off Earth and they don't have to worry about him any more. Also a very good plan. And it works. But when he gets to the throne room, the killer is already there and takes him out. And because Thunder's plan spared his life, Batman decides she's not ruthless enough for his team. She's out. And she's pissed. Fantastic story by Tony Bedard with some amazing art by Koi Turnbull. But now I'm stymied. Who exactly is going to be on Batman's team. Well . . . we only have a few weeks to find out.
