Crime Syndicate confirmed as villains for DC's Forever Evil

In an interview with IGN, Geoff Johns discussed the upcoming DC Comics Universe-wide event, Forever Evil, and revealed some new information about the story, including confirming the "true" villains of the event, the Crime Syndicate, from Earth 3.

The characters in the poster above are ( on the left hand side, from top to bottom ) Black Adam, Sinestro, Black Manta, Captain Cold, Bizarro, Catwoman, Batman, Lex Luthor and ( on the right hand side ) Power Ring, Superwoman, Deathstorm, Owlman, Johnny Quick, Ultraman.

Of course, there's still a lot of mysteries to be solved for this series, such as why Batman is in the same group as the usual villains...

Johns has described this story as "Forever Evil is [his] love letter to DC supervillains" and has also teased that "as far as the world knows, the Justice Leagues are dead"
