DCeased Part1

While fighting the Justice League, Darkseid kidnaps Cyborg and attempts to extract half of the Anti-Life Equation from his body. In the process, the Equation is corrupted and becomes a techno-organic virus that transforms those infected by it into zombie-like monsters known as the Anti-Living. The virus infects Darkseid, causing him to destroy Apokolips. DeSaad returns Cyborg to Earth, where the virus spreads to the internet, infecting hundreds of millions of people instantly. Superman flies to his apartment and rescues his wife Lois Lane, his son Jon Kent, and Damian Wayne from being infected. In his Batcave, Batman is observing the chaos consuming Gotham through backup analog systems. The Batcomputer informs him that 600 million people have been infected, and that it would only take the virus a few days to corrupt every device connected to the Internet. After discovering that Wayne Manor is still connected to the Internet, Batman activates an emergency EMP before locating Alfred Pennyworth, Nightwing, and Tim Drake, discovering that the latter two have been infected. Batman holds the two off so Alfred can escape, but is infected in the process.
