Deprived of the sunlight that gives him his powers, Superman nearly dies. In the aftermath of the nuclear attack, the government then sent Superman in apprehending Batman for undermine their authority and to the actual extent, embarrassing them for ensuring Gotham City as one of the best-fed and restored city in America.
