Superman/Batman: Apocalypse

A fragment of the kryptonite asteroid destroyed in an earlier mission falls into Gotham Harbor, and when Batman investigates the wreckage he finds someone trying to steal his boat. The thief turns out to be a teenage girl with powers resembling Superman's, speaking a language no one recognizes. Superman steps in to calm her, and once she is brought to the Batcave the heroes learn she is Kara Zor-El, a Kryptonian and Superman's cousin. Her arrival draws the attention of Darkseid, the ruler of Apokolips, who wants to use her for his own purposes, forcing Batman and Superman to combine their efforts again.
