It includes 'The Price,' a two-part story where Batman and the Flash investigate a murder connected to the event, alongside other tales that explore the emotional and psychological toll on various heroes. The volume features a range of DC characters dealing with grief, secrets, and the consequences of seeking help for trauma.
In "Too Many Speedsters," Gotham Girl’s desperate bid to become a true hero by embracing the Venom compound spirals out of control, forcing Batman and Flash to confront not just her unraveling mind, but their own burdens—Batman haunted by past failures, Flash tormented by the ghosts of Wally and other lost heroes. As the battle ends, tensions rise between Barry and Iris, and Batman turns to Superman in search of answers, hinting at a deeper conspiracy beneath the chaos. Written by Joshua Williamson and illustrated by Rafa Sandoval with inks by Jordi Tarragona, colors by Tomeu Morey, and letters by Steve Wands, this story captures the emotional weight of heroism and the cost of power, all framed by a cover by Neal Adams, Rafa Sandoval, and Guillem March.
In the wake of Wally’s death, Barry ventures into the Speed Force, only to confront Godspeed—unexpected and dangerous. When Godspeed attacks Wallace, Avery, and Meena at Iron Heights, a mysterious new speedster named Impulse arrives, leaving even Godspeed stunned. As Barry prepares to tell Iris the heartbreaking truth, the echoes of the past and the speed of the future collide.
In "The Price Part 1 of 4: The Price of Justice," Batman and the Flash, still reeling from the tragedy at Sanctuary and haunted by the unresolved deaths of their allies, push against the Justice League to stop a wave of rogue Amazo prototypes. As they race to Central City, the two heroes must confront a new threat targeting the Flash Museum—where the past and the cost of heroism collide.
In "The Price of Innocence," Flash and Batman follow a trail of chaos from the Flash Museum to a secluded island, where Gotham Girl has transformed strangers into twisted echoes of her brother Gotham using a volatile Venom-derived compound. As Barry uncovers a troubling link between Gotham Girl and the Sanctuary, the line between protector and perpetrator begins to blur.
In "The Price Part 3 of 4: The Price of Vengeance," Gotham Girl returns with a vengeance, leading a devastating assault on Central City alongside her resurrected brother, Gotham. As Barry Allen races to stop her, the line between hero and villain blurs in the wake of a past that refuses to stay buried.
In "The Price Part 4 of 4: The Price of Loyalty," Gotham Girl’s desperate bid to become a true hero by embracing the Venom compound spirals into chaos, forcing Batman and Flash to confront her—each driven by their own burdens. Batman grapples with past failures, while Flash battles guilt over Wally’s death, both determined to save her even as the line between heroism and destruction blurs. As the fallout echoes through their lives, Iris questions Barry’s choices, and Batman turns to Superman to uncover a deeper conspiracy threatening the very ideals they fight for.
In "This Is Not Normal Part 1," Ollie grapples with the weight of Roy's passing when an urgent alert pulls him and Dinah into a crisis: Count Vertigo has broken out of prison and now wields a terrifyingly enhanced version of his mind-altering abilities.
In "This Is Not Normal Pt. 2," Ollie and Dinah must confront Count Vertigo’s escalating threat to Seattle, unaware that the only one who can stop him is already gone—Roy Harper, whose absence haunts their every move. The story unfolds with tense urgency as the city teeters on the edge of chaos, and the past refuses to stay buried.
In "Zero," Green Arrow finds himself hunted by the government for a mysterious box capable of neutralizing the Justice League, with Black Canary reluctantly drawn into the hunt. As Ollie goes on the run, the line between duty and loyalty blurs in a high-stakes chase that tests the bonds between old allies.
