Justice League Edit

A believer.

A couple more seconds, you'll see your opening.

A creature of chaos.

A human being can only absorb so much.

A man I knew used to say that hope is like your car keys.

A Mother Box destroys as it creates.

A new toy?

A picture of your dead boyfriend.

A Victor Stone.

A weapon? Some kind of power?

About kitten grooming.

About time somebody here did.

Absolute best of the best.

After the unity, you will join my legion

Ah, well, facial recognition's a bit dodgy on this one.

Ah, you know, I've never seen the Pacific.

Ah, you were born of her.

Ah! There he is. Welcome aboard.

Ah.

Ah.

Ah. Let them come.

Ahh!

Alfred, are you seeing this?

Alfred, I need the big gun.

Alfred, I need the Nightcrawler.

All he needs now is the lost Box of Men.

All right, Alfred. Are we set for broadcast?

All right, let's keep it moving.

All right, stop jerking around, Luthor,

All right.

All the vics work for STAR Labs.

All you have to do is look

Also among my fears is drowning.

Also known as Protector of the Oceans.

Amazon!

Amazons, Atlanteans, all the tribes of men fought side by side.

Amazons, Atlanteans, each stands and falls alone.

Amazons! On your mark!

An apocalyptic power that not only destroys worlds,

An enormous bonfire burned right behind me,

And bringing in Lois Lane?

And Clark promised me you were gonna bring home another Pulitzer.

And fierce, and strong, and... Mmm.

And I get the exclusive.

And I haven't been doing it. I've been reacting.

And I promise you, Steppenwolf is not out there talking about ethics.

And I want you to stop coming to see me.

And I'm gonna make things right.

And if you agreed to meet me,

And it seems to manipulate space time.

And maybe you need us.

And murder. And I can't be here.

And my exile will come to an end.

And never gave me another thought.

And one for Ahab, there.

And Steppenwolf has got the third box.

And that he would return when it did.

And that pattern is all over Luthor's notes.

And that's it? We just pull them apart.

And that's what science is for.

And the Amazons to an island they can never leave.

And the team needs Clark.

And then he goes to Metropolis and kidnaps eight people?

And then?

And there is a high probability that we can bring him back.

And these aliens are gonna... probe him?

And things entirely new, or long overlooked.

And what does Clark need?

And yet, I'd never heard of you until Luthor lured you out by stealing

And you know the banks jump like a cougar if you miss by a dime.

And you know what?

And you know what? I don't wanna die.

And you will know the righteousness of power.

Any changes today?

Anything that can give me an edge.

Anyway, I'm thinking it's political.

Are those prescription?

Are you okay?

Are you really you?

Are you Victor Stone?

Arthur Curry.

Arthur, you need to relax. Your adrenaline's spiking.

Arthur.

Asshole!

At last you call me home.

At last, one that doesn't whine.

At last.

At last.

At most.

At some point, even you have to learn to move on.

At the end of the hall, there should be stairs. Go!

Back to the Dark Ages, and the safety of holy fear.

Backing up Code Three.

Baffling absolutely everyone from locals to government authorities alike.

Barry Allen of Central City.

Barry Allen, Bruce Wayne.

Barry Allen.

Barry, go find Alfred in the pantry.

Barry.

Barry.

Because he's not all right.

Because now I have to send you away.

Because the sun and it's...

Because you're holding yourself back.

Better not be.

Better than I ever could. His strength...

Big round table.

Booyah!

Both sealed and guarded in secure strongholds.

Bruce said something about you having to take us all to brunch?

Bruce, I was there.

Bruce.

But being part of something bigger like this,

But does it need you?

But he does visit his father.

But he was nine and nobody listened to him.

But hippos are the most deadly.

But I can't put it all together.

But I had to learn to open back up again.

But I suppose a mother does.

But I think we can take it.

But I was running the numbers while you were being an asshole,

But I'm also a big fan of justice.

But I'm back now.

But if I can cause a delay between each box, even for a nanosecond,

But if I win, you're off the team.

But it looks like an "S."

But it looks like really rough sledding.

But it's good to see you playing well with others.

But it's not like there's any less that needs reporting.

But it's too volatile to control.

But leaders get people killed.

But my foot's in the door.

But no dying.

But room for more.

But room for more.

But that's not...

But the light always returns to show us things familiar.

But these heroes were here the whole time

But they've got a partial match.

But this is science beyond our limits.

But to lead, to step into the light and to say to people,

But transforms them into the primordial hellscape of Steppenwolf's birth world.

But we formed our own unity.

But we gotta shut Steppenwolf down.

But you did.

But you guys should think about getting clear.

But you will scream.

But you're not a defenseless child now.

But, full transparency, I've never done battle.

But, you know, it's not like a macho measuring thing.

Can I keep this?

Can you at least point me to Atlantis?

Care for a glass of Goût de Diamants?

Carried from planet to planet,

Causes me to burn a tremendous amount of calories.

Cellular regeneration.

Child,

Children, stay close to me.

Children. I work with children.

Clark!

Clark.

Clark.

Clark.

Come down to the Lakeview, and I'll stick a... probe up your alien... you...

Come on, follow me, you damn insects.

Come on, Luthor. Let's go.

Come on, you think he fights criminals for 20 years here,

Come on.

Coming back?

Coming out of the shadows to tell us we won't be alone again.

Copy that.

Cortlandt, you're cutting out.

Could bring him back to life.

Couldn't do that last night.

Crawler's on the way. Initiating remote mode.

Critical damage.

Curious myself.

Dad.

Darkness, the truest darkness, is not the absence of light.

Deal.

Define "access."

Despite all that power.

Destroying the ecosystem. They got it coming?

Diana was right about the risk.

Diana, come on!

Diana, there's no time.

Did he just bail?

Did I not before?

Did you ever fight a hippo?

Did you find the cyborg?

Didn't think you were ready for them to...

Digging into my business and getting into my life.

Disappearing act.

Dispatch, this is 3 Adam 1 6.

Do you bleed?

Do you feel a sense of confidence

Do you really think that...

Do you talk to fish?

Does anybody know I'm alive?

Does your thing really stand for hope?

Doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Don't be. I have no idea what's in them.

Don't do that.

Don't need to add "mother in law" to the list.

Don't talk, don't fight. Get in, get one out.

Don't wait for me, just do the job.

Dostoevsky!

Down with the modern world.

Dress up like a bat.

Dressed like a bat.

Dressed like a bat.

Drop your guns now!

Each of us, in our own way, is held back.

Early night for you, Silas.

Easy to lose, but if you dig around, it's usually close by.

Eight kidnappings. Six in Metropolis, two here.

Eight people abducted from or near STAR Labs.

Enough.

ETA 30 seconds.

Even if there's a fraction of a chance?

Even Superman.

Even the gods themselves all acted as one,

Ever since we got visitors from Krypton,

Every day, I wake up different.

Everybody checks everybody else's work.

Excuse me.

Face to face.

Fairy tales and ghost stories.

Fate of the world, I think that's the deal.

Fear.

Fear.

Fell in love. Had a job.

Figures.

Find the last one!

Finish her!

Flank right!

For a criminal justice degree, huh?

For a while.

For Darkseid.

For the aliens she says stole her man.

For the unity!

For them to see the monster?

For you.

Forward!

From everyone.

From space?

From the Kryptonian ship... I think the change engine could integrate with its energy,

From the sky.

Gather the legions!

Genius IQ, football scholarship to GCU, and deceased.

Get down!

Get off me! I command you.

Gifts?

Give him time.

Give it time.

Give me your hand, man.

Go to a happier place.

Go!

Go!

Go!

God, I hope this is east.

Good.

Good. It's time, then.

Gorilla sign language.

Got it! Go!

Gotham Harbor.

Gotham Harbor.

Had a meltdown 30 years ago.

Hardly spent a minute in the house.

He and his odd little friends are forming some sort of league.

He comes in the winter when the people are hungry and brings fish.

He comes on the king tide.

He could've killed you.

He doesn't have it.

He has the last one.

He lived in this world.

He lived only to conquer.

He needs you.

He said that you were the thirstiest young woman that he'd ever met.

He said you could smell a story further away than he could hear.

He swore our alliance would crumble.

He took the Mother Box from Atlantis.

He used it on you.

He wanted to make the Earth kneel before he destroyed us.

He was more human than I am.

He was pretty tense.

He won't last three minutes.

He'll get over it.

He's after the change engine. His Mother Box.

He's back.

He's clearing the field.

He's completely off the grid.

He's confused. He doesn't know who he is.

He's gone.

He's not all right.

He's trying to burn down the world!

Heads up.

Her scent is on you.

Here in Gotham?

Here to see Henry Allen.

Here's the potential perp.

Hey, I don't mind if the oceans rise.

Hey. No, no.

Hi, Barry, I'm Diana.

Hi.

Hiding from the fight?

Hmm...

Hold on. Hold on. Yeah.

Home, family,

Honestly, I think we're all gonna be dead way before that.

How about if they boil?

How did you get the house back from the bank?

How do you...

How many people are on this special fight team?

How many people that you saved... Have you saved?

Huh? Oh.

Humans.

Hungriest.

Hurry it up, will you?

Hush!

I agree.

I am a "snack" hole.

I am a drag on your life.

I am the end of worlds!

I am. Matches the other sightings.

I believe in truth.

I believe there is a stranger who comes to this village from the sea.

I bet you...

I bought the bank.

I call it the Speed Force.

I can access everything.

I can barely do it now.

I can't sit here and watch you run in place in Central City

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you doing this.

I couldn't bear to lose my son.

I didn't bring a sword.

I didn't really embrace the sea or the land.

I didn't, um...

I dig it.

I do fine alone.

I do very competitive ice dancing.

I don't believe it.

I don't even understand the physics of how my toes hurt.

I don't have to recognize it.

I don't know.

I don't know. Money. Power.

I don't like the idea of reintegrating with the Mother Box,

I don't mind. It's an honorable end.

I don't need to hurt you...

I don't not...

I don't recognize this world.

I don't see why you're pushing her.

I feel stung by that.

I fought always when I was needed.

I found a little place. By the diner.

I got a language in my head that I don't speak.

I got a location for one of our recruits.

I got him.

I got tapped for the kidnapping story.

I guess Steppenwolf took the one your people were guarding.

I had to.

I hear you can talk to fish.

I heard a cannon.

I help them 'cause no one else does.

I honestly didn't hear anything after, "We're all gonna die."

I just don't know what they are.

I just feel like...

I just got out of a wooden box.

I just have to save it.

I just undid a mistake, that's all.

I just...

I knew her.

I know it's frightening, but if you go under,

I know we went to war with the Amazons, but that was before my time.

I know what it looks like.

I know you have abilities.

I know you.

I know, Mother, you've waited too long for the unity.

I know.

I know. But you will feed.

I know. It's...

I lost someone I loved once.

I lost your mother in that accident.

I mean, he did the Bilbao job two years ago.

I mean, honestly, weird in so many ways.

I mean...

I might be able to do it.

I might be able to jump start it.

I might be able to wake the box. If that's...

I need friends.

I need to speak to you.

I need warriors.

I need you to take a walk.

I never got to say...

I once knew a man who would have loved to fly it.

I plotted all the sightings in Metropolis, Gotham.

I practically dared her to.

I promise we will pull you back out.

I see why you waited to summon me.

I see, Mother.

I shut myself off from...

I take it back.

I think that was beautiful.

I think there's an attack coming.

I think they must be containers of some kind.

I told myself the same for a long time.

I wanna die.

I want you to give all that up.

I want you to listen to me, Barry, because I mean this.

I want you to make your own future.

I was hoping it was gonna take you longer to recover.

I was hoping you would dig him up.

I was in an accident.

I was just celebrating God's return

I was willing to make the trade.

I was wondering if you could put out a feeler.

I wasn't about to...

I wasn't Lois Lane, the dedicated reporter.

I will take my place among the New Gods.

I wish you'd said something.

I won't even sue.

I...

I'll die before I tell you.

I'll have a contingency plan for that.

I'll have to be there.

I'll kill you all!

I'll kill you!

I'll see about rigging something for the suit.

I'll take the ones on the right.

I'll talk to him tonight.

I'll tell you on the plane.

I'll try to keep up.

I'm asking for your help.

I'm building an alliance to defend ourselves.

I'm currently two minutes out.

I'm glad I didn't miss this.

I'm going to take out that tower and knock down that shield dome.

I'm here for him.

I'm impressed.

I'm not ready yet.

I'm not the one who brought a pitchfork.

I'm old fashioned that way.

I'm only interested in her skill set.

I'm perfectly happy doing fluff pieces

I'm processing.

I'm putting together a team. People with special abilities.

I'm really me, Ma.

I'm rich.

I'm the idiot who left.

I'm very sorry about what happened.

I'm young. There's shit that I want to do.

I'm...

I've been a loner my whole life.

I've been doing some tracking.

I've just pushed some people and run away.

Icebergs in the harbor, four months since the last ship got through.

If he doesn't already have it.

If he wakes up and you're the first thing he sees, you'll need one.

If I can get enough distance, I can conduct a significant electrical current.

If I was going to attack you, I would have done it by the lake.

If I win,

If it gets in front of a camera, causes a surge,

If the boxes are even close to each other,

If the current comes in strange, it might point the way.

If the plan goes south, we're gonna bring in the big guns.

If we get through the night.

If you could see what we're learning

If you stay up here brooding...

If you want to protect them, you need to work with me.

If you were in a conductive field, a boost from the Mother Box...

In a few minutes, four city blocks...

In prison for murdering his mother.

Instead he built a living machine

Invasion.

Is it a risk? Yes. But it's necessary.

Is it weird that it feels disrespectful?

Is Steppenwolf there?

Is this guy still bothering you?

Is this what conquering is?

It comes and goes. My...

It doesn't matter how strong you are.

It has slept for thousands of years, since the First Age.

It is the conviction that the light will never return.

It shows us new possibilities and challenges us to pursue them.

It was about seeing the engine of the world.

It was about the truth.

It was found by the British during World War I.

It was hard coming back here at all.

It was more than just a puzzle.

It was shelved till the night Superman died.

It was truly an Age of Heroes.

It wasn't my business. I'm sorry.

It will for me.

It would have been her responsibility

It'll give you access to the machine room.

It's 'cause they know he's dead, right?

It's a cycle of life, but a million times faster.

It's actually the worst job you can get in a crime lab.

It's already here.

It's ancient history.

It's for our podcast.

It's just a little out of place.

It's like a reflex with me. I don't know.

It's like this layer of dimensional reality,

It's meant to wind like a river.

It's my job.

It's not a she.

It's not just digital. It's alien.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's on him.

It's Pozharnov in northern Russia.

It's racially charged.

It's really cool you guys seem ready to do battle and stuff,

It's so cool.

It's stronger since the interface.

It's weird that you thought I meant me.

It's what they use on the space shuttle

It's worked for 20 years in Gotham.

Itchy.

Its energy will cascade, form a loop.

Its power builds until it can't be contained.

Its power will cleanse this world.

Jesus.

Jesus. He is tall.

Just a minute.

Just go.

Just keep the little merman away from me while I work.

Just tell me the truth.

Kal El, no!

Kal El, the last son of Krypton.

Keep it moving.

Keep them quiet!

Kryptonian!

Lab's all yours, Howard.

Laying down their lives to drive Steppenwolf away.

Left behind,

Let me.

Let's do it.

Let's go.

Lex Luthor fried the circuits bringing his creature to life.

Like a bat cave.

Like an alien army?

Like brunch! Like, what is brunch?

Like, aquatic.

Line them up along the wall!

Listen to me, Diana.

Listen...

Look at you go.

Look, I don't know you, and I don't know how you got these gifts.

Look, I'll give you $25,000 to talk to this man right now.

Looks like you have a date, Ms. Prince.

Luthor!

Man, I'm not doing this on purpose.

Man, my toes hurt!

Mankind's melting the polar ice caps,

May be temporary.

May, in fact, not have been his coat.

Maybe he did, too.

Maybe he's at peace.

Maybe his soul.

Maybe I'm scared because I'm meant to...

Maybe not his mind.

Mayday! Mayday!

Men won't know what it means.

Men won't.

Millennia in exile, searching...

Millions fell before his blade, or rose again as his Parademons.

Millions in structural damage.

Modified.

Monsters from the sky.

Monsters.

Mother Boxes.

Mother is calling.

Mother.

Move it! Move! Move!

Muscles, coordination, basic cellular integrity.

Must be 100, 150 feet.

Must be.

My ax is still slick with the blood of your sisters.

My father called it a change engine.

My father thought it was the key to unlimited energy.

My father thought that he could use the Mother Box

My Howard is a good man. He's a provider.

My man.

My point exactly.

My special skills include viola, web design, fluent in sign language...

New formulas.

Nightmare creatures who feed on fear.

Nine.

No fuss, no muss.

No Internet, no satellite coverage.

No one else can do what you do.

No pattern I can see.

No, Master Wayne.

No, my Queen.

No, there's no problem.

No, wait. No, wait. Wait. Wait!

No!

No!

No!

No!

No! Don't!

No! Leave me!

No.

No. Face to face.

No. I have too much to live for and more important things to do.

No. If these are gifts, then why am I the one paying for them?

No. Shh. That's dumb.

Noble Queen, why do you fight?

Not at all, Barry.

Not coming, Bruce.

Not enough.

Not good enough?

Not how I see it.

Not in like a Pet Sematary scenario.

Not leading.

Not really.

Not yet. But if you worked with me, if we had the change engine...

Nothing very interesting.

Now do you see it?

Now I gotta wonder if I'm it.

Now look to your left, you should see a staircase.

Now she's glad.

Now you say, "Do that."

Now, it's yours.

Now, who are you?

Of course I think it's all because he's gone.

Of course.

Of course.

Of what?

Oh, come on.

Oh, fuck.

Oh, I put a tracking device in his coat, but he left without it.

Oh, I think I will.

Oh, it's on.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. I got behind in the payments.

Oh, see, now that's cold. That's a betrayal.

Oh, snap!

Oh, sorry.

Oh, that shithole.

Oh, Victor.

Oh, what, now it's crazy?

Oh, wow. They just... They really just vanish.

Oh, yeah. We'll find the address.

Oh! Perhaps I should fly to Paris with a handwritten note.

Okay, but if I win, I get to tell everyone.

Okay, I really don't wanna talk about this again.

Okay, this is definitely east.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. We're not ready for...

Okay. You get technical, I'm on bug duty.

On land.

On my lead.

On the local scene, this janitor's wife had some strong words

One at a time. The bridge may not hold.

One misses the days when one's biggest concerns were exploding wind up penguins.

One of them was a little kid.

One to the Atlanteans.

One was entrusted to the Amazons.

One.

Oof...

Open gate.

Or are you just trying to look brainy?

Or I'm gonna have to come in there.

Or maybe you don't want to.

Or railroads?

Or to end it.

Or what abilities you might have...

Our darkness was deep and seemed to swallow all hope.

Out of the ground and back up into the sky.

Outside.

Parademons.

People are a little slow.

People are difficult. They require a lot of focus.

People from Atlantis tell me, "Do this."

People have been waiting for the next alien invasion.

People that have been kicked out of everywhere else.

Place was too big for me, anyway.

Playing all your favorite hits.

Please don't ever say that to me again.

Please don't make me do this.

Please help me!

Please, just let us go. I have a family.

Please, please.

Please! Please, man. Please!

Please?

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please. We have families.

Praise to the mother of horrors.

Praise to the unity!

Prep the jet. We're going north tonight.

Pretty sure that's what made the alien go crazy.

Primitive beings.

Prototype troop carrier.

Put it through the Batmobile speakers.

Quiet!

Ready!

Remember what you told me about heart in the hangar?

Remember who you are.

Ride ain't over yet.

Right, 'cause you can't control the machine.

Right, right. But we mean bring him back in like a, "Yay, he's back!" way,

Right.

Right. Okay. Yeah. Here's the thing. Um...

Run.

Satellites show civilians moving east.

Save one.

Save one. Save one.

Scared. Won't say a word but drew this. Looks like...

Seal the gates!

See, I'm afraid of bugs and, um, guns, and obnoxiously tall people.

Separating the boxes is still gonna cause a massive surge.

Shall I feed them?

She could've stopped me.

She will.

She's power, and power is the only law.

Should we bow? Or show our bellies?

Should've died.

Shouldn't we have a league of our own?

Shuffling around like an old ghost.

Shut up!

Sign.

Silica based quartz sand fabric, abrasion resistant, heat resistant...

Sitting in the dark, in my second favorite chair.

Six chairs, right there.

Slowpoke.

So am I.

So Clark seemed to share your view on being woken up.

So do I.

So I'm just a black hole of snacks.

So is this a bad time to bring up my blood sugar?

So it's a she. Hmm.

So let me get this straight.

So let's not talk about me moving on.

So much bitterness.

So that no tribe would be tempted to use its power over another.

So the eight may still be alive.

So then, there must be a nest nearby.
