Apex predator Lex Luthor is on the hunt for the Batman Who Laughs.

The trail leads Lex to a lonely cell in the Hall of Justice—but it’s not the good guys who come to stop him. It’s more of the Batman Who Laughs’ dangerous operatives!

Editor’s Note:

Shazam is part of Year of the Villain as one of the Batman Who Laugh’s Secret Six, but his core series has been perpetually delayed that it has not caught up to current goings on in DC.
