In this issue Lex Luthor tries to blackmail somebody but his chopper crashes. His intended prey dies at the hands of Ultraman. In Gotham, Nightwing attempts to deliver Zsasz to Arkham but he is beaten and abducted. We also find out in this issue that Green Kryptonite makes Ultraman strong. He takes it by inhalation too which is very creepy.
During the four page spread featuring most of the DCU New 52 Villains, the Crime Syndicate proudly announces this:
Sadly, not everybody is happy with the change in the status quo. This includes Captain Cold and the Rogues as well as C-Lister The Monocle...
... and which he dies for.
While being broadcast around the world, the Crime Syndicate also reveals Nightwing's secret identity...
Yes, DC definitely pulled a Civil War level unmasking... Wonder how the former Boy Wonder can bounce back from this.
If there's any consolation from the things that have been depicted here in FOREVER EVIL # 1 it's the fact that there's an inherent weakness to Ultraman and that is that he gets easily hurt by Earth 1's yellow sun, prompting him to take action...
Kinda campy to see Lex Luthor utter "This looks like a job for Superman". Also if you didn't read between the line, Luthor will be leading his team of villains to fight the Crime Syndicate due to his ego being stepped on by Ultraman who shrugged him off during the early parts of issue 1.
The story was OK but the art plays between hit and miss. Some characters just sucked when being drawn by artists like Finch.
