"Not Go Gently" 

The story is set at The Green, a space station formerly known as New Oa that has been converted into an agricultural facility. 

• The Conflict: The station is attacked by a rampaging villain called the Manotaur, who uses a space shuttle with a wooden ram to breach its defenses. The Manotaur intends to destroy the station to warn the world of an impending end caused by the "Trinity" (Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman) attempting to change the past.
• Nightstar's Role: Mar'i Grayson (Nightstar) uses her inherited Tamaranean powers to defend the station. She is joined by her father, Red Robin (Dick Grayson), who helps her protect the workers and confront her personal fears.
• Resolution: After subduing the Manotaur, Nightstar reunites with her lover, Ibn al Xu'ffasch (the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul), and they are visited by Rip Hunter, leading into the broader The Kingdom event.
