"SUPERMAN:" "The Justice League was formed for two reasons." "First, as an acknowledgement that no single individual no matter how powerful, can solve all the world's problems alone." "And second, to uphold the values of truth, liberty and justice." "That, uh, last one's even in the name." "[CROWD LAUGHING]" "These five heroes have sworn to uphold those values." "You are watching live coverage of the Justice League's induction of its five newest members." "Looks like the entire League has shown up to welcome the new blood." "Everyone from Batman to Captain Marvel." "I'm glad they didn't kick Billy out." "And I love the fact there's a 10 year old on the League." " There is?" " Ow." "Way to keep a secret, genius." "Hey, she's on the Team now, right?" "CAT [ON TV]:" "Superman is now handing out official League membership cards starting with Doctor Fate The Atom Plastic Man and Icon." "I was the one who convinced Icon to become a hero in the first place." "I should be celebrating with him." " Not hidden away in here." " Welcome to our world." "Well, I suppose there's an upside too." "CAT [ON TV]:" "Finally, Green Arrow welcomes his former protégé, Speedy now known as Red Arrow, to this roster of heroes." " Way to go, Roy." " At last, he has his wish." "The first of us to make it." " No one'll call him a sidekick anymore." "RAQUEL:" "Wait." "Since when is being a sidekick a bad thing?" "You sidekicks were my inspiration." "Well, see, six months ago..." "[COMMUNICATOR BEEPS]" "So there you have it." "The world's officially a safer place." "MAN 1:" "Superman." "Superman, one question!" "WOMAN:" "Aquaman, will Atlantis be joining the U. N?" "MAN 2:" "Arrow, how hard will it be treating your ex-sidekick as an equal?" "BLACK CANARY:" "Are you ready to see the Watchtower?" "Born that way." "Plus six months." "I'm sure the Team will wanna congratulate all of you first." "You don't know Raquel, that is, Rocket." "After making her wait inside congratulations may not be the first thing on her mind." "I thought she would at least stick around." "ARTEMIS:" "Are you sure it's her?" "I mean are you absolutely positive?" "See for yourself." "This is the security footage from the Asheville Regional Airport." "Facial recognition confirms that's Jade Nguyen." "But you've seen her without her mask." "What do you think?" "It's Jade." "Cheshire." "Agreed, but focus on what she carries." "Is that the case you saw in New Orleans?" " The one that got away?" " Yes." "Okay, I'm guessing from the mug shot that this Cheshire's the bad guy." "But what's so important about that case?" "ROBIN:" "Remember the Injustice League?" "And their giant evil plants?" "Uh, yeah." "AQUALAD:" "The Team and the League put them in prison, but their allies still scheme and whatever is in that containment case seems important to their plans." "We had a chance to grab it in New Orleans, but someone screwed up." "Approaching Cheshire's jet." "[GASPS]" "MISS MARTIAN:" "Looks like there were no survivors." "KID FLASH:" "How come Homeland Security and the N.T.S.B. Aren't all over this?" "Cheshire's ID was a League alert." "Authorities didn't pick it up, and her jet didn't follow its flight plan." "Flew under the radar, literally." "The Watchtower auto-tracked the jet and recorded the crash." "Then why isn't the League here?" "Because our Boy Wonder has hacking skills and arranged to get the alert first." "And because Cheshire and that case represent our unfinished business." " Where are the bodies?" "CHESHIRE:" "Here's one." "And it is stunning." "RIDDLER:" "I am flora, not fauna." "I am foliage, not trees." "What am I?" "Come on, you can get this." "I am shrubbery, not grass." "What am I?" "I..." "Am bush." "Didn't you think we'd be tipped you were on Cheshire's trail?" "We're tired of your interference, kiddies." "This is the end game." "Ordered from above and executed by their master strategist, moi." "AQUALAD:" "Miss Martian, is everyone linked?" "MISS MARTIAN:" "Yes." "AQUALAD:" "Go!" "[SPEAKING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]" "[GRUNTING]" "AQUALAD:" "Superboy, the pylons." "Working on it." "Last one." "Better make it count." "[GRUNTS]" "CHESHIRE:" "It's like old times, dad pitting us against each other." "[GRUNTING]" "[SCREAMS]" "[GRUNTING]" "[SCREAMS]" "[GRUNTING]" "[YELLS]" "[GROWLS]" "[GROWLS]" "ROBIN:" "SB, you're flying." "[GRUNTING]" "[GROWLS]" "[GROWLING]" "[YELLS]" "CHESHIRE:" "Artemis." "CHESHIRE:" "Okay, fine, we're sisters." "I don't actually want you dead." "[COUGHING]" "[GRUNTS]" "[ZATANNA SPEAKING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]" "No, no, I am not the straitjacket type." "I'm strictly Belle Reve." "Not Arkham!" "[ZATANNA SPEAKING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]" " Is it always like this?" " Yeah, pretty much." "[ZATANNA SPEAKING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]" "BATMAN:" "Tell me if this sounds familiar." "You hacked League systems, disobeyed protocol and endangered your lives and your initiative resulted in the capture of three escaped felons proving Warden Strange runs Belle Reve as a cover for criminal activity." "Well done." "And then there's this." "Bio-technology integrated with some form of nano-circuitry." "Though I am unfamiliar with the species, the bio-component is clearly not of Earth." "BATMAN:" "We'll take it to the Watchtower for further study." "WOMAN [ON COMPUTER]:" "Recognize Batman." "Congratulations on the League thing." "Sorry I skipped out." "Yes, well, we both seem to have found teams that suit us." "We should go too." "Don't wanna miss the League's induction party." "WOMAN [ON COMPUTER]:" "Black Canary one-three, Icon two-zero." " You realize we were set up." " Yes." "Cheshire and Riddler were tipped and ready for us." " Not the mole thing again." "ROCKET:" "Mole thing?" "Again?" "We had intel that there was a traitor on the Team." "Namely Artemis, M'gann or me." "It is more complicated than that." "But your recent behavior does concern me." "Your attack on Mammoth nearly got Artemis killed." "[HIGH-PITCHED SQUEALING]" "LEX:" "Superboy." "I believe you've used up the last of your shields." "I have more." "Meet me on Santa Prisca." "AQUALAD:" "Superboy?" "There's something I need to do." "LEX:" "Welcome, Superboy." "I'd like to introduce you to my associate, Queen Bee." "My pleasure." "LEX:" "I believe you know everyone else." "Sportsmaster, Mercy, Blockbuster." "And our new friend Bane who's allowed us use of his island in exchange for certain considerations." "So the Injustice League was just a distraction." "You two have been behind everything from the start." "Heh." "A flattering notion, son, but we have many friends." " This one of your friends now?" " No, my boy." "One of yours." "[GASPS]" "Artemis?" "The hero thing wasn't working out." "You get how it is." "No trust." "This is where I belong." "It's a fast-growing club." "[GASPS]" "Why are they here?" "You promised." "I've kept your secret and my promise." "Now, you keep yours." "Good girl." "Give me more shields, and I'm in too." "My boy, you're a terrible liar." "Red Sun." "What do you want us to do?" "You two, follow me." "MISS MARTIAN:" "What about Superboy?" "He'll be fine." "He simply requires a few adjustments." "There's something I need to do, something I need to tell you." "Last month, on Thanksgiving, I went back to Cadmus, found a few things out." "When I was cloned, only half the DNA was Superman's." "The other half was human." "That's why I don't have, will never have, full Kryptonian powers." "You sure?" "Because you sure seemed to have them today." "I've been using these." "Shields." "They suppress my human DNA." "I get the flight, the heat-vision, but I think I also get angry." "Well, angrier." "I'm sorry." "Where did you get those?" "From my human father, Lex Luthor." "Lex Luthor is your dad?" "He's summoned me to Santa Prisca." "Bring him along." "Ah..." "Listen." "Superboy's not the only one suffering from bad DNA." "My mother is Huntress, an ex-con." "The rest of my family aren't even ex." "My dad's Sportsmaster and he's sending my sister, Cheshire to fly me to Santa Prisca too." " That's why..." " Yeah." "I was so desperate to make sure none of you found out..." "I knew." "Hey, I'm a detective." "But it never mattered." "You aren't your family." "You're one of us." "[ROARS]" "Sorry, Dad." "Wanted to play you like you tried to play me but I can't let them mess with Superboy's head." "QUEEN BEE:" "M'gann, be a dear and take Artemis down." "So who's next?" "MISS MARTIAN:" "I am." " I swear I was kidding." "Queen Bee's been blackmailing me." " She wants me in Santa Prisca too." " Blackmailing?" "How?" "She knows my true Martian form." " Bald M'gann?" "Who cares if...?" " No." "[SIGHS]" "[ALL GASP]" "Oh." "MISS MARTIAN:" "I realized you would never accept me if you saw what I really am." "M'gann, did we truly seem so shallow?" "MISS MARTIAN:" "I couldn't take a chance." "Being a white Martian among the green on Mars, I endured constant rejection." " I couldn't face that from..." " From me?" "SUPERBOY:" "I've known since we mind-melded ...last September, in Bialya." "MISS MARTIAN:" "But that was before we even became a couple." "Why didn't you say anything?" "SUPERBOY:" "I figured you'd tell me when you were ready." "[GRUNTING]" "MISS MARTIAN:" "Queen Bee is down." "Superboy, you're safe from her control." "May not be much of a liar, but I fooled you." "And I'm so proud." "I take it Miss Martian cleaned Red Sun from your mind." "And confirmed Aqualad, Robin and Kid Flash rescued me from Cadmus before you had time to install any other programming." "All true." "Personally, I blame Dr. Desmond." "[ROARING]" "[BLOCKBUSTER GRUNTS]" "[IN SPANISH]" "[YELLS]" "You have been a very naughty girl." "ARTEMIS:" "Guys, reinforcement time." "[YELLS]" "[GRUNTING]" "[GRUNTING]" "[ROARS]" "Time to go." "Luthor!" "Neither you nor Queen Bee is going anywhere." "Young man, if you expect to detain me, contact my attorney." "[YELLS]" "[GRUNTING]" "[ZATANNA SPEAKING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]" "[YELLS]" "[ZATANNA SPEAKING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]" "[GROWLING]" "[GRUNTING]" "I got this." " I can still..." "AQUALAD:" "No." "You are needed here." "[GRUNTING]" "[ARTEMIS GRUNTS]" "You know I don't tolerate disobedience, Artemis." "Sure, Dad." "Jade and I learned that the hard way." "[GRUNTING]" "[SPEAKING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]" " Huh?" " Gotta love an army of me." "[GRUNTING]" "AQUALAD:" "Superboy, Miss Martian, move!" "[GRUNTING]" "You should really learn to channel that anger." "AQUALAD:" "Artemis, now!" "[GRUNTS]" "[GRUNTS]" "Jade!" "CHESHIRE:" "Sorry, Dad." "In this family, it's every girl for herself." "Jade!" "[GRUNTS]" "[PANTING]" "Souvenir." " It is always like this." " Told you." "Hey, disaster averted." "Feeling the aster." "Agreed, this has been a good day." "WOMAN [ON COMPUTER]:" "Scanning." "RED ARROW:" "So are you ever joining the party?" "This bio-circuitry is disturbingly sophisticated." "I'll take that as a "no."" "Override Batman zero-two." "WOMAN [ON COMPUTER]:" "Recognized." "Access granted." "Vandal Savage A-zero-four." " I was the mole?" " Yes." "Yes, you were." "[English" " US" " SDH]"
