That's not new 52 Brainiac or any incarnation of Braniac in that picture. Also the Brainiac behind all this isn't New 52 Brainiac neither. It's the giant Brainiac from Future's End that is actually rumored to be the original pre-crisis Brainiac from the late 50's. Just evolved.

Apparently he dosed the entire Justice League with Joker venom and had them attack Batman. Think Snyder is building this up for Joker's grand return from Death of the Family. -

Will his face be intact. Because on the preview it shows like it was normal looking? -
Scott Snyder didn't even bother to explain why Joker had his face cut off in the storyline he was supposed to explain it in. I doubt he even addresses that during this Endgame (which is the return of The Joker) garbage altogether.

From newsaramaDC's CONVERGENCE Week One: Donna Troy, Oracle, Married Superman, Montoya Question,
DC has announced the first week’s worth of Convergence two-issue miniseries via CBR Tuesday morning, and it’s a doozy, with a heavy pre-52 focus. Basically everyone you’ve been missing is there, with some related creative teams to boot. It also sounds like the villains of the piece will be called the Extremists, and like most of the marooned heroes from other realities and Earths will have been on Blood Moon for at least a year when the mini-series begin.
Yes, during Convergence we’ll see things like Stephanie Brown Batgirl working alongside Cassandra Cain Black Bat and Tim Drake in Cowl no-wings Red Robin costume. Wally West and Linda Park-West are married and have their kids in tow. Superman and Lois Lane? Also married, and she’s pregnant, too (don’t tell the Joker, Injustice fans, am I right?). Ray Palmer and Ryan Choi team-up. ? Grayson and Barbara “Oracle” Gordon get married in a book written by Gail Simone. Donna Troy tries to help armless and childless Roy Harper (okay, maybe he can be left behind when this is all over). An all-female Justice League? Sure sounds like it. Greg Rucka writes The Question - starring Renee Montoya.
Yeah, this is going to be fan service on a pretty consistent basis.

Was this a actual comic? -
Yeah it's called Injustice. That was the end of year one.

I stand corrected
-
Looks more sadistic -
Right under his nose with that one. Fooled the batman

I'm trying to catch up on all the current DC stuff...but why are the "Flashpoint" heroes attacking?
-
I don't get it -

The implying of Joker as the Devil is interesting

So Dan DiDio has been doing the press rounds for Convergence. His interview with newsarama is particularly interesting. These were the best parts.
On the role Convergence plays across the greater DCU.I want people to understand that this is not just something that's a drop in the center of the line, and everything stops and then starts up again afterwards. It's quite the opposite.
What's going on in the New 52 and the stories right now feed very nicely into the main Convergence storyline.
And it also leads into other things coming out of it as well. So it's integral to what's going on in the DC Universe right now.it's not just about the generational characters and long-time fans coming back to see them, but really something that plays to all audiences, including the New 52 audience.When we launched the New 52, it was a rather harsh ending to the current universe. We did the Flashpoint story, which led us into the New 52, but you never got that sense of closure, like you did with other events.
When you look at things like Crisis on Infinite Earths and Zero Hour, the characters that changed, you saw the character change occur and it sort of brought closure to certain books and characters and stories.
We never did that with the pre-Flashpoint DC Universe. And there are a lot of interesting character beats and stories that we felt were still worth revisiting. So we're telling those stories, but we're also presenting characters in a way that I felt would intrigue fans.
These aren't just leftover stories from pre-Flashpoint. These stories are as if we're joining their lives, later down the line, to see what happened to them.
And then, more importantly, how it fits into the grander scope of things.
And ultimately, you know, we're leaving every door open everywhere. We want to see what the reaction is, where the excitement is… because our goal is to reach as many people as possible. So the more people who get excited about ideas, the more that we'll go back and see whether or not there's this viable option on how to really capture whatever interest they're showing in those characters.
Why Convergence is just another extension of DC since the creation of the multiverse back in the Silver AgeBefore Crisis on Infinite Earths, we had multiple worlds, multiple interpretations. We had imaginary stories. We had all these different things that basically allowed us to do multiple interpretations of our characters, under the auspices of continuity.
Then when Crisis happened, we said no more multiverse, but then all of the sudden, lo and behold, "Elseworlds" emerges. And that's where we began to tell all the new stories with alternate characters and alternate storylines and alternate interpretations.
Then after Infinite Crisis, we brought the Multiverse back, and wouldn't you know it, we went back out and showed different worlds.
So I think, just because of creativity, storytelling in the medium that we're in, we're never going to be able to hold it that tight anymore.
I think one of the things we talk about is this need to catalog or number every world. Or understand where they sit next to each other, and that's something that people push for more these days.
But what we do is, if there's an important story to tell with our characters that can't be told in the normal confines of the way people perceive them right now, then we want to be able to give our writers and artists as much freedom as possible to tell those different interpretations. And whether it's an "Elseworlds" or a Multiverse or whatever, we're going to find ways to tell those stories.
We have characters that have existed for dozens of years — for 75 years or more — and what audiences want to see is the true expansiveness, and see those characters true at the core, but see how else you can interpret them to give them different challenges.
And I think the audience is hungry for that. [Next week], you'll see the Multiversity Guidebook. That lays out the entire Multiverse in that Guidebook. And pieces of that and worlds you see in there will play into Convergence.
The main goal for ConvergenceIn 2015, it's my hope that, as we bring the generational aspects of the DC Universe together, that we bring the multiple fans in together with Convergence — that there might be fans coming back in because they see something they remember from the past of DC, and we can bring them together with the new people that have really jumped on board and embraced the New 52.
And what we're going to do right now is really make a commitment to our stories and characters, to make sure we present our characters in ways that are consistent to people's beliefs of them, and telling stories that we feel will entertain, excite and surprise them. If that's something we can do, then we win, because we build a foundation from which we can continue to build stories for years to come. -
I got lotta catching up to do..
All of Injustice..
When did Joker cut his face off? What series or issue? -
A random scene in the first storyline of the New 52 Detective Comics. Which was garbage and not even worth tracking down.
The important thing is that The Joker is back to having a face again. You're good enough just jumping into the current story. Scott Snyder's Batman book is not my cup of tea personally. I just read Detective Comics, Batman & Robin and Batman '66 when it comes to Batman. A lot of people do like it though and they seem to be enjoying the current Joker story much more than the previous one (Death in the Family) which IMO was pretty mediocre and a key reason why I dropped the book. -
I'm new to all this ? , so I have no clue what's considered good and bad.
-
? I wish it was tomorrow already.

This Amazo virus storyline in JL is pretty good. I'll be glad when the trades I ordered come in so i can catch back up with Batman and Robin. Bruce and his son both having super powers is trill
-
Except Batman's powers will be a temporary thing that won't be seen outside of this Justice League arc. While Robin's superpowers are permanent for the time being.
-
Yeah, still it was pretty cool to see. Lol Snyder got some fan boys in their feelings because of the origin he's hinting at with Joker. I thithink it's another red herring anyway though
