Summary from the Back Cover

THE FUTURE ENDS HERE!

Five years from now, the world of tomorrow is about to be torn. Brainiac has arrived from the stars, and he intends New York City with him as a souvenir. It's enough to bring Superman out of self-imposed exile... but not even the Man of Steel or his former teammates on the Justice League may be enough to stop the alien conqueror.

Only Batman and Mr. Terrific's creation, the artificially intelligent satellite Brother Eye, stands a chance to defeat Brainaic. But this is the moment that Batman Beyond has traveled back in time to stop - the moment where his terrible future is born.

Can Batman Beyond, Stormwatch, the Justice League Dark, Firestorm and others stop both Brainiac and Brother Eye? Or will the future die along with them?

It all leads up to this, as some of comics greatest talents, including JEFF LEMORE (JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA), BRIAN AZARELLO (WONDER WOMAN), DAN JURGENS (THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN) and KEITH GIFFEN (JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000) and artists like PATRICK ZIRCHER (THE FLASH) redefine the future of DC Universe. Collects #31-48

"Dan DiDio Reveals Secrets of DC Comics' "Convergence"" (Watch on YouTube)

"Here, we're not only telling a story that not only touches upon every character and every generation of hero, but brings them all together in one story, one event," says DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio in the newly released trailer for DC's soon-to-debut "Convergence" event. "There was a great expression from 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' -- 'Worlds live, worlds die and nothing will ever be the same.' Well, here in 'Convergence,' we're gonna follow the worlds that died."
