Given Oliver's entrapment and continuous foul play on the part of general Slade Wilson's VRA act-sanctioned 'vigilantes' hunt, which recently even gained popular support, as shown by a mob physically turning on Oliver instead of the mugger he stopped, Clark decides to shut down Watchtower indefinitely. Slade's troops invade the Daily Planet and try to break Tess, Lois and Emil, but instead even their mole Cat ends up switching sides. Hawkman tels his superhero mates he repeatedly saw the Darkness invade earth, only to be stopped by an equally surprising nobler force. He ends up sacrificing his life to save Lois.
