"Then fire them." "In fact, get rid of the whole division." "MERCY:" "I don't care what Luthor would've done." "I'm in charge now, and if he can't accept that I'll" "Mercy." "[MOANING]" "Help me." "I'm...." "I'm...." "Sick?" "Dying?" "And you couldn't do it somewhere else?" "After all I've done for you." "You mean letting me, a lowly chauffeur, run your company while you were away?" "Oh, was I flattered." "But then I realized, there was no one else you could trust to give it back." "Only me, your loyal dog." "Well, let me tell you something." "This dog took Lexcorp out of the hole you dug and brought up the stock 38 percent, all on her own." "So if you think I'm ever gonna let you" "[CHOKING]" "Looks like there's some life in the old suit after all." "Now, where's Professor Ivo?" "[CHOKING]" "I fired him." "You what?" "He was one of our best scientists." "How could you do that?" "Well?" "I was trying to save money." "He's probably at his place in Mountain View." "Good girl." "[GASPING FOR AIR]" "[PEOPLE SCREAMING]" "SUPERMAN:" "GL's already patrolling the city." "Hawkgirl will join him as soon as we're done." "Batman and I will follow some leads, but I just don't know if it'll be enough." "So a psychic sweep." "Of the whole city." "Is it possible?" "I've never tried anything like that before." "Once the gate is opened, it might not be so easy to close." "I realize it's a lot to ask, but Luthor" "I know." "He must be stopped." "Smart guy." "Ivo, it's Luthor." "You've got to help me." "Will you get up?" "I'm dy" "[GASPS]" "Looks like the cigarettes finally got you." "And maybe me too." "[GASPS]" "Well, what are you waiting for?" "It's not like I won't be dead soon enough anyway." "WOMAN:" "I want him to love me." "But I don't think he even likes me." "MAN:" "I wish she'd wear some vinyl." "WOMAN 2:" "I smell bad." "I just know it." "Twenty showers a day and I still can't get rid of it." "MAN 2:" "Bald." "How could anyone say I'm bald?" "I have a high forehead." "MAN 3:" "I should ask her out." "What would she want with me?" "I should try, though." "WOMAN 3:" "Rotten kids." "They don't appreciate me." "MAN 4:" "I just need a roof over my head, that's all." "And a drink." "Yeah, a drink." "WOMAN 4:" "I need to get some money." "[ALL THE PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS JUMBLE TOGETHER]" "[PANTING]" "WOMAN 5:" "I'll tell him I'm visiting my mother." "He'll never know." "MAN 5:" "I'll sue the pants off them." "WOMAN 6:" "I'll take him for everything." "MAN 6:" "I gotta get a gun." "MAN 7:" "She thinks she's so special."

"Almost like a brother." "He would've wanted me to look after you if anything ever happened to him." "So, you're going to take care of me now?" "Mm-hm." "But you're going to have to take care of me too." "Otherwise, I'll go to sleep and never wake up again." "Thank you." "Now, there's one other thing I need." "Fuel." "[security ALARM BUZZING]" "Stay back, freak." "[GUNSHOTS]" "Ah!" "[GUNSHOTS]" "[CLICK]" "[BOTH SCREAMING]" "Hold it, big boy." "HAWKGlRL:" "Ha!" "Now, what did you want this for?" "AMAZO:" "Ha!" "Didn't figure on that one, did you?" "HAWKGlRL:" "Ah!" "[MOANING]" "[GUNSHOTS]" "Well, it looks like Ivo was right on the money." "His duplication program seems to be working rather well." "I assume you ran into Hawkgirl." "AMAZO:" "Girl with wings." "Yes." "And seeing that you were able to get away with this I take it she didn't fare too well." "ls she still alive?" "Yes." "[GROANS]" "What's wrong?" "Let me tell you a story." "It's about a young man whose dream was to build a great empire." "He succeeded, but then he lost it all because of seven very bad people." "Hawkgirl and her friends, the Justice League." "The Justice League." "That young man was me, of course." "And now I have another dream." "It's to take back control of that empire." "And then, when the time comes I want to hand it down to someone who will continue my work." "The son I never had." "None of that can happen until you give the Justice League what they deserve." "He's the most deeply twisted man I've ever met." "Of course, I'll help you." "Good." "If he contacts you, let us know." "You have my word." "He hasn't already contacted you, has he?" "Don't you think I would've told you?" "The two of you were very close." "I'm a different person now." "Right." "She was too cooperative, wasn't she?" "You're learning." "I wouldn't mind hearing what she's really thinking." "[PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS JUMBLE IN his MIND]" "SUPERMAN [OVER radio]:" "J'onn, any luck yet?" "No." "Where are you?" "I can't talk now." "Are you all right?" "Leave me alone!" "Ugh!" "It was some kind of android." "It had wings built into it, and a mace too." "Scary, huh?" "Sounds like whoever made it had you in mind." "Yeah." "It even acted like me." "Now, that's scary." "The android, it's about 1 0 feet tall, gray skin?" "How'd you know?" "Ugh!" "[MOANS]" "[police SIRENS WAILING]" "Ah!" "You forgot to mention, he's as strong as I am." "He wasn't like that before." "Ah!" "[FLASH GROANING]" "HAWKGlRL:" "Ha!" "AMAZO:" "Didn't figure on that one, did you?" "HAWKGlRL:" "Ha!" "Ugh!" "[GRUNTING]" "[PHONE RINGING]" "Ugh!" "[GROANING]" "Another business call?" "She fired Ivo months ago." "And he's an MD." "Something Luthor should be needing right about now." "One more thing, Ivo's specialty is nanotechnology." "GREEN LANTERN [OVER RADIO]:" "Batman, it's Lantern." "We found Hawkgirl's robot." "Where are you?" "Don't even think about it." "Somehow, this thing's copying all our powers just by looking at us." "We can't just stay here." "That's exactly what you're gonna do." "You come here and all you'll do is make him even stronger." "Ah!" "Lantern!" "[GRUNTING]" "Argh!" "Hera, help us." "She better." "No one else can now." "[English" " US" " SDH]"
