Green Lantern: The Brave and the Bold (2023 Film)

Green Lantern: The Brave and the Bold is an upcoming 2023 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character the Green Lantern and the Justice League. It is a follow-up to episode 6 of Emerald Knights, and a tie-in to the series. It is the sixth theatrical installment in the DC Multimedia Universe (DCMU). The film was directed by Greg Berlanti, written by WallyGoat7, and features Chris Pine as Hal Jordan, along with John David Washington, David Corenswet, Robert Pattinson, Jaimie Alexander, Lucas Till, Jono Kenyon and Harry Lennix. This film is a first for the superhero genre, as it releases both on the big screen and as a three-parter on Emerald Knights days later. Green Lantern: The Brave and the Bold is the first live-action film to feature John Stewart in a lead role, as well as the first live-action cinematic portrayal of Starro the Conqueror. As Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Martian Manhunter return to Earth, they must assemble the world's greatest heroes in order to repel the Starro invasion. The film was developed after the release of The Flash: Rogue War as it was originally planned to air exclusively on Emerald Knights.
==Story==
===Act I===
Open underwater, the Kingdom of Atlantis. The sea floor is shaking, and therefore the underwater Kingdom is in peril, buildings are falling, statues are collapsing. Atlantean Guards are saving the citizens from debris danger, when suddenly a mysterious starfish plops into the ocean, and then more. The guards investigate the strange anomaly, and are attacked and mind-controlled. They kill civilians, but are soon stopped by Mera’s hydrokinesis. She kills the loose starfishes and blasts the guards back, rendering them unconscious. Suddenly, Aquaman arrives at the scene, late. Mera creates an air bubble for the two to talk. 
Aquaman 
What in God’s name is going on? 
Mera 
I’m not too sure. First these tremors, then these starfishes attack the guards
Aquaman
And then the guards attacked you? 
Mera 
Yes! It’s like they weren’t sure of what they were doing 
Aquaman 
Perhaps it is Triton, or another angry god testing us once again? 
Mera 
No, I have the feeling that this is a surface world issue. 
Aquaman 
And you want me to go up and investigate 
Mera 
Arthur, I know you no longer trust the surface-
Aquaman
I never trusted the surface. My place is here, I’m the king of Atlantis. 
Mera 
And Atlantis needs to know that their king will protect them. 
Aquaman 
Then come with me 
Mera 
Arthur, somebody has to defend the kingdom. I can’t leave Atlantis unprotected with whatever’s going on
Aquaman
Tsh. Flake. 
Aquaman leaves the air bubble to swim up to the shore, and Mera looks up at him, hoping he’ll be enough to stop the coming invasion. 
Green Lantern: The Brave and the Bold (title card) 
Hal, John and MM land in Coast City, Earth. The ground is shaking, and it’s pouring rain. 
Hal
What’s going on? 
John 
A planet just zapped into our solar system instantly, it’s going to have some effects on our orbit
J’onn
Which means if we don’t stop this soon enough, there will be no more world to save
John 
All the reason to get on this, what’s the game plan J’onn? 
J’onn 
We need to find Earths heroes and convince them to band together. John, I know you are familiar with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman 
John 
Of course
Hal
Who are we talking about here? Batman? I thought he was a myth! 
J’onn 
Far from it. John, I need you to find Wonder Woman and Batman, Hal have you heard of the Flash 
Hal 
The fast guy? Seen him on the news once or twice 
J’onn 
Then it will be your job to find him. I will track down Superman. 
John 
Alright then, good luck men. 
Hal 
Wait, I- 
The two fly away towards their assignments 
Hal 
I don’t know where my guy is!!!
3 gangsters are talking in a strip club in Metropolis. 
Mobster #1 
-yea, and then Vinny goes all apeshit cause he’s scared of that batclown
Mobster #2 
Ooo, if I got my hands on that guy 
Mobster #3 
Ah, what would you do, Larry? 
Mobster #2 
You wanna know what I’d do if I caught that dickhead? 
Batman 
Tell me.
The mobsters are terrified, Batman appeared right behind them. One of them throws a punch, and Batman catches it then punches him in the stomach. He then throws the couch at the 2nd mobster, flipping the third over a table. 
Superman 
You know, Batman, there’s easier ways to drop in and say hi. 
Batman 
If you don’t want me in your city, then watch your city. How these two bits were able to get into Metropolis past you-
Superman 
Listen, I have a job, Batman. A girlfriend. Responsibilities outside of Gotham crime families. 
Martian Manhunter 
I am afraid I must add one more to the list. 
Superman 
J’onn? 
Martian Manhunter 
Superman. It has been some time. 
Batman 
Friend of yours? 
Superman 
Batman, meet J’onn J’onnz. The Martian Manhunter. He’s the main reason we were able to get back from Warworld.
Batman 
Manhunter? 
Martian Manhunter 
I mean no threat to those upholding the law. I wish this was a call for conversation, but we have more pressing matters. 
Superman 
Well, what’s the problem?
Cut to DC, Diana Prince is exiting a coffee shop when all of a sudden the ground starts trembling. She transforms into Wonder Woman, and saves all the civilians from danger. John Stewart drops in to help. 
John 
Wonder Woman. 
Wonder Woman 
John Stewart, it is nice to see you again old friend. 
John 
Wish it were under better circumstances 
Wonder Woman 
I assume this is related to the earthquakes 
John 
It’s worse than the earthquakes. Way worse. 
Wonder Woman 
Explain. 
Cut to Central City, the Flash has just stopped a bank robbery by a petty criminal. He leaves him at the police station 
The Flash 
Mark Mardon, extensive criminal record, wanted for home invasion, I wouldn’t let this guy outta my sight, gotta jet. 
Flash zooms out of the station, and a green blur catches up to him
Hal 
Fastest man alive, huh? 
Flash 
You’re new. 
The Flash suddenly stops, and Hal keeps going until he crashes into the dirt. He floats back over to Barry 
Hal
Fastest and funniest man alive. Amazing. 
Flash
Sorry about that, not used to- You’re Green Lantern, aren’t you? 
Hal
In the flesh. 
Flash 
Awesome. Wait, that means this is a superhero team up. Never awesome. What’s going on? 
Simultaneously, the trio explain to their respective heroes the situation. 
Martian Manhunter 
An alien parasite 
John 
An alien conqueror 
Hal
Huge space starfish 
John 
Wants to enslave the Earth 
Martian Manhunter 
Take over the galaxy 
Hal
Calls himself 
John, J’onn and Hal
Starro the Conqueror 
Hal
He transported an entire planet 
John 
An entire alien planet 
Martian Manhunter 
Right into the solar system 
Hal 
We have no idea how he’s gonna do it
John 
But we do know what he wants to do 
Martian Manhunter 
And we must stop him before he’s able to
John 
And if we don’t it won’t matter whether or not he conquers the Earth 
Hal
Because the entire Earth will be destroyed. 
John, J’onn and Hal
And we need your help to stop it. 
Superman
Have you contacted anybody else? 
Martian Manhunter 
Yes, my associates are meeting with the arranged metahumans as we speak. 
Batman 
How can we reach them
Martian Manhunter 
Like this.
J’onn sets up a mental link with Hal, John and the league. 
Martian Manhunter (mental)
Can you all hear me?
Hal (IRL) 
Jesus, warn a guy!
Flash 
You hear it too? Who is this? 
Martian Manhunter (mental) 
This is J’onn, some of you may know me as the Martian Manhunter. I have established a mental link between the seven of us in order to coordinate this plan smoothly. If you would allow me, I would like to make this more- 
The seven of them appear in a mental field, it looks like Earth. The street is empty and the sky is blue. 
Martian Manhunter 
normal. 
Wonder Woman 
Where are we? 
Martian Manhunter 
Inside my mind. I have created a landscape to appease to you all, and eliminate any negative feelings. 
Superman 
You can do this? 
Martian Manhunter 
For a period of time, yes. 
Batman 
There will be time for small talk later, right now we need to formulate a plan, physically. 
Hal
Yeah, but where at? 
Batman 
Gotham Harbor. I know a place. 
John 
Understood. We’ll be on our way. 
J’onn
I’ll keep the link open as a means of communication. 
J’onn releases the heroes from the mental trance, and they all head on their way to the mental coordinates Batman has in mind. 
Most of the league is in Gotham, with Hal and Barry being the last to arrive
Flash 
Beat you. 
Hal
Yeah, next time I’ll actually try sparky 
Flash 
Like you weren’t. 
The leaguers stare at Barry and Hal 
Hal 
What, no friendly competition? 
Out of nowhere, a high speed Bat-themed boat arrives in the harbor’s waters. Batman hops in. 
Batman 
Follow me. 
Batman speeds off in the boat, as each of the heroes fly and run behind him. The waters open, and a metal entrance to the batcave presents itself. 
Hal 
My God.. he has a cave? 
Batman parks the boat right by the entrance, and hood onto the ramp leading into the cave. He walks inside with the league behind him. As they walk down the steps to the entrance, Batman sits at the bat computer to strategize the plan. Alfred is right beside him. 
Alfred 
You’ve brought guests. That’s a first  
Batman
Everyone, this is Alfred. He helps me strategize my missions. 
Superman 
It’s nice to finally meet you 
Superman extends his hand, and Alfred shakes it.
Alfred 
Likewise. 
Flash 
This place.. 
He runs around the entire cave, coming back to the same spot a second later 
Flash 
Wow. Just- 
Batman 
Listen, we need to head straight for the source. 
Wonder Woman 
The only problem is we don’t know where that is 
Batman 
Portugal, reports have been flying in about homes and buildings being destroyed, take a look at this. 
Batman shows a news clip, the newscaster is in a helicopter with a camera man
News Reporter
Cat Grant here with the Daily Planet in Portugal, Spain, which seems to be the epicenter of this natural disaster of epic proportions, we only wonder what this spells for the fate of our planet, and how we’ll- LOOK OUT! 
A giant tentacle smashes a nearby building, and the signal goes clear. 
John
Then we need to go. Now 
Martian Manhunter 
We can not just rush in head on, we need a plan 
Wonder Woman
We need to start with getting those civilians safe. 
Batman 
Which is why we’re going to do crowd control beforehand. We expel the situation down here, then we stop it at its source.
Flash 
Wait, how are we gonna survive above atmosphere? 
Hal
Won’t be a problem. John and I can easily bubble the non space breathers. 
Flash
Bubble?
Hal
Yeah, we can-
John
Just trust us, we’re getting off topic.
Superman
Then it’s settled. Save civilians, then unplug Starro at his source. 
John
Whatever you guys do, do not touch the stars. Starro uses them to take control of whoever comes in contact with it.
Batman
Understood. Let’s get going. 
Hal
To Portugal? How are you supposed to get there? 
Batman smirks.
Batman is in his plane. 
Hal
He has a bat themed private jet. Of course he does.
Batman speaks to the other leaguers through the mental link. 
Batman
We need to split off into groups. Superman and Wonder Woman, you’re our alpha heavy hitters. Lantern 1, Martian Manhunter, you’re beta. Flash, you’ll be going solo, you can make up the distance. And Lantern 2, you’ll be with me in gamma. 
Hal
Well that’s fun.
Wonder Woman
Superman and I have just touched down in Portugal. 
John 
So have Hal, J’onn and I
Flash
Jesus, I’ve been here. Probably should’ve said something. 
Batman 
Touching down now. We all know what we need to do. Godspeed. 
In their section of Portugal, John, J’onn and Hal speak out loud. 
Hal
I’m starting to really hate that guy. 
John
He’s.. efficient. But we have our orders Hal.
Hal
That’s the thing, who is it we’re taking orders from? Some guy in a bat costume?
John
Hal, listen-
Hal
John we don’t know this guy! We don’t know any of these guys! Why don’t the three of us just-
Martian Manhunter
Hal, we are incredibly constrained for time. We, as a team, collectively gave him authority a long time ago. 
Hal
Yeah, how is that? 
Martian Manhunter 
I’ve been inside all of your minds, I know that we all agree with his plan. Including you. Please Hal, we will not be able to win divided. 
Hal contemplates this. 
Hal
Stay outta my head next time, yeah? 
He flies off to go find Batman, who’s rescuing civilians and fighting Starroized ones. After he’s finished, GL touches down behind him. 
Batman 
Took you long enough. 
Hal
Listen pal, I get the whole routine, you’re the big man and everybody needs to listen to you. But the truth is you’re nothing special, you don’t run fast, you’re not super strong, you don’t even fly! You’re just a guy in a bat costume. 
Batman 
It’s not a routine. 
Hal
What?
Batman 
It’s not a routine. I don’t think I’m in charge, I know I’m in charge. I made a plan, everyone here seems to agree with said plan, they all know their roles, all except for you. We already have a Lantern, so if you’re too busy feeling inferior, you can leave. Your role will be filled.
Hal
Now listen here- 
Suddenly, the two hear a rumbling come from nearby. It’s a building that’s about to fall 
Hal
I got this.
Batman 
Wait! 
Hal flies over to the building and holds it up with a construct. Suddenly, the bottom of the building completely destructs and it turns into a dust cloud with nearby civilians present. Superman hears this with his hearing, and immediately flies to save every civilian nearby. He lands them in a safe spot. 
Superman 
Are you all right? 
They thank him, as Superman turns around they notice a star on his back and run. 
Batman 
Superman! There’s a star on your back get it off! 
It’s too late, the star has already reached Superman’s face. This brain controlled Superman heads straight for Batman, but is stopped by Hal. 
Batman (Mental Link) 
Team, Superman has been compromised. I repeat, Superman has been compromised. Everybody meet at my location, he is now top priority. 
Batman 
Lantern! Open the shield! 
Hal opens it for Batman to throw a smoke bomb around Superman 
Hal
Smoke? Can’t he see through that? 
Batman 
It’s lead based, he can’t see through that. Keep hitting him with constructs while he’s in the smoke screen, keep him busy until the others arrive. 
Batman calls Alfred at the Batcave. 
Batman
Alfred. I need the Hellbat armor. How long until the deployment Batwing can get here? 
Alfred 
Bruce, you are well aware of the toll that suit takes on your body, are you not?
Batman
That doesn’t matter right now, when will it be here?
Alfred
(Sighs) About two minutes sir. Keep stalling.
Batman
Good. And send the one with the.. modifications. 
Alfred 
Those modifications?
Batman
Let’s just say things turned sideways.  
Hal creates a giant rock em sock em robot to keep punching Superman, leaving him annoyed. Finally, Superman flies upwards, and heads straight for Hal. Hal forms a giant bubble around himself before impact. 
Hal 
Didn’t keep him very occupied! 
Suddenly, MM wraps himself around Superman, and John constrains him with a green crane. Wonder Woman flies up and repeatedly hits Superman in the face.
Flash
Can I get a stairway to Superman?
Hal
You got it. 
Hal constructs a stairway for Flash, and Flash runs up the thing to punch Superman in the stomach at super speed. Finally, Superman headbutts Wonder Woman away, and knees the Flash, so they both end up flying away. He manages to break the Lantern construct, and remove Martian Manhunter from his skin like a peel. 
On the ground, a star crawls up Wonder Woman, mind controlling her as well. She immediately heads for Flash with her sword, who’s still on the ground unconscious. She’s about to stab him as he suddenly wakes up, dodging her strikes at super speed. She keeps swiping at him, and he keeps dodging. 
Flash (Mental Link)
Need a (swipe) hand here (swipe) Wonder Woman is (swipe) compromised! (swipe)
Batman (Mental Link) 
Hal! Go deal with Wonder Woman! We’ll deal with Superman.
Hal
More orders. Yay. 
Hal flies over to fight Wonder Woman with Flash, meanwhile Batman sets off a large flare to get Superman to the ground. As he lands, he’s punched by John’s giant construct hand. 
John
So you are crazy?
Batman
We have the advantage on the ground. 
John
He can rip right through you, you’re aware of that right? 
Batman
Not exactly. 
While Martian Manhunter and Superman are fighting, Batman grapples away to the Hellbat capsule. He enters the costume, and glides back into the fight. Meanwhile, Hal and Flash are fighting Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman is hacking on Green Lantern’s bubble, trying to break in. 
Hal 
This bubble won’t last forever!
Flash
It’s only as strong as you can think it is right? Wow it really won’t last forever
Hal 
First, screw you, second, do something please!
Flash
Don’t worry, think I got it buddy. 
Flash pushed WW away at superspeed, then runs around her, creating a vortex. 
Flash (Mental Link)
If I can run around her at the speed of sound I can remove the oxygen from her lungs, but only enough to incapacitate her. How much oxygen does Wonder Woman carry? How long will this take? When this is all over I really should- 
John (Mental Link)
Flash, we can all hear you.
Flash (Mental Link)
My bad! This mental link should really have a clear- 
Flash 
Ugh!
Wonder Woman pinpoints and punches Flash, launching him a couple hundred feet. 
Hal
Flash? What’s going on, I already miss your constant rambling. Oh shit-
Hal flies over to the unconscious Flash to form a bubble before WW can kill him. WW hacks at the bubble, and suddenly she is hit by a jet of water. Aquaman comes from nowhere. 
Aquaman 
Diana. It’s been a while. 
Wonder Woman lunges at Aquaman with her sword, which Aquaman blocks with his trident. He uses the trident to launch more water at Diana’s face. 
Aquaman
If I knew you were still mad about what happened, I’d have come to visit sooner. 
Diana runs and punches Arthur in the face, he whacks her with the trident again. They struggle with each other, sword vs trident. Aquman yells at Green Lantern
Aquaman 
How do these starfishes work? 
Green Lantern 
They mind control whoever’s face they’re grabbing, you have to knock her out for it to come off! 
Aquaman 
And you’re aware of how difficult that is surface dweller? 
Green Lantern 
I have a decent idea! 
Meanwhile, Superman fights J’onn and John. As Superman attempts to land a blow on John, Batman catches it in his hellbat suit. 
John 
You.. changed clothes? 
Batman 
Hellbat armor. When you need to defeat a god, you need to come prepared. 
Batman punches Superman in the gut, to no avail. 
Batman 
Hm.
Superman throws Batman across the street into another building. MM grows his fist to punch him in the face, knocking him back. Batman comes back, with the armor now powered by green lining. Batman makes a fist, and his knuckles turn green. He punches Superman in the stomach and Superman feels it. Batman keeps punching.
Batman
If you can hear me, Superman. I’m sorry. 
Batman pounds against Superman’s back, rendering him unconscious. He immediately smushes the star. 
John 
The hell was that? 
Martian Manhunter 
Kryptonite. Why do you have Kryptonite? 
Batman 
For times like these. 
Martian Manhunter 
Superman didn’t know about this. 
Batman is silent.
John
Batman, did Superman know about this? 
Batman 
I did what I had to. Instead of berating me, we should get on with the plan. 
Batman (Mental Link) 
Flash, GL, how is it coming with Wonder Woman? 
GL and Aquaman are currently restraining Wonder Woman, with Flash still out cold. Green Lantern had a construct clasp around WW, with Aquaman repeatedly hitting her with the trident. 
Green Lantern (Mental Link)
It’s coming! 
Wonder Woman breaks the construct, and Aquaman has to blast her back into the ocean. He jumps in after her, and underwater Aquaman uses his advantage to defeat Wonder Woman. The star floats up, Aquaman stabs it, and he throws WW back onto the surface, carrying her body over to Lantern. He stared at Hal, breathing heavily, but he’s won. 
The scene cuts to Lantern helping a hurt Flash limp over to the League, and Aquaman carrying Wonder Woman. 
John 
Who’s this? 
Batman 
The Aquaman. King of Atlantis. 
John
Atlantis? That exists? 
Aquaman 
Not like you were supposed to know, surface dweller. How does the bat? 
Batman 
I do my research.
Hal
Who cares who's the king of where? The point is he’s here to help. 
John 
And what happened to Flash?
Flash 
Wonder Woman.
Hal
Heh. Not fast enough I guess. 
Martian Manhunter 
Should we really be bringing an injured soldier onto the battlefield? 
Flash 
I’m fine. My speed allows me to heal 30 times faster than normal. Give me 5 minutes. 
Flash let’s go of Hal and limps over to the side, sitting down and resting. 
Batman 
5 minutes that we don’t have.
John 
What else are we supposed to do? We’re down two heavy hitters and a speedster. We need to get to full strength. 
Superman
Where- what happened? 
Martian Manhunter 
Your mind had been taken over. Welcome back Superman. 
Superman 
Oh God, did I-
Batman 
We took care of it. 
Superman 
Good.. good. What are you wearing? 
Everybody is silent. 
Batman 
Specialized armor made to battle threats far stronger than I am. 
Superman 
That was enough? To take me down? 
Again, silence. 
Batman 
Superman, listen- 
Superman 
What was in the suit? Oh my God.
Batman 
It was the only way. I couldn’t let you- 
Superman 
How long have you had it for? 
Batman is silent. 
Superman 
Get rid of it. 
Batman 
We’re about to go against one of the biggest threats we’ve ever seen. 
Superman 
Get rid of it. 
Batman and Superman stare at each other, uneasily. The moment is tense. 
Batman 
Alfred, call the batwing to my location. Retract the Hellbat armor. 
Alfred 
Of course, Master Wayne. 
Batman steps out of the armor as it opens from the back, the Batwing magnetically picks it up as it enters another capsule. It flies away.
Batman 
Happy? 
Superman 
Not nearly. 
Batman
Well we can talk about it after this is over. 
Diana begins to wake up. 
Wonder Woman 
What- what happened? 
The league stares at her, the scene cuts.
===Act II===
The scene cuts to a shot of the group in the middle of the street. The area is evacuated, Flash is stretching and trying to heal. 
Wonder Woman
By Hera. It was all so.. so.. 
Superman 
Tranquil. It’s strange, this was the closest I’ve felt at.. peace. 
Wonder Woman 
Like the songs of the siren. We need to stop this at its source, such an evil could control the entire galaxy much less the Earth. 
Batman 
Agreed. Flash, how are you feeling? 
Flash 
Better already. 
Batman 
Good. Lanterns, you can get us up there? 
Hal smirks 
Hal
You even have to ask? 
Hal and John carry two bubbles into space. Hal’s is filled with Batman and Flash, John’s is filled with Wonder Woman and Aquaman. J’onn and Superman fly besides them. 
Hal
You know, I could’ve made like a race car or a rocket ship or something. Didn’t literally have to be a bubble. 
Batman 
Focus on the mission, Lantern. The planet is right ahead. 
Superman 
Is that.. Betrassus. 
Martian Manhunter 
You’re familiar? 
Superman 
I’ve heard stories. One of the most famous royal kingdoms in the galaxy, one of the proudest civilizations. What has happened.. 
John 
One more reason on the “why we need to stop Starro” list. It’s a long list. 
Meanwhile, Aquaman and Diana speak in the bubble. They’ve been silent for most of the ride. 
Aquaman 
How have you been. 
Wonder Woman 
Like you care. 
Aquaman 
Diana, I do. Really. Listen, we left things off on- 
Wonder Woman 
I am not interested in reminiscing. We need to complete this mission and let it be the end of it. 
More silence. 
Wonder Woman 
I trusted you Arthur. 
Aquaman 
I know, Diana, and I’m hoping you can once more! 
Wonder Woman 
You don’t get it? I’m not falling for it again Arthur. I’m done trusting you. 
Martian Manhunter (Mental Link) 
We’ve arrived. 
Wide shot of the entire planet. Starro occupies an entire continent, and is visible from space. His eye is closed, he seems to be resting. 
Hal
Is he sleeping? 
Martian Manhunter 
I believe he is reserving his energy. Trying to gather it for something larger. 
They float above the surface of Betrassus, Diana flies while the Lanterns hold the remaining heroes in bubbles. 
John 
We shouldn’t step on the surface of the planet, Starro will feel the vibrations and turn us into those. 
John points at the standing cocoons on the planet. As he does, the planet begins to rumble. Starro speaks. 
Starro (Mental)
I can hear you. 
Martian Manhunter
What? But he’s-
Starro (Mental)
Rest? There is no need for me to rest. I feed off the desires of my prey, that is all the energy I will ever need. Today, heroes, today you will be my prey. 
Roots from the planet begin to strike at the Lantern bubbles, cracking them. One of them grabs Wonder Woman’s feet, she begins hacking at it with her sword. Superman and Martian Manhunter are both laser visioning other roots. 
Starro (Mental) 
Listen, listen to my sweet serenade. Everything you have ever wanted, made possible by me. Lost family, loved ones, worlds. They can all be restored. They can all be made whole again. 
The first to succumb is Superman, he is eventually placed in a cocoon and is retracted to the planet. His face is left open, with only a star to cover it. 
Diana 
Kal-El! 
Diana flies for Superman, but feels the effect too. She doesn’t go to sleep (neither did Superman), her eyes simply gaze as her body becomes motionless. The same thing happens to her. As Starro grows stronger, he cracks the bubbles. 
John 
Jesus Christ! What’s going on? 
Martian Manhunter
Wonder Woman and Superman have succumbed to his trap! They’re like all the others now
Batman grabs Aquaman as he falls, attempting to grapple away. Flash runs away from roots trying to grab him. Eventually, they are all caught and put to the same fate. 
Starro (Mental)
The last time that we met, Martian, you resisted my mental corruption. This time I plan on something more.. Physical than mental. 
Martian Manhunter is entirely grabbed by the roots of the planet, and dragged under a nearby volcano. Here, he can’t move due to his psychological weakness to fire and extreme heat. 
John 
J’onn! 
John and Hal both blast back roots, as some fall more take their place. They advance closer and closer. 
Starro (Mental)
Green Lanterns.. Stubborn as ever. 
John 
Hey Hal
Hal
Yeah John? 
John
Whatever happens, it’s been an honor. 
Hal 
We’re not going to die. We’re Green Lanterns. 
John 
Heh. Here’s hoping you’re right. 
John is grabbed by a root, and slowly succumbs. 
Hal is left alone, surrounded by roots, until he is finally grabbed. He does not succumb immediately, but he is weakening. 
Starro (Mental)
Tell me, Hal Jordan, why do you resist me so? 
Hal
Fuck.. you buddy…
Starro (Mental)
It would’ve been a fairy tale, Lantern. A dream land like all your friends, but in truth, I don’t think that’s what you want. I think what you want, and all you want, is your father back. 
Hal’s eyes open wide. 
Hal
Dad? 
Finally, he succumbs to the same fate. 
A young Hal Jordan is standing outside of an airstrip, cheering on his father as he flies. There, he meets a young Carol Ferris. 
Hal
Hey! That’s my dad up there! He’s in the airplane!
Carol
Yeah! Well my dad owns the airplane! 
Hal is unfazed, he continues to cheer as the little girl gets annoyed and walks back to her dad. Willard Ferris is on a radio, talking to air pilot Martin Jordan. 
Carol
Daddy! Daddy, that mean boy is ignoring me!
Willard
One second sweetheart. What’s the issue, Jordan? 
Martin
It’s the oil! It’s eating up real fast, Willard, I think that was my last torque pin gone! I don’t know how long this thing’s gonna last!
Willard
This is investor day, Jordan. Do you know what that means? We need you to- 
Martin
Listen to me! This thing is going down either right here or in Coast City, and right here nobody else gets hurt.
Willard
Twenty million dollars and our last seven years of development! That’s what you have up in the air, Martin! Think of your wife! Think of Hal, he’s watching you right now! You think he wants to see his daddy go up in flames? Keep it up Jordan!
Martin contemplates this and sighs, having already made up his mind. 
Martin 
Willard, make sure my boy’s taken care of. 
Willard
Martin, wait!- 
Suddenly, the radio cuts off as Martin performs a nosedive right for the pavement. The crowd is shocked and Hal is both confused and terrified. At the last minute, he’s saved by a glowing green construct hand catching the plane and landing it safely. Martin gets out of the jet, shocked, and the Lantern is revealed to be Abin Sur. He shakes his hand and helps him out, and then flies back off into the sky. Hal watches the green streak in the sky, amazed. 
Fast forward 10 years, Hal is in his room playing space invaders. Hal’s little brother, Jim, enters his room. 
Jim 
Can I play? 
Hal
Not right now Jim, I’m trying to beat my high score
Jim
Right. Well Mom’s been looking for you, dinner’s ready and.. Jack’s home. 
Hal 
Pass. 
Jim
Please, Hal? You know this is really important to mom. 
Hal 
Because he’s her favorite. 
Jim 
You.. you really think so? 
Hal
Jim I didn’t mean it like that- yeah I’ll be down soon. I’m starving anyways
Jim smiles as he leaves the room. Hal heads downstairs, and his Mom (Jessica) is swarming around Jack as he brings his bags in. 
Jessica
Hal, dear! Jack is back, isn’t this wonderful? 
Hal
Hey Jack.
Jack 
Little Harry! It’s been a minute kiddo.
Hal
(Sighs) Welcome back, Jack. Would love to continue this but I’m starving. How’s the food mom? 
The Jordan family is now at the dinner table, with Jessica finishing up and serving Jim last. 
Jim
Food looks delicious mom.
Jessica
Thank you sweetie. So Jack, tell us all about law school. 
Jack
God, where do I start? Well, it’s a lot of work but we knew that before we got into-
Hal zones out of the conversation, focusing on the empty chair at the dinner table. He has momentary flashbacks to when he was a kid staring at the planes, the jet almost crashing, Abin Sur saving Martin’s life. Hal has an outburst and cuts off Jack’s conversation. 
Hal
When’s Dad coming home? 
Jack 
Rude.
Jessica 
Now, now, Jack. He’s running late, but he’ll be here Hal. 
Hal
He’s always running late.
Jessica 
Your father is a very busy man, you know this Hal. 
Hal
Too busy to eat with his family? 
Jessica
Hal!
Hal
No mom I mean it! Jack came home from Berkley and he’s still not here! It’s Jack!
Jack 
Jesus, Hal, are you always like this at dinner? No wonder Dad doesn’t like coming here. 
Jessica
Jack!
Jim
Guys, can we just-
Hal
You know what, douchebag? 
Jack
What Hal? Ever since I came back you’ve been acting like a jerk
Hal
And you’ve been acting like a pretentious asshole ALL MY LIFE. 
The family is silent around the table. 
Hal
I’m going on a drive. 
Jessica
Hal, wait!
Hal leaves the house and slams the door.
Jessica
Jimmy, dear. Please go talk to your brother. 
Hal is in the driver’s seat of his truck, and Jim runs up to the passenger’s window
Jim
Hal, wait!
Hal
What do you want. 
Jim
Please, don’t go. Mom’s been planning this forever, and we’re all really excited to have Jack back. 
Hal
We? I can’t sit next to that guy for another minute. 
Jim
Hal, please? For mom? 
Hal takes a pause. 
Hal
Sorry, Jim. Not doing it. 
Jim is saddened and Hal notices this. 
Hal
Hey, uh, do you wanna have some fun? 
The brothers drive through a neighborhood, speeding. 
Hal
Alright, Jim, you’re gonna take that baseball bat, and everytime you see a mailbox you’re gonna hit it as hard as you can. 
Jim
Are you sure about this?
Hal
Of course I am, I do it all the time! Just lean a little out the window and smash them! Oh, and keep your seatbelt on!
Jim 
Oh- okay!
Jim leans out of the window, and the truck approaches a mailbox. He takes the bat and smashes it down. 
Hal
Good shit Jim! Just like that! Hit another one!
Jim
Hal, I really don’t know about this-
Hal 
Just trust me! 
Jim crushes another mailbox, and starts laughing, so does Hal. 
Hal
See? It’s fun! We’re having fun!
Jim keeps smashing mailboxes and the duo keeps laughing, until Jim notices blue and red lights flashing in the windshield
Jim
Uh, Hal? 
Suddenly, the siren begins to play
Hal
Damn. 
Hal pulls over the truck, and the cop heads to his window. 
Cop
You wanna explain what exactly you boys were doing?
Hal gives a nervous chuckle while Jim sits down completely petrified. 
At the police precinct, Hal and Jim wait for their mom to come pick them up. Hal’s mom walks in with Jack, and Jim runs right to his mother and hugs her, his face hidden in her stomach. Jack looks over at Hal with anger. 
Jack
Nice one, asshole. 
Hal looks down in disappointment, until he hears a familiar voice. 
Martin
Son, we need to talk.
Outside of the precinct, Martin and Hal speak while their family waits in the car. 
Hal 
Nice of you to show up. 
Martin
Son, I’m sorry I can’t be as home as much as I might want to be, but that is no excuse for you to act like this. 
Hal 
Tsh. As much as you want to be- I mean do you even want to be here? You too ashamed of your screw up son? 
Martin
You are not a screw up. 
Hal
Really, because somehow Jack finds a way to remind me every time that we meet. 
Martin
This is not about Jack. Hell, this isn’t even about me! This is about your delinquent behaviour, and how we’re going to fix it!
Hal
Gee, I dunno Dad! Let me find a good father to ask! 
Martin
YOUNG MAN!
Hal
What? Young man what? I see you around the house maybe three times a month Dad. You don’t even know me enough to punish me!
Martin
DAMNIT HAL! I’ve been trying to keep my temper, but you’ve pushed me too far! You’ve constantly taken advantage of your mother, your brothers, and my kindness! Starting Monday you’re going to pack your bags, because you’re being sent to Coast City Bootcamp!
Hal
What? Bootcamp- what are you talking about?
Martin
Whatever issues you have with me or your brother are going to be RESOLVED before you come home. And when you do come home, you’ll be an upstanding citizen, and not this, this BRAT! You will be somebody that I’m PROUD to call my son!
Hal takes a pause, digesting the information
Hal
Brat?
Martin
That’s not what I meant. 
Hal
Proud to call your son. What, I’m not worthy right now? 
Martin
Hal, listen to me-
Hal
No! No, why should I! You’ve been gone the past month and a half, and suddenly you just drop into my life screaming about bootcamp! I was doing fine without you!
Martin
CLEARLY THAT WASN’T THE CASE!
Hal scowls at his father, turns around and walks away. 
Martin
Hal! HAL! HAL!
Hal keeps walking, away from the sounds of his father and the precinct. He ends up in a nearby bus station, sleeping on one of the chairs. 
Clerk
Departure for Mesa, Arizona, arriving in two minutes. 
Hal wakes up, and heads for the arriving bus. As he waits, his family’s car pulls up and his father jumps out.
Martin
Hal! Hal, how the hell did you end up over here? This is the opposite end of the city!
Hal 
Took a bus.
Martin
Hal, listen, come home! Please, just forget what’s happened today, I will make more time for you! Your mother is worried sick! 
The bus arrives at the station
Martin
Hal! Please!
Hal 
I’ll see you later, Dad. 
Hal steps on the bus, and it leaves for Arizona as his family watches devastated. 
Hal arrives at a NASA outpost, hoping to get a job. He speaks with the man hiring there. 
Clerk 
Hm, you graduate high school? 
Hal
Yes sir. 
Clerk
Says here you quit your last job at Big Belly Burger. Got bored? 
Hal
No sir, I moved. 
Clerk 
Really? Where from? 
Hal
Uh Coast City, California sir. 
Clerk 
That’s a long way to move from son. 
Hal
Yeah I just had to get.. out
Clerk 
(Sighs) Listen, I just don’t know if we- 
Hal
Wait! Wait, please! I can do anything you need me to, paperwork, cleaning, hell I can be your mailman! Anything you need 
(Pause) 
Clerk
You wanna be an astronaut one day kid? 
Hal
That’s the end goal sir. 
Clerk 
Alright then ya sonuvabitch, you’re hired. 
Hal shakes his hand 
Hal 
You won’t regret it sir. 
Fast forward 7 years later, Hal is now 25 years old working the desk at the Space Station. He goes home to his apartment, bored of his job and waiting for the chance to become an Astronaut, that chance comes in the mail. 
He opens it and reads a letter that says “Welcome to the Interceptor XI, Hal Jordan”
Hal smirks. 
Hal
It’s about damn time. 
The next day at work, Hal looks for somebody to show him what he needs to do to become an astronaut, he finds his boss Mr. Kevin Ambler. 
Hal
Mr. Ambler! 
Mr. Ambler
Hal! Somebody’s waiting for you down the hall, she said she wanted to speak to you? 
Hal
She? She hot? 
Mr. Ambler 
Just get down the hallway, Jordan. Oh- and congratulations.
Hal walks down the hallway to see a businesswoman standing there for him, waiting. 
Hal
Hello, and who may I have the pleasure of speaking to? 
Carol
Carol. Carol Ferris, Ferris Aircrafts. 
Hal
Well Carol- wait, wait Carol? 
Carol
Hey Hal. It’s been a while. 
Hal
Yeah, like 17 years! I haven’t seen you since the Green Light incident
Carol
Yeah, it has been some time hasn’t it. Anyways, I started to wonder about you-
Hal
Oh?
Carol
Not like that. Anyways, I heard you weren’t living in Coast City anymore, then I went to check on your parents.. they’re worried sick Hal. 
Hal
Jesus, they really did a number on you 
Carol
It’s not an act Hal, they’re serious. 
Hal
And I seriously don’t care, I’m not going back to Coast City. 
Carol
Which is what I figured, so to alleviate their tension I promised I would make life as good here for you as I can. They told me you loved astronomy and aliens and I found out that you work here, a space station that Ferris Industries GENEROUSLY funds 
Hal
Wait so, you’re the one who- 
Carol
Yes. I pulled some strings and, well you’ll be co-piloting our Ferris Aircraft Interceptor on its way to the moon. You’ll be looking for precious materials, anything that’s sustainable. 
Hal
Jesus Christ, Carol I don’t know what to say
Carol
Don’t worry about it. But uh, call your parents Hal. Please, let them know you’re okay. You of all people should know how short life might be. 
Carol walks away, and Hal stands there conflicted. He takes out his flip phone, and he sees Dad right there as a contact. He’s close to pushing the button, but he can’t, and he walks away. 
2 years later, Hal has completed his astronaut training. He’s in the interceptor as it’s ready to launch into space, piloting the ship is Guy Gardner, and the rest of the crew consists of Hank and Terry Henshaw. 
Guy
Liftoff in 5..4..3..2.. and we have liftoff boys and girl. 
The rocket launches up into the sky, with a crowd of people cheering. You can see Carol on the ground smiling, and the Jordans watch the launch on the news at their house, still proud of their son. 
As they break into space, they release the rockets and are only in the shuttle. 
Guy 
And we’ve broken through the atmosphere. Lady and gents, welcome to space. 
Hal
Jesus Christ, it’s- it’s beautiful
Hank 
You said it. This is my 4th time here, still can’t get over it. 
Carol (Comms)
How are you guys holding up? 
Guy 
Just fine Ms. Ferris, we broke atmosphere and here heading for the moon now. 
Carol (Comms) 
Thank you all. Please, remember to be mindful of asteroids, satellites and obstructions of the sort. 
Hal
Aw, you care about me Carol? 
Carol (Comms) 
I care about your 3 other crewmates and that $26 million rocket you’re flying in. Babysit Hal for me you guys, would ya? 
Terry
Don’t even worry Ms. Ferris, we’ve got that under control. 
Carol (Comms) 
Great. Well, I’ve got to get going. Good luck. 
Carol switches off the Comms. 
Hal 
So.. are we there yet? 
Guy
Funny, we got about 3 more days Jordan. 
Hal 
I’ve got some sleep to catch up on anyways. 
The ship travels through space, moving slowly until it gets to the moon, where Guy is able to land it. They open the door with their suits on. 
Guy 
One small step for man..
They alll walk behind Guy as they explore the moon. 
Hal
Wow. 
Hank 
You can say that again. Come on fellas, let’s get to the mission. 
They mine at moon rocks and use tools to measure the amount of water inside of them, also looking for precious minerals. The day ends and they haven’t found anything yet. 
Hal
Jesus Christ, I’m exhausted. How do you guys do it? 
Terry 
We take it one step at a time.
Guy 
I keep my mind on the paycheck. 
Hal 
Heh. Both good advice. How long are we here for again?
Hank
About 4 months. 
Hal
Sounds fun. 
An unspecified amount of time goes by, the astronauts journey further into the moon. Suddenly, Hank’s leg gets caught by a crevice
Hank
Guys! Guys, I need some help here! 
Guy
Hold on, Hank, we’re coming! 
The crew try to help Hank out of the crevice, but they all end up falling down a hole. They get up to find a massive cave
Terry 
Hanky? Hank are you okay? 
Hank
Yeah, yeah I’m fine. But uh- where are we? 
Hal
Funny. I was just about to ask you. 
Guy 
Flashlights on if you have em guys. 
They each turn their flashlights on. 
Guy 
Follow me, we’re going to see what’s over that way, it might be an exit. And don’t split up. 
The crew walk through the cave, stumbling for what seems like hours. 
Hal
We need to take a rest Guy. 
Guy 
In a minute, just- woah. What is that? 
Guy sees a glowing green light, and the rest of the crew notices it too. 
Hank 
Should we really be walking towards that? 
Hal 
Only one way to find out.. 
In the lead, Hal and Guy walk towards the source of the green light, and they find a dead alien in a spaceship: Abin Sur. 
Guy 
What the hell..
Hal
Is that a- oh God
Hal has flashbacks to the alien saving his father. 
Hal 
No- no. 
Guy 
Hal? Is everything okay? 
Hal
Yeah, just. Yeah. Let’s take a closer look. 
The duo step closer, and the ring on his finger begins to levitate.
Guy 
Is that a.. a ring? 
Finally, it starts to fly and chooses Guy. Guy is transformed into a Green Lantern, much to Hal’s surprise
Guy 
What’s.. what’s going on? 
Hal
I don’t- just wow. 
Suddenly, Hal hears a voice in his head.
Abin Sur 
Hal. 
He turns towards the body, it’s lips aren’t moving but it’s voice is speaking. 
Abin Sur
Wake up Hal. Wake up. You are not yet finished. Wake up.
Hal snaps awake, hidden in his cocoon, his green light pierces through the cocoon, and he uses it to melt the cocoons off the other leaguers, severely weakening Starro in the process. 
Starro 
AGHHHHHH
Flash
What the- what’s going on? 
Hal
No time to explain, Superman travel to the core and find J’onn, we need to end this. 
Superman 
On it. 
Superman flies up and crashes straight into the crust of the planet, on his way to find MM. 
Starro
You FOOLS! I give you all lives you couldn’t DREAM to even comprehend
Aquaman 
A facade!
Starro
You wouldn’t have even NOTICED! IF YOU HAD JUST STAYED PUT! 
Starro tries to crush the members with his tentacle, they narrowly avoid this. Superman comes back up with a weakened MM.
John
J’onn! Is he okay?
Martian Manhunter 
I’m fine, I will be fine. 
Batman
Good because we need to focus on Starro 
Aquaman
Well what’s the plan? 
Wonder Woman
We aim for his eye! 
Flash
What’s to stop him from taking our minds again? 
Hal
He’s been weakened by whatever I did, if he could do it again he would right now
Superman 
Then we have no time to waste. We do this and we do this now.
===Act III===
As Starro attacks with his tentacle, the league does what they can to Pierce his skin. Swords, laser vision, projectiles, etc. 
Aquaman 
It’s no good, the damn thing keeps regenerating! 
Wonder Woman
I can solve that. 
She jumps in the air and flies straight for his eye, before she can get there he shields it with a tentacle. 
Starro
I am too fast for the likes of you nitwits. There is no defeating me, soon I will have complete psychic control over the galaxy. 
Superman 
I hear something.. crumbling off the planet! 
Superman flies up to see chunks of the planet falling towards Earth. 
Superman
Giant chunks of mountains are being hurled at the Earth! We need to stop it now! 
Batman 
John, Martian Manhunter, go help Clark protect the Earth! 
John 
But what about here? 
Batman 
If those rocks hit Earth then all this would be for nothing! Now go! 
They fly towards Superman as they head back for Earth. 
Batman 
Flash! See how fast you can reach his eye! 
Flash 
You got it! 
The Flash runs up his tentacle, there’s a slow mo scene of Flash jumping towards his eye with his fist out, but Starro literally blinks before Flash can reach it. Flash runs back to report it. 
Flash
Just one second. 
Flash does the same thing but faster, Starro still blocks it. He runs back. 
Flash
Okay last try
He tries it again, at the speed of light, gets blocked again.
Flash
He’s reacting faster than I can get there. 
Batman
Then we need to pry the eye open. Hal? 
Green Lantern
Got it. 
While Hal goes to pry his eye open, Aquaman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Flash each fight against the attacking tentacles, looking for ways to pierce them. 
Meanwhile, Superman, Martian Manhunter, and John are all finding ways to keep the Earth from being destroyed by Betrassan rocks. Superman flies through one of them, destroying it entirely, John catches the debris and aims it towards the sun. He then redirects another rock towards the Sun. Martian Manhunter shapeshifts around a rock and crushes it into dust. They keep doing this until an especially large one comes for them. 
Martian Manhunter (Mental Link)
Establishing a mental link, do we have a plan for that one? 
Green Lantern (Mental Link)
It’s the size of Texas! How would we move it?
Superman (Mental Link)
Together. John, get behind it and pull with a construct. J’onn and I will push it towards you. 
Green Lantern (Mental Link)
You got it.
They all go along with the plan, struggling with pushing and pulling. 
Green Lantern (Mental Link)
I don’t know… how well this is going to (straining).. Work!
Martian Manhunter (Mental Link)
I have to.. Agree!
Superman (Mental Link)
Aim… aim for the sun!
They all push the rock for the Sun, and it causes a giant explosion that Lantern shields them all from.
Green Lantern (Mental Link)
How are we doing? 
Superman (Mental Link)
We’re fine, quick thinking John
Martian Manhunter (Mental Link)
Quickly, we must return to Betrassus and help the others!
On Betrassus, Hal is struggling to get close to the eye without a tentacle trying to hit him. 
Hal
I can’t get close!
Batman
Then we need to strap down the tentacles, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, hold him down! Flash, run around and look for any openings!
Flash begins to run. 
Aquaman
That won’t work, there’s only the two of us!
Wonder Woman
I have to agree, I don’t see how we beat him alone! 
Batman 
We don’t! We’re stalling until the cavalry arrives. 
Flash lands back at Batman.
Flash
The eye is the only way, everywhere else is armored
Batman
Then we continue with the plan. Looks like it won’t take us very long.
Batman points up, and the trio saving the Earth return. They land near Batman, debriefing him.
Batman
I assume the Earth is safe? 
Superman
Every single asteroid accounted for.
Batman
Good. John you need to go help Hal pry open Starro’s eye, you two need to help pin down his tentacles, and set up a mental link J’onn. 
Hal is in the air still narrowly dodging the tentacle swipes, Superman flies for one and holds it down, Martian does with the other too. John flies up towards Hal to help pry the eye open. 
Hal 
About time
John
Heh. Shut up rook. 
The two successfully hold the eye lid open, inserting light through the closed eyelid and forcing it open. 
Starro 
No! What are you doing!
Batman
Flash! Now!
Flash runs up the monster and stomps on his open eye, Starro shrieks. He falls down, no longer reactive. 
Batman (Mental Link)
Wonder Woman, take the sword and-
Aquaman (Mental Link)
She’s way ahead of you
Wonder Woman 
AHHHH!!!!!!! (Warrior cry)
She drives her sword in the eye of Starro, officially killing him. 
Starro
fools... starro is… starro is eternal…
Superman flies around lasering the underback of Starro, removing his grip from the planet. He simply floats off into space, a dead carcass. The cocoons begin to melt off all the people on the planet. 
The heroes stand around each other, triumphant. 
Flash
So.. we did it. 
Superman
We have. 
Two weeks pass, the Earth is rebuilt from the damage. Betrassus is back in it’s own solar system. The Green Lantern Corps helps to rebuild Betrassus, Hal and John are celebrated on Oa. Back on Earth, Bruce Wayne drives to an empty white museum type building. The rest of the league meets him there. 
Bruce Wayne
Welcome.
Superman and Wonder Woman smirk. 
Hal
Who’s this guy? Batman told us to meet him here. 
Flash
That’s Bruce Wayne, he’s like the richest guy in Gotham City. 
Aquaman
That doesn’t much explain what he’s doing here. 
Bruce 
From now on, I’ll be funding this team, every mission, every cost will be on me for the uh.. Superman, what did you call us?
Superman
The Justice League. 
Bruce
The Justice League. Follow me inside if you all will. 
They walk inside the giant building, it has displays of all of their adventures and costumes. They get to a back wall, and Bruce puts his hand on a sensor. The wall opens, revealing a meeting room. 
Bruce
Welcome to our HQ. I think Superman called it the Hall of Justice. 
John
Listen, this is all very generous, but why do you keep saying we? Us, where is this coming from? And where’s Batman?
Bruce 
I guess I keep my identity too well. It’s me, I’m Batman. 
Flash, and Hal look at him then burst into tears.
Hal
There’s no way you’re Batman dude!
Bruce 
J’onn, probe my mind.
Martian Manhunter
He tells the truth. This is the Batman.
Flash
Holy- you gotta teach me how you do it. 
Aquaman
Listen, this is all great, but I’m not here to make this a commonality. I need to get back to my Kingdom, I have no time for a League. 
Martian Manhunter 
And I into space. I need to find my people, my place is not on this planet. 
Batman
I thought you two would say something like that. How about provisional membership? We call on you during emergencies, and you aren’t required to show up. But appreciated. No meetings or debriefings or anything like that. 
Aquaman
Then I would be honored. 
Martian Manhunter
As would I. 
Batman
Good. Who else needs a provisional membership?
John
I do.
Hal
John? What, you’re quitting too?
John 
I’m not quitting, you didn't just hear the guy? There’s enough Lanterns on Earth, one of us needs to protect the rest of this sector. I trust you Hal. 
Hal smiles. 
Hal
Okay, but we’re operating here? Aren’t we a super secret private strike force? 
Batman 
John and Superman volunteered to work on that. Computer, display the Watchtower. 
The computer shows a holographic display of the watchtower.  
Superman
It’s a space satellite that serves as our true base of operations, while we use this one as a.. Well a front. 
Flash
That’s not kinda shady?
John
As long as it keeps the bad guys off your backs. 
Wonder Woman
This is nice, Bruce, but we should get going. 
Batman
You’re right. Let’s get going. 
The League stands on stage in front of a crowd of cheering Americans, being awarded by Defense Secretary Snapper Carr. With their medals of victory, on, Carr introduces them.
Carr
These heroes, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, the Green Lanterns, Superman, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter have saved us from impending doom. Please, give a round of applause for.. The Justice League!
The crowd cheers. 
In space, John and Hal speak. 
Hal
How’s construction going?
John
It’s coming along, really is. Never built a huge space base before but I’ve seen more complex. Built more complex. How’s the league?
Hal
It’s good. We just elected Wonder Woman as our Chairwoman and Superman as our ambassador. I think she deserves it, she’s been active in this hero thing for who knows how long. Plus she’s pretty hot. 
John
Ha! Yeah, you’re gonna have to get through Aquaman for that. 
Hal
Fishguy? Please. Hey uh.. John when we were on Betrassus, you know in our comas, Starro put me in some reality where my Dad never died. I became an astronaut, I saw Abin Sur die again. 
John
Jesus Christ..
Hal
No but listen, the ring didn’t come to me, it came to some dude named Guy Gardner.. Who the hell is Guy Gardner?
End of Movie. 
===Mid-Credit Scene===
The League sits in the Hall of Justice meeting room. 
Wonder Woman
I officially call this meeting to action. What’s going on Bruce? 
Batman
Three members, powerhouses all of them, they left the team. We are now at five, we don't have enough guaranteed numbers. We need to do some recruiting. 
Batman (Narration)
We need warriors. 
In a Lab, Dr. Ray Palmer experiments on his size changing belt, tweaking it. Flash arrives in the lab, at super-speed, the doctor is shocked. 
Batman (Narration)
Champions. 
Green Arrow is at a target range, destroying multiple robots with a bow. Green Lantern floats behind him. 
Batman (Narration)
Those who fight the good fight. 
Hawkman and Hawkwoman have just saved some children from a rampaging truck, apprehending the driver. They see Batman perched upon a rooftop. 
The scene switches back to Batman talking in the Hall.
Batman 
We need to rebuild the Justice League.
