Synopsis:

Huntress (in Gotham City) berates Superman for the JLA's lack of involvement in the Gotham crisis, saying that they should care more about doing good than about the law. Superman tells her that the rest of the JLA has in fact been busy averting various criminal invasion attempts from organisations who wish to use Gotham to their advantage. Most notable among these is the Locus group which appeared to want to use Gotham as a test site for a mechanical virus. Towards the end of the conversation, as Huntress mellows, Superman uses the opportunity to remind her that in fact the JLA is present in Gotham, in the persons of herself, Batman and Oracle.
