Ok, so the last 2 posts ive made have been lengthy, why? because the story was actually pretty good and interesting, and I wanted to include as much as possible. But now that we get into final crisis…yea not so much. Fuck it..like the overall series of events in Final Crisis is so abrupt and overlapping and confusing, that half the time i didnt understand what was going on. So this post is gonna explain Final Crisis as short as possible..even tho i highly doubt it.
So at the end of the part 2, I said that there were plenty of unanswered questions and that everything would become clear in Final Crisis…well guess wat. That shit doesnt happen. If anything, all this gets even MORE confusing.
I read Final Crisis 1-7. didnt get it. and i was like WTF?!…so i did some research and found out u had to read Batman RIP…then skip one issue of batman, and then read ONE PAGE of issue #683. So you went from the end of RIP (#681) to a random page in issue #683. Basically what that page shows is batman returning to the batcave all wet (from the helicopter crash in the end of RIP) and Alfred asking “are you ok sir?” and batman saying “dont worry about it, i got an Emergency call from the JLA, gtfo”…THEN you begin reading Final Crisis.
It kinda make sence, since at the end of RIP we see him dissappear, and then all of a sudden in Final Crisis #1, he is there like its all good. So that page in Batman #683, kinda connects the dots.
So basically, im gonna try and summarize Final Crisis in less than a paragraph…here it goes.
Final Crisis, is the culmination of events that have led up to the end of the world, leading to the “Final Crisis” before its all set and done. Before final crisis there was a 52 issue run that was released Weekly named “Countdown to Final crisis” It told a bunch of little stories that reflected the JLA among other groups in the DCUniverse, getting ready for the end. What happens is that theres this bad guy named Darkseid. He…like all supervillians is trying to take over the world. But what makes him different is that hes a “god” like..zeus, not like jesus lol..but yes hes a God, and he has been set to take over universes and now hes in ours, trying to take over the earth. the JLA is the main group that is trying to stop them, but ofcourse there are other groups like the Green Lantern Corps, and a bunch of old, some retired, superheroes. What ends up happening is that…they fight the evil, shit happens, supermans wife, louis lane dies and then gets revived (which we dont know unless you read a separate tie-in), and batman gets captured. Since Batman gets captured by the evil ppl in Final Crisis, then he cant appear in the batman issues (because thats how comics work. theres only ONE batman character and he can move about in the DCUniverse, so if he/she is in one area, they cant be in their own comic storyline) anyways. Since batman issues are still being released during FC, there are 5 issues where batman isnt the main protagonist. These 5 issues are subtitled “Last Rights” and basically deal with how Gotham City and ppl are wondering where batman is, and dealing with the final crisis ordeal and stuff….some of them are kinda good back stories, but none of them are good enough to talk about. just know that between RIP and the end of FC, there ARE batman issues, but they mean shit. anyways…back to FC…
…Fuck i just realized this shit is getting long..ugh..ok, lets get to the point. Bad guys are trying to take over, JLA does their job and tries to protect the world, Martian Man-Hunter dies in issue #1 (yes i know sad..meh..theres a one-shot dealing with how exactly he died in details and the funeral, its pretty cool w.e.), Batman gets captured in FC #2, Hal Jordan is accused for the death of martian man hunter (because darksied brain washed ppl, idk stupid side story but its important since it happened to a member of JLA, the green lantern), more shit happens, and then comes..Issue #6. The Variant Cover has Batman on it, which means something is gonna happen. Basically Batman escapes, goes into Darksieds Lair. Grabs some “God Killing Gun” puts a “God Killing” bullet in that bitch, and shoots Darksied in his heart. He dies, but at the same time, Darkseid shoots some laser looking shit…batman surprised as fuck doesnt move..and it hits his chest, and zooms back and hits his head…Bruce Wayne has died.

Sigh, Grant Morrison is credited for killing the GODDAMN BATMAN! WTF?!…lmao anyways yes batman dies, darksied dies, superman finishes off any other extra baddies, final crisis ends, the world is saved. Boom. Thats basically all you need to know. The backbone of it all. Theres some details i missed of course, but if u want them go read 1-7 AND the tie ins. shits ridicolous, so i just said the main story.
So in the conclusion to Batman RIP, we see what we think is the end for bruce wayne. When it really isnt. Then in FC we witness him getting murdered by the hands of Darksied, and now we know what bruce waynes fate has been ever since RIP began.
Only thing i have to mention is that…i read RIP and Final Crisis a bit late. so when i got the issues they were all set and done and released, so i researched and purchased the issues i needed to read to understand wat was going on. But when these issues were being released noone knew the order. AND most of the issues overlapped each other and werent even released in the same order. For example, Final Crisis 1-7 has been out for about 3-4 months now. But to this date, there are STILL one shots, and mini series that tie in to Final Crisis, still being released. sooo maybe one these one shots, goes inbetween idk?..Issue #4 or something, and were missing that part for the whole story to make a bit more sence. so its kinda stupid. same thing with the batman tie ins. Issue #683 where we had to read that ONE page to make everything make sence, wasnt released until Final Crisis #2 or 3 i think…soooo you get what im saying. retarded.
So batmans dead, gotham is in a fucking shit hole. Whats gonna happen? Bitches gonna fight for the Cowl. which segways me right into…Battle for the Cowl. Which ill talk about in part 4
