"We have all been wronged by the same man." "We have." "We have." "We all seek the same redress." "We do." "We do." "We agree to work together" "To achieve our ultimate goal." "We will." "We will." "Speak your names." "Toyman." "Livewire." "Weather Wizard." "Kalibar." "Metallo." "Speak the word and seal the pact." "Together:" "Revenge." "[sirens]" "You said he'd come." "A matter of time." "He's unaccountably fond of this dump." "The cops seem fond of it, too." "Toyman, isn't that thing ready yet?" "Toyman:" "Just finishing up." "Everybody down!" "[shouting]" "Nice." "I'm sensing something's moving" "Through the local air mass, heading this way fast." "The rat's taken the cheese." "You ready, Toyman?" "You bet." "This will be fun." "Uh-oh." "Wrong rat." "Watch out for iron giant." "Those darts are no joke." "Xxx:" "Copy that." "I'm only a few minutes away." "Be careful." "This is obviously an ambush." "Livewire:" "Those guys travel in bunches." "Maybe we should call this off." "Excellent advice." "Aah!" "Grr!" "Oh!" "Incoming!" "Windy." "I gathered." "There are so many reasons" "Why that shouldn't have worked." "Our next priority is to get rid of Metallo." "I got an idea." "Hang on." "J'onn, make yourself scarce." "Aah!" "Looks like Supes is gonna miss the party." "Give us some more cover." "The Amazon's mine." "[screaming]" "Maybe you should get a strap for this." "That all you got?" "Not quite." "Impressive, little man." "If you stand down right now," "I'll let you live to tell the story." "I just flattened Wonder Woman." "You really think you can beat me?" "I'm not trying to beat you." "I'm trying to stall you." "Stall me?" "For what?" "Ah..." "Ooh!" "For what it's worth, I don't think" "You could have taken Batman, either." "Rain, rain, go away." "Little Johnny wants to play." "[machine whirring]" "Give it up, Toyman." "You'll never hit me with that thing." "Maybe not, but what about your friends?" "No!" "Aah!" "Superman go bye-bye." "Stay back." "It's full of acid." "Aah!" "Do I look like I'm playing games?" "What are you gonna do to me?" "I'm gonna punch a hole in your head." "We don't do that to our enemies." "Speak for yourself." "I'm trying to speak for Superman." "This is Snapper Carr, returning to our continuing coverage of the death of Superman." "I'm here at first Metropolis cathedral," "Where just hours from now, services will be held for the world's greatest hero." "In addition to friends, colleagues, and loved ones," "Heads of state from over 400 countries" "Are expected to attend today." "In the streets of Metropolis, as in cities all over the world," "Thousands have gathered" "To pay their last respects to the Man of Steel." "Our all-day live coverage will conclude following Superman's ceremonial interment later this evening." "Afterwards, our panel of commentators and pundits" "Will debate the question on everyone's lips" "Without Superman, can there be a Justice League?" "Our coverage of the death of Superman will continue." "I must admit..." "I'm also concerned about the League's future." "I never expected to hear" "That kind of talk from you, J'onn." "How many battles did we win" "Simply because he was there?" "Yeah." "I used to be able to goof around so much" "Because I knew Superman had my back." "Now all I've got is his example," "And that's gonna have to be enough." "What is it, Alfred?" "I'm afraid it's time, master Bruce." "I'm not going to the funeral." "Why?" "Because he's not dead." "What tipped me off was the lack of evidence." "Sir?" "I brought all this from the crime scene," "And I've examined it every way I know how." "And you found?" "Absolutely nothing." "No scorching, no residue, no radiation." "Objects were here, then they were gone." "I'm afraid I don't understand." "Matter can't be created or destroyed," "Just changed from one form into another." "As you say, sir." "I believe I heard something about that" "When I attended grammar school." "So, unless the law of conservation of mass has been repealed," "There's still hope." "That's..." "wonderful news, master Bruce." "Nevertheless, don't you think" "You should make an appearance?" "What for?" "I've got work to do." "Batman hasn't arrived." "Have you spoken with him?" "He's still not answering calls." "He doesn't handle loss very well." "[excited murmuring]" "Is that him now?" "I can't see." "I can." "Luthor, how dare you show your face here?" "Lois, I" "You've come to gloat." "You've tried to get rid of him for years." "Are you happy now?" "Isn't this what you've always wanted?" "I hate you!" "I hate you!" "[sobbing]" "Believe it or not, I'm going to miss him, too." "J'onn:" "Though we gather here today," "Bound together in sorrow and loss," "We share a precious gift." "We are all of us privileged to live a life" "That has been touched by Superman." "The Man of Steel possessed many extraordinary gifts," "And he shared them with us freely." "None of these gifts were more remarkable" "Than his ability to discern what needed to be done" "And his unfailing courage in doing it," "Whatever the personal cost." "Let us all strive to accept his gift and pass it along," "As an ongoing tribute to Kal-El of krypton," "The immigrant from the stars" "Who taught us all how to be heroes." "[laughter]" "And Superman holds the grenade in his hands like this." "So it blows, and he doesn't even move." "And I say, "are you all right?"" "And he says" "This is the best part." "He says, "fine." "And you?"" "[laughter]" "To Superman." "Together:" "To Superman." "Perhaps this isn't the best time," "But we need to consider replenishing our forces." "A new member?" "Who?" "Aquaman maybe?" "Metamorpho." "Is Supergirl old enough?" "Before we look outside, we should start with family." "Batman, this is Diana." "Go ahead." "We're discussing the future of the Justice League." "We're hoping you'll make it official" "And become a full-time member." "I'm busy." "Batman out." "Yeah, Aquaman could definitely pick up" "Batman's slack in the pompous jerk department." "He's grieving." "Give him time." "What's with all the long faces, justice dweebs?" "It's like a wake in here." "Lighten up." "The answer to all your problems has arrived." "Since we're going to be working together, you can call me Lobo." "You are not welcome here." "This is a private gathering." "Yeah, yeah." "Superman kicked the bucket." "That's why I'm here." "I don't know you, but I'm pretty sure I don't like you." "Good instinct." "His name's Lobo." "He's a lowlife bounty hunter." "The main man happens to be" "The best bounty hunter in the known universe." "You could ask Superman," "If he weren't busy pushing up daisies." "Hey, don't talk about him like that." "Superman was our friend." "Mine, too." "I saved his life once, you know." "That's not how he told the story." "Whatever." "The point is, Superman bit the big one," "And the main man's here to take his place." "You're no Superman." "The ladies say different." "Stay down." "On the contrary," "Get up and leave." "The Justice League" "Does not require your services" "At this or any other time." "Now I get it." "You clowns don't think" "The main man is tough enough" "To join your little girl scout troop." "Easy mistake to fix." "You want an audition?" "Come on, ladies." "Let's dance." "[faint beeping]" "Another dead-end." "I'm beginning to wonder if I might be wrong." "I've got some things to say." "I should have said them when you were here, but..." "Despite our differences," "I have nothing but respect for you." "I hope you knew..." "Know that." "You showed me that justice" "Doesn't always have to come from the darkness." "I'll miss-- [distant explosions]" "What did you always call it, Clark?" ""the never-ending battle"?" "[woman screaming]" "This is hopeless." "We may as well" "Be throwing candy corn at them." "So, what do you want to do" "Give them the city?" "You think your pitiful human prison can hold me?" "This looks like a job for Superman," "But I don't think he's coming." "Heh heh heh!" "Hyah!" "Yah!" "Aah!" "Uh... [distant sirens]" "Too bad." "He was kind of cute." "Come on, Green Longjohns." "Let me out of here" "So I can go upside your head." "[whistles] [engine revving]" "Remember to look both ways before you cross me." "Huh?" "You talk too much." "Oh..." "You want to settle down now?" "Please say no." "[whistles]" "I got it." "Whoo-hoo!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ooh!" "Ah!" "All right, that's it!" "Flash:" "I'm ok!" "All right, already." "I guess I'll let" "You all stay on the team with me," "But I'm the leader." "Ow!" "The Justice League is about more than physical power." "It's about ideals, caring, helping." "Buy me a ticket to Pukesville." "All right, all right." "Say what you want," "But the Justice League needs the main man." "Green Lantern:" "He might be right." "Reporter on screen:" "Metropolis is under siege." "Following a mass jailbreak," "Dozens of supervillains are running amok downtown," "Apparently in celebration of the recent loss of" "Lobo:" "You ain't gonna be sorry you brought the main man." "Right." "Like we were going to" "Leave you alone in the Watchtower." "But long as I'm here," "I get to bust heads." "You will do precisely as we instruct" "No more, no less." "Sure thing." "Finders keepers on any bounties, right?" "You need to be quiet now." "Get your own money." "There's plenty." "Guess that was a little too much to hope for." "[screaming]" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Uh!" "Lobo:" "Hey, hat hair!" "Want a piece of me?" "Wuss." "[groaning]" "I'm gonna grind you into paste." "Awful brave talk for a dead man." "I'm not dead yet." "You're right." "My watch is about 10 seconds fast." "[groaning]" "Uh!" "Uh!" "Aah!" "Does that account for everyone?" "Say it." "Say it." "Uncle." "I can't hear you." "He's beaten." "Put the car down." "I was gonna." "Pretty good, huh?" "When you got Lobo on your team," "Who needs Superman?" "Oh..." "Unh..." "Oh!" "Ugh..." "Hello?" "Anyone here?" "Hello?" "[beep beep] Superman to Justice League." "Looks like we've somehow been transported to a planet with a red sun." "My powers aren't working." "I'm picking up your homing beacon, but I'm not getting audio." "I'll leave this channel open and attempt to move closer to your position." "Unh." "[gas flowing]" "[engine revving]" "[growling]" "[clang] ha!" "Ha!" "Unh!" "[clang clang]" "Ugh!" "[engine revs] [tires squeal]" "[thunder]" "[engine sputtering]" "Should've taken the compact." "[growling]" "Down!" "[barking]" "Stay!" "Unh!" "Oof!" "[grunting]" "[barking]" "Just you and me, huh?" "Guess this is where we find out who's top dog." "Yah!" "Hyah!" "[whining]" "[growling] [beep beep]" "If I'm interpreting this thing right," "We're very close to each other." "I'm bunking in for the night and heading out again at dawn." "Maybe we'll see each other tomorrow." "Whoa!" "[beep beep]" "End of the line, guys." "[whimpering]" "Get!" "Go on!" "Oof!" "[beep beep]" "[growling]" "[panting]" "No!" "No!" "Computer:" "Commlink--02." "Recognized." "Authorized user:" "Superman." "Access granted." "Hello!" "Is anybody in here?" "Hello!" "Computer:" "Warning!" "Watchtower now running on reserve power." "System sleep in 30 seconds." "Override." "Unh!" "What happened to everybody?" "Man:" "They died, Superman." "Thousands of years ago." "They don't build them like this anymore." "What?" "It didn't lose orbit until only 75 years ago." "Remarkable feat of engineering." "What happened here?" "I think you've already guessed." "This is Earth." "Yes." "Thousands of years in your future." "That simpleton Toyman never truly understood what he had created." "The disintegrator beam he hit me with..." "An energized tacchian stream." "That's what sent you into the future." "Hello." "How'd you get here?" "The old-fashioned way." "I'm immortal." "I'm the sole remaining survivor of the human race." "All the people?" "Gone." "The Earth belongs to the cockroaches now." "Oh, and me." "I picked up your comm signal a few weeks ago." "I used it to track you down." "You could have just called!" "I was afraid you might be holding a grudge." "If you'd switched off, I might never have found you." "Grudge?" "You tried to take over the world..." "Twice." "In the long run, not so important." "Take it from someone who knows." "You're insane." "True." "But that doesn't mean I'm not good company." "Say, you want to come over to my house?" "Like you've got something better to do." "Before we go inside, I want you to see this." "This is Metropolis." "Was." "I restored it myself." "Archaeology is one of my hobbies." "Your funeral was lovely." "It was on all the networks." "I used to have the DVD." "I'm glad you enjoyed it." "As a matter of fact, I did." "But I've had 30,000 years to reconsider." "It took you that long to figure out that you're a power-mad despot?" "It took me that long to figure out that my lust" "For power and control was meaningless." "I don't know what kind of con" "You're trying to run on me," "But you're wasting your time." "I should never have done it." "Done what?" "This." "I destroyed the world." "It was only a few months after you disappeared." "I had just perfected an invention" "That gave me total control over gravity." "I proclaimed myself master of the world." "The Justice League would never have allowed that." "True." "They put up quite a fight." "Green Lantern was the most difficult." "I killed him right here." "No..." "It was over there." "In any case, I destroyed the entire Justice League that day." "But that wasn't all." "My newfound powers disrupted" "The gravitational balance of the entire solar system." "This is the result." "Ugh!" "Oh!" "Ha!" "I should smash your skull." "Go ahead." "We both know it wouldn't work." "Aaugh!" "What now?" "Lunch." "Sorry about the mess." "I tried to tidy up a bit." "Superman:" "You did all this?" "Savage:" "Every bit." "I've had a long time to tinker." "You have to keep busy, or you'll go mad." "Self-help books." "You don't seem the type." "I read whatever I can find." "Anyway, I've got issues." "What with my destroying the Earth and all." "Hope you're hungry." "Like it?" "I grew all the food myself." "House, garden view." "Some garden." "I spent quite a lot of time" "Rediscovering the principles of agriculture." "Something to do." "Like the rocket ship, I suppose." "Star ship." "I'd intended to leave the Earth" "And search the universe for other life," "But I never did." "Too difficult?" "Not at all." "I decided I deserved to be punished." "Savage!" "Savage, wake up!" "What?" "What is it?" "You've got a time machine!" "I spent several decades working on it." "Then I lost interest." "Why didn't you finish it?" "No attention span, I suppose." "No point, either." "There is a point." "Don't you see?" "You could go back and stop yourself" "From destroying the world." "No, I couldn't" "This design doesn't allow me to travel" "Back to any time where I already exist." "Yeah, but I'm already dead." "On your feet, Mr. Wizard." "We've got work to do." "It's not working." "It's working perfectly." "We just don't have sufficient power to keep it open." "You told me this place was powered by its own hydroelectric dam." "10 dams wouldn't be enough" "To open a time warp for more than a few seconds." "I take you've got something in mind." "About 30 years ago some of the roach creatures" "Broke in and stole my zero point generator." "It's the only power source in the world" "Capable of running my time machine." "Can't you just build another one?" "I'm working on it." "I'll be finished in another 50 years." "Care to wait?" "Superman:" "What do the roaches want with a power cell?" "For all intents and purposes it's a miniature sun." "They use it to provide warmth to their central mound." "We go on foot from here." "This is gonna be fun." "Trust me, it isn't." "Ah!" "[roaring]" "[footsteps]" "[roaring]" "So much for stealth." "They know we're here." "Haa!" "Aah!" "Go!" "Go!" "Look out!" "Aah!" "Superman!" "Aah!" "[triumphant music]" "You know, I suspected the radiation" "From the device might restore your powers." "But I didn't want to needlessly raise your hopes..." "Or mine." "You're ready to send me back?" "No." "But I will, anyway." "You have to stop me by any means necessary." "I promise." "4 days from your arrival," "My younger self will steal a piece of dwarf star matter" "From a scientist named Ray Palmer." "If you prevent that theft," "I'll never be able to build my weapon." "Ray Palmer." "Got it." "What happens to you?" "Redemption, if I'm lucky." "Don't worry about me." "Return to your friends." "Do what you do best..." "What you were born to do:" "Save the world." "Say it." "Say it." "Uncle." "I can't hear you." "He's beaten." "Put the car down." "I was gonna." "Pretty good, huh?" "When you got Lobo on your team," "Who needs Superman?" "Bang." "You're dead." "Aah!" "Superman!" "You're alive!" "Are you ok?" "I don't believe it." "I'm fine." "Very glad to be home." "Flash?" "[sniffling]" "Something in my eyes." "Yeah." "Tears." "It's ok, man." "We all feel the same way." "Superman, how can you be..." "Alive?" "Toyman sent me to the future." "Then Vandal Savage and I" "Fought some giant cockroaches and..." "It's complicated." "I love the beard." "Keeping it?" "Not a chance." "You were greatly missed, my friend," "By all of us." "Don't let him fool you." "Your death hit him as hard as it did any of us." "Really?" "No." "I never believed you were dead in the first place." "I guess that's sort of a compliment." "Ain't this great?" "The whole team together again." "All 8 of us." "Count again." "You're fired." "What?" "You're not Justice League material, Lobo." "Go chase a bail jumper." "I don't care what you do, just clear out." "This is the thanks I get?" "What a stinkin' rip." "Next time you lollipops need help," "Don't bother askin' the main man!" "We didn't ask you this time!" "Guess you'll want to get cleaned up" "And find a new set of clothes." "Not yet." "We've got a job to do." "Come on, I'll explain on the way." "Thank you, my friend."
