The Lois of the Sixth Dimension reveals she is from an earlier phase of the World Forger's experiments, and has had to watch whole worlds fall due to a failed Justice formation. Her son Jon has died millions of times and it has traumatised her, she blames Clark's unwillingness to ever change who he is for the tragedies and tells the League they can either finally see the light or stay with the villains. Manhunter and Kendra's "son" arrives and uses his powers to shatter the prison. During the break-out, the League are rescued by a version of the Legion of Doom...and Darksied.

Superman escapes his prison planet, taking the time to remember a conversation with young Jon in the processs

Meanwhile, Batman is told by the World Forger that Mxy is preparing to unravel reality in their dimension, and that he must act quickly to replace the missing time from the multiverse before the council of judges uncovers his plan...he instructs Bruce to make a decision and turn away the three suns in the dark dimension that is replenishing Superman before he can escape.
