Synopsis for the 1st Story

A final meteorite approaches Earth, with Superman and the Justice League fighting Darkseid on its surface. Darkseid, angrily demanding the location of New Krypton, has captured the Justice League with volcanic rocks and shoots Superman with his Omega Beams, but Superman redirects the beams towards the rocks imprisoning his friends. The Justice League is free and Darkseid calls upon his Parademons to continue the battle.

Meanwhile, Lex and Miss Teschmacher arrive at the Pacific Ocean, where Lex creates a Fortress of Solitude made of Kryptonite, a place they can use against the Superman Family. Lex also reveals he created a clone of himself.

After a fierce battle, Darkseid captures the Justice League. Back on Earth, Jimmy spots the meteorite and uses his signal watch to call the rest of the Superman Family. Jor-El, Lara, Superboy and Supergirl have been reconstructing the Fortress of Solitude after Brainiac's assault until they spot the meteorite. Jor-El and Superboy decide they must gather all their allies. Superboy calls Robin at Wayne Manor and requests help from all the Super-Pets.

With their combined might, the Super-Pets stop the meteorite and Superboy and Supergirl save the Justice League. Indifferent, Darkseid admits he is only evil in his free time and he must go back to his work at school. The Superman Family and their allies gather at the Kent Farm, where Els thank the Kents for raising their son. Superman also admits his secret identity to Lois, who admits she knew ever since the incident with the Clark Kent robots. Upon Batman's insistence, Superman and Lois kiss, much to everyone's joy.
