After going underground, Batman (Bruce Wayne) and his young sidekick Robin (Carrie Kelley) train an army of former Mutants and other recruits to save the world from a police dictatorship led by Lex Luthor. In a series of raids on government facilities, Batman's soldiers releases Flash from captivity as Green Arrow is already working with Batman.
Superman and Wonder Woman have been forced to work for the US government, as their loved ones are being held hostage. Superman is ordered by "President Rickard" (a computer-generated front for Lex Luthor and Brainiac) to stop Batman. He confronts Wayne at the Batcave, but Batman and the other superheroes defeat him. Meanwhile, Batman's raids have been noticed by the media. After being banned for years, the superheroes have recaptured the public imagination and have become a fad among the youth. At a pop concert by Black Canary, Batman and the other heroes make a public appearance urging their fans to rebel against the oppressive government.
