Superman/Batman Apocalypse

Adapted from a story first seen in print in the Superman/Batman DC Comics comic book title, Superman/Batman Apocalypse introduces to the world the new Supergirl.

When a meteor plunges into Gotham Harbor Batman investigates. What he discovers is an empty alien spacecraft. While he investigates, the ship’s occupant, a young blond haired girl, boards his Batboat and accidentally triggers the boat's accelerator.

As the boat speeds away Batman manages to grapple it and hang on. The boat crashes into a nearby pier, explodes and the naked young girl escapes without a scratch.


Later she comes upon some dockworkers, incapacities them when they make advances and soon finds herself being chased by police. She destroys their squad car with her heat vision and clumsily flies away straight to a waiting Batman who uses a piece of Kryptonite to knock her unconscious.


In the Batcave Batman scans the powerful young girl who then awakes and is subdued by the visiting Superman. He discovers the girl is Kyptonian and his cousin. Superman trusts her, Batman does not.


As the young girl, Kara, acclimates herself to her powers and new world she and Superman, disguised as Clark Kent, are attacked, not by enemies but by Wonder Woman and Batman. They convince Superman to let Wonder Woman train Kara on Paradise Island having proved that she has no control over her powers and presents a danger to herself and others.


Several months later, newly trained, Kara is kidnapped by Darkseid’s minions in all-out attack on the Amazons. Darkseid hopes to make Kara his new Female Furys leader; his elite strike force.


Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Big Barda band together to rescue Kara. Reluctantly Darkseid releases her, after much mayhem, when Batman activates Darkseid’s ultimate weapons and promises to deactivate them if the girl is released.


Darkseid promises not to mingle in Kara’s life but he did not agree to leave Superman alone as both Superman and Kara discover when Superman takes Kara to live with his parents in Smallville. Talk about an epic fight!
