It’s now up to Supergirl and Martian Manhunter to drive the beast back and see that he never again returns to our earthly plane-even if they must die to do it! Plus: the return of Bloodwynd, the debut of the Doomhounds, and a clue to the next big Superman event!

But what happens when The Riddler kills someone in broad daylight for seemingly no reason? No game to play. No cipher to breakdown. Batman will reach his wit’s end trying to figure out the Riddler’s true motivation in this incredible thriller!
