It would be pretty neat for OL to receive a prophecy from the Hand of the Source.

Wouldn't Zoat technically be The Source, in this instance?

More modern takes on Highfather tend to lead into hard man making hard decisions while hard, like in Gods and Monsters in which he goes all Red Wedding on Darkseid and his elite.
Perhaps its DC's writers being cynical towards the whole "benevolent dictator for life" thing Highfather has going on.
So while better than Darkseid, that's grading on one hell of a curve.
Zoat has made comments that make me suspect that WTR's Highfather is influenced by those more cynical takes rather than the classic "Zeus but nice."

There is of course a problem with OL visiting Supertown. Orion Did promise to kill him next time he saw him. And he's one of the few that might make it stick.
May wish to send some one else.

OL left a terrible impression with Orion and that's pretty memorable, but on the other hand he made a considerably better impression with the Forever People and helped them deal with their traumas and regain their confidence. So it's not like OL doesn't have any friends in Supertown. Maybe just check to see that Orion isn't there before visiting, which he probably isn't. Orion spends most of his time going out and doing battle with evil.
Hey @Mr Zoat I have a question. If "where did Batman get the ability to work with New God technology" is the mystery the story is grappling with, would you say it's a "fair mystery"? That is, if someone went back and read the story and had a decent knowledge of DC lore, do you think a reader could work it out with high confidence and present a logical case based on the clues the story has presented? Or do we just not have enough evidence yet?
It's not a judgment on the story either way; there's no particular requirement for it to be a fair mystery. I'm just curious if you think a reader could work it out.
