Synopsis:

The final battle for Metropolis awaits. Lex Luthor has been exposed for his crimes by a key ally's betrayal and Lois Lane is finally clearing her name. But Luthor won't go down without a fight, and even with the help of Supergirl and Superboy, there may be no way for Superman to save his beloved Metropolis. Meanwhile, Lana Lang marries Pete Ross back in Smallville.
