Inspired by the Black Lion video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjLQyBD-wfA The Justice League faces their greatest threat yet with the arrival of Brainiac, who reveals himself as partially responsible for Krypton's destruction and seeks to extract Earth's largest city to add to his collection before annihilating the planet to prevent any further knowledge from emerging. Supergirl, newly introduced and central to the plot, learns that Brainiac followed her pod to Earth. Calculating a slim 5% chance of defeat, Brainiac forms the Legion of Doom by deceiving several villains, including Sinestro, Bizarro (a clone of Superman created by Lex Luthor), and others. The Justice League lineup features the original founders, Supergirl, Ryan Choi as the new Atom, and Jon Stewart's Green Lantern. During the conflict, Cyborg is temporarily transformed into The Grid by Brainiac's hacking, unlocking his full potential and making him a formidable adversary. Despite the odds, the Justice League battles the Legion of Doom and Brainiac, who succeeds in shrinking Metropolis but fails to destroy the world when his recruits turn against him upon discovering his true intentions. The city is restored with significant damage, and after regaining control, Cyborg taps into his Mother Box abilities, foreseeing a dark future where Superman turns against them and Themyscira is destroyed, hinting at the dire events of the nightmare timeline.
