Issues begin out with the League defending the G20 Summit taking place in Australia when the complete summit is transported in a blink to an alternate dimension. That may be a problem in itself, however that dimension additionally occurs to be inhabited by vicious monsters, and the League springs into motion.
That occasion causes the worldwide economic system to flatline as nations attempt to pinpoint who’s accountable since their leaders have now utterly vanished. That is along side a number of different assaults taking place concurrently, so the League is scattered and Mister Terrific is attempting to determine who Inferno is to get to the supply.
Terrific thinks initially it’s the return of the Legion of Doom, as Inferno referred to the League as previous foes. The issue with that’s Terrific goes down the roster and determines that everybody within the group is accounted for, citing Lex’s reminiscences, Sinestro’s current return to being a Inexperienced Lantern, and Joker’s final recognized whereabouts.

It’s ultimately discovered that one of many world leaders on the summit was an Inferno plant, so after the League is ready to get everybody again to the Watchtower the planet is confronted and revealed to be Gorilla Grodd. Grodd will get out of there due to AirWave, who helps Grodd escape and divulges his spy standing to the League within the course of, nevertheless it’s the final web page that basically throws everybody for a loop.
Grodd is introduced again to his house base, which seems to be the previous Legion of Doom headquarters. That’s apt it seems, as we be taught The Legion of Doom is again in motion and has been working as Inferno the complete time. The group contains Grodd, Scarecrow, Sinestro, Joker, Bizarro, Black Manta, Captain Chilly, and Lex Luthor, and now we have now all types of questions.
Is that this our Legion of Doom, or some kind of alternate timeline or dimension’s Legion of Doom? The rationale for that query is that between what’s taking place in Superman, Batman, and Inexperienced Lantern, there appear to be some inconsistencies with a number of characters. The largest query mark surrounds Luthor, particularly after the reveals in Superman #24.
Luthor misplaced his reminiscences after the Home of Brainiac occasion, and whereas he has began to get well a few of these reminiscences, they nonetheless haven’t totally returned. Lex can be arrested in Superman #24, so not solely is he someplace else in the mean time, the variations of Lex there and right here don’t line up. This Luthor additionally doesn’t appear to be the brand new Superman Black Swimsuit model both from the tip of the difficulty, so is that this a type of Luthors, or is it another person utterly?
The identical goes for Joker and Sinestro. Sinestro has been a part of the Inexperienced Lantern Corps for the reason that e-book’s relaunch and in addition doesn’t have entry to his previous fear-based spectrum powers, however this Sinestro is again within the previous costume and is wielding the facility of worry as soon as extra. Joker is presently being tortured by Hush over in Batman and is barely hanging on to life, so to see him 100% and aligning with this group is actually a shock.
As you may see, there are lots of questions that want answering, and the textual content on the backside of the ultimate web page provides a touch that we’re in actual fact seeing a gaggle from the previous on this panel, because it says “The time-tossed terror begins in Batman/Superman: World’s Most interesting #38, which begins the We Are Yesterday occasion.
