They saw the Stag - the Stags, the many that the Shadow'd thought were one for years - laying waste to the place.
(The Joker was also there.)
( There was burning and bodies. )

Batman'd been wounded under Gotham.

The wound wouldn't close, despite Alfred's best efforts.
" The Stag's ancient sickness will creep. " said the Shadow.
" The strike will kill him in time..
" Batman is dead. "
( " Not yet. " )

The killer they'd been after, the Stag, had escaped them.
Batman wanted that horned fiend quantified.

Batman faced the Shadow in the Alps.

They fenced, wooden sword to wooden sword.
Batman wanted him for the death of Lamont Cranston.
" Why kill your descendant? "
" Cranston is but one of many faces I've worn over the centuries. " said the Shadow.
He went on, ascribing the modern-day Cranston's death to another: " The Stag has come for Gotham's best, Bruce. Reason will not defeat him. "
" Convenient alibi. But I won't play your game. "
" This is no game. It is a glimpse of the world you've found.. "

Female Furies #1

"Yeah, it’s interesting because as this idea about gender equality was brewing up inside of me and I was combing through Kirby’s pages and pages of work, I saw that a lot of that stuff was already embedded in his world and the way that Darkseid and his Cronies talk about Granny and the Furies. It was really fascinating. I feel like I’m pulling directly from his world and highlighting the color or turning up the volume.
Kirby knew that women were capable and strong and equal, but he also knew that wasn’t [widely seen to be] the case in his present day. So that’s stitched in there. The way men comment on Barda’s body. The way that men on Apokolips talk about the Furies. The way Gilotina, who’s not in my book, handles a handsy guard. The way that Granny treats her own girls. It felt like a real ripe time to take a look at these kinds of issues within the context of a story that was already inherently commenting on it and addressing it.
Women have been enduring these kinds of stories of not being able to advance in fields for years, and even with progress being made, we still face challenges. Look at all the headlines these days. It’s amazing that we’re saying enough. With the Fourth World, I thought it would be interesting to see an awakening on the level of a Me Too movement, but on a planet where everyone is really the bad guy — even the gals – because everything is heightened."

Okay my first exposure to this was the Yasmine Putri variant cover, which has a couple of familiar characters in a deeply disturbing homage.
Now look, I like my Roibn's imperilled, but there are limits....
( 'We all float down here!' - Yeah, they went there )
