The Daily Planet recently received a correspondence from someone claiming to be Apocalypto, the vicious leader of The Legion of Sin. This "manifesto" seems to outline (in a rambling, maniacal fashion) some of the villain's motivations and his way-of-thinking. It also mentions several hero groups that may be future targets.

As always, we'll report more details of this story as they become available.

Did they know that he was nearly completely healed, did they understand his spirit, his power, no…they only thought they knew. He heard the voice of Superman a moment ago; his voice had resonance of concern, and he was not alone, Flame Man was with him.

Dream Team thwarts EMP Terrorist

During the early hours of yesterday, a former S.T.A.R Labs scientist turned terrorist held Gotham for ransom demanding 10 million dollars or he would detonate an EMP Device that would destroy every electrical device within 4 miles of downtown. During a tense three-hour long negotiation, Dream Team sprung into action and located the terrorist at his hidden location (which was reportedly near the Batcave) disabled the device and quickly put down the small team of commandos that protected him. The Dream Team strikeforce consisted of Foresight, Eliphaz, Coldfists, Death God, BurningFlash, RockToonz, Kid Kadabra, and Royaltee.

At press time Dream Team was still being debriefed by authorities. We will reach out to them for comments as more information becomes available.
