The story begins in the aftermath of the events of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. The Justice League—composed of Superman (Henry Cavill), Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher)—has barely begun to rebuild trust and protect Earth when a new threat emerges. Darkseid, now fully aware of Earth’s Anti-Life Equation, launches a full-scale invasion, determined to enslave all life and bend the universe to his will.

As the Justice League scrambles to counter Darkseid’s forces, they face internal struggles and external challenges. Superman, still haunted by his resurrection, must grapple with the weight of his role as Earth’s protector. Batman, driven by guilt and a promise to unite the world’s heroes, takes desperate measures to prepare for the war ahead. Wonder Woman seeks out lost Amazons for aid, while Aquaman contends with Atlantean politics that threaten to undermine the League’s unity. The Flash and Cyborg play pivotal roles in the story’s narrative. Barry Allen begins experimenting with time travel to gather intelligence on Darkseid’s plans, setting the stage for a dramatic twist involving an alternate timeline glimpsed in Bruce Wayne’s “Knightmare” visions. Cyborg, still evolving his powers, uncovers a dark connection between his technology and Apokoliptian forces, putting him at the center of Darkseid’s plans.
