2000 has two crossovers of magical mayhem: Sins of Youth, a (predominantly) Young Justice storyline that sees Klarion change children to adults and vice versa, and Emperor Joker, where Joker acquires Mister Mxyzptlk's powers and takes on Superman.
To tie into the new millennium, Superman: Y2K #1 is published, which combines computer generated art with conventional drawing. Though not a major event itself, its fallout of B13 Technology will influence Metropolis for several years. Greg Rucka picks up Detective Comics (Volume 1) after No Man's Land, with storylines Evolution and Officer Down as part of the New Gotham era. After gaining a higher profile in No Man's Land, Huntress gets a revised origin in Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood (Volume 1).
