Synopsis for "The Reign of Emperor Joker (Part II of V) - You Say You Want a Revolution?"

Superman surfaces from under the water, preparing an attack on the HaHacienda with Supergirl and Superboy. They figure that the water route will be least expected, while Lois and Steel attack straight on in their respective battle suits.

Supergirl and Superboy are being routed by Joker-faced fishes when Superman arrives and blasts them to oblivion with his heat vision. The fish aren't done for, but Aquaman and Aqua-Lung Lad arrive and finish them off before leaving. Meanwhile, Steel and Lois break the barrier to the fortress on the HaHacienda. Superman notes this, and three takes off to enter the fortress. In the HaHacienda, Harley asks Joker for a parcel of land. He refuses her. He then does a roll call for his evil JLA, brings Lex Luthor - who was previously killed and brought back to life - and then kills him again when he acts arrogantly.

At the gate, the group spreads apart into their original groups.

Bounty arrives, and launches DNA specific bullets at each of the heroes. They run, bringing the bullets back to Bounty, and they all dodge at the last second as Bounty is blown up.

All of a sudden, a large explosion seemingly obliterates Superboy and Supergirl caused by Ignition. Superman vows to kill Ignition if he's killed Superboy and Supergirl, in which Ignition scoffs and begins shooting at Superman. Surprisingly, Bizarro blocks the shot. He speaks to Superman in backward-speak, which may or not be threats. Superman crushes Bizarro's amulet, and Bizarro suddenly gives up.

Lois and Steel burst in to Joker's throne room. Lois says that she has a business proposition for Joker.

Superman takes off to find Batman for help, but only to find him dead and his body tacked to the door of the Gotham City Police Department.
