Synopsis for "A Walk On The Darkside!"

Big Barda is in the slums of Metropolis. She sees a man shaking down a prostitue and throws the man in a dumpster. Just then, a purse snatcher grabs her purse and flees, but Barda gives chase. An Apokoliptan Ash-Crawler steals the purse from the snatcher and leaves. The snatcher enters the sewers and gives the bag to...the disgusting, Sleez! Sleez finds the Mega-Rod and, when Barda comes looking, blasts her into unconsciousness with it. Meanwhile, Superman picks up an energy source, and traces it.

Big Barda is forced to wear a skimpy outfit and dance for Sleez.

Sleez has Big Barda captive, and makes her his slave, forcing her to wear a VERY tight, skimpy outfit while she dances and does sexual favors for him, while he films it all. While she dances herself ragged, Sleez explains his origin, how he got to Earth because Darkseid deemed him too disgusting for Apokolips. Just as he is about to rape Barda, Superman arrives, tossing Sleez into a wall. Supes asks who she is, and she introduces herself. Brad then grabs the Mega-Rod and attacks Superman, claiming that she believes Superman is just another part in Sleez' plan to break her, but none shall break Barda. But before she can kill Superman, Sleez steals the Mega Rod from her again. Sleep then puts Barda and Superman under his hypnotic control.
