DK III #5


Image result for dk iii #5

DK III: The Master Race, Issue #5 is the Battle of Gotham.  The people have taken to the streets, looking for the Batman; they're tearing the city apart.  Bruce Wayne as the Batman is tending to the Barry Allen version of the Flash while the Carrie Kelley version of Robin/Batgirl is undersea, riding a giant shark with Aquaman.  There is only one Aquaman, of course.  Superman is released.  There's only one Superman, but there's a whole city full of Kryptonians, ready to take over the world.  And Superman has two children with Wonder Woman, Lara and her baby brother.

Of course the Batman saves the day, and of course it's not over.  They wouldn't sell too many issues if the Kandorian Kryptonians all gave up with three issues left in the limited series, but they look to be on the ropes right now.  That's how a lot of good series go, as I've written before: a major change around 2/3 of the way into the story.  Some of the covers have introduced the next issue.  The cover of Issue #3 has Superman frozen in black matter, which doesn't happen until Issue #4, and Issue #5 shows Superman attacking the Batman, which will probably happen in Issue #6 (cover A for each one).
