After the events of Man of Steel: Shadow of The Bat, Batman and Superman have gone their separate ways. Superman is in exile after his fight with Metallo, resulting in the presumed death of his alter ego Clark Kent.

A series of strange abductions have occurred in Gotham City, with video footage suggesting that Batman is behind the incidents. When a mysterious cloaked kidnapper abducts a woman, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) arrives to confront the kidnapper and saves the woman when she is dropped from above. Green Lantern then attacks the kidnapper revealing it to be a monstrous Parademon. As the hero is about to be killed, Batman appears and saves Green Lantern from the rooftop. The Parademon resumes its position and attacks both heroes. They escape from the GCPD and chase the Parademon into the sewers, where it charges a Mother Box, and then it explodes. Batman and Green Lantern check the Box, and deducing it to be extraterrestrial origin, decide to seek Superman, who is in exile, for answer. Another Mother Box is being studied at S.T.A.R. Labs, supplied by The Flash (Barry Allen). Silas Stone, father of Vic Stone, ignores going to his son’s football game so he can study the Box. Arriving in Metropolis, Batman and Green Lantern end up meeting with Superman. The three heroes then begin to collaborate. On another planet, Apokolips, Darkseid orders Desaad to begin invasion on Earth.

Vic arrives at S.T.A.R. Labs and has an argument with his father, who believes that football has no importance in a world that is changing with the appearance of metahumans. At the Daily Planet, Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern realize the invasion, just as the Box activates and several Boom Tubes appear throughout the world, including S.T.A.R. Labs. An explosion fatally wounding and embedding the Box’s technology into Vic, forcing S.T.A.R. Lab to take Vic to an emergency room in order to save him. Silas loads Vic into a hi-tech medical bed, connecting his son with various technologies. Countless number of Parademons starts to appear around the world, attacking everyone on sight. The Box’s technology ends up connected into Vic and the labs' equipment, transforming Vic into a cyborg. Just as the Flash arrives to save the scientists, Cyborg’s systems reveal details on Apokolips, Darkseid, and the invasion plan. Meanwhile, Arthur Curry, the king of the Atlanteans, gets word of the Parademons and sets off to help as Aquaman. The Air Force One is attacked in the air only to be saved by the Amazon princess, Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) and Superman. After the heroes gather, as Cyborg reveals that the invasion is a set up to terraforming the Earth, similar to Zod's terraforming in Man of Steel. Darkseid arrives and proves to be a powerful opponent who defeats each hero effortlessly.

Superman is captured and Batman stops Green Lantern and convinces him to help the heroes work together after he unmasked himself. Wayne then gets himself captured in order to save Superman. Green Lantern, acting as a leader, gets everyone together and decides to defeat Darkseid they must disable his eyes first, preventing him from using his Omega Beams. Batman arrives in Apokolips and stops Desaad from turning Superman into a Parademon, but Superman goes on a rampage afterwards until the Dark Knight helps Superman regain control through reason. Back on Earth, after successfully disabling Darkseid, Cyborg connects with the Mother Box to reopen the Boom Tubes to send the tyrant and his army back to their home world. Though the Parademons are gone, Darkseid remains, and after Superman and Batman arrive and take a combined effort to force the tyrant into the portal. With the world saved, the once-discriminated superheroes gain the public's trust and are honored at the White House. Grateful to have met others like themselves but debating if they should be a team if a similar threat happens again, the President asks if they have a name. Batman calls it the "Justice League", after the UN proposed the name to Batman after Man of Steel 2.
