Seemed like so much more could have been done with that story arc. Isn’t Ending Battle the story arc that ended with a magical erase of Lex Luthor’s knowledge of Superman’s secret identity?

Ending Battle was the culmination of storylines started by Joe Kelly, Jeph Loeb, and the rest of the Superman team at the time. Johns was just filling in on the book until Steven T. Seagle took over the next year, but he did a very good job regardless. And his writing style still stood out. Given his penchant for revamping villains, "Ending Battle" was actually the perfect storyline for Geoff. I instantly fell in love with the revamped Master Jailer he used during Ending Battle, and I also remember Pascual Ferry turning in some fantastic work in that time period as well (He and Johns made a good team). Johns even managed to sneak in Power Girl during one story (The unfortunate "Lost Hearts" crossover.

Geoff Johns was the 4th man in that Super-group at the time, a fill-in to replace Loeb for a few issues before Seagle came on as Superman writer. That's kind of a slap in the face to Kelly, Casey, and Schultz, who were doing very good work on the Super titles at the time. I noticed that cover to Ending Battle as well.
