"Previously on Justice League..." "Unh!" " What happened?" " Help has arrived." " You came from Mars to warn us?" " We first encountered them" "A thousand of your Earth years ago." " They were determined to make our planet their own." " I was the only survivor." " The invaders had nothing left to feed upon," "So they turned their sights to Earth." " They want to blot out the sun" "So they can live in perpetual darkness." " We'll have to take out those factories." " Lady, this is no job for amateurs." "[ coughing]" "It's the central core-- the ion matrix crystal." " If we can remove that, we'll shut down the whole plant." "[ lasers firing]" "No!" "[ thunder]" "Unh!" " Done." " I thought we'd never get this dish back on-line." " Man:" "Are you sure you hooked it up right?" " Yeah." " Why?" " My readings are off the chart." " Something's coming this way" "Something really big." " Government sources have confirmed the approach" "Of another object from space." " They predict it will be roughly 5 times the size" "Of the first landers." " Senator J. Allen Carter had this to say" "In the face of this new development," "We are calling on the public to remain calm." " I always wanted one of these." " But what if we get caught?" " What difference does it make?" " The world's coming to an end anyway." "[ sirens]" "Whoo-hoo!" " We're all doomed!" " Save yourselves!" "[ people shouting]" "Perhaps mother was right about mankind." " They're nothing but untamed savages." " Do not judge them too harshly." " They act out of fear." "[ shouting]" "Hey!" " There's kids trapped under here!" " Someone give us a hand!" " John:" "Will this do?" " Thanks, man." " Sorry we're late." " Had to stop and help some civilians." " What'd you call us back for?" " Superman's been captured." " He's trapped somewhere inside there with Hawkgirl." " Whoa." " And what about Batman?" " He acted heroically..." "To the very end." " The bat's gone?" " He was a true warrior." " This is not good." " Definitely not good." " I can't believe we're doing this again." " If Superman and Hawkgirl are in there," "Someone's got to rescue them." " You are sure they're still in there," "Aren't you?" " J'onn?" " Yes." " Your friends are alive, but we must act quickly." " The Imperium is coming." " The who?" " The supreme intelligence" "That controls these invaders." " We have met before." "[ quietly] can we trust this space case?" "[ quietly] what choice do we have?" " Ok." " We're going in." " Flash, create a diversion." " Diana, watch my back." " You want to rely on an amateur?" " Let's move." " Tag!" " You're it!" " Pbbbt!" " Not even close!" "[ yawns]" "Come on, slowpoke." " I dare you." " Over here!" " Ooh, you really stepped in it that time." " Bye-bye." " Where are they being held?" " This way." " Hope I didn't keep you." "[ alien speaking alien language]" "Wait here." "[ J'onn speaking alien language] [both speaking alien language]" "Aah!" " Aah!" " Unh..." "Unh..." "Come." " Is it just me, or does he creep you out, too?" " We are close now." " I sense they are somewhere beyond these walls." " Unh!" " Unh!" " Unh!" " It's no use." " We'll have to find another way." " Stand back." " We haven't much time left." "[ thunder] [rumbling]" "[all screaming]" "Unh!" " Mommy, what's that?" " Oh, my lord." " Great Hera." " Unh..." "Wait." " Something is not right." "[ gasps]" "Unh!" " It's a trap!" "[ all coughing]" "Lantern..." "Your ring..." "Can't focus." " Can't... [coughs]" "[all moaning]" "[speaks alien language]" "Superman:" "J'onn, J'onn, wake up." "[ groans]" "Superman." " You shouldn't have risked your lives for us." " Would you have done less for me?" "[ groans]" "My aching head." " Earth's mightiest heroes." " Welcome." " Senator Carter." " Unfortunately, the real Carter" "Never returned from Mars." " And you used me" "To weaken Earth's defenses." " You were so eager to cooperate." " Thanks to you," "The humans were totally helpless against us." " It's not over yet." " Wrong again, Superman." "[ thunder]" "All hail the Imperium!" " J'onn J'onzz." " It's been a long time." "[ screaming]" "[grunting]" "Much better." " You have defied us for centuries." " And I will never bow before you" "Or any of your kind." " Then we will personally see to finishing" "What should have been accomplished long ago" "The elimination of the last Martian." "[ groaning]" "[screaming]" "Let go of him, you filthy..." "Imperium:" "Yield to us, J'onn J'onzz." " Never!" " Why do you resist?" " Embrace this truth" "After all these years, you have finally lost." " Have I?" " You're hiding something" "A secret deep in the recesses of your mind." " Is this another of your Martian tricks?" " Do I sense fear?" " What are you hiding?" " Now!" " Batman?" " It can't be." " I mentally shielded him so he couldn't be detected." " What have you done?" " Reversed the ion charge." " The crystal-- destroy it!" " It's shielded!" "[ gasps] [aliens shouting]" "Aah!" "[ grunting]" "No!" " You live underground and shun the light." " Why?" " Does it burn your pale, putrid skin?" "[ screaming]" "Ooh, that's one nasty sunburn." " Ultraviolet rays." " Coming from the depths of space," "The invaders have no resistance" "To our sun's radiation." " So you did find their weakness after all." " Aah!" " Aah!" " Destroy them!" " Unh!" "[ grunting]" "Unh!" " Hah!" " Unh!" " Unh!" " Unh!" " Unh!" " Hah!" " Hah!" " Unh!" " Aah!" " Aah!" " Aah!" " Aah!" " Aah!" "[ grunting]" "Aah!" " Aah!" " Imperium!" " Unhand me, worm!" " Unh!" " Oof!" "[ gasps]" "No!" " Unh!" " Aah!" " Hah!" " Hah!" " Hah!" " Hah!" " Hah!" " Aah!" " We'd hate to lose you again." " Maybe we'd better get out of here." " Not without them." " Unh!" " Aah!" " Unh!" " Flash, give me a hand." " Ew, gross." " Now!" " The whole place is going to blow!" " Everybody, stay close." " This is Snapper Carr." " In the aftermath" "Of the metropolis meltdown," "Most of the invaders have retreated from Earth." " Superman and a team of other heroes" "Have driven out the remaining pockets of resistance," "Helping to restore order around the world." " Despite this stunning victory," "Some are warning that we must remain vigilant." " We got lucky this time." " What will we do if the invaders ever return?" " Superman:" "Incredible." " Do your stockholders know about this, Bruce?" " A line item hidden in the aerospace RD budget." " This Watchtower will act as an early-warning system" "For detecting other threats of invasion from space." " And it also has a fully stocked kitchen." " Iced mocha?" " No, thanks." "[ slurping]" "Mmm." " They don't have these on Themyscira." " Stick around, princess." " I'll show you the ropes." " Perhaps I will." " John:" "An impressive installation." " Most impressive." " But what's it got to do with us?" " I once thought I could protect the world by myself," "But I was wrong." " Working together, we saved the planet," "And I believe that if we stayed together as a team," "We would be a force that could truly work" "For the ideals of peace and justice." " What, like a bunch of super friends?" " More like a Justice League." " Do you have any idea how corny that sounds?" " But maybe the big guy's got a point." " With all of us behind it, it just might work." " Count me in." " Me, too." " Hawkgirl:" "And me." " My mother may not approve," "But I find man's world to be intriguing." " I'll gladly join." " What about you, Batman?" " I'm not really a people person," "But when you need help-- and you will" "Call me." " Understood." " Then we're all agreed." " Wait." " J'onn's not here." " Yeah." " Where is he?" " J'onn, are you all right?" " My family and loved ones are long gone." " I am the last of my kind." " I know the feeling." " Now Mars is dead," "And I am alone in the universe." " J'onn, we can never replace the family you've lost," "But we'd be honored" "If you could learn to call Earth your home." " Come on."
