[edit] Story
In the present day of 1999, Sarah Connor and John Connor, who have been fleeing from time-traveling Terminators for decades, come upon the city of Metropolis. Skynet has taken control of the world in the distant future of 2032 AD, and hope to kill the young John Connor by sending Terminators to the present.
While walking in a Metropolis shopping mall, Sarah and John are attacked by a T-800 Terminator that emerges from a time portal and immediately begins destroying everything in sight. Superman spots the destruction while patroling the city, and manages to subdue the killer robot. Eventually, Superman discovers that John Connor is destined to lead a resistance against Skynet, hence the reason for the attempted assassinations by Terminator cyborgs.
Superman is taken through a time portal to the future world of 2032, where he meets an aged Steel and John Connor. Superman promises to aid the two men in bringing down Skynet. Meanwhile, back in 1999, Lois Lane, Sara Connor, Supergirl, and Superboy fight off Terminators.
The robotic villian Cyborg makes an appearance, as does Lex Luthor, who had invested and supported Skynet back in 1999.
