4chan I'm guessing?Anything interesting with Manhattan?
Firestorm has his connection with Stein stopped and he accidentally [well, Manhattan, likely] transmutates a crowed into glass while he's fighting a team on live TV, in Moscow, then flees in panic.
Superman hears Firestorm is in Kahndaq, so goes there and has a talk with Black Adam. They have a tense discussion and the latter calls him a "glorified firefighter", with Superman responding "Careful, Adam. I didn't get my workout in today". The scene is better than it sounds.
He finds Firestorm trying to turn one of the kids back from glass to human, and failing. Superman gives him a pep talk, and Firestorm tries again, telling him to leave the area, because he might detonate, but Superman stays there. He succeeds.
Superman goes to Moscow, talks with Putin [lol], gives a big speech and tells everybody that the people can be turned back. All the meanwhile, Batman is screaming through the com-links, while flying towards Moscow, to stop talking. Firestorm appears, but they start shooting at him, and russian superpowered-beings start fighting them. Some of the people turned to glass are shattered by the bullets which makes Firestorm go into panic mode. Everybody thinks Firestorm is a villain, and Superman sides with him.
Firestorm heats up. Batman is screaming "It's not Firestorm!". He detonates in a blue light [heh] eradicating everybody there, and both him and Superman disappear. The world is now seeing Superman as the bad guy.
😂
On a serious note, I think Manhattan is masquerading as Stein, and messed up with Firestorm's head [thus the f*ckup with him transmutating the crowd into glass]. He even says that he shouldn't have been able to do that, as he can't affect organic material. Then when Superman comes to talk to FS and believes in him, his voice metaphorically [because Johns is deep] overrides Manhattan's, and walks him into reversing his actions back. But then, at the end, the 'world' turns Firestorm back onto the 'dark path' and blows up, taking everybody with him.
One other thing I'd like to point out is that Ozy is pleased with what's happening, and smiles on the very last page to the visual of the explosion saying "Yes. It begins."
He is either:
a). Working with Manhattan all along
b). Trying to turn Superman into the Manhattan event [using Firestorm, making the biggest hero in the world to be the villain]
...or both.

I've not kept to up to date, by Ozy are you still using that to mean Superman's father aka Dr Oz or is it the actual Ozymandias?

So only Batman realises he's not FS?Glorious.
Batman's realizing it because he has Manhattan's energy signature, ever since the two-parter where he fought Reverse Flash. And if he tracks some of it towards FS, he concludes that he's affected by him/is him. #SherlockShit
