[As Luthor finishes his intended android body]
Now you're perfect! A perfect, super-powerful, immortal body. A suitable place for me to spend the rest of eternity. Ironic. Years of plotting, hundreds of millions spent on Cadmus R&D projects, and none of it bore fruit. No, it's a lowly employee of LexCorp, Doctor Ivo, creator of Amazo, who we have to thank for my impending godhood.
BBatman
That was the last piece I needed.
[Luthor turns to see Batman behind him]
Got it all figured out, have you?
BBatman
When you and Atom worked together to stop the first Amazo, he showed you the blueprints, and I suspect you have a photographic memory.
BBatman
The real purpose of Cadmus was to give you superpowers.
And to ruin Superman's reputation. Imagine how sweet it will be when I save the world from the menace of the Justice League! Now when I kill Superman, they'll build statues in my honor!
[He throws a Batarang at the Amazo body, but to his shock, Luthor catches it and it explodes in his hand without harming him]
That... was uncalled for.
You are defeated. Any unique information that dwells within you will be digitized. Your physical forms will be deleted. Such is the ultimate fate of this world, but for you, the end comes now.
[Brainiac launches tentacles at the Leaguers' bodies; they scream as they are hit one by one]
I am so willing to wait my turn-- [a tentacle hits him last]
No! [phases himself free and rips the tentacles out of Brainiac]
No! I was not yet prepared for this battle. [uses the LexCorp tower to form a massive Skullship] Now I am prepared.
BBatman
That was too easy.
Easy? Then I guess I must have gone to the wrong fight.
No, he's right. Brainiac isn't here. He suckered us.
[The League has just been informed that Ace of the Royal Flush Gang has to be stopped, and is presented with a weapon to do it.]
BBatman
I'll do it, Shayera. I'm the only one of us Ace knows. She might let me get close enough to use it.
Do you understand what you're agreeing to? The only way to stop Ace for certain... is to kill her.
[Shayera is about to get onto an elevator]
Shayera, I wanted to - [doors open; sees Shayera in an evening gown] Judas Priest!
No, no, it's just, uh... I've... never seen you in a dress before.
If you want one for Vixen, I can tell you where I got it.
[Both get closer, about to kiss]
[clears throat] Listen...
[Batman gets on the elevator]
BBatman
Glad I caught you before you did something stupid.
BBatman
[on Carter Hall] Had an excellent reputation until about five years ago, when he started claiming that aliens landed in ancient Egypt.
[sarcastic] Aliens? Well, then he must be a lunatic, because we know there's no life on other planets.
BBatman
Our Mr. Hall spends quite bit of time on the Internet.
BBatman
He frequents the "I Hate Hawkgirl" bulletin boards.
That doesn't mean... "Boards"?! How many are there?!
BBatman
Fifty-seven. Web rings. Unaffiliated sites number in the hundreds-
BBatman
Hall keeps getting banned from them, for flaming the "Anti-Shayera" posters.
Carter Hall has uncovered a genuine mystery, and I think it's worth investigating.
You should take backup. [Shayera glares] I meant Batman! I- we don't want you walking into a trap.
[picking up Thanagarian dagger] I can take care of myself, thanks.
The point is you don't trust me. Either of you. [Walks to elevator] Don't wait up.
Oh right, uh, cause it's Flash Appreciation Day. Yeah, it'll be great. I understand if everybody's too busy to come, no biggie. My mom's gonna be there. Let's see, my uncle's flying in. Be great if one of the original seven made it. I mean, okay, yeah, it's the Flash Museum, but to me, the whole League deserves the honor, all of us, like I said no biggie... [sighs sorrowfully]
Six o'clock. [realizes] Nooooo... You're really coming?! Awesome! You're a stand up guy, Bats! Don't ever let them call you a crazed loner. [leaves]
[to Batman] I can't believe you let that buffoon manipulate you. You'd never catch me at one of those museum openings. [Batman glares at him] ...It's not black tie, is it?
MWMayor Waitress
For his charitable work with the city's underprivileged, his bravery during the Thanagarian crisis, and most of all, for his great help reducing crime in Central City, I proclaim this Flash Appreciation Day!
Thanks, Mayor. Thanks, folks. Wow. You've all been so great to me over the years. It really gets to me, you know? Hope I always make you guys proud. Um, that's all. How's it going? Nice slacks. Thanks. Hey, Mrs. Green. I didn't forget about painting your fence Saturday. Once I get started, it won't take very long. Tom, are we still on for mini-golf Sunday? Oh, don't jump. Mover rings! Clear the area! That should do it. Duh.
Good day, mate. Captain Boomerang here. Seems the Mirror Master wasn't up to the task. Now it's my shot. I'm going to kill you, Ugly Flash, and I want you to see it coming.
[Flash is tied to a giant rocket-powered boomerang]
[To Captain Boomerang] I swear, when I get outta this, I'm gonna find you and hurl all over you!
Touch of dizziness. You might find it useful to fix on one point on the horizon. For instance, that mountain you're set to crash into.
You're tied to a very large boomerang.
Yeah? What are you guys doing here? The thing isn't for another hour.
Someone means to kill you.
BBatman
Waller told me that Boomerang left Task Force X. So I did some checking. Three other super-criminals from Central City are off the radar.
Hey, Mirror Master took a shot at me too.
BBatman
Here's what we're going to do.
Listen, I need to go home and change before the opening tonight.
BBatman
We're coming with you.
You really don't have to.
BBatman
We're coming. With you.
[Sighs] Okay! You guys are so slow!
BBatman
All clear on my end. And I've removed every mirrored surface in the entire museum.
To enter the building, they'd have to come through us. They'd be stupid to try. [about Flash] Central City builds statues to this fool who makes bad jokes. Who concerns himself with pitiful men like the Trickster. I don't understand.
LPLinda Park
Flash, hi. Over here. Evening news.
LPLinda Park
I'm going live again in about 50 seconds. Can I get a few words from you then?
LPLinda Park
Super. And, uh, here. Oh, uh, thanks.
RReporter
Thirty seconds, Linda.
LPLinda Park
Okay, let me touch up.
If we aren't taking turns, let's at least see who hurts him the worst.
Better you than me. Oh, Boomer. Not the Turtle Man display.
Argh! Hey, been lookin' for that.
You are so cleaning this place up.
Make me. Or rather, find me.
LPLinda Park
Time out, time out.
LPLinda Park
Oof! Ugh! I've never seen so many stars. Are we dead?
Those aren't stars. They're millions and millions of mirrors. We're trapped in another dimension. You mind if I carry you?
LPLinda Park
Please. Did it work?
Kinda. We know that isn't the mirror that takes us out of here.
LPLinda Park
We have to try them one at a time? That could take years, even for you.
He's gone. Lost forever in a mirror. Time to seek the nearest exit.
That's it? I was all set to crack some bones.
Let's make sure this one don't get up again.
LPLinda Park
Flash, look.
This'll make my rep forever.
Gentlemen. Are you sure that's all of the pieces? I demand a full accounting. Where's my lawyer? I know my rights, you obscene caricature of a civil servant!
So don't worry, we took care of the bad guys, and everything's okay now.
LPLinda Park
Flash, what about the new museum? It got destroyed in the battle, and it was our biggest shrine to you. And you're our greatest hero, our greatest hope.
Well, at least I got to be on TV. And you know how much I like that.
Now I understand. You play the fool to hide a warrior's pain.
Dude. Bad guys went down, and no one got hurt. You know what I call that? A really good day.
Well, I’m sort of missing Flash’s obligatory joke about how Grodd made a monkey out of us.
Just couldn’t let it go unsaid.
DDeadman
That's it, guys. Yuk it up. You saved the world, but I failed. Everyone in Nanda Parbat is gone-- forever.
SSolovar
We're in your debt again, Justice League.
If only Luthor and Grodd hadn't gotten away.
SSolovar
If it's any consolation, we've picked up nearly a dozen of his super-powered cronies-- with more to come, I'm sure.
[Devil Ray groans]
[Devil Ray screaming]
BBatman
No. I didn't mean.
[Batman grunting]
Bruce, Deadman took over your body. It wasn't your fault.
DDeadman
Let me explain. He would have shot her. I didn't have a choice.
RKRama Kushna
Boston Brand, your actions have led to the death of another.
DDeadman
I'm sorry. I-- I didn't mean to--
RKRama Kushna
Intentions are immaterial. You were gifted with power to be used to balance the scales of karma. Because of your actions, the scale now is unbalanced.
DDeadman
Unbalanced? Thanks to Devil Ray and his team, the master and all the other monks are dead.
RKRama Kushna
Incorrect. When the heart was shattered, the essences of the monks were set free. Even now their souls return to their rightful places.
MThe Master
No one dies in Nanda Parbat. But the scales are unbalanced. Your work in this world is not yet done.
[After Gorilla Grodd's plan has failed]
Since there's only one monkey left around here, I'm assuming that the Justice League found a way to stop the carrier wave.
There's more than one way to peel a banana. Next time--
I wasn't going to do this for another couple of weeks, but seriously... [rises from table and draws a gun] Turning all of humanity into apes? [aims weapon at Grodd] That was your master plan?! [Shoots Grodd, then turns to the other villains] Listen up! From now on, I'm in charge of this operation. Anybody got a problem with that?
[No one challenges him; Tala sidles up to him]
No problem at all... baby.
Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that I believe a single word of your story. How did you survive the explosion?
By the skin of my teeth. But stranded more than a power ring's charge from home, we found ourselves dependent on the kindness of strangers. A resident of the nearby planet, New Genesis, drawn by our ship's explosion, offered his help. We accepted, of course.
You've got some nerve coming to us for help.
Darkseid took Brainiac away from me. I can't hear his voice in my head anymore!
Enough of the crazy talk, Lex. Darkseid said he was coming to Earth to destroy it. You guys are supposed to keep that from happening.
We'll do just that, lady. Thanks for the heads up.
You're all going into holding cells.
You think so? Ain't no way we're giving up without a...
TMr. Terrific
Watchtower to Metro Tower. We've got a situation.
What's going on up there?
Multiple hyperspatial incursions. But they're planetside. I'm sending telemetry.
He's right. Can you hear it? Like thunder.
Attention all Justice League personnel, this is an omega-level threat.
BDBlue Devil
Get to the Javelins.
No time. All members prepare for emergency teleport. Send us first. Give the others a chance to get their pants on.
TMr. Terrific
You got it.
Okay, let's get these people locked up. Sounds like we've got a fight on our hands.
If you think you're locking us up while the whole world's under attack, you've got two fights on your hands.
BBatman
She's got a point. We'll need all the bodies we can throw at this.
Oh, come on! It's Lex flippin' Luthor! Why should we trust him?!
Let's be clear about this. We're not here to help you save the world. You're here to help me get revenge on Darkseid. When this is over, it's back to business as usual.
[glares at Lex] Wouldn't have it any other way.
