Justice League: Origin (Part I)

"**Justice League: Origin (Part I)**" is the first episode of the first season of *Justice League*, and the first episode overall. It aired on 2023.

## Plot

In deep space at the Polaris system, the planet Thanagar is under attack by an alien starfish capable of devastating psychic abilities. As smaller, spore-like versions of the attacker begin latching onto fleeing Thanagarians, its military force's counterattack buys them time to reverse-engineer the Absorbascon, a psychic translator device, to repel the invader and save their planet. The invader itself, identified as a Star Conqueror named Starro, abandons Thanagar, setting a course that takes Starro to Earth.

On Earth, Metropolis is being ransacked by major thefts masterminded by Toyman and Prankster, whose crime spree puts them once again on Superman's radar. While bickering over their exit plan, Superman is able to catch them off-guard, disarming and then remanding them to the authorities before flying off; Toyman and Prankster inform arriving news crews that their arrest was unjustified as they're being taken to prison. Lois Lane, among the many journalists at the scene, witnesses Superman leave before texting Clark Kent to meet her at the *Daily Planet*. After changing in super-speed inside a phone box, Clark responds to her text and calls his adoptive parents, Martha and Jonathan.

Across the river, in Gotham City, vigilantes Batman and Robin are chasing their archnemesis, the Joker, through the city while being chased by G.C.P.D. police vehicles; the Joker has hijacked a service van rigged with explosives and is heading for the city's electric grid. Gaining on the Joker thanks to the technical prowess of the Batmobile, the Dynamic Duo are able to cut off the Clown Prince of Crime, but the Joker reveals a detonator in his hand. Before he has a chance to flip the switch though, Batman remotely activates the Batmobile's taser, which disables their foe. The G.C.P.D. arrive soon after, and Commissioner Jim Gordon has his officers take the Joker away as Batman and Robin return to the Batcave, their headquarters, where resident butler and confidant Alfred Pennyworth greets them. Various trophies and memorabilia are seen across the cave, taken from their many previous exploits. Discussing the Joker's defeat, Batman is alerted by a distress call from the Batcomputer before suiting up once again.

Meanwhile, at a hanger in Washington, D.C., U.S. Air Force major Steve Trevor is impatiently waiting for Wonder Woman to arrive for an important meeting with their superior Gen. Phil Darnell. Having been with a foe named Angle Man, who is equipped with a powerful teleporting "Angler", Wonder Woman finally arrives in her invisible jet, alongside their close ally Priv. Etta Candy. As the trio head to General Darnell's office, they debate over the nature of the meeting and unknowningly pass by test pilot Hal Jordan.

Hal returns to Coast City to reunite with fellow Ferris Aircraft co-worker Tom Kalmaku and childhood sweetheart-turned-boss Carol Ferris, who demands answers from Hal regarding his trip to D.C.. Hal promises to catch her up to speed, but the United States Air Force requires him for a special mission; Hal then slips on his Green Lantern ring, leaving an irritated Carol to take care of her duties.

Forensic scientist Barry Allen is racing across his lab at the Central City Police Department, discreetly concocting chemical tests away from view of security cameras, when he notices police officers rushing outside to their vehicles and a news report on television revealing that Central City Park is under attack from Gorilla Grodd, a super-intelligent gorilla and foe of local hero the Flash. Barry then rushes out, putting on his Flash costume via his emblem ring, to confront Grodd; arriving at the scene, Flash attempts to cool the situation as Grodd rampages throughout the park, but Barry is forced to battle the out-of-control Grodd to subdue his rampage. The two fight across Central City, and the Flash unleashes tornadoes from his arms to trap Grodd. Police squad cars fruitlessly pursue them, though Flash is able to use his super-speed to draw oxygen from Grodd, eventually enabling him to pass out. While the police eventually catch up to the scene, Barry privately muses how Grodd ended up this way before carting him off for interrogation; the arriving officers then vent angrily about how pointless their chase was and radio back to stand down.

The Central City Picture News is seen reporting on the battle between the Flash and Grodd on television as Clark Kent helps Lois Lane through a rough draft of her article concerning Superman's recent exploit. Clark then picks up unusual activity through his super-hearing at LexCorp, forcing him to excuse himself and change into his costume to investigate. As he flies to the tower, Superman uses his visual-based abilities (x-ray and microscopic) to look ahead, shocked upon realising the cause of the ruckus is his infamous flawed clone Bizarro, who was created by Lex Luthor. LexCorp security are seen struggling to handle Bizarro's rampage, and Luthor is nowhere to be seen. Superman tackles Bizarro and flies him out of the city to prevent further damage; the two exchange blows, Bizarro unleashes a flurry of powers opposite to Superman's -- heat-breath, ice-vision, etc. -- before breaking down before the Man of Steel. Superman believes that someone has forced Bizarro into his rage, and promises to help him recover at the Fortress of Solitude with plans to find the one responsible.

Off the coast of Amnesty Bay, the human-Atlantean hero Aquaman, also known as Arthur Curry, evacuates an oil rig that's caught on fire, using his telepathy with aquatic life to enlist their aid, and preventing the ongoing disaster from seeping oil into the ocean. Despite his best efforts, Aquaman notices that his aquatic allies are no longer responding to his calls and have begun dispursing, much to his confusion; Aquaman then searches for Topo the Octopus, the only non-human ally who may know what's causing the commotion, before finding him wrapped around a Russian submarine, close to crushing the inhabitants inside. Aquaman tries to reason with his eight-tentacled friend before noticing a starfish on Topo; an eye opens from the centre.

Veteran detective John Jones is returning from patrol in Middleton, Colorado with a passenger handcuffed to the back. He hands off the passanger upon arriving at the police department and enters Captain Harding's office, who informs John that he has to take some vacation time as per regulation. John voices his protests but eventually takes the time off, returning to his car. As he drives, John receives a signal emanating from the dashboard; just then, John parks in a field, where he suddenly transforms upon stepping out, revealing himself as the Green Martian J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter. J'onn uses his psychic abilities to trace the signal from his car and flies off to pursue the source.

Diana and Steve are still in Darnell's office for their briefing; Darnell informs them that Diana's archenemy Baroness Paula von Gunther has been sighted in the D.C. area. Diana believes that Paula has revealed herself to them on purpose and resolves to speak one-on-one with her, but Steve voices his skepticism. Nevertheless, the two plus Etta return to the jet to find her.

Batman and Robin arrive at the location of the distress call, revealed to be Arkham Asylum. The staff are unable the contain the chaotic situation, with inmates running rampant and unaffected by any attempts to subdue them. The Dynamic Duo lay down tear gas and other control methods, but realise nothing's happening as the affliction begins spreading to Arkham staff too; as they're forced to fight their way into the building, Batman theorises that they're dealing with a viral infection and has Robin keep watch as he investigates within. Batman finds the hallways and cells deserted until several of his enemies, Two-Face, Penguin, Scarecrow, Riddler and Mad Hatter reveal themselves, surrounding him. Assuming the recently imprisoned Joker to be behind the riot, Batman orders them to stand down, receiving no reply. The group of foes then lunge at him in the same manner of frenzy as those outside, forcing Batman to disarm and trap them in a cell. Robin, having heard the commotion, returns to Batman's side asking if the Joker is behind the attack, but Batman is unsure. The two endeavour to venture further into the asylum, hoping to find the remaining missing inmates as well as answers regarding the outbreak. Outside, Commissioner Gordon cordons off the perimeter, walking over a manhole cover that's been only slightly shifted to one side; within the tunnels underground, a growing number of the same alien starfishes are seen.

Aquaman is taking Topo across the Atlantic, where he attempts to pry the starfish off his friend to no avail. Instead, Arthur searches Topo's mind for anything that can help explain what happened. He initially comes up empty until a painful image of a city-sized starfish looming over Earth's population appears, depicting them all with miniature-sized starfishes on their face and seemingly in a trance. Arthur then snaps back to focus, realising that whatever he did allowed the starfish latched onto Topo to finally fall off and die, though Topo himself is still unconscious. Aquaman then scours the Atlantic for any other similar threats.

Hal is recalling the details of his Air Force mission: satellite imagery showed an unknown object landing into the Atlantic Ocean, and Hal must fly over and pilot an underwater jet to find and retreive the object in secret. However, Hal also contacts the Guardians of the Universe, protectors of everything within the universe, who haved warned him that the object of his mission may be an alien threat, with his power ring to update them. Hal remains dismissive of the Guardians' warnings as he pilots the jet underwater. He slips on his ring, leaving the jet on autopilot, to begin navigating the ocean below, unaware that he isn't alone.

Paula von Guther is waiting at a warehouse, where Diana and her friends arrive. Steve is still wary about the situation while Etta watches their back. Diana and Paula face each other, where the former demands to know why the latter revealed herself to them. Paula explains that since they last saw each other, she's built a network of spies across the globe in her personal hunt for Themyscira, a "Paradise Island" home to Diana and her Amazon kin. Despite being yet unable to locate the elusive island, Paula instead caught wind of various "starfish" reports and decided to hire Angle Man, who then disappeared only to end up fighting Wonder Woman; she further reveals that Angle Man is one of many examples of an affliction sending the likes of Grodd, Bizarro and the Arkham inmates into a frenzied state. Steve interjects to question the veracity of her claims as well as her motives, but Paula simply ignores him and reminds Diana of their history together, appealing to her sense of compassion. Diana decides to trust Paula, much to Steve's chagrin, and the Baroness shows them footage of starfishes attacking people during one of her many ordeals in finding Diana's home. Paula affirms that if they do not join forces, then Earth may be overrun; Steve points out that it also means Paula would become powerless to continue her question, though Diana confesses that this is a big enough problem to involve both sides. She then asks Paula to guide them to the location of the starfishes.

Superman is busy treating Bizarro at the Fortress, where his cousin Kara Zor-El and canine Krypto the Superdog is staying, with Kara having recently crash-landed on Earth herself as the last-surviving daughter of the House of El and Krypto sometime during Clark's childhood. Kara remarks on Bizarro's appearance, to which Superman explains that he's a flawed clone made from remnant of his DNA, created by Lex Luthor in one of his many attempts to undermine, replace or destroy the Man of Steel. He further states that while Bizarro is usually unstable due to his genetic structure, his recent rampage was kick-started by something else unrelated to him, as Bizarro twistedly believes himself to be the "true" Superman and thus usually focuses on those close to Superman. Superman asks Kara if she can watch over Bizarro while he traces his clone's last steps, starting with his longtime foe Lex.

Grodd is locked up in Gorilla City after being remanded to the custody of their leader, Solovar. Barry tries to question Grodd, but the aftermath of his rampage has left him unresponsive. Having procured one of the many starfishes cropping up from the super-intelligent primate, Barry then makes a return to his lab in Central City to run tests on the creature.

Batman and Robin continue to venture into the heart of Arkham as they notice more and more unusual behaviour. Alfred attemps to contact them with new information, but his signal is too weak to understand this far down the asylum. Robin takes the call to the roof while Batman presses on, where Alfred reveals that the source of the outbreak and rioting is due to something contaminating the plumbing system underground. Robin then makes his way back to Batman only to come face-to-face with the Joker.

Lex is working on a secret project while talking to someone on speaker. Upon seeing Superman arrive, Lex immediately shuts down his office and disconnects the call, already aware of what his enemy is about to accuse him of. Lex wryly tells him that he had nothing to do with Bizarro's return, but Superman reveals that he knows Lex has been keeping him in stasis somewhere and that he holds an idea of what happened. Instead, Lex demands that he return Bizarro to him as his company's property, implying that he can find the clone through a trace signature of radiation. Superman then realises that Lex has already sent out a squad to find and capture him, threatening the secrecy of both the Fortress and his cousin; just then, Superman leaves in a hurry, and Lex's tension barely relaxes as he shuts a hidden drawer containing a Kryptonite-made ring.

Lex's hit-squad are following Bizarro's signature, but are suddenly taken out by Kara and Krypto before Superman arrives to warn her. The two agree to move Bizarro elsewhere to hide his presence from Lex. Superman informs his cousin that he's found a way to backtrace Bizarro using the same method, and that he's was being housed in a facility under the Atlantic, where Superman then flies off to so he can investigate.

Robin is saved from the Joker by Catwoman, the only remaining unaffected inmate, who then demands to see Batman.

Over the Atlantic Ocean, some of the heroes are about to unknowingly convene; Aquaman is outracing starfishes as he closes in on the source of the invasion; in the invisible jet, Wonder Woman is being guided by Paula over the same spot; Martian Manhunter and Superman are seen flying toward the source; Green Lantern Hal Jordan is unwittingly following Aquaman's steps as he notices the same flurry of starfishes, protected by the aura of willpower from his ring; the Flash is racing from Gorilla City and skims over the surface of the Atlantic waters as dead sea life begin bobbing up to the surface. The others notice it too and know they're in the right place. Somewhere buried under the surface bed of the Atlantic Ocean lies the same creature that attacked Thanagar: Starro the Conqueror, whose singular eye opens to signal the start of the invasion. Across Earth, countless numbers of Starro's starfish spores envelop major population areas, but an unnamed man in Happy Harbour, Rhode Island remains unaffected, preoccupied with snapping his fingers to the beat of a song in his car.
