Starbreaker's trying to kill Dharma, which is a Very Bad Thing, since Dharma's the one making the merger of the Milestone Universe with the regular universe possible. Without him, bad things will happen.
Anansi is going "Save Dharma, but remember he's one of those 'Ends Justify the means' guys, we need him but don't get chummy."
To help Vixen, Anansi brings to life an alternate Bruce Wayne from a dreamworld: Paladin.
