Wonder Woman
Times like these, one feels the very weight of the world upon us.
Everyone is here. (The League gathers in a large room) Our agenda is clear. What's at stake should not be underestimated.
The Decisions we make today will reverberate for years to come.
Wonder Woman
And influence whether or not the world continues to put their trust in the Justice League.
Please, take your seats. We have work to do.
Another expansion of the League could generate another escalation of hostilities from our enemies. No-one needs, or wants, another Injustice League.
Point taken, but the option remains to vote no on all candidates, so I nominate Icon for League membership.
Why? 'Cause you suspect Icon might be Kryptonian like you did with Captain Marvel?
You thought I was Kryptonian? Cool!
Wonder Woman
Icon interests me also, as does his protege, Rocket. Athena knows the League could use more Female members.
Wonder Woman
I shouldn't be surprised, since you indoctrinated Robin into crime fighting at the ripe old age of 9.
Robin needed to help bring the men who murdered his family to justice.
Wonder Woman
So he could turn out like you?
(beat) So that he wouldn't.
No. Red Arrow may be 18, but the rest of the team is too young. We're not inducting children into the League. (Captain Marvel fidgets with his collar)
That seems myopic. I have been one with Kid Flash and Aqualad. Both are ready.
Wonder Woman
And what of Zatanna?
Wonder Woman
That sounded almost protective, Doctor. At least we still know Zatara's still in that helmet somewhere.
Why is Doctor Fate a member? You coerced Zatara into giving up his life to you, or lose his only daughter instead. Not cool.
Should such behavior be condoned?
Zatara desires Doctor Fate to remain in the League.
It is true. Zatara's trust in Nabu is...measured. He desires the League to maintain a close watch upon us.
[After Lex Luthor's humiliation on Godfrey's show]
Someone should get Superman a print of that. [chuckles] He'll want to frame it!
Wonder Woman
A publicly annoyed Lex Luthor is... a minor miracle. How was it achieved?
It began with Oracle, who sorted her way through LexCorp shell companies to find the Dublin factory.
Nightwing, Aquaman, and I checked it out and discovered Lex was using it to store his weaponized Spider Bots.
So the six of us devised a plan. Oracle posted the blurred M.O.N.Q.I. image on the Outsiders' feed. I posed as the distraught Matthew Malone.
While I morphed into his missing daughter, Moira.
Wonder Woman
The Ivo drone and the M.O.N.Q.I.s.?
Those were damaged bots, salvaged from Ivo's last base by Robin, who repaired, reprogrammed, and operated them via remote control.
Wonder Woman
[concerned] To... fool the Outsiders?
Wonder Woman
But not Lex Luthor.
No. Lex will know this was a setup. But knowing and proving are two different things.
Wonder Woman
Is that your excuse? Don't any of you see how truly compromising this is?
Wonder Woman
And which side are we on? We're not simply hiding things anymore. We've gone beyond lying to our comrades and the public - now we're staging false events, creating fake news, merely to make our opponents look bad? Or the Outsiders, and by extension, the rest of us, look good? Even with the best of intentions, that is crossing a line. You must see that. You must.
