What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Superman is Hernan Guerra, Batman is vampiric scientist Kirk Langstrom, and Wonder Woman is Bekka, producing a substantially transformed DC Trinity.
The League operates beyond the law, kills villains, and faces growing protests over its supposedly untouchable status.
The heroes are framed for government scientists' murders while authorities and the public increasingly distrust their methods.
Langstrom pursues a cure for his disease, Bekka is widowed, and Hernan is raised by Mexican immigrants under harsh conditions.
