His plans include a successful attack on the U.S. Capitol which kills the President and much of his cabinet, along with the majority of Congress. Ra's also forces Professor Ivo to build Amazo, which Ra's plans on using to kill the majority of humans on Earth. When Batman and his allies arrive to fight Amazo, they are initially unable to inflict significant damage. Kara Zor-L and Blue Beetle manage to bring it to the Moon, where Kara destroys it, with assistance from Damian, who grew majorly concerned about his grandfather's genocidal methods. To help predict future threats, Batman creates Brother Eye, an artificial intelligence that he uses to monitor mankind. Off Earth, the Green Lanterns face the Red Lanterns, who have managed to bring Starro the Conqueror to their side. After the Red Lanterns attack Oa, the Green Lanterns ally with Sinestro, a reformed Hal Jordan, and Lobo to repel the attack. Solovar later banishes Gorilla Grodd and removes his telepathic abilities, Brainiac arrives and assists Gorilla Grodd in returning to power. When Grodd retakes the throne, he takes control of Ra's al Ghul's mind and kills him. The series ends with Alfred, unable to continue taking care of Bruce, leaving Wayne Manor.
