Superman
saved a train full of people - a sniper had murdered
the driver. After handing off to the authorities,
he headed to the shooters location, but he was long
gone. The shooter met up with his gang; they were
taken down at their next heist, presumably by Superman,
but the way they were left was not his method. While
Superman visited his Fortress of Solitude, Ra's al
Ghul led his team to Antarctica and released Bizarro
from his icy containment.
The next day, Bruce Wayne called Clark Kent. They
met; Wayne told Kent about "Purge," a criminal
organization which was about to give them a lot of
trouble. He'd stopped them from stealing Kryptonite.
Ra's welcomed a renegade Amazon into Purge. She called
herself Diana. Slowly, he gained Bizarro's trust as
he was nursed back to health. Bizarro was quested
with stealing two missiles. He went a step beyond
that and took an entire submarine out of the ocean.
One of the missiles launched once airborne and destroyed
a small island.
Superman, after learning Bizarro was loose, visited
the Batcave. Batman told him about Ra's al Ghul. Later,
after searching North America for Bizarro, Superman
was met by Diana. She introduced herself as an Emissary
and Ambassador of the Amazon people. She decided it
was time to meet with him after hearing of the red-cloaked
man who'd taken the sub. An awestruck Superman explained
Bizarro to her, and she apologized for the implication.
She offered her help in taking down the creature.
They were able to track the sub's trail using her
invisible jet. They found it in the Sahara Desert.
They recognized the remains of a base, but it appeared
to have been abandoned. Using his x-ray vision, Superman
found an underground bunker. Inside, they were ambushed
by suicide bombers and nerve gas. Deeper inside, they
found one of the missiles, armed. Superman drilled
it into the Earth, where it detonated. Before it exploded,
Diana saw a crate marked Gotham City and bearing an
Amazonian knot on it's rope.
She told Superman, and they headed to Gotham City. |

Batman
took down the Purge at an arms deal, but was defeated
by the renegade Amazon. She split, leaving him with
the weapons and survivors. As he interrogated one
of them, Superman and Wonder Woman arrived. Superman
had go separate them after they argued about methods,
etc. Using her lasso, they got some information from
the man. Superman again had to get between them after
Batman broke the man's jaw. He left them saying he'd
take care of the missile in "his" city.
Ra's got closer to his Amazon and she revealed to
him where she was from.
Superman visited Batman in the cave. Batman told him
he'd learned of a Purge plot to take out communications
across the world - most all communication satellites
would soon be within 5 miles of each other in orbit.
A missile silo in Bulgaria had been attacked. Wonder
Woman found Bizarro and followed him all the way to
Ra's al Ghul. She confronted him, but was attacked
by the creature. She was defeated and chained up where
Bizarro once was. As the beast was about to crush
her skull, Batman burst in and took him out of the
equation. He rescued Diana as Ra's and his people
escaped. They headed downward looking for the missile
set to destroy the city.
Superman reached the launching missile. He was able
to tear it apart and get the warhead into deep space
before it detonated.
Batman and Wonder Woman found the missile near a Lazarus
Pit. The fumes disrupted Diana's breathing, and she
fell. Batman disabled the weapon; Diana was stabbed
by a guard. She crawled into the pit. Superman arrived
in time to see her fly away in madness. |

Batman
tracked Wonder Woman, Superman flew them to Paradise
Island. Batman was overtaken by her grace and beauty
- he kissed her. She punched him and sent her guards
away. They formed a plan; Batman gave Wonder Woman
her lasso back and left. Superman headed out to find
the injured Bizarro. On his way back to the mainland
in his submarine, Batman encountered what appeared
to be a blond man in an orange shirt deep beneath
the sea.
Artemis returned to Ra's al Ghul after being taken
down by Batman. Ra's only had two missiles left. Ra's
regained the Bizarro just before Superman found his
trail.
After Wonder Woman told her mother what was happening,
she headed back to "Man's World." Jason,
in full Robin gear, headed into the cave and notified
Batman they had a visitor. Wonder Woman was at the
doorstep of Wayne Manor - she'd tracked him using
Superman. Bruce invited her into the cave, where he
clued her in that Ra's al Ghul would probably strike
her homeland.
Superman found and attacked Bizarro. Ra's told him
he had an attack being carried out in Metropolis.
Superman flew away to save his city.
The Amazons prepared for the attack. Batman went after
Bizarro while Wonder Woman attacked al Ghul. Superman
joined the fight and took down some helicopters. He
realized one of their own had turned against the team
- it was the rogue Amazon.
Ra's was defeated by Wonder Woman and fell into the
sea. Superman blasted Bizarro into a volcano and left
him for dead. Batman disabled the missiles and let
them sink to the bottom of the ocean. A piece of Bizarro
- red and crystallized also made it's way to the bottom
of the sea.
Talia found and recovered her father's body. |

| Notes,
references to time, and chronology: |
|
Wonder
Woman met Superman and Batman for the first time. |
|
Wonder
Woman was forced to use the Lazarus Pit under Gotham City.
|
| |
This
was a great starting point for Wonder Woman in the post-CoIE
DCU. However, post-Infinite Crisis, she existed previous to
the original Crisis and was a founding member of the JLA.
I'm placing it here, though the events may or may not be canon.
