The Probe

The Probe is the eighth episode in the second season of "The Justice League Show", introducing Brainiac 1.0 respectively.
== Synopsis ==
The Justice League receives a message from a distant planet that Brainiac 5 still alive, and that he will return to them soon. However, his evil ancestor, Brainiac 1.0, shows up instead, and he is not happy with Superman and his fellow Leaguers.
== Plot ==
An alien probe travels the universe in search of Brainiac 5; its search leads it directly to Earth, where it was being watched over by the Justice League's Watchtower. At this very moment, Batman receives a mysterious message on his Bat-Computer, and the rest of the League is summoned, with Wonder Woman chasing after Supergirl as she rushes to the Command Center wearing only a bath towel. Although Alfred apologizes for interrupting Kara's bath, leers and laughter from the male members of the League suddenly make her blush with embarrassment. Wonder Woman helps her into her bathrobe until Supergirl notices the news hooked up from Batman's Bat-Computer, which is that Brainiac 5 is still alive; almost immediately, the League prepares for Brainiac 5's return. 
Unfortunately, the probe lands on Earth instead, causing the League to investigate the matter immediately. Suddenly, while the League is examining the probe, Darkseid and his squad of Parademons attack (in the hopes of using it as a map to guide Darkseid to two more Orphan Stones to generate his Fatherbox) until the probe puts out an energy burst that renders them unconscious and sucks Superman in it, where a series of whip-like metal tentacles ensnare him and lift him up into an agonizing scanning grid.
After Superman's scan, the alien (having no form he could comprehend) reveals himself as Brainiac 1.0, ancestor to Brainiac 5, who blames Superman for the death of Brainiac 5, hence sentences him to death for the contamination of his latest project. Superman pleads for a chance to fix the damage he and his team caused, and for the lives of the planet's native creatures, but Brainiac 1.0 is dismissive, citing greater dangers unknown to Superman. The conversation ends with Brainiac 1.0 carrying out Superman's execution.
The alien construct begins to pulse with building energy, which is a distraction that proves enough for the rest of the League into overpowering Darkseid and his Parademons. With renewed urgency, Superman breaks his bonds and flies right through the probe, causing it to explode. The League is left wondering if that really is Brainiac 5, but Superman declines, revealing that it was Brainiac 1.0, who is not very happy with them.

== Trivia/References ==
* Superman destroying Brainiac 1.0 should be a part similar to a scene from "Start Wars Episode VI - Return of the Jedi", where a squad for the Rebel Alliance, led by Han Solo, successfully destroys the Death Star's shield generator.
