Batman: Last Knight On Earth #3

By Scott Snyder

BM chats with the commish about Chill's son's ID being hidden and life as well as death disappeared. BM shares the likely way the boy'd died is through surgery at Gotham Presbyterian from appendectomy due to the doc being sloshed. Next BM speaks with Dick Grayson of how Omega'd rebuilt Gotham on top of Wayne Tower. The team owls describe how they'd been under Omega's control for yrs, but now are working to make everything free from him.

The owls discuss how this BM could get them into Wayne Tower, since he shares the same blood as the OG BM, and Omega. They go to Selina, who decides to help rather than pull the string to sound alarm, giving WW her OG Lasso. WW leads the owls to handle Omega's amplifier in the Tower. Joker and BM go through the tunnels when a mech'd enemy of Omega attack, and Joker gets the chance to become the next Robin after Bats'd beat the fella in the suit.

They reach the doors to the tower and BM hopes he can crack the key pad code. They get the door open and see Omega's "bat cave" was filled with conquest trophies. Omega surprises them with tightening bands which auto-bind them, as WW learns the amplifier is J'onn. WW gets trapped inside the room with J'onn as Omega's reveling in chatting with BM as he's bound in a chair, which used to give omniscience, but now erases memories to become whatever Omega wants, in his case, a hero for his new, improved Gotham.

After Joker tries to take out Omega, young BM shouts how the real BM'd've been ashamed of him, Omega revealing he's the OG, scarred to the gills. Meanwhile, the owl peeps outside the door soon get attacked by J'onn and others. Old Bruce shares his plan of changing young BM to take his place, since he's old. After switching the chair on, he walks from the room.

Joker then pipes up to tell young BM how he'd been the 1 to orchestrate the boy's death in the alley as a test for him. After, young BM spits Alf's coin from his mouth as the owls fight the monster enemies in the hall. BM then confronts Omega outside, the 2 dueling til Old Bruce gives up making BM his replacement, instead planning to stab him. Back with Dick Grayson, J'onn stabs him with a needle which makes him foam at the mouth.

BM overpowers Old Bruce, and WW passes out getting J'onn to wake up, he carrying her out. By the end it shows WW's reference to BM having opened the door anything, being about SM's landing on Erf as a babby.

Cute off and on, art is good enough.
