Plot
The story begins when the leader of the Venom Gang, Bane and right-hand man Bird, arrive at Gotham City, forcing Bruce wayne to Come out of retirement after the death of both Jason Todd and the Joker.

Meanwhile, Lex Luthor, previous Governor of Virginia, is elected President. He promises the people of America to "clean up the mess" caused by Superman and General Zod during the events of Man of Steel.

Batman saves 17-year-old Tim Drake from an attack by a few members of the Vemom Gang. Drake buys himself an imitation Robin costume and searches for Batman, seeking to help him. He finds Batman at the city dump where he fights an army of Criminals. Though Batman defeats the Venom army with his weaponry, Bane, the leader of the Venom Gang, beats him in combat. TIm distracts Bane long enough to allow himself and Batman to escape. With the help of retiring Commissioner James Gordon and the new Robin, Batman defeats Bane on his own terms. The Venom Gang disbands.

Batman goes to the GCPD with Robin, and discovers that one of the venom-enhanced inmates from the fight with Bane is missing. The inmate is later found dead, but the storage tank of venom is nowhere to be found. President Lex Luthor reveals that his head of security, none other than John Corben, killed the venom enhanced member of the gang, and stole the venom.

Superman, meanwhile, makes his entrance when saving Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, and several others from a deadly explosion in Metropolis. It is revealed later that the explosion was an attempt by president Lex Luthor to drive superman mad by killing his friends. Superman believes that batman caused it, and goes to Gotham to investigate.

The United States government discovers that a 10,000 ton Kryptonian meteor is hurtling toward Earth. Instead of asking superheroes for aid and wanting to take credit for himself, Luthor decides to destroy it with the nuclear missles. Luthor arranges a meeting with Superman in Gotham City under the pretense of forming a pact. This results in a battle between the hired Metallo and Superman, and the latter is overcome when Metallo uses his Kryptonite heart to subdue Superman. Batman intervenes, and defeats Metallo. Batman interrogates Metallo in the hopes to find and take down Luthor, but Superman, disagreeing with Batman's tactics, tries to intervene. A brief fight breaks out, and although most of Batman's weaponry is proved useless, Batman escapes.

Meanwhile, in Themyscyra, The Amazon Queen decides to send a scout to Metropolis to "discover what is going on in the world of men", and chooses her best warrior, Diana, who becomes to be known as Wonder Woman.

Meanwhile, Luthor's missiles fail to stop the meteor when the sheer amount of radiation being emitted by it detonates them before impact. Wonder Woman, disguised as a normal woman named Diana Prince, later discovers that Luthor has secretly been taking a serum composed of liquid kryptonite and Bane's Venom since the last days of the presidential election campaign, making him lose whatever rationality he had left. Luthor intends to let the meteorite hit Earth, making him able to take over the planet with his Kyptonite-fueled Robot army, in which Metallo was the prototype.

Superman goes to Gotham once again, and decides with Batman that they must work together. They head to metropolis to stop Luthor from unleashing his robot army, joined later by Wonder Woman.

During the following battle in which the three come out victorious, Wonder Woman has a flash back to themyscyra of a battle where she killed Ares, the God of War. Lex Luthor fights superman in his mech suit, being defeated, and peace is restored after Diana destroys the meteor. Statues are made of the three, with a plaque saying "worlds finest".
