President Lex Luthor declares Superman a threat to humanity after a Kryptonite asteroid is detected on a collision course with Earth. Luthor places a billion-dollar bounty on the Man of Steel, forcing Superman and Batman to become fugitives. The duo fights off waves of superheroes and villains while attempting to stop the celestial impact. Narrative boxes contrast Bruce Wayne’s cynical calculations with Clark Kent’s optimism as they navigate a trap-laden landscape orchestrated by their greatest adversary and his government-sanctioned metahuman task forces.
