DK III #6


Image result for DK III #6

DK III: The Master Race, Issue #6 is the Battle of Gotham, proper.  By using the Flash's super speed, Batman and company seed the air with synthetic kryptonite in Issue #5, making the Kandor Kryptonians vulnerable.  Now the millions of Gothamites form an angry mob against their would-be oppressors.  The Kandorians flee Gotham; Lara is bested by her mother, Baal is bested by Batgirl using a slingshot and kryptonite.  Then an errant eye beam hits the Batman, who apparently dies in Superman's arms, his last words about Carrie Kelley.

I don't usually post as many spoilers as I have for this series.  I more try to interest readers into buying the comics and finding out for themselves what happens.  This series is special, and the rules break down a little bit.  Will Bruce Wayne die?  For good?  Will Carrie Kelley take over his mantle?  I think the fact that Frank Miller wants to write a Dark Knight IV (Brian Azzarello mostly writes DK III) suggests that there will be an old, decrepit Bruce Wayne running around in a costume at some point in the future.
