Apex Lex Luthor’s first run-in with the Infected didn’t go as planned, and the Batman Who Laughs’ influence is continuing to spread. Now Lex must find out who in the world can think like the Batman Who Laughs-and there are only two folks who come to mind. The first is Batman, who probably has his own ideas for Lex; the other is The Joker, who also likely has his own ideas, but who just maybe wants to see this twisted doppelgänger sent back to the Dark Multiverse he came from. It’s a gamble Lex has to take, because the Infected are gearing up for round two!

EVIL IS WINNING! Perpetua, the so-called "mother of the Multiverse," transformed Lex Luthor into the super-powered "Apex" Lex and sent him out to recruit Earth's villains to her cause. Now, with help from Lex and his recruits, Perpetua has been restored to her original godlike power, and the Multiverse lives in fear that she might wipe out all of existence. Only the forces of the Dark Multiverse can stop her--which means it's Luthor's mission to defeat the Batman Who Laughs! But if Batman and Superman couldn't stop him, what chance does Luthor have? The sinister conclusion of "Year of the Villain" begins here! Spinning out of the "Justice/Doom War" in Justice League and the epic "Infected" arc from Batman/Superman, DC's two top villains face off in a battle royal from James Tynion IV, Scott Snyder, Brian Michael Bendis, Steve Epting, Javier Fernandez, Francis Manapul, Alex Maleev and more. Collects Year of the Villain Special #1 and Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #1-4.

This is it! Lex Luthor has gathered a strike force of villains he’s leveled up to be the baddest bad guys around-Captain Cold, Oracle, Solomon Grundy, Black Manta, and Lobo, each and every one a recipient of one of Lex’s dark gifts. But the Batman Who Laughs has his own army of infected heroes. Six hundred sixty-six of them, all transformed into their worst selves. It’s a final showdown between two of DC’s most iconic villains, all to curry the favor of Perpetua. Whoever wins will take over the Multiverse alongside her. Does Lex ascend, or does he get laid low? Does the Batman Who Laughs finally remake the DC Universe in his own image? Either way, life for our heroes will never be the same.This is it!
