General Zod emerges from his slumber, aligning himself with Lex Luthor to take over the planet. But will Luthor kneel before this powerful being from beyond the stars?

Will the League be able to come up with a plan to stop the approaching invasion, or will their one chance of hope fall into foul feline hands?

There we go! Rob Williams is a Welsh comics writer, co-creator of Cla$$war, published by Com.x in 2002, who moved into writing for 2000AD when Andy Diggle was the editor, and he read his Cla$$war work. And it seems that the relationship is still bearing fruit when it comes to Batman Elseworlds.

Rob Williams also worked for Marvel on Wolverine, Punisher, X-Men, Captain Britain, and a Ghost Rider that tied into the Daredevil storyline Shadowland, written by Andy Diggle, before taking over the Ghost Rider book, as well as X-Force mini-series, Iron Age, Skaar: King of the Savage Land, Daken, as well as Star Wars Tales and Indiana Jones from Dark Horse, Doctor Who for Titan, Robocop. Project Superpowers and Miss Fury from Dynamite, DC Rebirth with Jim Lee for DC Comics, as well as Martian Manhunter and co-creating the series Unfollow and The Royals for DC Vertigo, Petrol Head from Image, Old Haunts and Out from AWA, and Ordinary from Titan.
