## Plot

Five years after the Justice League has disappeared, crime rates are up all over the world, and Gotham City has been taken over by the Joker and other villains. Damian, the son of Batman who has been raised by the League of Shadows, learns of his heritage and returns to Gotham to find his father. Superman's son, Jon Kent, reluctantly agrees to work with him to find all the missing heroes, but a message from the future by Bart Allen, the Flash's grandson, reveals that without the Justice League, Earth will be destroyed by an upcoming threat. Hearing this, they team-up with Donna Troy and Connor Hawke in an attempt to save the world. In the first season, the New Justice League seeks to take back Gotham City, working with Barbara Gordon/Oracle, the last member of the Bat Family who has held out hope, Jim Gordon, the former Commissioner, and Lois Lane, Jon's mother and Superman's wife. Together, they manage to take on the Legion of Doom, learning they are being funded by Lex Luthor. Joker, ruler of Gotham, is taken down and peace is restored to the city. However, Lex is revealed to be working for Brainiac, who intends to take Earth.

In the second season, the League expands their efforts to identifying the end of the world and stopping it. When Brainiac reveals himself to the world, they quickly realize what he intends on and attempt to stop him. They are joined in their efforts by Lorena Marquez/Aquagirl and Dick Grayson/Nightwing. However, Lex and Brainiac recruit Gorilla Grodd and his army, challenging the League. In the end, Brainiac is stopped, but he permanently destroys Metropolis, killing millions. Jon is contacted by his father, who has returned.

In the third season, Superman reveals he cannot remember anything since the League's battle with Darkseid. With Superman's return, Kara Danvers/Supergirl joins the New League as well. Throughout the third season, General Zod hunts Superman after hearing of his return. Superman begins having flashes of being trapped on another world and they finally discover the League is on a different Earth and finally found a way to return but only Superman could make it before the portal shut down and his memories disappeared. Zod and Superman have a climactic battle that ends in Superman losing his abilities.

The fourth season follows the League, now joined by Alan Scott/Green Lantern, Ryan Choi/The Atom, and M'gann M'orzz, as they try to travel across the Multiverse to find the original League members. However, it becomes clear that something is following them, and they realize a team of time police is chasing them.
