    >Luthor and Kal-El, found by Lois Lane, are taken care of by the resistors named the Secret Society and are asked to overthrow Vandal Savage who seeks to assimilate other settlements outside New Metropolis.

      I think Red Son Superman is too weak to be Superman after killing brainiac. It has to take place between fight of Batman and brainiac

    1. What If Hal Jordan never became Parallax?

    2. What If Monarch was Batman?

    3. What If Ra's Al Ghul successfully killed the JLA during Tower of Babel and framed Batman for their deaths?

    4. What if Jason Todd never died and ended up having to save the Titans from the Wildebeast Society instead of Deathstroke?

    5. What if Wonder Woman stayed dead at the end of War of the Gods?

    6. What if Barry Allen never died (IE what if Barry experienced the events of 1986-2009 in the DC Universe)?

    7. What if Guy Gardner became Hal Jordan's replacement in Green Lantern #182 instead of John Stewart?

    8. What if Doomsday killed the JLI (Blue Beetle, Booster Gold, Guy Gardner, Ice, Fire, Maxma, Bloodwynn/Martian Manhunter) instead of Superman?

    9. What if the JLA came to Gotham to help Batman capture his arch enemies during Knightfall?

    10. What if Bane decided to arc Wonder Woman instead of Batman?
