When two US soldiers arrive in a savage, brutal land, one becomes the land's protector, while the other becomes a power-mad techno-mage. After Tyrant Rex conscripted Superman and Batman in his legion of doom, Warlord disagreed with Robin's no-killing strategy. Still, Robin helped Superman and Batman reclaim their willpower and defeat Tyrant Rex. What dangers will Superman, Batman, and Robin encounter when they return from Skartaris? And will there be hot dogs and popcorn?
