Summary
Determined to temper the Knights of Rao's deep hatred for Tyranny, Lois Lane visits them into their headquarters and interviews them one by one over their propper conditions. Meanwhile, Batman, Geo-Force, Supergirl and the new Firestorm (Jason Rusch) deal with berserk robots unleashed by Project Cadmus' twisted A.I. Brother Eye.

Plot
Lois Lane is watching and reportting about the current events on Arkham Asylum, where the inmates are playfully vandallizing and taunting the Joker, who is still immobile and traumatized since the Knights of Rao broke him, in front of Harley Quinn, who is being bullied by the female inmates, until they are demanded to go back to their cells. As she tearfully treats the Joker in her cell, Harley angrily demands Lois to tell her who did this to her "Puddin'", but Lois leaves in silence with no answer (and reguard) of the Joker's condition. Outside the Asylum, Lois encounters Barbara Gordon and the two go for a ride. Barbara tells Lois that Batman knows where the Knights of Rao are residing as their headquarters and convinced them that they need someone who can temper their hatred for Tyranny. Knowing that the young heroes listen to anyone who is loyal to her husband Clark, Lois volunteers to have a long but private interview with them.

Next day, Lois is guided by Supergirl and Geo-Force into the Knights of Rao's headquarters. There, Terra and her team are convinced by the Dark Knight to stay with Lois while they will go on (what would have been) their next mission: to stop and destroy Brother Eye, an A.I. living computer created by Project Cadmus to help bringg order to the world which has turned against their creators when one of the scientists unwillingly programmed it to share the same mind of Brainiac. As the Leaguers leave, Lois greets the Knights and begins the interview by consulting them one by one (although the Royal Guard Patrol members are all interviewed together). Batman and the Justice League head into the Project Cadmus facility, which is greatly compromised by Brother-Eye, who declares himself as Brainiac's "vision to the future".
