Plot:
The story begins when 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. Bruce Wayne feels very suspicious about Lex, who was charged of corruption earlier that year, forcing Bruce to come out of retirement after the death of both Jason Todd and the Joker. Meanwhile, Lexcorp, Luthor's old company, merges with Wayne industries. This compells bruce even more to come out of retirement.

Batman saves 17-year-old Tim Drake from an attack by a few criminals. 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 Secret service men, all of which are after Batman for a prize, which is later revealed to have been set by corrupt President Luthor. Though Batman defeats the army with his weaponry, John Corben, known as Metallo, beats him in combat. Tim distracts Metallo long enough to allow himself and  Batman to escape. With the help of retiring Commissioner James Gordon and the new Robin, Batman investigates the man named "Metallo".

Superman, meanwhile, makes his entrance when saving Lois, 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 Superman 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.

President Luthor and Superman come to an agreement, but it only lasts temporarily. Superman and Luthor label Batman as a terrorist, and Batman becomes a public enemy. For the fact that Batman has learned that Superman is Clark Kent, Superman decides to not reveal Batman's identity (whom Superman discovered via X-Ray Vision) to Luthor, so Lex can find it out himself.

Later, 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. He tells Diana that he plans to kill Superman himself, and his robot army is going to help him. He had also planned to get rid of the Batman, which is why he formed a pact with Superman in the first place: to label the Batman as a public enemy.

a hooded figure, known to the watcher to be Wonder Woman, informs superman of Lex's entire plan to undermine Metropolis and Gotham. 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 brief flash back to themiscyra of a battle where she killed Ares, the God of War. Lex Luthor fights superman in his mech suit, where superman heroically overcomes his kryptonite weakness and defeats Luthor. Peace is restored after Diana, aided by Batman and Robin from afar, destroys the meteor. Batman's charges are dropped, and statues are made of the three with a plaque saying "worlds finest".
