Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 (2022)

The two armies of heroes and villains continue to battle in the ruins of the Hall of Justice as the heroes try to reach Deathstroke, who is holding Ravager and Nightwing. Slade enters Nightwing's mind and they battle, taking on the appearances they had when they first met all those years ago. Deathstroke has been driven insane and nihilistic by his experiences with the Darkness, and believes the only way to spare his children any further pain is to destroy the Multiverse. Meanwhile, Pariah's infinite Earths are encroaching on the Orrery of Worlds, so even if Slade is defeated the Multiverse may fall anyway. The Flash Family race to try and repair the connections between the old universes and the new 52, but the connections are unstable. Fortunately, Robin's team return to Earth 0 with Justice League Incarnate and Doctor Light, whose connection to the light of the Multiverse should allow her to stabilise the clashing Multiverses. Black Adam attacks Slade directly and calls down the lightning onto the battlefield. This exorcises the Darkness from Slade and distributes Adam's power across the superheroes, making them immune to the Darkness. The heroes defeat Deathstroke's army and Doctor Light and the Flashes heal the Multiverse. The Dark Army disappear while the heroes imprisoned in paradise worlds return. Deathstroke and Adam, both powerless, fight hand to hand while Nightwing tries to resist the influence of the Darkness. Slade overpowers Adam after a hard fight and almost kills him, but Dick is able to pass through the Darkness in his mind and out of the other side, breaking free of its control. He stops Deathstroke, and the crazed mercenary charges at him, trying to force Dick to kill him, but Ravager begs him to stop and he collapses in despair. In the aftermath, the heroes rebuild while the majority of the villains escape. Deathstroke is left a physical wreck; as removal of the Darkness also purged the serum which originally gave him his powers from his body, robbing him of enhanced physical capabilities and rapid healing. He is hospitalised at the Hall of Justice but a mysterious figure deactivates his life support and leaves him to die. Black Adam once again departs, but expresses respect for Jon Kent as he leaves. Meanwhile, Batman tells Nightwing that the League is disbanding, as he and the Titans have proven that they can stand without them. Some time later, Amanda Waller meets with the mysterious Council of Light and asks for their help containing and controlling the superheroes. They instead offer her the resources she will need to kill every metahuman on Earth, good and evil, to which she simply responds "Finally".
