Kandor is a Kryptonian city that was miniaturised and bottled by Brainiac before Krypton exploded. When Superman located the bottle city, he brought it to The Fortress of Solitude, hoping to find a way to return the Kryptonians inside to full size. Before the Man of Steel had a chance to do this, all the inhabitants were killed by Rogol Zaar.

But when General Zod discovered Ra's Al Ghul could revive the dead using an enchanted pool called the Lazarus Pit, he stole the remains of Kandor, intending to resurrect the Kryptonians. Since the Lazarus Pit tends to drive the recently resurrected insane, Ra's didn't like the idea of thousands of crazy mini-Kryptonians rampaging around the globe.

Teaming up with Batman and Superman, Ra's headed to the Lazarus Pit in Quetzacoatl to put an end to Zod's plan. Sadly, they were too late to stop Zod hurling the Kryptonians into the pit, forcing Supes, Bats, and Ra's to battle an army of mini-Supermen.

When they were defeated, Zod prepared to kill Ra's but Batman convinced the Kryptonian general to let him go. Furious that Batman saved his life, Ra's stormed off humiliated.
