Earth 2 #21 Spoilers: Earth 2’s Superman Vs. Batman War Rages On, CN’s Young Justice Member Leaps To Earth 2 & More (DC Comics New 52 In Review)

News, Spoilers

Earth 2 is an amazing read despite a swap of writers, but consistency on art. An evil and alive Earth 2 Superman continues to decimate the world for Darkseid while the brand new Earth 2 Batman, with some amazing super-powers himself, is marshalling Earth 2’s “Wonders” to stop the Apokoliptan threat.

The next Earth 2 arc focuses on the Batman’s secret weapon in this fight, a brand new African-American Kryptonian, in an arc called “The Kryptonian”. This follows directly after/from the free preview for this issue.

SPOILERS for Earth 2 #21 follows.

The book also has some interesting banter between the brand new Red Arrow and Batman that may make CW Arrow fans blush. All with the quiet new Kryptonian observing.

Next we have at Atlantean exchange where it appears that we may have the DC Comics New 52 debut of Cartoon Network’s Kaldur a.k.a. Aqualad debut! His name wasn’t confirmed, and his hair is longer and darker, but who else could that be? And the team plans what do about their secret weapon.

The book ends with three of the Earth 3 heroes overpowered by the mind control of Bedlam which leads to the Earth 2 Superman discovering that he is not alone. And he does not look happy.

Thanks for reading. All feedback welcome!
