We also learn that that there is something untoward with Deimos. He has Shakira, from Warlord fame, assisting him holding the DC Comics multiverse’s time travelers prisoners. They include villains like Per Degaton and Monarch, but also heroes as this plot-line will play out in this core weekly series as well as in the Convergence Booster Gold 2-shot with 2 Booster Golds. I can’t wait to see how this plays out in Convergence #4 and in the Booster Gold mini-mini-series.

Earth 2 Batman is attacked by another un-domed bottled city’s Batman Rogues Gallery. And, he makes the ultimate decision to sacrifice himself to spare the Earth 2 Dick Grayson. It looks like the Earth 2 Dick Grayson may be the new Batman we’ve seen in the teasers for the new post-Convergence series Earth 2: Society.

However, a multiverse’s Joker shoots and injures the Earth 2 Dick Grayson, but Telos intervenes and kills him, confronting Grayson in his pursuit of his Earth 2 Justice Society friends. This sets up Convergence #4 nicely.
