Story

In the meantime on Earth, Batman and Robin are trying to stop Superman’s Regime from executing the criminals. Superman came to the conclusion that the only way to bring peace once and for all is to completely neutralize all irreformable evildoers, just as he did with Joker before – he wanted to make sure they won’t come back to cause any more trouble.
Black knight, as the one who believes that killing their enemies makes them no different than the ones they are fighting against, tries to reason with Superman, but he fails. Moreover, Robin decides to side with Superman and they both escape. Years later, after the fall of Superman’s Regime, Batman tries to restore the society, but it’s easier said than done as the new hostile faction arises. Lead by Gorilla Grodd and ironically called The Society, it plans to dominate the world forcing Batman to step in, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg.
