Infinite Crisis is basically the sequel to Crisis on Infinite Earths. It takes a lot of flack for being overly complicated, convoluted, and reliant on detailed knowledge of the DC Universe. This is 100% accurate and I absolutely loved it😂

So just before this, Batman created an AI to monitor the world for him, Wonder Woman killed Maxwell Lord on live television, Robin was killed by the Joker, and Superman and Hal Jordan returned from the "dead". Now none of the Superheroes trust each other and on top of it all, the 90s happened! (Rough!)

Really this book boils down to a commentary on how dark comics have become in the twenty years dividing the two books, and with the re-establishment of the multiverse, there's bow room for these more lighthearted stories. I really enjoyed this story!
