Vandal Savage uses stolen Batman contingency plans to cripple the Justice League, aiming to eliminate them as part of a larger plan to kill a significant portion of the world's population. The Justice League is individually attacked by villains using the stolen plans, but they eventually recover and defeat their adversaries. Savage's plot is foiled, and the Justice League faces a crisis of trust due to Batman's secret plans. Vandal Savage, with the help of Mirror Master, obtains Batman's secret files containing contingency plans for neutralizing each Justice League member. Savage assembles a group of villains, including Bane, Cheetah, Metallo, Ma'alefa'ak, Mirror Master, and Star Sapphire, who use the stolen plans to attack the League. The League members are individually ambushed and struggle against the attacks, but with Cyborg's help and their own resilience, they manage to overcome the traps and defeat their attackers. The League discovers that the attacks were orchestrated using Batman's plans and that Savage intends to kill a large portion of humanity. The Justice League confronts the breach of trust caused by Batman's secret plans and debates whether he should remain a member. The League ultimately defeats Savage and his Legion of Doom, but the film ends with uncertainty about Batman's future with the team.
