Justice League #42: Batman Makes Comic Book History

So...I've been way too busy, my apologies. I read this at least 2 weekends ago. However that weekend I was kicking it with the homie. Had to trade back comics that were a year overdo. I believe I spent at least $60 on a variety of good comics, from almost a complete set of single issues of Batman: The Long Halloween, and other cool finds like Sarah Palin and a story about Oracle, Calculator, and the Anti-Life Equation. I spent hours gaming...and FYI Mortal Kombat X is AMAZING, along with Arkham Knight! Lastly, I saw a crappy movie and a bad movie, both of which will be reviewed in another post. Thanks Nathan, for a fun, memorable weekend...but I digress.

I'll be honest nothing really eventful happened in this issue, except for the fact that (SPOILER) Batman is now a god.

Yup. I'm serious and I'll say it again: Batman is a god.

It's not one of those stupid what-if stories. This is real. It's in the beginning of the Darkseid War, and Batman has arguably now taken the perhaps pivotal lead, as the majority of the Justice League has been taken out (come to think of it, is Flash DEAD???). The real question is how did Batman do it?..

Simple, really, you should be sitting down before you read this...cause Batman did. Yup. All Batman had to do was sit on a chair.

But not just any chair, but the chair of another god. Metron's legendary Mobius chair, to be exact. For those unfamiliar, its the giant floating space chair that hold all knowledge of the universe, and allows you to BoomTube across time and space.

But what are the implications of god-power? Well first thing Batman does, is find out the identities of who killed his parents and who is the Joker. Also, the next issue is entitled "Bat-God". What other secrets will he learn? Will he enlist help or have the new-found power/authority to do so? Should we fear the Bat-God or does he have something good up his sleeve?

Here's my predictions. Batman will go power-hungry, and do some epic things, but ultimately lose his power stupidly, probably to an angry Metron. Then later on, the Justice League will be losing horribly until we realize that Batman was waiting for an opportune time to reveal something he's learned through the Mobius Chair for his time as God. I am assuming this will be something rooted on the planet Apokolips as there has to be a reason that both Luthor and Superman have been there for so long.

Whatever happens, I'm excited to read Darkseid War, and you should be too...Hail Darkseid!
