Set twenty years into the future of the 'DC Universe', the graphic novels dealt with a growing conflict between 'traditional' superheroes, such as 'Superman', 'Wonder Woman' and the 'Justice League' and the growing population of largely amoral and dangerously irresponsible new vigilantes.
Between these two groups is 'Batman' and his assembled team, who attempt to contain the escalating disaster, foil the machinations of 'Lex Luthor' and prevent a world-ending superhuman war.
