Someone hacked Justice League secret files while trying to frame Superman for murder and secret behind Pandora's Box is coming out.
An idea to recruit secondary members to their rank is proposed by
Batman to his colleagues in
Justice League. Since all of its founding members have their own priorities, they are looking for heroes who can dedicate their full-time to the team.
Wonder Woman assumes that he has already discussed about it with
Cyborg and they agree.
He showed them that he has created a database called "The Grid" to better respond to worldwide emergencies and super-human assistance. So,
Black Canary,
Black Lightning,
Blue Devil,
Element Woman,
Firestorm,
Goldrush,
Nightwing,
Platinum,
Vixen and
Zatanna were all called in to
Justice League Watchtower for an initiation.
They all came and were getting to know each other until suddenly,
Platinum go haywire and starts attacking everyone. With the combined effort of Rhonda Pineda AKA
The Atom,
Element Woman and
Firestorm, she is finally neutralized.
Cyborg reveals when they were busy fighting her, someone stole their secret files from Watchtower.
Back in Batcave, Alfred Pennyworth and
Red Hood were mourning over the recent death of Damian Wayne. Suddenly, Jason is knocked out with a high-voltage shock and Alfred is thrown away by a stranger in a black bodysuit. Despite Alfred's warning, he enters deep inside the cave to open a secret vault and a box marked "S".

In Kahndaq,
Superman and
Wonder Woman go undercover to secure hostages held captive by a terrorist group named Sons of Adam. They saved the day but it was broadcasted worldwide, which prompts
Batman to pay them an immediate visit to remind how the world sees them as a "
Power Couple" and their public action matters a lot.
After revealing to them that he already knows for some time that they are dating,
Batman suggests them to keep it under cover as the fact of two of Earth's most powerful being in a relationship might scare a lot of people. Then he breaks off the news of Batcave infiltration lately to steal a means to take down Man of Steel.
This gets Diana furious over Bruce but Clark talked her down saying he gave it to him for worst case scenario. In Watchtower,
Despero came looking for
Justice League but trashed down
Atom,
Element Woman and
Firestorm. Was it not for the timely intervention of
Martian Manhunter, these new recruits couldn't have survived.
Right after
Cyborg detects that
JL Watchtower is falling from the orbit and headed towards East Coast but
Superman managed to catch it right before impact. J'onn J'onzz tells
Atom not to tell anyone that he was here, leaving a knocked out
Despero behind and a Kryptonite ring he was wearing all along starts giving Big Blue a hard time.
Madame Xanadu sees visions of a dystopian future in aftermath of a great war that is only defined by the word
Trinity and deems it urgent to warn
Justice League about it. Mysterious entity Pandora approaches Man of Steel to open Pandora's Box thinking he was the purest of hearts but it tries to corrupt him and she escapes.
He and his friends then rushes to Kahndaq to stop
Shazam from trespassing there to spread ashes of
Black Adam but it quickly sparked a fight between them that eventually escalates to a point where things get too ugly. Three
Justice League teams go to war over confusion and misdirection created by a traitor from within.

| Clash of Leagues |
At the very beginning, many superheroes are assembled to be added into prestigious roster of
Justice League but only three of them;
The Atom,
Element Woman and
Firestorm made it. All core-members of the League were given enough space to develop their own tale and the chemistry between the
Trinity is explored even further.
Yet, both
Aquaman and
The Flash had a very little to do over the course of the story but a large ensemble of many major characters were drew in finale. "
The Grid" is a set-up for major upcoming crossover event "
Trinity War" and its tie-in "
Forever Heroes", where three
Justice League teams will be on major conflict against each other.
