Synopsis for "The Real World"

Thirty-five years ago, Lex Luthor became Gotham City's governor. He renamed the city to "The Garden", placed a protective dome lit by red sunlight around it and turned it into a modern utopia, saving his people from the devastation that made the rest of the continent a wasteland. But his city isn't paradise for everyone. If the Lexes network misfires, and a citizen wakes up and steps out of line, the Bat and his minions are brutal in restoring the status quo.

Kara Gordon is a young ridealong technician. She pretends to be perpetually joyful and cheerful but inwardly she's anything but happy. Deep down she dislikes Lex, hates the walled city and dreams of coming face to face with the mythical Wonder Woman.

On her way back home, Kara witnesses two Gardeners about to terminate a guy called Isaac whose ridealongs are malfunctioning. She saves his life but her kind act has consequences.

Kara makes her way home and finds her father James Gordon severely disturbed. James stammers the Gardeners have seen her. Then he reveals she is his adopted daughter. He found her and tried to keep her existence a secret. But now she has to run away before they get her.

All of sudden, Batman breaks into their home. James tells her to go and get to the Sun. Kara dashes off reluctantly, dodging Gardeners. She cannot break the shield encircling the city but she hacks in the system and commands the robot Gardeners to open fire at the dome. Kara leaps in the breach and finds herself flying.

Her first flight gets abruptly cut short when she's shot down. Kara crashes down in the ground and six Gardeners close in on her to eliminate her. All of sudden, four bikers—Big Barda, Harley Quinn, Catwoman and Silver Banshee—turn up.
