When the Man of Steel intervenes in a global conflict between the Atlantean King Orin and the Russian military, he draws the ire of the world's leaders and the attention of Metropolis billionaire Lex Luthor, who manipulates global fear to turn humanity against the alien hero.

As Luthor orchestrates a deadly conspiracy that pits the two heroes against each other, Wonder Woman emerges from the shadows to warn of a greater enemy. But when Luthor unleashes a monstrous weapon of Kryptonian origin, Superman must make the ultimate sacrifice to save the city he swore to protect, proving that even a god can fall—and that hope can rise from the ashes.
