Synopsis | The Challengers' benefactor, Edward Sands, has mysteriously gone to Gotham City, where weird things are happening. Batman ambushes a sniper who thinks he's back in Vietnam AND has an extinct Vietnam plant stuck to his boots. Robin tries to help Sands and finds himself in a 1945 riot! Batman urges the "amateur" Challengers to get lost. Meanwhile, Sands has found his old WWII buddy, Paul Hemmings, who's been lost for decades. Hemmings and Sands witnessed the Hiroshima explosion AND a fierce white light that forever changes people. Hemmings has become "extrachronal", unhinged in time, moving through it like a leaf on a stream, and warping events around him. As the Challengers and Batman confront burned-out vets who've taken Robin hostage. Continued... |
