DC Comics Universe and Detective Comics #998 Spoilers and Review follows.

Batman Meets The Real Villain On Road To Detective Comics #1000?!

The book opens with Doctor Strange and later Etrigan the Demon, but the most interesting part is the end of the book.

Batman visits Silas Stone, the father of Vic Stone Cyborg, presumably…

…because he was instrumental in helping a young Bruce Wayne become Batman; all of his mentors have been hunted in this arc.

However, all is not as it seems as…

…Batman is seemingly drugged…

…encountering a young version of himself as the villain?

The Pulse:

Amazing art, but convoluted story. 6 out of 10.
