Storyline

After seemingly dying in combat, Donna Troy awakened on another world.
Lex Luthor awakened promising a crisis would come.
Pete Ross, a few months into his Presidency, was confronted by other figures who claimed he was their puppet. Captain Boomerang, Frost, Killer Shark, and others broke into the prison where Amanda Waller was being held. Superman got their soon after and confronted them. Waller refused to tell him who was running the Suicide Squad.
Ross stepped down from the Presidency; Jonathan Horne was sworn in.
Mr. Mxyzptlk warned Superman that dark times approached.
The Teen Titans found themselves 10 years in the future. Robin met himself, who was then Batman - replacing the man who died in the Crisis, Bruce Wayne.

Dr. Light told Green Arrow he remembered everything and was going to begin his retribution against the children (Titans).
A new Society of Supervillains was born.
The Outsiders learned that both Batman and Deathstroke (masquerading as Batman) were aiding them.
Cheetah asked the Reverse Flash to help her gain speed. He told her to kill the original Cheetah.
Flash got word that Zoom had escaped. He sought out Wonder Woman and helped her take down Giganta. They made way to Boston in attempt to find Cheetah, who'd been seen freeing Zoom.
Flash followed the destruction and found the home of Priscilla Rich. The original Cheetah was dead.
Ares met with Athena as she watched Cheetah battle it out with Wonder Woman and Flash. Zoom and Wonder Woman fought across the world and finally to her homeland. Cheetah, with her newfound speed, went at Flash. Wonder Woman got Zoom in her lasso and brought him back to Rich's home. Flash had taken down Cheetah, but the two villains escaped. Cheetah took Zoom to Dr. Psycho.
San Diego was renamed Sub Diego when an earthquake placed it in the Pacific. Many survived, mutated into fish people.
