The DC Universe by John Byrne #[nn]

When Robotman returns to the abandoned Doom Patrol headquarters in Midway City, he’s ambushed by government agents led by Negative Woman. As the two clash, their memories unfold in parallel, weaving together the team’s fractured past—from the early days of the original members to the pivotal moments that forged their legacy.

In a world where Superman’s ancestor ruled as a tyrant in the 1700s, the legacy of power and oppression lingers. Two centuries later, a humble, non-powered Kal-El emerges, determined to challenge the past and forge a different future.

In "Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder," the Dynamic Duo go after the notorious Thick & Thin gang, only to find their investigation deepening when the criminals refuse to talk about a mysterious drug shipment. With Batman and Robin shadowing the brothers, a clever trap unfolds—one that puts the real criminal mastermind in plain sight.

In "Visitors Day," Julie Schwartz finds herself caught in a multiversal crisis when two aliens task her with writing the perfect ending for the latest Hawkman issue—because the cover idea alone has cracked the fabric of reality. With help from a winged gorilla, alien visitors Orvo and Dyrl, and the ever-watchful presence of Hawkman [Katar Hol] and Hawkgirl, Julie races to craft a story that can stitch the unraveling universe back together, all while the dream sequences of Carter Hall and the Hawkworld version of Hawkman flicker at the edges of her mind.
