“We’ll see Lex Luthor as he tries to get the power of Darkseid,” Johns said during his Comic-Con International panel. “We see Superman, and something occurs to him that will cause him to become kind of a god of strength, and it’s not necessarily a good thing.””We’ll see Lex Luthor as he tries to get the power of Darkseid,” Johns said. “We see Superman, and something occurs to him that will cause him to become kind of a god of strength, and it’s not necessarily a good thing.”<\/p>\n

Batman<\/strong> \u2013 Armed with the godlike power of the Mobius Chair, the Dark Knight has taken on the role of Metreon and plans to use the infinite knowledge of this device to turn Gotham City into a completely crime-free zone! The issue will be written by Peter Tomasi.<\/p>\n

Superman<\/strong> \u2013 Corrupted by the weird energies of Apokolips\u2019 fire pits, Superman has been turned into an angry, violent brute. And only one man can possibly save him: Lex Luthor.<\/p>\n

Green Lantern\u00a0\u2013 Oa has been conquered and transformed into a Parademon factory and the\u00a0Green Lantern Corps\u00a0is no more! Only Hal Jordan remains to follow a distress call from the last active Lantern seen fighting on Oa: John Stewart<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Lex Luthor<\/strong> \u2013 At last, Lex Luthor, the new ruler of Apokolips, can do what he never could accomplish on Earth: hold the fate of a world in his hands. But his one failure from the \u201cDarkseid War\u201d continues to keep him from the peace he craves \u2013 and only a crazed Superman can help him get it!<\/p>\n

The Flash<\/strong> \u2013 The Flash takes on the role of death\u2019s harbinger, the Black Racer. And the beneficiary of his first visit is Aquaman!<\/p>\n

Shazam!<\/strong> \u2013 Instead of accessing the powers of the old gods, Billy Batson now commands the combined powers of the New Gods like Highfather, Mantis and others trapped within the Source Wall. And that\u2019s power that no mortal should possess!<\/p>\n

“Justice League: Gods and Men” arrives in stores in October. The majority of creative teams for the issues have not yet been announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
