8 Biggest Things To Come Out Of Doomsday Clock #2

While it may not exactly be on the same level of full-blown nuclear war, the situation in the DC universe's New Earth is still far from perfect in Doomsday Clock.

As we come to find out, thanks to the Supermen Theory, a conspiracy theory meant to connect the number of American metahumans to illicit activities by the government, has, naturally, fostered the resentment of superheroes in New Earth. In turn, this has lead to the people of Gotham City turning their backs on their long-time hero Batman, even organizing massive protests against him.

Lucius Fox is fully aware of the general public's new mindset, and tries to convince Bruce Wayne that he must tread carefully. However, Bruce, being Bruce, is having none of it, dismissing the public's anger as a temporary paranoia, much to the frustration of Lucius.

Between the people of New Earth protesting Batman (and implicitly the rest of DC's superheroes), and the common thread of the people of the Watchmen universe protesting their own costumed vigilantes (not to mention the outrage against Ozymandias for, you know, killing millions of people to usher in an era of world peace built on a lie), it's clear that the heroes of this story are going to have to deal with trouble from all sides along their journey.
