For the Man Who Has Everything...

It’s Superman’s birthday, and Batman, Robin, and Wonder Woman head to the Fortress of Solitude to celebrate.

There, they find the Man of Steel in a catatonic state, an alien plant attached to his chest. The plant — called the Black Mercy — was sent by the villain Mongul. It feeds on its victim’s bio-aura while trapping them in a perfect hallucination of their deepest desire.

For Superman, that desire is a life on a Krypton that never exploded — married, with children, living as an ordinary man.

While Wonder Woman battles the powerful Mongul, Batman and Robin desperately try to free Superman from the illusion… but the one thing the Man of Steel wants most may be the one thing he can never truly have.
