Superman faces an alien attack as DC teases a new Suicide Squad and Batman and the Joker's "most brutal battle yet"
As DC's Titans: Beast World draws closer, the publisher has teased their plans for what will follow it - and it sounds like an unholy trinity of villains will be causing chaos for Batman and Superman.
The architect of much of this carnage is Amanda Waller. Fans who have been keeping up with the comics will know that she has been manipulating events from behind the scenes for quite some time now. In Action Comics #1060 and Titans: Beast World Tour: Metropolis #1, the scope of her schemes will become clearer.
One of Waller's desires is to wipe out metahumans entirely, but she's not above manipulating them. She intends to create a new Suicide Squad made up of various yet to be revealed heroes and villains, and this will spin-off into its own title, Suicide Squad: Dream Team, which launches in March.

Starting in Action Comics #1064, the 'House of Brainiac' arc is a six part story that will run in both Action Comics and Superman, as well as in a Superman/Brainiac one-shot.
The story, which is the next stage of DC's Superman Superstars initiative, sees the Czarnians launch a devastating attack Earth while a new Braniac Queen emerges. It's all building to a massive confrontation that will pull in Superman and his friends, Lobo, Brainiac, and the Green Lanterns.
