The DC Universe will collide with characters from the world of Watchmen later this year in a story which picks up threads first introduced in DC Universe: Rebirth. We still don't know exactly what the story is going to entail but it's clearly going to have some major ramifications and the signs are pointing to the likes of Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias all making appearances in the twelve-part series.
Now, a new cover for Doomsday Clock #2 features a rather villainous Lex Luthor seemingly aligned with Ozymandias in a pairing which is sure to leave even the DC Universe's most powerful heroes running scared. The second cover features a random selection of superhero costumes but you'll want to take a closer look to see who these seemingly belong to. So, what exactly is Adrian Veidt up to in the event?
Here's a synopsis for the issue which drops some hints about what we should expect from the comic.
DC and Watchmen characters collide at last! The story that began in DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH #1 comes to a thrilling and unexpected crescendo in the pages of this titanic twelve-issue series by the all-star team that brought you BATMAN: EARTH ONE and SHAZAM! In this second chapter: The Dark Knight discovers another relic from the Watchmen world. Lex Luthor pays a devil’s bargain. And killer clowns trek through Gotham seeking a madman.
