Synopsis
  • Lars captures Onyx and forces Green Arrow to flee. From Onyx he takes the key to the Book of Ages, and leaves her shackled to the monastery’s great bell, where she will be killed by the bell’s automated hammer when it tolls on the hour. Green Arrow frees Onyx before the hammer can fall. But they cannot stop Lars from opening the box containing the Book of Ages, which disintegrates into dust and vapor...and leaves Lars only a skeleton.
  • The city of Gotham suffers from the seemingly endless red rainfall caused by the Crisis. Meanwhile Batman convinces himself and the ailing Catwoman that he is in love with her, as Night-Slayer kills the rest of the False Face Society. Story continues in Batman #391.
Notes
  • * "Still Beating" continues from Batman #390.
