Batman, Superman, and other heroes of the DC comics world join forces to save Gotham City from a plague of birds. It turns out the flying creatures are being controlled by the archvillain Penguin. Though the superheroes are reduced to shadows of their comic-book selves, readers may find some suspense in the story's setup and triumphant conclusion ("Teamwork saves the day!").
