Independence Day (The Challenge of the Justice League, Part 3) is the seventeenth episode in the second season of "The Justice League Show".
== Synopsis ==
After being thrown into a portal by Brainiac 1.0, Superman finds himself in Metropolis in a post-apocalyptic state. There, he must battle the forces of General Zod and liberate Metropolis from its deadly fate.
== Plot ==
The episode begins with Superman being dumped into an apocalyptic version of Metropolis by Brainiac 1.0. There, Superman finds Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen being abducted by goons in black attire; he manages to take them out before meeting with them. Lois and Jimmy reveal that General Zod is terraforming the Earth. General Zod arrives and proves to be a powerful opponent.
Using the Jor-El AI to take over the ship, Superman and Lois flee and warn the U.S. military after an explosive confrontation between Superman and Zod's troops in Smallville, just as Zod orders an invasion. Zod deploys the World Engine from the Kryptonian ship, which touches down in the Indian Ocean and begins firing a beam through the planet towards the ship, severely damaging Metropolis, and initiating the terraforming strategy. Superman destroys the terraforming platform while the military launches a suicide attack, sending Zod's troops back to the Phantom Zone. With the ship destroyed and Krypton's only hope of revival gone, Zod vows to destroy the Earth and its inhabitants just to spite Superman. The two Kryptonians engage in a lengthy battle across Metropolis, which concludes when Superman is forced to kill Zod as he attacks a cornered family in a train station.
After receiving thanks from General Lane for saving Earth, Superman asks if there is a way to return to his dimension because his world is in big trouble.
The episode ends at the real world, where Hawkman has an appointment with his mental therapist about the missing Justice League and the end of the universe.

== Trivia/References ==
* While Superman is being transported to an apocalyptic version of Metropolis by Brainiac 1.0, this sequence should be similar to the part where Dorothy Gale finds herself inside a tornado in a 1939 film adaptation of L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz".
