Notes
- Final issue.
- It is revealed that Black Beetle is Booster Gold's evil counterpart from a possible future of Earth 3.
- Bruce Wayne still possesses his wealth which implies that these events takes place around the events of The Joker War which occurs in the first months of 2021 in the reborn timeline of Earth 0.
Trivia
- The cover features Harley Quinn's, "Killer!" statement, which may be a reference to the events of Heroes in Crisis where Harley Quinn and Booster Gold blamed each other for the Sanctuary murders.
- Skeets tells Booster Gold that "this is one idea of yours that won't go bad", referring to Blue & Gold Restoration. This may be also a reference to the events of The Gift where Booster Gold creates a dark, alternate timeline, as a "gift" for Bruce Wayne, where his parents were never murdered (and he never became Batman).
- In Rainbow Raider's secret vault, there are many famous paintings, including Pablo Picasso's Guernica and Salvador Dalì's The Persistence of Memory.
