A doomsday cult that worships "The Centre" has kidnapped a child for a sacrificial ritual; J'onn and his partner Slam Bradley (Jim Meskimen) join Batman (Jeremy Sisto) in battling the cult, but a fire renders J'onn powerless until it is extinguished. The cult leader is possessed by the entity, who identifies itself as "The Centre", and warms of impending judgement. Hal trains under Col. Rick Flag (Lex Lang) at Ferris Aircraft for a project commissioned by the U.S. government, as explained by Carol Ferris (Brooke Shields), to build a spacecraft for travel to Mars. Special agent King Faraday (Phil Morris) oversees the project.Batman suggests to J'onn that they work together in investigating the The Centre-worshiping cult. The Flash defeats a robotic duplicate of Gorilla Grodd; after being targeted by the government, he announces his retirement. J'onn interrogates former Ferris employee Harry Leiter, who tells them about the launch to Mars and when Faraday arrives, J'onn briefly glimpses into his mind to learn the truth. Seeing the contemptuous public response to the Flash's announcement, J'onn gives his research to Batman and plans to hide on the rocket.

Hal wants to attempt a landing but Flag reveals weapons of mass destruction are on board, intended to destroy any life on Mars.

Superman arrives and quickly defeats it; Wonder Woman's invisible jet crashes and she warns that The Centre is coming. J'onn decides to help save Earth after his hope for humanity is renewed. The Centre, a massive flying island with an army of mutant dinosaurs to guard it, begins attacking Florida. The Flash, Green Arrow, Adam Strange, the Challengers of the Unknown, and the Blackhawks work with the soldiers on the base; Superman reconnoiters The Centre but is defeated. Moved by his efforts, the heroes plan to use Ray Palmer's reduction ray to destabilize the island along with a frontal assault and bombing mission.The aerial assault is nearly outmatched and a herd of dinosaurs ambush Faraday's ground forces. The Centre's psychic force briefly overwhelms J'onn. Faraday is captured by a dinosaur and both perish after Faraday sets off hand grenades. Hal and Ace shoot their way into The Centre's core but a hallucinogenic attack disorients them; a thick red fluid jams their weapons and almost suffocates them. Hal's ring relays instructions from the Guardians of the Universe (Robin Atkin Downes) on its use. Ace detonates his payload before Hal rescues him. The Flash races across the ocean, leaps onto The Centre's surface and covers it on foot. The Centre begins to shrink; Hal envelops the island in green energy, towing it into space where it explodes.The world celebrates The Centre's defeat with a ceremony and public opinion about superheroes is changed.
