Justice League:
Copy !req
2. When I was
an astronaut on Mars...
Copy !req
3. I survived an experience
which profoundly changed my life.
Copy !req
4. I propose a bold
new solution for peace.
Copy !req
5. With more missiles
being dismantled every day...
Copy !req
6. most of us will sleep better knowing
that Superman is watching over us.
Copy !req
7. Over the past few months...
Copy !req
8. I've detected security breaches in our
global deep-space monitoring network.
Copy !req
9. There's more to this than meets the eye.
Copy !req
10. We're getting reports that similar
objects have landed all around the world.
Copy !req
11. I am J'onn J'onzz.
Copy !req
12. - Our orders are to keep that freak here.
- But the world's security may be at stake.
Copy !req
13. That's why he'll never leave here alive.
Copy !req
14. Mother, forgive me.
Copy !req
15. It's them.
Copy !req
16. Stay down.
Copy !req
17. Behind you!
Copy !req
18. J'onn, are you—?
Copy !req
19. - Hang on.
- Get him to safety. I'll cover you.
Copy !req
20. - That was close.
- We're not safe yet. Look.
Copy !req
21. - What happened?
- Help has arrived.
Copy !req
22. Hawkgirl? What's she doing here?
Copy !req
23. Sorry I'm late.
There was an uprising near Rigel 9.
Copy !req
24. Allow me.
Copy !req
25. - Who's the rookie in the tiara?
- I'm not sure.
Copy !req
26. Thanks.
Copy !req
27. Hey, Bats!
Copy !req
28. I think you dropped this.
Copy !req
29. - Whoa. Where have you been all my life?
- Themyscira.
Copy !req
30. - Huh?
- The home of the Amazons.
Copy !req
31. I always thought it was merely a legend.
Copy !req
32. I assure you, it's as real as the ground
on which we stand.
Copy !req
33. I am Diana,
Princess of the Amazons.
Copy !req
34. Pinch me,
I must be dreaming.
Copy !req
35. Themyscira is protected by the gods.
Copy !req
36. But I could not idly stand by
while the rest of world was in danger.
Copy !req
37. It was lucky you showed up
when you did.
Copy !req
38. No. Not luck.
I telepathically summoned them.
Copy !req
39. I'm usually pretty quick on the uptake.
Copy !req
40. But would someone please tell me
what the heck is going on here?
Copy !req
41. So, J'onn J'onzz, you came from Mars
to warn us?
Copy !req
42. - This is just too weird.
- I've seen stranger things.
Copy !req
43. We first encountered them
a thousand of your Earth years ago.
Copy !req
44. It was a golden age.
Copy !req
45. Our Martian civilization was at the height
of its peace and prosperity.
Copy !req
46. And then they arrived.
Copy !req
47. Where they came from, no one knew.
Copy !req
48. But they were determined
to make our planet their own.
Copy !req
49. We Martians were peaceful people...
Copy !req
50. and the taking of any life
was abhorrent to us.
Copy !req
51. But we quickly learned
the ways of war.
Copy !req
52. For centuries, the battles raged on.
Copy !req
53. Every trace of our once-great civilization
was obliterated.
Copy !req
54. We fought valiantly...
Copy !req
55. but the invaders were parasites
who fed on our psychic energy.
Copy !req
56. As we grew weaker,
they grew stronger.
Copy !req
57. They even absorbed
our shape-changing abilities.
Copy !req
58. Finally, a small group of Martian survivors
planned one final, desperate attack.
Copy !req
59. Inside their underground stronghold...
Copy !req
60. we unleashed a powerful nerve gas
which paralyzed them.
Copy !req
61. The attack was successful
but the cost was dear.
Copy !req
62. I was the only survivor,
the last of my kind.
Copy !req
63. I sealed up their citadel to keep them in
a constant state of suspended animation.
Copy !req
64. For over 500 years,
I stood guard over them.
Copy !req
65. But then,
while I was in a hibernation cycle...
Copy !req
66. astronauts from Earth
unsealed the stronghold...
Copy !req
67. and accidentally revived the invaders.
Copy !req
68. Wait. Those astronauts never
said anything about finding life on Mars.
Copy !req
69. Some pencil-pusher in Washington...
Copy !req
70. probably decided
it should be classified information.
Copy !req
71. With all the Martians gone, the invaders
had nothing left to feed upon...
Copy !req
72. so they turned their sights to Earth.
Copy !req
73. I narrowly escaped and came here
to warn of the coming danger.
Copy !req
74. While I was being held
against my will...
Copy !req
75. the invaders sent advance agents
to disable Earth's defenses.
Copy !req
76. That's why they sabotaged
the deep-space monitoring network.
Copy !req
77. So we couldn't detect their activities.
Copy !req
78. We've got to stop them
before it's too late.
Copy !req
79. It may already be too late.
Copy !req
80. This is Snapper Carr, reporting
live from ground zero in Metropolis...
Copy !req
81. where the alien walkers continue
to clear the area around the impact site.
Copy !req
82. General Wells, our military seems unable
to stop them. Why?
Copy !req
83. All our big missiles
have been disarmed...
Copy !req
84. and our self-proclaimed protector,
Superman, has abandoned us.
Copy !req
85. Earlier, Senator J. Allen Carter
had this to say.
Copy !req
86. When I first proposed my
peace initiative, no one ever imagined...
Copy !req
87. we'd face an invasion like this.
Copy !req
88. Now we must stand together
and resist this aggression.
Copy !req
89. Wait. We have a breaking development.
Copy !req
90. Something's moving inside the crater.
Copy !req
91. Oh, my Lord!
Copy !req
92. - What was that?
- It's begun.
Copy !req
93. - What are they doing?
- The invaders are nocturnal.
Copy !req
94. They want to blot out the sun
so they can live in perpetual darkness.
Copy !req
95. - Friends of yours?
- It's no joke.
Copy !req
96. What's the big problem?
Copy !req
97. Can't you just whip up another batch
of nerve gas?
Copy !req
98. Unfortunately, no.
Copy !req
99. The gas can only be made
from a rare Martian plant.
Copy !req
100. I brought a sample with me, but
it was destroyed when I was captured.
Copy !req
101. - Uh, what's plan B?
- We'll have to take out those factories.
Copy !req
102. Lady, this is no job for amateurs.
Copy !req
103. We Amazons are warriors born.
Want to test me?
Copy !req
104. Let's not fight among ourselves.
Copy !req
105. John, we're gonna need all the help
we can get.
Copy !req
106. Fine. Sorry, Your Highness.
Copy !req
107. Tactically, we'll have multiple objectives,
so we'll need to split into teams.
Copy !req
108. Dibs on the Amazon.
Copy !req
109. - You are no fun.
- This isn't supposed to be fun.
Copy !req
110. We have a job to do and we'll do it
better without distractions. Understood?
Copy !req
111. Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
Copy !req
112. That's our target.
Listen up, here's the plan.
Copy !req
113. What plan? We kick their butts, right?
Let's get this over with.
Copy !req
114. Hey, over here!
Copy !req
115. Ha! Missed me!
Copy !req
116. Fool.
Copy !req
117. Hang tight, hotshot.
Copy !req
118. I'm sort of stuck here.
Copy !req
119. I hope the others are having better luck
than we are.
Copy !req
120. Hiding like cowards
is not the Amazon way.
Copy !req
121. They must have a weakness.
When we find it, we'll strike.
Copy !req
122. I have scouted the outer walls.
There are no openings.
Copy !req
123. Then we'll make our own.
Copy !req
124. Wait. Let's see what she can do.
Copy !req
125. Hera, give me strength!
Copy !req
126. There's your opening.
Copy !req
127. Not bad.
Copy !req
128. They run like cowards.
What are you waiting for?
Copy !req
129. Hawkgirl, follow me!
Copy !req
130. - Keep a sharp eye out.
- I always do.
Copy !req
131. - Stay back, I'll—
Copy !req
132. Whoa.
Copy !req
133. What? There's a time for words
and a time for action.
Copy !req
134. Of all the idiotic, boneheaded,
glory-grabbing moves.
Copy !req
135. Haven't you ever heard of teamwork?
Copy !req
136. Maybe we better save the motivational
speeches till later.
Copy !req
137. G.L.!
Copy !req
138. Uh-oh. Gotta run!
Copy !req
139. They're close by.
I can almost smell them.
Copy !req
140. - Are you always so eager to fight?
- My home, Thanagar, is a warlike world.
Copy !req
141. There, one must strike first or die.
Copy !req
142. Hang on, Hawkgirl. I'll—
Copy !req
143. They've blocked us off again.
Copy !req
144. It's almost as if they know
what we're thinking.
Copy !req
145. Any ideas, J'onn?
Copy !req
146. - J'onn!
- Superman and Hawkgirl are down.
Copy !req
147. - They have failed.
- What? Are you sure?
Copy !req
148. I can sense it. This way. Hurry!
Copy !req
149. - We lost them.
- For the moment.
Copy !req
150. Look!
Copy !req
151. It's the central core.
Copy !req
152. - How can we shut it down?
- The ion matrix crystal.
Copy !req
153. If we can remove that,
we'll shut down the whole plant.
Copy !req
154. - I'll need a diversion.
- You've got it.
Copy !req
155. J'onn!
Copy !req
156. Get him out. Now!
Copy !req
157. Batman!
Copy !req
158. No!
Copy !req
159. Wait! There's nothing more
we can do for him.
Copy !req
160. - You don't mean he's...?
- Gone.
Copy !req
161. Hera, help us.
Copy !req
