## Synopsis

Three supervillains, Lex Luthor, Sinestro, and Black Manta, discuss what they have learned about the Justice League. Lex suggests they should band together and form a team of their own, which he dubs the Legion of Doom. Meanwhile, Batman wins an election to determine the Justice League's leader.
Somewhere in a swamp, Lex Luthor, Sinestro, and Black Manta hold an audition for Legion membership using an obstacle course; the contestants consists of Joker, Man-Bat, Penguin, Cheetah, Captain Cold, Gorilla Grodd, Deathstroke, and Giganta. Giganta is rejected for her massive size, Deathstroke is rejected for literally destroying the course, and Joker, Penguin, and Man-Bat are rejected because the Hall of Doom doesn't have enough parking spaces to accommodate them.
After triggering a stink bomb in a recent battle with Trickster, Cyborg begins to doubt his worth on the League. Quickly, the League becomes aware of the Legion and their plans to rob Area 52 (described by Luthor as being created to replace Area 51). The League battles the Legion. Darkseid manages to use a Father Box to teleport Lex into a vault containing what he was after. The Legion escapes with a cell containing a specific alien prisoner. After opening it, the alien inmate is revealed to be a Martian named J'onn J'onnz who Lex plans to use against the League. He tells J'onn that the Legion are heroes and the League is evil.
Back at the Hall of Justice, Cyborg begins to question what he should do to be a better member. In the Hall of Justice, he notices J'onn disguised at Batman, creating a false mission alert about the Metropolis power station being in danger. When the League arrive at the power station, Cyborg sees that the station seems perfectly safe while the rest of the League can see the danger. This is because J'onn used his telepathy to make the fake mission alert look as real as possible as they evacuate Lois Lane and the workers alongside stopping other "problems" to the power plant. After the League launch the Nuketron reactor core into space, they immediately realize the only damage present is the damage they caused and the public turns against them for destroying the power station. The United Nations and General Sam Lane sentence the League to be banished into space.
This, however, turns out to be Lex's plan all along and the Legion then begin to divide which parts of the world they will control. This results in J'onn questioning the affiliation of the Legion. While disguised as Black Manta, he discovers that Lex plans to dispose of him once his usefulness expires. In space, Sinestro uses the Father Box to send the League to a black hole and Cyborg's robot assistant Cy-Bot is destroyed.
The real Cyborg is still in the Hall of Justice trying to find out why the League saw the power station in danger while he didn't. He soon finds the microchip J'onn used to hack the computer, but Sinestro finds and battles Cyborg. Just when it seems like Sinestro gained the upper hand, J'onn arrives and uses his telepathy to control him. J'onn explains how the Legion tricked him and how he tricked the League into turning themselves against the public and that his telepathy was ineffective on inorganic beings, explaining why it didn't work on Cyborg, whose brain was half-machine. J'onn sides with Cyborg and has Sinestro bring back the rest of the League.
As the Legion attacks the city, the League split up to battle them. The Legion is defeated and the League are cleared of all charges. J'onn apologizes for deceiving the League, but is quickly forgiven and offered League membership, which he accepts, taking the name Martian Manhunter.
Meanwhile, in prison, Lex tries to get Darkseid to break him out of prison. Darkseid refuses due to Lex's failure. As soon as he hangs up on Lex, Darkseid decides that if he wants to conquer the Earth, he will need help from an otherworldly being.
