Summary
Batmanalways has a architectural plan to take down his opponent , but , because he has so many different weapons and artifacts at his electric pig , sometimes he finds himself with a contingency design that works on aJustice Leaguehero it was never designed for . This was the case when Lex Luthor discovered a plan to take down the Flash and could very easily take down Shazam as well .
When the Crime Syndicate takes over the major planet and banish the Justice League in the tip up toForever Evil#4 by Geoff Johns , David Finch , Richard Friend , Sonia Oback , and Rob Leigh , it is up to Batman and Lex Luthor ’s Injustice League to take them down . Since the Crime Syndicate is made up of evil version of the Justice League , Batman feels that the contingency architectural plan he has for the Justice League should operate against the Crime Syndicate — and Lex Luthor proves even more inventive than that .
work on this theory , Batman retrieves a lightning rod from the future that he believes will be able to sap velocity from the evil speedster Johnny Quick . Lex Luthor then repurposes this anti - speedster perch to try and damage an malign adaptation of Shazam , bringing lightning down on him for a major hit .
The Crime Syndicate may have a lot to deal in its new six - egress miniseries , which call to separate the chemical group ’s pedigree narrative .
Batman’s Contingency Plan for the Flash Also Works for Shazam
Batman has tailored plans to vote out each Justice League member should they ever go out of mastery . These plans let in specific details , like making Aquaman hydrophobic , which naturally seems like a architectural plan that would only work on Aquaman . But there are a few plan that Batman has had that could be repurposed for other League members . For example , one ofBatman ’s big plans to take down Wonder Womanis to trammel her in an legerdemain . But there ’s no intellect this programme could n’t also forge on Superman , especially believe Superman ’s vulnerability to conjuration .
While Batman intends to use the lightning retinal rod in this outcome against theCrime Syndicate version of the Flash , Lex Luthor realizes that it could work just as well against Alexander Luthor . A crazed interlingual rendition of Lex Luthor , Alexander steals the powers of anyone he kills . This makes him exceedingly dangerous , especially as his bang-up power is stolen from Shazam , making him practically invulnerable . In a bid to plow any equipment casualty to Alexander , Lex has Black Adam shove the lightning rod into their enemy and then call down the magic lightning , hoping it might deal substantial wrong to Alexander .
Lex Luthor Makes Better Use of Batman’s Contingency Plans
While this does n’t process , it ’s not because it ’s a bad design . Alexander had absorb far more powers than Shazam ’s baseline . While this plan does n’t work on Alexander , there ’s no reason to suppose it would n’t forge on Shazam . Ultimately , Batman render to tailor his plans for the baddie or heroes they ’re mean for . But with so many heroes with so many different powers — both in theJustice Leagueand otherwise — it ’s no surprisal that sometimes a plan designed for one person will stop up being effective against another . WhileBatmanhad every intention of using this lightning rod against Johnny Quick , Lex Luthor realise it ’s just as good as an anti - Shazam eventuality plan .
