When I read the first issue of this series, I assumed that the child in crime alley killed Bruce Wayne for good, and that Dick Grayson had taken up the mantle of the Bat. Dick Grayson would make the case for letting the civilians in the Hall, and Dick Grayson would be torn apart.
But I guess not. According to this issue, the original Bruce Wayne survived the gunshot and doomed the League, also confronting Joe Chill before his death. The boy is revealed to be Joe Chill's son, but his identity remains unsolved, surrounded by some underlying mystery.
Of all the candidates for Omega's identity; Jim Gordon, Damian, Jason, or even another clone Batman created by the villains, I believe that Snyder will pull an "Arkham Knight twist" where it'll actually be a female beneath the mask. Harper Row? Barbara maybe? Damian seems too obvious and Alfred referred to him very formally, as if he didn't know him personally.
Now that I think about it, it's probably Duke Thomas! He wasn't in the Underworld alongside the other dead heroes!
Joker continues to be annoying, but I enjoyed the resolution to his "knock-knock" gimmick that had been going on since the last issue.
The Luthor and Superman segment had a wonderful twist, and the fact that Superman convinced him with his speech adds another level t his character.
This, Doomsday Clock, The Green Lantern, and Justice League are the few series that I genuinely look forward to reading each week, and I hope Three Jokers turns out to be just as good.
