Some real dumb stuff in Batman today...'Designer' that fights Bruce turns out to be some reanimated zombie puppet controlled by The Joker, Deathstroke ambushes Bruce and stabs him in the leg. The actual Designer is with Selina and he gets her to transfer Bruce's fortune to Joker before Punchline shoots her...somewhere I guess, there's no indication of what part of the body was shot. Selina slips into unconsciousness saying "Baaaaatmaaaann"
About the best thing was Harley getting beat up.

ROFL, DC possibly taking another shot at S/WW? Apparently there was concern at Marvel that Empyre was not going to do too hot, but after the shutdown, orders for it improved. Many of the tie-ins have now been dropped for the event...and the reason there were so many separate min-series is that the creative teams of the big league titles wanted to keep their plate empty for the 2021 event heralding the arrival of Knull the symbiote god on Earth bleedingcool.com/comics/marvel-comics-gossip-empyre-knull-and-a-focus-on-the-core/

Aquaman
Well...that deals with Andi for now. She's recovered by Arthur and left in the care of Mother Shark, who contacts the comatose Mera and assures her that her daughter is safe. Mera awakens and learns that her wedding has been moved up to the next day. Arthur has only 24 hours to do something about it!
Batgirl
Oh dear Babs...now you've gone and done it. Despite constantly telling herself across multiple issues that dating Jason Bard is bad news, and refusing to be truthful to him right out the gate by telling him who you are, she goes and 'surrenders' to his advances. She returns home to her apartment, talking to Jason on the phone, unaware the Joker is already inside

Tom King had a new interview with Word Baloon last night where he tried to clear up the persistent question of continuity...says it's not in "day to day continuity" but functions like Killing Joke and Long Halloween, stories that impact the overall continuity and can be woven/absorbed later into it.
He also says the December release they're aiming for is being done for thematic reasons, as the book is Christmas themed...just like Batman Returns

Teen Titans this week continues the shake up with creative teams as the Damian ropes up his victims (sorry teammates) into a case involving the murder of Brother Blood. Although Batman in an uncharacteristic manner given recent events now suspects something's wrong with Damian.
Flash just see's Eobard building his "Legion of Zoom" with members of Flash villains from different times being recruited (Gorilla Grodd, a Pre-YotV(IE better) Captain Cold, Turtle, & the Evil Tornado Twins).

Green Lantern 80th Anniversary was great. While I've measurably soften on Morrison run it's just great seeing a lot of the more well known names of GL return for this special. Hell just having Bunn-Sinestro again was certainly a palette cleanser. The Alan Scott story by Tynion IV was pretty good. Just a retelling of his origin with more grandeur. Maybe there is hope for a JSA title under him or Snyder....just none of that stupid shit that they've been doing recently.

Immortal Hulk was good this week. Most of it is just a "need to know" on The Leader since he's been mostly benched for most of the 2010's (barring Weapon H) & how he now connects with The Green Door.
Thor was especially Metal with Thor & Galactus fighting The Black Winter with Thor forced in a gauntlet against his greatest threats while it's revealed that The Black Winter created Galactus.
Avengers: Empyre was alright. Just an issue of the team heading off world to discover the Cotati homeworld while seeing the return of Swordsman & learning the Kree/Skrull alliance.
