InMetropolis, the civilians are living their everyday lives untilSuperman arrives to save the day, much to their confusion, as there is nothing to be saved. As it turns out,Bizarro arrives, and he mistakes an octopus ride in a playground for a real octopus torturing children. Luckily, Superman fixes Bizarro's mess. Superman quickly decides that Bizarro needs a home away from Earth so he cannot cause trouble and takes Bizarro toa cubic planet with backward physics. Bizarro soon comes to accept his new home and decides to stay.
One year later,Giganta attacks Metropolis. While the Justice League deals with her, Batman soon discovers more to the rampage than meets the eye. As it turns out,Gorilla Grodd used his telepathic helmet to take control ofPenguin,Deathstroke,Captain Cold, and Giganta and steal vital technology and bananas while Giganta distracted the League. After knocking off Grodd's helmet, Penguin, Deathstroke, and Captain Cold turn on Gorilla Grodd and use the stolen tech for themselves. The Justice League then splits up to take down the villains:Flash captures Captain Cold,Plastic Man catches Deathstroke,Green Arrow apprehends the Penguin, Batman defeats Gorilla Grodd, andWonder Woman, Superman, andGreen Lantern Corps memberGuy Gardner continue battling Giganta. Although he joined the Justice League, Batman still considers Superman untrustworthy, simply stating in his mind that he only joined the Justice League to keep an eye on Superman and ensure that he is prepared for the possibility that Superman would become a threat to mankind. Victorious, the League returns to the Hall of Justice, where Batman and Wonder Woman notice news footage of Superman breaking intoLexCorp Tower. Superman, however, was in the kitchen making sandwiches at the time. But when he sees the footage, he realizes who it is and tells the League he will handle it himself. However, Batman takes Wonder Woman, Guy Gardner andCyborg, to investigate.
They soon discover Bizarro broke in for a reason: to steal the LexCorp duplicator ray that created him. Bizarro then blasts Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Guy with the ray creating Bizarro versions of themselves, dubbedBatzarro,Bizarra, Cyzarro, and Greenzarro. Bizarro takes his Bizarro League back to Bizarro World, but not before taking a bomb and freezing the League with his ice vision. After Superman thaws the League with his heat vision, the heroes follow them. As they leave,Lex Luthor discovers that the bomb Bizarro took was akryptonite bomb he planned to use on Superman.
As the Justice League enters the atmosphere of Bizarro World, their vehicles dismantle. As it turns out, the planet had odd gold rocks which disrupt the powers and technology of anyone who is not Kryptonian or a Bizarro. The radiation renders Wonder Woman powerless, limits Guy's constructs to chickens, and causes Cyborg to fall apart, leaving Superman and Batman as the only unaffected Leaguers. They soon notice the Bizarro League battlingDarkseid's forces, who have invaded the planet. After rescuing the Bizarro League from being crushed byDeSaad's weaponry, the Justice League learns that Darkseid invaded to steal the gold rocks and harness them to disrupt Earth's defenses. The Justice League team up with the Bizarro League to take on Darkseid's forces.
As Superman battles Darkseid, Bizarro uses the kryptonite bomb, believing it will help Superman. Unfortunately, Superman is immediately harmed and put in a coma. Darkseid thanks Bizarro for his 'help' and uses the Weirdiation rocks to attack Earth, succeeding in turning the Moon into a cube. However, Hawkman manages to shield the Earth from the Weirdiation ray. On Bizarro World, a dying Superman tells the two Leagues to use the Gold Rocks to overload Darkseid's weapon, which works. Darkseid and his remaining minions escape via a Boom Tube. However, both teams mourn the loss of Superman, and Batman finally sees the good in Superman. However, Bizarro states that Superman will live and uses his vortex breath to absorb the kryptonite radiation and save Superman. The Bizarro League then help the Justice League get home, but not before they rebuild some of Bizarro World.
Back on Earth, Luthor looks at a cell withMartian Manhunter. He states that even though the Justice League survived Bizarro World, they cannot hope to survive "Operation Doom".
