The Justice League 6: Infinity, Part 2

Ted Kord, feeling the need to get back in the crime fighting game after reconnecting with his younger self, discovers that Maxwell Lord, whom he thought was an ally - but was always skeptical - has taken control of the Brother Eye system. A mysterious man claiming to be the son of Lex Luthor gives him access. Lord asks Kord to join him, and when he doesn't, Lord shoots him in the head and kills him. Lord uses the system to spy on superhumans and for personal profit but he eventually loses control of it. The Brother Eye system becomes sentient and builds itself a body and an army of OMACs, each one as powerful as Amazo. It takes up Lord's protocol to hunt and eliminate all superhumans. Disillusioned, the JL jumps into action once more. Superman goes after the Brother Eye android, Batman tries to take down the OMACs, Lex Luthor confronts his "son", and Wonder Woman makes a dire choice concerning Maxwell Lord that will change moral and ethics in the DC landscape forever.

The Justice League 5: Infinity

The Justice League combats the ultra-powerful A.I. Brother Eye system while struggling to fend off the apocalypse. It picks up right where the post-credits scene of "Batwoman & Nightwing 4" leaves off, with Supergirl (called in by Batman as a last ditch effort to save the world) confronts Brother Eye system, and Batman for creating it in the first place. The superhero community turns on Batman, with only a few standing by his side. Bruce Wayne retreats into the solitude of his Manor and drinks himself nearly to death. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure claiming to be Lex Luthor's son appears, with a vendetta against superheroes and takes control of Brother Eye, directing it to destroy the JL headquarters. Then, "Alexander Luthor", who claims he is from the same dimension as Power Girl and has been laying low, says he wants to perfect his dying world by using Brother Eye to steal all the energy from this one, mainly from superheroes, to transfer to his. He goes overboard and begins to drain the world of its life force. With JL members falling left and right and the world itself under siege from Brother Eye's satellite de-powering system, it will take everything from a our heroes and a guilt-ridden Batman to even stand a chance.

Batwoman & Nightwing 4: Dark Future

Years ago, a distrustful Bruce Wayne created an omniscient artificial intelligence program to monitor the Justice League called Brother Eye. He shut down the system once he began to trust his colleagues and developed meaningful relationships with others as a new found family. Many years into the future, after a cataclysmic event that killed many of Earth's heroes, a much older, lonelier, and cynical Bruce reboots Brother Eye as Earth's new heroic precognitive monitor. But it manipulates the Bat Cave tech to kill Bruce Wayne before initiating a hostile global takeover with the sole goal of eliminating all discord from the word. This includes superheroes. A young Terry McGinnis, Bruce's mentee, manages to fend off Brother Eye and transport it and himself to the past, where Batwoman and Nightwing, along with friends, will have to stop him before it unleashes hell on this Earth with the devastating Chemo weapon. What will they sacrifice to save not just the present, but the future? This is inspired by the Marvel Ultron/Vision stories and the X-Men Nimrod/Bastion stories.
