The Fight of the Century!
It finally happens. Guy vs. Beetle in the boxing ring. Beetle is feeling a little fat, and decides to ask General Glory and Guy if he can work out with them. Glory is all for it, but maybe Guy doesn't want to share. In any case, he hits all Beetle's hot buttons -- Lardo, "physically fat," and more. They go at each other, but Glory stops the fight by suggesting they go at it in the boxing ring.
At the same time, Ice is sort-of regretting the time she has spent out partying with Fire. They were out all night, and Fire loves it. But Ice is feeling some pain. Fire hears about the fight, and can't wait to see Beetle beat the heck out of Guy. Ice has those inexplicable feelings for Guy, though, and doesn't really want to see the fight at all.
And, to add another story to the mix, Kilowog and J'onn get "alien registration" papers. They have to register as aliens, or get booted from the country, or maybe the planet. I remember when I was a little girl, there used to be commercials on TV every January about aliens registering at the post office. It was a little unsettling, before I learned that meant "not US citizen" aliens, instead of ALF aliens.
Finally, Batman arrives at the headquarters. We don't know why he is there. He is just extremely trepidatious about being there. He compares it to being worse than facing the Joker. Everyone asks him if he is there for the fight. So he never actually gets around to explaining why he is there.
The fight starts, with the usual amount of trash talk. Beetle gets in the first punches, but at the end of the round, Guy doesn't retreat to his corner, and instead attacks Beetle from behind. He actually breaks a few ribs on Beetle, and does some other damage, but infuriates J'onn, who basically fires him from the League. Guy says he won't leave until Max tells him to leave.
I kind of agree with Ice here. Guy is very obnoxious, but no one looks at why he might be angry. He responds to General Glory's discipline, and he's trying with Ice. I'm not saying that the team should overlook this, but maybe Guy does need a friend. And look at what Beetle did to Guy at the Ice Capades! Really, that was a little mean, and Beetle had to know Guy would react badly.
Oh, and Max gets shot on the last page!
