Superman is a black-and-silver-garbed outlaw who nightly escapes from Arkham Asylum, only to be returned to his cell by Bizarro. Supergirl is a cloistered nun; Superboy is obsessed with burgers; the Justice League of America is pretty much an amalgamation of failures, fools, and freaks; and Lois Lane is a bald corporate shark who owns most – if not all – of Metropolis. All this is a result of Joker having been endowed with Mr. Mxyzptlk’s fifth-dimensional, reality-altering powers, and he’s reshaped the world in his criminally insane image. How can the Man of Steel hope to defeat a madman with the powers of a god?

DC Comics presents, “Superman: Emperor Joker – It’s a Joker world baby, we just live in it”. In the aftermath of “Superman: Arkham,” the Man of Steel must try to restore the Justice League’s memories. Superman and Steel standalone against a horribly twisted world, but will knowing who is responsible for mangling reality give them the edge they need to assemble Green Paper Lantern, the Fish-headed Aquaman, a criminally prim Wonder Woman, and the Flab?

Story/Spoilers
In the Watchtower, Superman and Steel look on in shock at the world, reshaped in the Joker’s image. Realizing that they have to do something to save the world, the two heroes and Mr. Mxyzptlk get on a shuttle and head for the Earth. On the moon’s surface, however, Ignition has other plans. He raises a cannon, and blow the ship out of the sky. On a Metropolis street, Supergirl struggles to keep her thoughts about her, when suddenly a school of Joker piranhas attacks her. She is saved at the last moment by Superboy. She insists that they have to find Superman now. Superman wakes up to Lois’ voice amid flames. He’s in Smallville, as are Steel and Mxy. Superman demands to know what happened to his world, and Mxyzptlk proceeds to tell the story. He found Joker and offered him a small portion of power to toy with the world, but Joker tricked him into giving him almost all of his power, and then proceeded to remake the world. Superman and Steel realize that the only way they are going to win back the world is to reunite the JLA, the real JLA. In Metropolis, the four stand outside of the Hall of Jerkos!, where the JLA stays. Superman asks what has happened to his teammates, and Mxy tells him their fates. Aquaman is a fish that prohibits people from using the water, Wonder Woman a champion for woman’s rights, The Flub is the fastest fat man alive, Martian Manhunter is a dwarf who longs to destroy Earth, Plastic Man is a living credit card, and Yellow Paper Lantern makes living shadow puppets. Entering the building, Superman is assaulted by his former friends. Superman finally gets them to stop for a second, when Superboy and Supergirl bust through the roof. The ceiling begins to collapse, but Superman comes to the rescue and catches the falling debris. In space, Darkseid appeals to the quintessence. Joker has taken the Anti-Life Equation and Darkseid demands that it be given back to him. The quintessence, however, is already under the Joker’s power. Suddenly, Joker appears and soon Darkseid falls under his power. On Earth, Superman attempts to convince the JLA to join him and fight Joker. As he speaks of their commitment, something begins to happen. By the time he is done with his speech, Team Superman stands proudly in their true costumes. The JLA is still reluctant, but Diana seems to be changing. Superman realizes that there may be hope after all. In Joker’s base, Lex Luthor begins to laugh at Joker, saying that he has lost. Joker responds by shooting Lex.
