When Superman, Batman, and Robin searched for a missing Air Force pilot, they ended up on another world. Batman and Robin befriended Warlord and his savage and beautiful cadre. Then Batman disappeared amid his search for Superman. But no one anticipated that Air Force pilot Randall Kreitzer, transformed into Tyrant Rex, could drain Superman of his powers, and bestow them on his trusted lieutenants. 

Now, Superman, Batman, and Robin have returned from Skartaris. Warlord can fight his battles the way he sees fit, without interference from Robin. Where will the World's Finest team travel next? And what trouble will they find?
