"WOTAN:" "The Library of Infinity containing all the knowledge of human experience the history of the entire cosmos." "And now, it shall all be mine." "Not even the protectors can stand against the sorcery of Wotan!" "FATE:" "Sorry, but your library card's expired." "WOTAN:" "Dr. Fate." "And I see you've brought a friend." "How unfortunate for both of you." "[BATMAN GRUNTS]" "FATE:" "Wotan is unimaginably powerful." "Even the helmet of Dr. Fate may not be enough to protect us from him." "It's not the helmet, doc." "It's the man beneath it." "I'll deal with them." "You take Wotan." "[BATMAN GRUNTS]" "[GRUNTS]" "[FATE GRUNTING]" "Without your helmet, Fate, you are defenseless." "[LAUGHING]" "[WATON GRUNTING]" "I'd call those boxing lessons I got from Bats a pretty good defense." "Told you, it's not the helmet." "It's the man." "Maybe." "But I prefer helmets to haymakers any day." "So this is the legendary Green Lantern Corps." "[GREEN LANTERN CORPS SHOUTING]" "How unbearably pathetic." "What's pathetic, Despero, is a tyrant like you thinking you can turn the corps into your own personal army." "DESPERO:" "Fool." "[GREEN LANTERN CORPS SHOUTING]" "I have the power to bend their will to mine." "See how easily they fall under my sway?" "And your masters, the Guardians of the Universe, will be next." "The Guardians have been moved to a safe place which is more than I can say for you." "DESPERO:" "Submit to me willingly, Jordan and together, we will bring forth a golden age unlike any ever seen before." "You mean an age of servitude?" "Where every individual is just an extension of your mind?" "No, thanks." "And I won't let you use the corps against the rest of the universe." "[GROANS]" "[CHANTING] In brightest day, in blackest night" "No evil shall escape my sight" "Let those who worship evil's might Beware my power, Green Lantern's light" "DESPERO:" "So Jordan chose to destroy himself and the corps rather than leave them in my power." "A minor annoyance requiring a minor change in plans." "CAVALIER:" "Batman." "If thou thinkest thou can stop me, then have at thee." "BATMAN:" "Somewhere, Shakespeare is spinning in his grave." "Thou art no match for the Cavalier." "Witty rogue, daring thief." "BATMAN:" "Delusional loon." "[CAVALIER GRUNTS]" "[POLICE SIREN WAILS  TIRES SQUEAL]" "BATMAN:" "Oa, Green Lantern headquarters." "[G'NORT HOWLING]" "That can't be good." "GUY GARDNER:" "Ah, shut your furry yap, will you?" "G'NORT:" "Hey, but I'm singing." "GUY GARDNER:" "Well, knock it off before I rip your tonsils right out of your throat!" "BATMAN:" "I'd know that obnoxious voice anywhere." " Grr..." " Guy Gardner." "What are you doing here?" "Apparently, rescuing you." "We don't need no rescuing." "I could've got us out anytime." "And besides..." "Hey, that ring." "[GUY GARDNER GRUNTS]" " Give it over." " Easy, Guy." "That's GL Corps property, and you ain't GL Corps." "SINESTRO:" "Back away, Gardner." "Now." "Sinestro, Green Lantern of Space Sector 1417." "Lowest crime rate in the known galaxies." "Why are you three locked up in the brig?" "This morning, Gardner had what you humans call a hissy fit when the cafeteria chef gave him poached eggs instead of scrambled." "[ALL SCREAMING]" "SINESTRO:" "As for myself, I was on a mission to protect a pacifist world from the Warlords of Okaara." "The Guardians accused me of using force after the Okaarans had surrendered." "BATMAN:" "Did you?" "Yes." "The Warlords are well known for striking once their opponent's guard is down." "Sometimes we have to bend the rules to protect the innocent." "Something you surely understand." "[G'NORT GROWLING]" "BATMAN:" "And you are?" "G'nort Esplanade G'neesmacher Green Lantern of Space Sector X minus 5267-point-2." "Ow!" "[WHIMPERS]" "Go ahead." "Tell him why you're in the brig." "Well, I came down to bring them lunch, and I'd locked myself in." "Whatever the reasons you're all behind bars it saved you from the fate that befell the others." "[GREEN LANTERN CORPS SHOUTING]" "Despero, the most dangerous humanoid in the galaxy." "Well, thanks for stopping by, Bats." "I'm coming along." "And I get the feeling I'm gonna need more than a Batarang against this guy." "Hey." "No way I'm letting you wear that ring." "I'm afraid one who's not of the corps cannot wear the power ring." "But that doesn't mean we can't use our rings to augment you." "Now." "BATMAN:" "Cool." "[G'NORT SHOUTING]" "Your power suit will respond to your will much as our rings do." "Nice." "Now let's get moving." "We need to make double time." "Wait a minute." "Who died and left you in charge?" "I put myself in charge." "Got a problem with that?" "Yeah." "I do." "Your poor attitude annoys me." "Oh, you want a piece of me too?" "The freedom of the entire universe is on the line." "And our first duty is to the innocent people we've sworn to protect and serve." "You're right." "Of course." "The more we fight, the farther away Despero gets." "DESPERO:" "Actually, I'm closer than you think." "Look upon my magnificence, the fullness of my power." "Do you see now why there's no hope?" "Wowzer!" "That boy's had a real growth spurt." "The universe needs control." "You, of all men, must understand that." "Okay, Guy, you and G'nort take the left flank." " Sinestro and I will take..." " Eat my toenail clippings." "Don't worry, Mr. Batman, sir." "I'll take the left flank." "Um, uh, which way's left?" "On my command." "Fire." "[DESPERO SCREAMING]" "I knew I should've charged this sucker." "[G'NORT GRUNTS]" " How did he ever get into the corps?" " An influential uncle pulled a few strings." "At least I can count on one man on this team." "The armor and the ring work on the same principle." "It's all about will." "Focus that, and there's no limit to what I..." "We can do." "[SHOUTS]" "You two are dangerous." "[SCREAMS]" "You did it." "You did it." "My hero." "No licking." "Something's wrong." "An illusion." "He was never here." "DESPERO:" "Why should I be there when my mind is powerful enough to reach out and do the work for me?" "While you three have been battling dreams, I draw closer to my goal:" "The Green Lantern who will be my greatest, my ultimate weapon." "I thought you were the only Lanterns left." "There is one Green Lantern who wasn't on Oa." "Hokey smokes." "He's going after Mogo." "BATMAN:" "Mogo?" "SINESTRO:" "Mogo is a living planet." "And if Despero has gained control of him there may be no hope left for any of us." "DESPERO:" "Now to remake Mogo in my own image." "There it is, Mogo, the planet Xudar an inhabited world." "Billions of minds for me to absorb." "Surrender to the wonder, to the glory that is Despero." "And now for our next target, Space Sector 2814 and the planet Earth home to a vast array of superpowered beings that I can bend to my will." "We can still stop Despero." "But you and G'nort are going to have to follow my orders to the letter." "We're doomed." "Now, look, Bats, you can hatch all the plans you want but from here on in, Guy Gardner's working alone." "You so much as sneeze without my permission, you're going to regret it." "That I'd like to see..." "One punch." "Ha, ha, down from one punch." "Get him on his feet." "[SIGHS]" "Just for the record, I let you do that." "So, what's the plan?" "Our only hope is to drain all the power from Mogo's Lantern into one of your rings." "Take the weapon out of Despero's hands?" "Heh, clever." "Sinestro, you fly ahead and place a protective shield around Earth." "I'll keep Despero busy." "And, Gardner, you do the same thing with Mogo." "Yeah, got it." "While Mogo and Despero are distracted you'll have the simplest, but most important task." "Guard this asteroid?" "Drain Mogo's power battery into your ring." "Huh?" "I don't know if I can do this, Mr. Batman, sir." "Everybody knows I'm just a screwup." "Maybe somebody else had better..." "There isn't anyone else." "But my ringy-ding ain't got much power left." "It's not the ring." "It's the man." "I'm not exactly a man." "But, hey, if a guy like you has got faith in me then I'll give it my best shot." "GUY GARDNER:" "Mogo, Despero's making a chump out of you." "[GUY GARDNER GRUNTS]" "G'NORT:" "There it is." "Mogo's battery." "Okay, okay." "All I gotta do is say the oath and save the world." "I can't remember it." "Oh!" "Don't..." "Don't..." "Sure, I can." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "I got it." "[CHANTING] In sunniest day, in cloudiest night" "No bad guy shall escape my bite" "Oh, no." "That's not it." "[GROANS]" "[GROANING]" "What are you doing here?" "You're supposed to be protecting the Earth." "That's exactly what I'm doing." "I have no intention of allowing Despero to take control of the universe." "And I refuse to leave its fate in the hands of incompetent fools like you and G'nort." "That's why I'm gonna blow Mogo to bits." "Mogo?" "He's a living being, a Green Lantern." "Well, what about G'nort?" "If Mogo blows, then that dumb mutt's finished too." "Extraordinary." "The troglodyte actually has feelings." "Hey, look, Sin, I get it." "Desperate times, desperate measures." "But all we gotta do to take down Despero is let G'nort do his job." "[GUY GARDNER GRUNTS]" "Why does that not fill me with confidence?" "[BATMAN GRUNTING]" "DESPERO:" "You are a most impressive human." "But don't you realize there's no way you and your motley crew can defeat me?" "Gardner is a loose cannon ruled by his ego." "The dog is an idiot." "And Sinestro..." "Is the one man I could completely depend on." "Would you care to hear the full story behind Sinestro's imprisonment?" "I learned your comrade not only attacked the Okaaran Warlords after they'd surrendered he callously destroyed every living being on those ships." "After which, he created a puppet government, loyal only to him on the very world he was sworn to protect." "Sinestro and I both seek to impose order on a chaotic, meaningless universe." "He will be a wonderful soldier in my cause." "As will you." "[GUY GARDNER GRUNTING]" " You can't do this." "You're one of us." " I was never one of you." "I have always stood alone above the rabble." "[GUY GARDNER GROANS]" "Are you that desperate to prove what a great hero you are?" "[GROANS]" "It ain't about me." "It's about Mogo." "And G'nort." " And Earth!" " Aah!" "Ah!" "[CHANTING] On Labor Day, on Halloween night" "No nose hair shall escape my sight" "[BATMAN GRUNTING]" "How?" "They tell me it's all about will." "And, believe me, will's one thing I've got plenty of." "I am Despero." "And I will peel your mind apart!" "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "Hmm." "Hmm." "[CHANTING] On Arbor Day or harvest moon No weasel shall escape my spoon?" "[GUY GARDNER GRUNTING]" "[SINESTRO GROANS]" "Heh, you didn't think I was above fighting dirty, did you?" "Hang on." "I forgot about my cheat sheet." "[CHANTING] "In brightest day, in blackest night" "No evil shall escape my sight" "Let those who worship evil's might Beware my power, Green Lantern's light"" "Get out of my head!" "Thanks, Mogo." "You were all in the ring?" "And sent to you for safekeeping." "Had a hunch you'd have the willpower to get us out of this mess." "GUY GARDNER:" "If it wasn't for me, Earth would've been kaput." "Heck, the whole universe would've been toast." "BATMAN:" "Gardner." " Good job, Guy." " Yeah." "Yeah, you too." "What did you end up doing with Sinestro?" "Ah, don't worry about him." "He's in a safe place." "Hate to say it, but you made a pretty good Lantern out there." "Thanks." "But if there's one Lantern here who deserves the credit it's G'nort." "[ALL CHEERING]" "Wha...?" "[G'NORT CHUCKLES]" "G'nort, I told you, no licking." "[G'NORT LICKING]" "[ENGLISH SDH]"
