  The Justice League and allies desperately search for Batman who has disappeared with a very dangerous weapon. Batman uses his "Bat family" to act as decoys to distract the League to give him time to escape. Kendra, Vandal Savage, and the Immortals discuss options to deal with the coming threat. Batman, using the weapon revealed as baby Darkseid, believes he can use Darkseid's Omega beams to go back in time to stop the coming threat of Barbatos. However, the Court of Owls and the Strigydae trick him into instead opening a "doorway" that allows the threat to come to the present.
