Hmm.... curious how a good Joker would be like. ;)
So does this mean Earth-3 CSA replaces the CSA in the anti-matter universe?

I'm way interested in the CSA arc. Woot.

Sounds fun. Better yet, it's based on an idea from Paul Dini that was originally going to be used on Batman TAS.

Neat. I like how they juxtaposed his color scheme, i.e. purple hair, green suit.

Hehe I can't wait to hear about the riddle

That sounds like an interesting premise (sorry, haven't read the whole article yet). Something that strikes me as scary though...an evil Batman?! What's to stop him from taking over the world?!

Owlman has been around for ages. And the CSA have already more or less taken over the world.

Ah, missed the Crime Syndicate of Amerika reference at first. Plus the cover looks like Batman, not Owlman. Owlman never seemed as smart as Batman (and certainly not as smart as the Batman that Morrison started), in any of the incarnations I've seen. I also don't remember any previous reference to "superheros" existing on their planet. Wasn't that part of the CSA's whole gig..'a world without superheroes, thus the villains take over'?

DaGlob or JKC will probably remember this much better than I do. ;)

There used to be superheroes, but the only one that wasn't killed by the CSA was the good Lex Luthor, but since he's only one man, he hasn't been able to do much. But now, the previous CSA world in the anti-matter universe seems to have been replaced with the new Earth-3. It's supposed to be similar to the previous CSA world, but with the inclusion of the Jokester, there could now be quite a few heroes on that world. However, that doesn't mean that the world isn't ruled by the CSA. The heroes could exist if that were the case, but they would either be fighting a losing battle or part of a resistance movement.
