After a devastating battle with the Sun that leaves him overcharged and slowly dying, Superman faces his greatest challenge yet not a single enemy, but time itself. As he struggles with his mortality, he works to secure a lasting future for Earth, Lois, and the ideals he has fought for. When the violent anti-hero team known as The Elite, led by the ruthless Manchester Black, rises to fame by enforcing brutal justice, Superman is forced to prove that hope and compassion are stronger than fear. Meanwhile, the alien conqueror Brainiac descends upon Earth, threatening to bottle Metropolis and destroy humanity. Caught between cosmic annihilation and the erosion of his own life, Superman must rally his remaining strength to inspire the world one final time and show that even in death, the Man of Steel is eternal.
