Synopsis for "Before the Storm!"
On Camelot Nine Guy Gardner is struggling to come to terms with his female body especially since he continues to experience black outs and episodes of emotions such as crying which re all foreign to him. He seeks out advice from his creator Firestorm who explains that they took short cuts when resurrecting him and as such ghost DNA is rising within him that will eventually continue to override the host body (formerly named Shiryalla Tome) until his consciousness is eliminated.
Meanwhile, Ice and Fire bring the turtle Jimmy Olsen to Takron-Galtos where he will be imprisoned for the safety of others - fire and the warden, Miasma, have a dispute but Ice cools the situation and the two leave to find the other Super Buddies. Little do they realise that they are being watched by the local Batman whose eye is caught by a large bat-signal.
At the source of the bat-signal are Supergirl and the cloned Batman who are out to solve the case of stolen identity. From a rooftop the native Batman leaps down and attacks the duo, Kara fights back against Bruce's wishes who wants to talk the situation out. The fight culminates with Kara throwing the outsider Batman at Bruce's feet and opening the suit to reveal a young native girl, 15-year old Tina Sung.
Superman 3000, amidst the chaos, remains on Camelot Nine with L-Ron who inadvertently reveals Lois Lane's plans to kill the Justice Leaguers.
Lois, whilst still posing as Ariel Masters, goes to retrieve her natural body which Bane has been safeguarding - albeit having tea parties and playing dress-up with it during this time!
As Batman and Supergirl take Tina in for arrest an enraged Harley Quinn watches and vows to kill Tina's new friends.
