Story Mode
After Darkseid was defeated by Superman, Lex Luthor was arrested shortly after by the Man of Steel as being one of Darkseid's accomplices. As Luthor was arrested, Darkseid attempted to escape through a boom tube, but with no prevail, as Superman blasted him with his Heat Vision, causing Darkseid and Shao Kahn (who was just blasted by Raiden at the same time) to merge and form Dark Kahn.
Shortly after, the Justice League turned their attention to the potential uprising of Darkseid as "invaders" (Mortal Kombat characters) start showing up. Meanwhile, Luthor somehow escapes from prison and leads a small group of villains, consisting of Catwoman, Joker, and Deathstroke.
Eventually, as Darkseid's uprising grows, Luthor's posse is forced to join forces with the Justice League. They eventually succeed in defeating Darkseid's "Forces" (Mortal Kombat Characters) and defeat Darkseid, who was merged with Shao Kahn.
