After passing through the
time-portal the Green Lanterns were shocked to find themselves outflanked by
both the Zamarons and Lex Luthor's Legion. Jordan Cross had hoped that he would
find the Justice League there, but they were nowhere to be found.

Bruce Wayne (AKA Batman) and Diana Prince (AKA Wonder Woman), members of the
Justice League, had recently been married. After decades of fighting crime they

Bruce was furious. He told Diana that he wouldn't go with her and left.
Later, Bruce changed his mind and followed her, secretly watching over her
during the battle.
