Phase Three

**Phase Three**, also known as **Rise of The Legion**, is the third part of the DC Extended Universe and the third part of the **New Gods Saga**.

## **Overview**

The third phase focuses on the post-Battle of Steppenwolf’s invasion, while having some context on how the Black Zero event affected certain individuals (Victor, Barry, Arthur, Barbara and Dinah) and after Superman's arrival, meta-humans have started coming out the dark. The league are now known as saviors of the world, but their unity unintentionally spawns a more dangerous group created to bring them down, the Legion of Doom.
