What a....boring end to this entire series.

Cassie ends it with being relegated to nothing more of a love interest and somehow being given absolutely NOTHING of value throughout the ENTIRE thing.

Somehow out of all of the loss that has occured, the ENTIRE Superman family is alive and well.

Barda/Scott get to be happy and a family.

Ollie/Dinah get to be happy and together.

Cassie is alone.

Damien gets to be the big savior as Batman usually is.

I wonder what kind of new universe was born.

Doesn't really feel like the end....

Well, it was better than the ending from DC vs Vampires.

Yet further proof that becoming a Batfamily love interest is the worst fate to befall a Wonderfam member.

Also, is it just me or did Damian's sacrifice make almost zero sense and feel incredibly rushed

Man Tom Taylor really is not good with the Wonder-Fam characters.

God help us if he actually writes a Wonder Woman book of some kind.

I'm sure that they'll figure out how to extend this series as long as it keeps selling.

Didn’t read it, I only read the first one which I didn’t like. Seems the series only got worse from then on.

Yeah Taylor just wanted WonderBat because he is a DCAU fanboy. He doesn’t care about Cassie at all, he just wanted to pair Damian Batman with a Wonder. Nobody seems to like this ship so nothing came of it I guess. They really need to stop pairing the Wonders with the Bats or Supers (except for Conner & Cassie because that’s the only one I like ).

Guess we wait for the next Elseworld series Taylor will inflict on us….

[Morgoth]

This whole book didn't feel necessary and was incredibly rushed.
Ending was emotional, especially for Super Sons fans, but if we think about it, it's just drama for the sake of drama. Moreover, in terms of the story of this entire saga, Damian's death does not seem to be the right decision at all, because legacy is a large part of this story, and killing Bruce's last successor, instead of letting some older character like Clark or Cyborg finish this, doesn't really feel right.

Alfred turning Badass/Damian saving the day/ a superpowered meta becoming a Love intrest out of nowhere is pretty much Tom rehasing themes from Injustice. Didn't see Damian dying though.

The DCeased series has been awesome even if the final instalment turned out the weakest.

What happened in that book?

spoilers:

Babs killed Dick but got turned and took his place as leader of the vampires. It was a very bleak ending except the heroes succeeded in piercing the cover the vampires had created to block out the sun, restoring some light to the world.

end of spoilers

Agreed that it felt pretty boring.

The whole "I hacked you without you knowing" turn was the most ridiculous development, even in an issue where calling Ares a coward works and Darkseid's power levels are pretty much just green lantern level.

Sounds about right for a Tom Taylor comic.
