Chu Men captured Constantine and bound him to the One God Temple with a magical contract, while Zatanna and Madame Xanadu lost contact with Bruce. With Earth facing Chu Men’s overwhelming power, Bruce ordered Alfred to open Lead Box Number Seven and prepared to connect his damaged nervous system to Kryptonian technology.
