Ha! The exact second the movie's over, we get a mission. Dang if that ain't lucky!
I still say this Clint Eastwood dishonored himself when he refused to - what was it? "Play by the rules"?
Partner, your medieval upbringing has done left ya' unschooled in the ways of the movin' picture.
No, his proper duty is to his police captain. I see why they call him "dirty." He besmirches his order.
Sir Justin, if you're gonna be watchin' stuff on my big TV with the 5.1 surround sound, you had best watch what you say about Mr. Clint Eastwood.
Half of our resources are in deep space. We're short-handed.
STS.T.R.I.P.E.
Right. I'll take a real assignment over Watchtower duty any day.
Green Arrow
So who's left up here with you? The Ray?
He's with Vixen, checking out an explosion in the Aleutians. Flash and Supergirl aren't finished in Madagascar.
Green Arrow
You're spreading us a little thin.
We go where we're needed, Green Arrow. Did you second guess the Martian like this?
Green Arrow
Sorry, my bad. You're the big-picture guy.
I've got it all worked out. There's just this one mission in Metropolis. I need you people to fill in for Superman.
RWRick Wilson
Welcome back to the Daily Planet and Hubell's Department Stores' 87th Annual Metro Merchants Parade. I'm Rick Wilson.
KOKaitlin O'Shaughnessy-Ruiz
And I'm Kaitlin O'Shaughnessy-Ruiz. And who's passing the reviewing stand now but the Veterans Legion honor guard followed by the Madison High School marching band.
RWRick Wilson
Yes, and just look who's coming next. An old, dear friend. It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman.
KOKaitlin O'Shaughnessy-Ruiz
That's right, Rick. Superman is held by officers from the police department's 19th precinct. And next up, more heroes. Some of the brave policemen, firefighters and emergency workers who serve Metropolis every day.
RWRick Wilson
And riding with them, well, the actual Superman can't be here today but he sent along some of his Justice League cohorts.
So, what? Since we don't have superpowers it takes five of us to replace one Superman?
PPolice officer
Excuse me. I just want to thank you Justice League guys for turning out in force. It means a lot to us.
Green Arrow
Hey, we can't thank you enough. You're the real heroes.
It's you the people come to honor.
Green Arrow
See where it says "Heroes one and all"? That's what it's all about. The crowd doesn't care who can bench press a mountain, or shoot lasers out of their ears.
OOld lady
Where's Superman?
MMan
How come none of the good ones are here?
K2Kid #2
I didn't come here to see some stupid cowboy!
M2Man #2
I don't think vigilantes are good role models, especially ones with guns!
WWoman
I came to see Superman!
[the now-superpowered General Eiling crashes the Metropolis parade]
General Eiling, sir. What brings you back to Cadmus?
Just came to collect something I left behind.
I want you men posted at the entrance to this wing. Nobody in or out.
ADr. Anderson
General, what are you doing?
Hello, Dr. Anderson. I left my reading glasses in the bio vault and can't seem to get back in.
ADr. Anderson
That code was changed six months ago. You're not authorized.
ADr. Anderson
General, no. That serum's unstable.
ADr. Anderson
So you know about the horrible disfigurations. The test animals...
ADr. Anderson
Shoot to kill. Now. While you still can.
Green Arrow
Busy. Can I help you?
Yeah. Hold this for me! [hurls a cart at Green Arrow]
[Breaking into the Fatal Five's HQ]
Green Arrow
I know. I was hoping they'd be out looking for us.
B5Brainiac 5
No, shoot! [Green Arrow shoots an arrow at the Fatal Five catches Brainiac 5 in mid-air]
Green Arrow
Shoot. I know. I was hoping they'd be out looking for us.
EPEmerald Princess
Obliterate them.
Green Arrow
Okay, big guy, that's as far as you go.
TTharok
You can't stop Validus with that toy.
Green Arrow
Rusty, I got him right where I want him.
Kara. I knew what I was doing, but I couldn't stop.
PGPhantom Girl
Where are we?
BBBouncing Boy
Last thing I remember was... Oh, no.
Green Arrow
Just so you know, the sharp part's on the other end, chief.
PPersuader
Believe me, that's coming.
EPEmerald Princess
Tear him to bits. Slowly.
PGPhantom Girl
We wanted to say thanks by making you honorary legionnaires.
It's very nice, but I already have a ring.
BBBouncing Boy
Don't worry about it, GL. You can't keep it anyway. If you took it home, the future technology could pollute the time stream.
I'm keeping mine. I'm not going back. Kara? History says Supergirl never returned from this mission because she decided to stay in the future.
Whatever abducted them didn't leave any energy signature. Maybe Dr. Fate or Zatanna? Where's Kara?
She asked us to give you this.
Tell Ma and Pa I love them. And I love you too, Clark. Don't take this the wrong way, but I've found a place where I can make a difference. Where I'm more than just Superman's kid cousin. I... I feel I belong here. Also, I met this boy.
Green Arrow
You should have seen her. She was amazing.
She's a grown woman now, capable of choosing--
Kara's headstrong, but she's always made good decisions. I trust her judgment. But you were right, Ollie. I wish I had told her.
Green Arrow
It's okay, Clark. She knows.
Now, this boy Kara likes so much, does he have a name?
[nervous looks from Green Lantern and Green Arrow]
