Randolph took to Twitter to reveal a major plot point, stating that a conflict is unfolding in the Middle East. While Superman aims to resolve the situation particularly, other superhero counterparts hold differing opinions. In Legacy, the character of Lex Luthor takes charge once again, leading negotiations in an effort to restore peace. The Authority might not serve as the main villains.

In dispelling The Authority rumors, Randolph clarified that The Authority is more akin to a team like the Justice Society of America (JSA). Adding to the excitement, she hinted that it might indeed be the JSA involved, providing significant plot insights for fans of Superman. However, confusion still lingers regarding their exact involvement and connections.
