Synopsis for "A Lifelong Mistake"
Luthor tells Lois that he was tracking several anomalies related to the current timeline. After reading Kovacs' journal, Alfred tries to convince Reggie to help him, but the latter refuses and leaves. Mime and Marionette still hold Comedian hostage; Black Adam moves on to the White House after the Amazons take Wonder Woman back to Themyscira. Ozymandias reveals to Imra and Johnny that Mime and Marionette's son was adopted by Laurel Juspeczyk, who will have a daughter with Daniel Dreiberg. He also reveals he leaked the details of Stein's involvement with the Supermen Theory to the Russians, and that Bubastis II caused the explosion around Firestorm and Superman to frame Doctor Manhattan and make him confront the other heroes on Mars. Imra is erased from the timeline; at the White House, Superman confronts Black Adam. In the middle of these events, Superman finally meets Manhattan in person.
Among the LexCorp files, there are "copies" of Manhattan's photo with his ex-girlfriend Janey Slater, alongside a picture of the first meeting between Barry Allen and Jay Garrick. Luthor tells Lois that he wants to find Manhattan, believing he has information about the universe evolving; therefore Luthor wants to break his endless feud with Superman.
