Plot

 * About 500,000 years ago, the Martian race had telepathic abilities. J'onn Jonzz and his twin brother, Ma'alefa'ek, were enemies. When Ma'alefa'ek killed J'onn's wife, he was stripped of his telepathic powers by the Council of Mars. Feeling excluded, he decides to abolish the race and genocide them. H'ronmer's Curse occurs and kills many Martians via their telepathic powers. Jonzz, however,  is able to escape the planet using a Boom Tube. He travels to the dwarf planet of Eris, thinking that every Martian has died. Ma'alefa'ek, however, is alive and goes to the planet of New Mars in another galaxy to begin a new race of Martians.
 * 500,000 years later, Justice League members Wonder Woman, The Flash, and Cyborg track down the ruthless businessman Maxwell Lord, the mastermind who turned against the government and created weapons of mass destruction.
 * A larger threat emerges in an "alien" machine called Brainiac, which invades Metropolis. This catches the attention of Superman, who fights it. Maxwell Lord uses his supercomputer called Metron to hack into and destroy Brainiac. It was later discovered that Brainiac was created by Computer Tyrants of the planet Colu. Its mission was to scan everything it sees and use what it saw to help the knowledge of the Colu species.
 * Meanwhile, Ma'alefa'ek learns that J'onn J'onzz is alive and wants to destroy him. J'onn J'onzz also learns of Ma'alefa'ek, so he transports frequently from planet to planet in order to not be seen by Ma'alefa'ek. J'onzz later arrives on Earth and is amazed by the society.
 * The Justice League assembles for an emergency meeting to discuss the threat of Maxwell Lord and Xotar, the Weapons Expert, who was defeated by Green Lantern and Hawkgirl, with the help of Martian Manhunter, who joins the team (with some drawback - as the League learns that his brother is trying to find him).
 * Ma'alefa'ek learns of J'onzz's whereabouts so he decides to go full out attack on Earth. He takes the bodies of the dead Martians from Mars and turns them into White Martians. He also gets the extraterrestrial beast Fernus. Ma'alefa'ek and the White Martian Army invade Earth in an attempt to find Jones. After defeating the army, the Justice League wins an epic fight against Fernus while Jones fights Ma'alefa'ek.
 * Maxwell Lord, meanwhile, has resurrected the machine of Brainiac and connected it to Metron to create an ultra-computer to destroy the Justice League. Brainiac eventually gets destroyed again and Ma'alefa'ek, thinking that he cannot destroy Jones, truces with him and goes back to New Mars forever. Maxwell Lord and Xotar are put in prison. In the credits scene, Darkseid destroys members of the Colu species in order to learn of Brainiac's scanning of Earth.
