The movie opens with Batman, Martin Stein, and Ronald Raymond entering the Justice League Watchtower as all of the heroes gather for Batman's speech. Ronald asks why they're there but Batman doesn't say anything and goes up to the microphone. Just then Superman gets there and tells Batman that Darkseid's army is almost there. The Flash tells Batman that they should be preparing for doomsday but Batman tells him doomsday wont happen. All of the heroes start talking to each other about it until Batman tells everyone to be quiet. Superman asks why they should be listening to him, a human with no powers. Flash defends Batman but Batman says yes he is just a human and doesn't have powers but that makes him strong, the fact that he is there with nothing but he is still willing to fight alongside Gods to fight a God. He tells them that Darkseid is sending his nephew Steppenwolf to retrieve the 3 mother boxes and use them to find the Anti-Life Equation and they need to protect Earth at all costs. The movie climaxes with a huge battle between the League and Steppenwolf which ends in Superman taking all three boxes and hiding them while Flash and Green Lantern deliver the final blow to Steppenwolf. The movie ends with Darkseid telling Desaad that it is only a matter of time before he goes to Earth himself while the League celebrates their victory not knowing what is coming.
