Summary
Jim Gordon and Bullock light the Bat-Signal as they are overwhelmed and drowning, but Aquaman rescues them.

Vulko wakes up and tells Superman to find Aquaman.
Aquaman tries to figure out what happened, and realizes that the missiles must have hit Atlantis. Batman interprets Aquaman's musings as defending Atlantis. They are interrupted by an attack on Batman. The pair arrive at the satellite to met with Vulko, Superman and Wonder Woman. Vulko tells Aquaman the incident with the aircraft carrier was planned, in order to start a war.
The Trench emerge from their prison.
Aquaman asks to be allowed to stop the war, Batman says he has one chance. Aquaman confronts Orm as he's about to sink Boston and starts to talk with him, but Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman interrupt. Aquaman gets annoyed at them and attacks Batman.
Comments
This issue's 1:25 "Throne of Atlantis" variant cover by Jim Lee and Scott Williams connects with one of the Justice League #15 "Throne of Atlantis" variant covers to form a single image.
This issue also features a 1:25 B&W variant wraparound cover and a blank "We Can Be Heroes" cover.
Aquaman tells Batman that he turned his back on the surface world when he first became king of Atlantis, but the formation of the Justice League through the attack by Darkseid tore his loyalties away.
Aquaman admits to making the invasion plans with his brother. He says he was in a very different state of mind at the time.
Despite promising to give him some time, the superhero trinity interrupts Aquaman before he can even get started explaining the situation to Orm. Aquaman is naturally rather annoyed at them for not giving him the promised amount of time. Batman comes off as a complete jerk.
Characters: Jim Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Batman, Superman, Vulko, Wonder Woman, Lois Lane, Cyborg, the Trench
