BIBatman II
We need to get out of here.
GGhoul
Leaving so soon? You didn't even take any party favors.
Incoming! That's not gonna hold.
CChuckoo
Where do you think you're going, sugar?
DDDee Dee
Look, Dee Dee, another Green Lantern. He's much cuter than the last one we killed, don't you think, Dee Dee?
[Woof laughing]
[Warhawk screaming]
BBonk
Hold still so I can pound you.
SStatic
Yeah, that's what I'll do.
[Batman II screaming]
DDDee Dee
Hey! What's the big idea? You shouldn't ought to have done that.
We're getting out of here now. Not a chance. Hold the line.
Wonder Woman
He's right. We're the Justice League. We don't run from a fight.
BIBatman II
I don't remember putting this up for a vote.
Keep your head in the game. There's always a way. Virgil! I need some cover.
DDDee Dee
They're gone, Dee Dee. Bet I know which way they went, Dee Dee.
Wonder Woman
Where are we headed? The Watchtower?
This is Justice League headquarters?
SStatic
For now. We're all that's left of the League.
BIBatman II
You've traveled about fifteen years into your future.
Last time I saw you, you were too young to drive. You look good for a man your age.
SStatic
The miracles of modern medicine. Sixty-five is the new thirty.
And the Watchtower? :Batman II: It's gone. We lost a lot of good people that day.
Wonder Woman
You mean, Superman, J'onn, all the others? :Warhawk: Yeah. You too.
And the bat cave? :Old Bruce Wayne: This is all we have left now. Deal with it. Surprised to see me?
A little. I'm more surprised that I lived so long.
BIBatman II
Batman, Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne, Batman. Or have you met?
BOBatman and Old Bruce Wayne
[in unison] Not now.
BIBatman II
Great. What did they used to call it? Stereo?
This is a little weird for everybody. I'm Warhawk. Rex Stewart.
Kind of obvious, don't you think?
Even if it isn't, leave it be. You don't wanna know too much about your future.
BIBatman II
Trust me, you really don't.
[Superman and Wonder Woman step into the infirmary to visit Batman, recovering after stopping the San Baquero missile]
Wonder Woman
[Joking] You'll do anything to avoid monitor duty...
Sent him [Doomsday] off to the Phantom Zone, didn't you?
Spoken like a true Justice Lord...
[Offended] What!? Come on!
Passing judgment like gods... With our super-powered army and our orbiting death ray... Cadmus is right to be scared - the human race wouldn't stand a chance...
We'd never go there! It isn't in our nature and nothing can change that!
Nothing? What if Luthor does become President, like he did in their world? What would stop you from doing what that Superman did!?
There's always that Kryptonite you carry around...
You don't get to joke! Not today! [Points at him] I just took a bullet for you!
I'm sorry, Bruce. You're right. But you don't have to worry about the Justice League. Trust me. You know me.
Wonder Woman
This was a great idea, Wally. I can't remember the last time we've had a chance to catch up.
Mostly my fault. I've been pretty busy in Central City.
Wonder Woman
I wanna hear all about it. I saw some of it on the news, but it's not the same a--
I'm sorry. I thought we were having dinner tonight.
Is it Tuesday? Silly me. Making dinner plans with two beautiful women on the same night.
Wonder Woman
Uh-huh.
We can do this another time.
Don't be ridiculous. We can all have a meal together. It's a chance for us to get reacquainted, patch things up.
Wonder Woman
Assuming we want to.
Now, there's an example of exactly the kind of thing we're not gonna do anymore, right? I'm telling you, once we clear the air, everybody's gonna be pals again. I always thought the reason you two don't get along is that you're so much alike.
SHShayera Hol and Wonder Woman
[in unison] Like her?
You weren't gonna eat that, were you? You guys aren't even trying. You could at least talk to each other.
Wonder Woman
It's the sauce.
This isn't gonna work, is it?
Wonder Woman
Not a chance.
Hey! Where you going? Come on. I had dinner with two women at the same time. 'Cause I'm a stud.
Etrigan, calm yourself. Let me help you.
EEtrigan
[screaming, shifting between demon and human forms] The gates of Tartarus swing both ways! AARGH! The balance tilts towards chaos! Usurper! Fiend!
Wonder Woman
What's happening here?
I don't know. Suddenly all of our members with magical powers-- Well, you can see.
[speaking backwards] Lleh fo enorht eht no stis tsuaf! Tsol si lla! ["All is lost! Faust sits on the throne of Hell!"]
Wonder Woman
They're in agony. What can we do?
I'm researching. As soon as I learn something, I'll let you know.
Wonder Woman
Flash!
HHermes
No, it's the original speedster. Hey, Diana. I let myself in.
Wonder Woman
Hermes. How may I serve the messenger of the gods?
HHermes
Don't be so formal, Diana. You're practically a member of the family. Not that this is a social visit. I've got something for you, here, it's pretty important. Zeus paid for overnight service. Here it is. [Hands her a scroll]
Wonder Woman
[reading] "For a good time, call Podenemus"...?
HHermes
[Grabs the scroll] Wha-uh-, heh-heh... Wrong scroll. Hm. I think I got a shot, it's her cell number... Here we go. [reads] "By decree of Zeus, father of Olympus, it is so ordered: Diana of Themyscira will travel to Tartarus and set right that what has been disturbed."
Wonder Woman
He's telling me to go to--
HHermes
Basically. Felix Faust is on the loose again.
Wonder Woman
Felix Faust is dead.
HHermes
Yes, and pretty upset about it, too. His spirit possessed a powerful weapon called the Annihilator, then headed straight for the gates of Tartarus. I mean, straight for it. The Amazons did their best to stop him. They're good, but they were out of their weight class. Once inside, he went looking for Hades, the master of Tartarus. Guess Faust is still torqued. Hades messed him over pretty good a few years back.
Wonder Woman
I was there.
HHermes
And you'll be there this time. You must defeat Faust and restore Hades to the throne of Tartarus.
Wonder Woman
So far as I'm concerned they deserve each other. Why should I care about this?
HHermes
You mean, other than the direct-order-from-the-gods thing? Because, you know, there must always be balance between chaos and order. When there isn't-- You've been to the infirmary already, right?
Wonder Woman
My friends--
HHermes
Need you to do the right thing. They're in good hands, Diana. Yours.
Wonder Woman
Shayera? Security override. User code 003.
CComputer
User identity Wonder Woman. Confirmed.
Wonder Woman
Unlock this door.
Something I can help you with?
Wonder Woman
Look, I need it. I'll bring it back.
[walking in on Wonder Woman taking her mace] We become pals while I wasn't looking?
Wonder Woman
There's trouble on Themyscira. Mystical trouble. Your mace disrupts magic. I thought--
Whatever's happening on that island of yours must be pretty bad for you to resort to this.
Wonder Woman
Life and death. Can I have it?
Uh-uh. It's a package deal. You want the mace, you get me too.
HHipollyta
Drive them back, sisters. Diana. You know you're not supposed to set foot on this island. The gods have decreed that--
The gods are decreeing stuff all the time around here. Ma'am.
Wonder Woman
I have to go into Tartarus and stop all of this.
HHipollyta
I won't allow it.
Wonder Woman
Neither of us has any choice in the matter, Mother.
HHipollyta
Wait. If you are to attempt such a feat, you must have access to your full power. Because you stole your armor and lance, so you were never told of all the powers they possess. When the time comes, you'll know everything you need to know. Bring my daughter back to me.
Nothing to worry about. She's almost as good at kicking butt as I am.
Wonder Woman
You okay?
Yeah. Didn't think I'd need a jacket where we were going. Aren't you cold in that outfit?
Wonder Woman
Not really.
Of course not. The princess doesn't get cold. The princess doesn't even sweat in the fire pits of Tartarus.
Wonder Woman
I do too sweat.
Please, you glow. I wouldn't be surprised if you never have to -
[In the distance, Hades screams]
Wonder Woman
Turn yourself over into U.S. custody, along with the rest of us.
Yeah, that makes sense, okay.
Meet us at the coordinates I’m sending first. We should all go over together.
This is the single dumbest plan I’ve ever heard. If you’re feeling guilty, clear your own name. Don’t stand on the sidelines waiting for somebody else to do it.
Wonder Woman
We’ve already voted. Five in favor.
Wonder Woman
You have to come with us, Bruce.
I don’t have to do anything. I’m a part-timer, remember? [Hangs up]
Wonder Woman
Actually, he took it a lot better than I’d expected.
Wonder Woman
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.
Wonder Woman
Obligatory.
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]
[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.
