In "The Dark Age, Part 1," a haunting new chapter unfolds in the Earth 2 universe as Thomas Wayne—secretly alive after his original death—finally reveals himself to his son Bruce, only to be rejected. Years later, after Bruce’s passing, Thomas Wayne assumes the mantle of Batman to honor his legacy, stepping into the shadows with a father’s grief and a hero’s resolve. Written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Robson Rocha, with inks by Scott Hanna, colors by Pete Pantazis, and letters by Dezi Sienty, this pivotal issue features a striking cover by Doug Mahnke.
In "The Dark Age, Part 2," Flash makes a reckless move to divert Superman’s relentless path, but his efforts barely slow the tide. Meanwhile, Batman breaks open a prison to free a key ally—James Olsen—whose sharp mind may yet turn the tide in a world unraveling.
In "The Dark Age, Part 3," Superman’s Apokolips-led forces lay waste to Washington DC, turning the capital into a battleground of fire and despair. Elsewhere, Batman and his team uncover a hidden Kryptonian child, sheltered for years by the mysterious Terry Sloan—whose secrets may hold the key to resistance.
In "Origin" from Earth 2 #4, Thomas Wayne—alive after the night he was shot—reconnects with his son Bruce years later, only to be rejected. After Bruce’s death, Thomas Wayne assumes the Batman mantle to honor his son’s legacy.
