With their lives now in peril, Bruce must shield them while confronting the Magistrate and Peacekeeper-01 in a final, desperate clash.

In "Mask Alert!", Jason Todd and Rose Wilson serve the Magistrate, hunting down masked heroes in a world where vigilantes are outlawed—but while Rose embraces the mission, Jason wrestles with the cost of their actions. The story dives into the moral gray zones of justice, where loyalty clashes with conscience.

In "Future State: Batman Superman Chapter Two: Trust," Superman is taken by the False Face Society and Professor Pyg, who intend to weaponize his DNA through dangerous genetic experiments. Batman races against time to stop the scheme, testing the limits of his resolve and the fragile trust between him and the Man of Steel.

In Future State Gotham, Tim Drake leads a desperate resistance against the Magistrate, rallying allies Stephanie and Darcy to stop a dangerous new weapon in their hands.
