September 30, 2013: Teen Titans, Lex Luthor and Bizarro in "Forever Evil #2"

Forever Evil #2 Wednesday, Octobr 2nd will see the release of the second issue in the "Forever Evil" saga, in which Earth has been invaded by the Crime Syndicate from Earth-3. Writer Geoff Johns gave the LA Times some insight into what we can expect...

    In "Forever Evil" No. 2, the Teen Titans try to take on the Crime Syndicate. There would seem to be some natural matchups in that struggle: Superboy and Ultraman, Wonder Girl and Superwoman, Kid Flash and Johnny Quick. But the kids might not be ready for prime time.

    "They're not very prepared," Johns says. "I think the Titans of the New 52 have a lot to learn, and I think it's partly illustrated here. But that group is not the New Teen Titans."

    After "Forever Evil" No. 2, the young team's story will pick up with the group divided in next month's "Teen Titans" No. 24 in an event tie-in. Whether Kid Flash and Wonder Girl's criminal pasts will play into their interactions with the Crime Syndicate and others remains to be seen.

    Wednesday's issue also features Lex Luthor and Bizarro. Readers saw in the latter's Villains Month one-shot that in the reality of the New 52 he was made by that mad, bald billionaire genius. But the master may not fully grasp his Kryptonian-human hybrid creation.

    "Luthor is going to be surprised by Bizarro," Johns says. "Bizarro is actually much more aware and emotionally present than Luthor could expect."
