Synopsis
The story takes us back thousands of years ago when Steppenwolf, a powerful alien, and his army of Parademons attempted to conquer the world by utilizing energy from the Mother Boxes. However, they were defeated by a group of metahumans. The Mother Boxes were then divided and hidden in different places globally to prevent their energy from ever being harnessed again for evil purposes.
In present-day times, the world still mourns the loss of Superman, who had died in a previous film. However, the death of Superman reactivates the energy within the Mother Boxes and summons Steppenwolf back to the world. His goal is to once again conquer the world by merging the three Mother Boxes into one, creating the Unity. This will allow him to resurrect Darkseid and transform the world into his own image.
Upon learning about the return of Steppenwolf, Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, contacts Wonder Woman to help him form a team of metahumans to stop Steppenwolf’s plans. Together, the team must retrieve the three Mother Boxes before Steppenwolf and thwart his evil plan.
The team is comprised of Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman. Batman tries to recruit Aquaman and The Flash, while Wonder Woman tries to recruit Cyborg. However, their efforts are initially unsuccessful.
As the team hunts for the Mother Boxes, they face challenges, including Superman’s resurrection. After being brought back to life by the team, Superman is unable to remember anything and almost attacks them. Batman devises a plan to bring back Superman’s memory by using Lois Lane, which proves to be successful.
In their final showdown, the team heads to Russia to face off against Steppenwolf and his Parademons. With their combined powers, the team is able to stop Steppenwolf from merging the Mother Boxes, saving the world from his malevolent grasp.
