Divergence focuses on the
events occurring in the upcoming issues of Batman, Superman, and Justice
League. The Batman story begins two months after the events of Endgame
where both Batman and the Joker are presumed dead. The Powers family has acquired
Wayne Enterprises following the events of Batman Eternal as well as
Batman Incorporated. Now they create a new Batman for Gotham City with the only
man who can currently fit his shoes: Commissioner James Gordon. However after
the events of Batman Eternal Gordon is no longer Commissioner as Maggie
Sawyer took his place. A definite continuity error which gives the impression
that DC doesn’t care because everything is going back to normal once the Batman
V Superman film is released next year.Superman story sees the events of the upcoming Truth arc where Lois Lane exposes Clark Kent’s identity to the world. Now he is targeted and finding places to hide as Clark with a deep resentment towards Lois
The upcoming Darkseid War in Justice League sees the birth of Darkseid’s daughter Grail who starts the war between the Darkseid and the Anti-Monitor. We are also given upcoming teasers of the war including Green Lantern making a sacrifice, Batman is reborn as a New God, and Superman is missing and calling out the name of the Anti-Monitor. Overall this is the best story of Divergence that is story driven without relying on a status quo change.
