Zero Hour: Crisis in Time #[nn]

In the distant future, an unseen force strikes at the Time Trapper, setting off a chain reaction that unravels time itself. Back in the present, a vibrant Batgirl appears—confused, unrecognizing Robin—and the Linear Men race to prevent the universe from collapsing from the end backward. As Batman and Superman rally the heroes, chaos unfolds: Hawkman fractures into countless versions of himself, Waverider arrives with Wally West’s empty Flash suit, and Extant stands triumphant at Vanishing Point, having overtaken the last of the Linear Men.

In "Zero Hour [Part 2]," the Justice Society of America pushes deep into Vanishing Point, where Hawkman and Hawkgirl are drawn to a terrifying convergence of every Hawkman across time. As the rest of the heroes face unraveling realities and cascading time anomalies, the battle at Vanishing Point turns deadly—The Atom, Hourman, and Dr. Mid-Nite fall, Wildcat and Sandman are aged beyond recognition, and the bond between Kent Nelson and the Dr. Fate mantle fractures. When Waverider finally confronts Extant, the truth of their shared face sends shockwaves through the timeline.

In "Zero Hour [Part 3]," the remnants of the Justice Society of America make their final stand, passing on their legacy as the active heroes confront the Team Titans—revealed to be sent from the future by Extant. At Vanishing Point, Extant consumes Waverider, but as chaos unfolds, a mysterious figure appears to destroy Alan Scott’s ring, leaving its fate—and the next move—uncertain.

In "Zero Hour [Part 4]," as Parallax—revealed at last as Hal Jordan—wields godlike power to erase all of history and reshape reality to his will, the remaining heroes face an impossible choice: stand and fight, or accept the end of everything they’ve known. With Jay Garrick’s desperate call to the Spectre echoing across time, the final reckoning begins—where the fate of existence hangs not on strength, but on the weight of a single, final decision.

In "Zero Hour [Part 5]," the remnants of a shattered timeline regroup after escaping Vanishing Point, only to face Hal Jordan’s relentless assault. As Parallax’s influence grows, the surviving heroes—including Superman, Green Lantern [Kyle Rayner], and Batgirl [Barbara Gordon]—rally to confront Damage, hoping he can reset the universe. When The Spectre arrives, the tide turns, and in a moment of sacrifice, Green Arrow takes aim—changing everything.
