Returning to the real world after almost three weeks at the Vanishing Point reading three books that unveiled the events of the coming two years (as well as significant details of the life Oliver Queen experienced prior to being sent back in time by Mar-Novu), the Justice League and its allies prepare to step forward and serve the role they must, to act as champions for the world, fighting for it as it should be, showing it what it can be.
But as they suspected, Mar-Novu is displeased with the intervention of The Source and The Spectre and becomes the Justice League's adversary, promising to throw trial after trial at them until they acknowledge the truth: that only ruthless pragmatism will save the universe from the Crisis, not compassion and selflessness.
The heroes themselves face new trials as Malcolm Merlyn becomes imbued with power from Gordon Godfrey to serve as an agent of Darkseid and the Court of Owls joins forces with Tempest and others like them to bring an end to the golden age of heroism before it can even begin...
