WHAT'S TO COME...
-December: Batman and all his allies unleash a no-holds-barred
war on the Joker, the final fight to reclaim No Man's Land.
-ONE OF THE MAJOR HEROES WILL DIE BEFORE "NO MAN'S LAND" ENDS.
(This is in Detective Comics #741). TWO OTHER "NAMED" CHARACTERS
WILL ALSO BE KILLED.
-See below for more.
AS FOR THE OTHER HEROES:
-Azrael faces off against the Joker AGAIN in AZRAEL #61 - guest-starring Batgirl.
-Billy Petit continues to hover on the brink of insanity,
and the Huntress sticks around to keep him in check.
-Tim Drake's father breaks into NML to retrieve his son from
the ghastly warzone - in December.
AND AS FOR THE REMAINING VILLAINS...
-Lex Luthor, the mysterious benefactor, continues his scheme to
rebuild Gotham in his image; he and Mercy will be around throughout "Endgame".
-Catwoman faces Mercy Graves in December.
-During Gotham's Christmas season, just as NML draws to a close, the Joker returns to once and for all destroy Gotham and all of its citizens.

FEATURED BAT-SITE FOR THIS ISSUE
I'd just like to say thanx to Peter Oblivion of the BATMAN BEYOND
Message Board at World's Finest. Thanx to his website, there have
been more and more hits on the message board. This in turn, means
more hits on the complete WORLD'S FINEST website, and hopefully
more subscribers for the newsleter (all of which are connected).
He's been doing a great job shamelessly promoting the message board,
which isn't even apart of his site! Great job, and thanx!
