But the book bounces so quickly from one reality to another that there really isn't an opportunity for anything to be explored deeply. I liked the idea of playing around with Batman's and Superman's backstories and thus changing their futures. This book sounded a lot better in theory than in actuality. When Wonder Woman and a crack team of the remaining superheroes on Earth try to dismantle this power structure, time rips asunder and Batman and Superman are bounced from one alternate reality to another, trying to right the timestream and their own backstories in it. By preventing the Kents from raising Superman and avenging the deaths of Batman's parents, these beings change the course of history and in the resulting reality, Batman and Superman rule the world with a pair of iron fists. Three superbeings come from the future to change the destiny of two superheroes.
