Summary:
2 Years after forming together to stop the Apokoliptic invasion, the Justice League must deal with new threats as they are attacked by Deathstroke, who is leading the League Of Assassins and the Court of Owls, undercover spies infiltrating both the United Nations and the U.S. Government, and a highly skilled assassin is hunting them down.

Plot:
The movie begins with Deathstroke talking to a unknown assailant on the phone, only responding that the satelites will be in orbit within 72 days. Deathstroke then asks the assailant if he had anything to do with the destruction of 3 Millitary Air Vessels, but only to hear him hang up.

2 Years after the Darkseid's invasion, most of the heroes have gone back to their lives working as individual heroes, except for Batman and Superman, who continue to work together. As they are investigating the war between North Korea and South Korea, the 2 heroes are attacked by Deathstroke and several high-level members of the League Of Assassins, which includes Lady Shiva, Silver Monkey, and Merlyn. After fighting for several moments, Superman manages to take down Silver Monkey, and Batman takes down Merlyn, but are too late as Deathstroke and Lady Shiva escape with a valuable item for Deathstroke's employer.

The heroes then assemble the rest of the league and discuss the situation about Deathstroke and Lady Shiva. While Flash and Aquaman think it was just a coincedence, everyone else thinks that it was a planned attack, and that there is something bigger at large. As they turn the TV on, they see that a old friend and supporter of theirs, James Miller, who was a buisnessman who helped rebuilt several cities after the Apokolips invasion, return and states that he has returned to help people once again. Meanwhile at the United Nations, Secretary General Tseng harshly tries to push for new satelites to be approved and activated, in which it can track any suspicious activity in the world at any time. The UN decides to then vote on it, later which they approve, and Tseng contacts the mystery employer and reports that everything is going according to plan.

Investigating a possible breakout of Arkham, Batman finds nothing and decides to call it a night. But as he drives back to the Bat-Cave, he finds a armored man just standing in the road blocking his way. Batman then gets out of the Batmobile, and the man starts shooting ninja stars at Batman, thus starting the fight. For a few moments, Batman has the upper hand, until he is stabbed and then electrified until he falls down to the ground. He is then continously punched and kicked in the face, until the man breaks Batman's right arm and left leg, leaving him alone and unconscious in the streets, just before entirely blowing up the Batmobile and then disappearing.

Arriving back on the Watchtower, the heroes plan their next move against Deathstroke, who is readying the League of Assassins to fight. Cyborg then is alerted by a unknown message that is hitting the internet, all mobile devices, and TV and he turns it on. They find that the unknown assassin who goes by Cyber has Batman broken down and captured, and plans to destroy major cities if anyone tries going after them. Showing that he's serious, he sets off a bomb that explodes and destroys the entire White House, abruptly killing the President. The League plans to rescue Batman right away, with Cyborg the only one staying behind.

With the coordinates that Cyborg was able to track down for them, the League heads to Nanda Parbat, but they end up finding Deathstroke, Lady Shiva, the entire League Of Assassins, and the Court Of Owls, which they ensue in a battle. Cyber ends up hacking into Watchtower Zeta Beams and arrives on it, only to find that Cyborg is still there. Before Cyborg can alert the league, Cyber activates a virus inside Cyborg, and he ends up shutting down. Cyber hacks into Watchtower settings and activates a proton cannon to the space station, and sets its coordinates for Paris, France. While in secrecy, Secretary General Tseng shoots the head of the United Nations and assumes leadership, calling upon the world leaders to surrender to Cyber, having revealed himself as a agent for Cyber.

The League manages to stop the all the mercenaries, even Deathstroke, when they find that the message has came back on all signals, showing that the Watchtower is now a fully operational cannon, and shooting upon Paris, France, which ends up being completely obliterated. All everybody sees now is a gigantic crater that was once the remains of a great city. Superman heads back up to space to try and shut down the Watchtower, but is ended up caught in the gravity force of the proton energy being firing, and disappears. the second Proton Energy Beam strikes Washington D.C. and much more people die again.

Wonder Woman, Flash, and Aquaman go to fight Cyber and rescue Batman, while Green Lantern goes to find Superman and shut down the Watchtower. When the three get down they immediately see Cyber, and starts fighting him, but to only see that all 3 of them are still no chance against him. Buildings start to collide, which causes Flash and Aquaman go to evacuate civilians, but before they go, Wonder Woman is able to knock off Cyber's mask, revealing himself to be James, who seeks revenge against the most of the league for standing still and doing nothing when his wife, children, parents and sister were all murdered by his brother, along with his entire home city. With them all dead, James left to train in the mountains and came back to kill the Justice League. Wonder Woman and Cyber then start fighting again.
