Summoned separately by unknown forces, Ra’s al Ghul and Lex Luthor arrive at the Great Ruins. Both find the ancient tomb distasteful, yet they enter warily, if only to discover who brought them to that place. Within, they find Circe standing before what appear to be Lazarus Pits. The mythical sorceress explains, however, that they are Pandora Pits instead.
When the legendary Pandora opened the box that set evil loose in the world, some of the malevolent forces found humanity’s innocence horrifying and fled into the pits Circe has discovered. There, the pernicious power has percolated, waiting to be tamed and put to nefarious uses. The Pandora Pits put together a patchwork conflation of the three villains’ weaknesses, which takes a form combining elements of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Banding together, Ra’s, Lex, and Circe defeat the creature and gain control of the pits. When Luthor proposes to destroy the dangerous power source, Circe reveals a secret that suggests the choice might not belong to them.
