“THE TAKEN EARTH” Part I “WE ARE NOT ALONE”
Batman has just locked The Joker away in Arkham yet again, and crime has reached a record low in Gotham. Alfred Pennyworth decides to bring up the potential idea to Batman about potentially retiring the Batsuit forever and pushes Bruce Wayne to the forefront once again. But is the Caped Crusader ready to hang up his boots just yet? Will the people of Gotham let him? But Wonder Woman is the first to notice that something is wrong, interrupted from training new Justice League members on the Watchtower when a powerful meteor rips the structure in two. Immediately flying down to investigate, Wonder Woman is shocked to find just who lurks within the wreckage! But both Bruce and Diana have bigger problems to worry about. Superman is absent, having been lured away to where Krypton used to be in search of an ancient Kryptonian distress call.
And the Sun… the Sun is no longer there.

“The Boy Who Fell From Earth”
Jon Kent was abandoned by his best friend (See SUPERBOY & ROBIN #11), tricked, and left behind in this strange lost world. After traveling through a savage landscape (wait, was that a pterodactyl?) he grows tired and decides to rest, but night never comes. He wishes he would have paid more attention on that scouting trip with Damian and Alfred, as he'd settle for a nice safe camp over a fortress of solitude at this point. Darkness does not arrive for Jon but something(s) else does - Lizard Men! Unfortunately for Jon, as he will quickly realize, the never-setting sun in the bowl shaped sky of Skartaris does not have the same effect on his Kryptonian powers as the one of the outside world, thus limiting and altering his abilities in peculiar ways. The Lizard Men over run Jon when his freeze breathe only musters to spray them with a cool refreshing mist, and his heat vision only temporarily blinds them as if he had highbeam flashlights for eyes. He can not fly away as he merely levitates a few feet before they pull him back down, and though Jon’s still quite strong, a half-dozen 300 lb. lizards aren't easily outmuscled. Jon is captured, but luckily for him, he isn't the only humanoid in this forest. Tara the Warrior Princess arrives and showcases her savage sword skills, sending the Lizards scurrying and setting Jon free. "You're lucky I felt like hunting today, boy. They would have made a quick meal out of you or worse, served you up to Deimos himself." Who is Deimos, Jon asks. "You aren't from around here are you?" No....no, he isn't. In more ways than one. "You better come with me" she says. And thus, Jon the son of Superman, your story begins anew.

Trapped in this dimension for now after they rejected their chance to escape in order to destroy Brainiac, Kara Zor-El and Jaime Reyes must adjust to the new status quo as refugees from a destroyed world. And Kara must rehabilitate the evil version of herself, who survived the planet’s destruction.
And then – out of nowhere – a man named Adam Strange arrives on Luthor’s flagship, claiming that he has arrived from the future and has found a new home for them. And that home is... Krypton!
