Here is a round up of the SUPER related previews that DC have to offer this year.

Here’s the official synopsis from DC: ‘For years, Amanda Waller has seen the heroes of the DC Universe as a dangerous threat that could lead to the end of the world. Ever since Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, Waller has operated in the shadows to collect deadly weapons and to create an army of allies who agree with her. Now she’s forced to bring some of the worst villains of the DC Universe an offer they can’t refuse.’
