Written by Mark Waid; Art by Howard Porter, Drew Geraci and others Batman's greatest rival, Ra's al Ghul continues his quest to save Earth from humanity by thinning the ranks of the human populace. But after being thwarted over and over again, Ra's seeks to distract Batman by stealing the bodies of his dead parents while he enacts his nefarious plot. And to insure that Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, the Flash and the rest of the JLA do not interfere with his plans, he individually defeats each of the heroes using strategies developed by Batman himself! And when the League learn of his betrayal, they look to expel the Dark Knight from their ranks.

When Batman's arch enemy, the immortal mastermind R'as al Ghul, resurfaces with a terrifying plan to destroy all means of communication, including the spoken word, the world's mightiest superheroes - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern - rally to stop him. But it soon becomes apparent that not all their number has the same agenda. For one hero the battle is far more personal, and he'll do anthing - including betray his teammates - to see final justice done. Whatever the outcome, the JLA will be changed forever.
