Superman had his first encounter with Batman and Green Lantern when they pursued a Parademon to Metropolis. He assumed they were villains because they had a Father Box. Superman fought both of them and won, even when Green Lantern called the Flash to help. Batman convinced them all to team up, but they were too late to stop the Father Box opening a Boom Tube to Apokolips. The four of them were forced to battle an army of invading Parademons until they were assisted by Aquaman and Wonder Woman. Cyborg arrived to help when he assimilated the Father Box technology. This resistance attracted the attention of Darkseid, ruler of Apokolips, who came to fight them personally. Darkseid incapacitated Superman with an Omega Blast, and Parademons carried Superman to Apokolips. Batman followed to rescue Superman while the rest of the group battled Darkseid. Superman was tortured by Desaad and Steppenwolf until Batman saved him. He returned to Earth and punched Darkseid through the Boom Tube while Cyborg closed it. This group was congratulated by the President for saving Earth, and they decided to become a team. David Graves would later call them the Justice League.
