Welcome to 2020.
There have always been heroes. Gilgamesh. Herakles. Arthur and his knights, silent and shining and valiant. In every culture, in every era, there have been those with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.
It is the year 2020. More than eight decades have passed since the Man of Steel first appeared and brought a new Heroic Age to full bloom. Over the years, those heroes have prospered. Many have fallen in battle, more have grown old, but their legacies have passed on to others, and their successors have made names of their own.
The legacy of Ted Knight, the first Starman, rests not only in the heroes who have taken his name, but in the technology he created: efficient anti-gravity, protective force-fields, and, most importantly, clean, safe energy. Carrying on his mantle, Starwoman leads the Justice League from their orbital Watchtower as they stand sentinel over the world.
This, however, is not a tale of the Justice League.
This is a story of Gotham.
