This story focuses around three main characters. The Owl (Doctor Mid-nite), The Clock (Hourman) and the Bat (Batman), who are all three intelligence seekers for the U.S. armed forces.
In part one, They are tailing a German smuggler Jack the Grin (The Joker) who is carrying plans for a German secret weapon. They intercept him in Egypt, and recover the plans, only finding that the plans reveal the "ümbermensch" or in German, the Superman.
Part two, starts on a sadder note. The Owl had been injured in a previous battle with the Germans and is recovering in the hospital when is killed by a German assassin. They (Now the Bat and the Clock) meet with a Swiss liaison, Terry Sloane, known as Mister Terrific. However a German agent known as the Scarecrow bursts in and begins to fight Sloane, and during the struggle, Sloane's wife is killed. Then Sloane dons the Mister Terrific Alter-ego, and joins the Bat and The Clock , who all hunt down and kill the Scarecrow. (All the while Batman had been writing his thoughts in a small black journal, and when asked what he was writing, he responded with "nothing" and proceeded to burn the journal. Classic Batman moment.)
The Bat then travels to Egypt, and confronts the German Superman, revealed to be the Martian Manhunter, who do to his ability to absorb thoughts from other people, Jon had only known Hitler's obscured and hate filled thought of the world. So Batman Dons a Jet-Pack, flys into the middle of the Germans rally, and touches The Martian Manhunter, who then sees that Hitler is... well.... a crazy murderer. So he then decides to join the allies. Batman stopped the release of the German superman just in time, for had he not, the allies were going to release the actual Superman.
Part Three and forward will come later.
