"Superman, the Man of Steel...Wonder Woman, the Amazon Princess...Batman, the Dark Knight. They are the legendary trinity by which all heroes--super or otherwise--are judged. For years, the rift among them has been widening--and their actions have placed the world in jeopardy. Batman's paranoia has given birth to an army of robotic assassins who attack anyone possessing superpowers. Wonder Woman has declared herself judge, jury, and executioner, taking a foe's life in an act broadcast on TV worldwide. And Superman, the most powerful man alive, finds himself powerless to stop the chaos around him. It is clear the heroes have lost their way, their values, their responsibilities--and the world has suffered for it. Only those who understand the true meaning of sacrifice are prepared to rectify this Crisis--a Crisis that originated in an alternate era when infinite Earths collided, creating a cosmic cataclysm that erased history and lives. But a few mysterious heroes and villains from that lost time survived, and now they're looking to save the fractured universe that remains, regardless of the consequences..."--P. [4] of cover.
