Actors: Clancy Brown, Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly, Xander Berkeley
PlotIn a world where Lex Luthor has become the President of the United States, he uses the current economic crisis to rise to power with promises of a brighter future. Superman and Batman remain skeptical of Luthor's intentions and grow increasingly concerned as Luthor's policies begin to reflect his true, sinister nature. When a massive meteorite composed of kryptonite is discovered heading toward Earth, Luthor seizes the opportunity to frame Superman, branding him a public enemy and blaming him for the imminent disaster. Teaming up with Batman, Superman sets out to clear his name, confront Luthor, and save the planet from impending doom. The duo faces insurmountable odds as the government turns against them, and other superheroes are either manipulated or coerced into acting as enforcers for Luthor’s regime.
As they delve deeper into Luthor's plotting, they encounter various foes and allies, making it clear that Luthor's reach extends far beyond what anyone had anticipated. The journey not only tests their physical prowess but also challenges their morals and friendship. Together, they must navigate both political and physical battlegrounds, working to uncover the truth behind Luthor’s machinations and stop the meteor. Along the way, they find themselves up against insidious traps, formidable enemies, and the very systems designed to contain threats to national security. The outcome will determine not just their fates, but the future of the world as they know it.
