Plot

 * Steppenwolf and his parademons are seen attacking and destroying a low-life planet being guarded by the green lanterns Hal Jordan and K'ryssma. Steppenwolf eyes Earth as the next target, but is worried about the Kryptonian Superman. He thinks of a plan.
 * An undercover Diana gives a retired Bruce Wayne in Italy clues and hidden messages to return to being Batman, as there may be an imminent threat. He decides to return to Gotham City and become the Batman once again. Nightwing makes a cameo.
 * Appellaxians, giant alien monsters who disguise as asteroids, are headed towards earth. Batman uses his radar to determine that the first one may hit Metropolis. He tells Nightwing to stay and watch over Gotham, while he attempts to tell Superman, stationed in Metropolis, about this.
 * Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman team up to stop an Appellaxian near Metropolis in a prime cinematic moment.
 * Barry Allen, forensic investigator, is sent to Metropolis to investigate the horror that took place. He meets Dr. Silas Stone who notices strange things regarding the monsters, including perhaps parademon DNA and tells this to the three heroes. Barry looks up to these three heroes, and wishes to join them.
 * Another Appellaxian, nicknamed "Starro" arrives in the ocean and kills some Atlanteans. Aquaman arrives to fight it, but is overwhelmed. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman arrive to help. The Flash also comes. Starro is defeated and the heroes decide to band together to help protect Earth from future asteroids, despite Aquaman's reluctance.
 * It is revealed that Steppenwolf is using the Appellexians to bait Superman and distract him from a surprise attack on Earth. When the most powerful Appelllaxian arrives, the heroes struggle against it, and Steppenwolf arrives in another place. Meanwhile, Dr. Silas Stone inadvertently attracts parademons with his equipment and studies, and supposedly "kill" his son.
 * The heroes then finish off the last Appellexian before stopping Steppenwolf in a climactic battle. Hal Jordan comes in and saves the heroes lives at one point.
