1. Times like these...
Copy !req
2. One feels
the very weight of the world upon us.
Copy !req
3. Everyone is here.
Copy !req
4. Our agenda is clear.
Copy !req
5. What's at stake
should not be underestimated.
Copy !req
6. The decisions we make today
will reverberate for years to come.
Copy !req
7. And influence whether or not
the world continues to put their trust
Copy !req
8. in the Justice League.
Copy !req
9. Please, take your seats.
Copy !req
10. We have work to do.
Copy !req
11. Season 1, episode 22
“Agendas”
Copy !req
12. Another expansion of the League
Copy !req
13. could generate another escalation
of hostilities from our enemies.
Copy !req
14. No one needs or wants
another Injustice League.
Copy !req
15. Point taken. But the option remains
to vote no one or all candidates.
Copy !req
16. So...
Copy !req
17. I nominate Icon
for League membership.
Copy !req
18. Why, because you suspect Icon
might be Kryptonian,
Copy !req
19. like you did with Captain Marvel?
Copy !req
20. You thought I was Kryptonian?
Cool!
Copy !req
21. Icon interests me also.
Copy !req
22. As does his protégé,
Rocket.
Copy !req
23. Athena knows the League
could use more female members.
Copy !req
24. - Agreed.
- Hear, hear!
Copy !req
25. Gabble, gabble!
Copy !req
26. Aw, I love Thanksgiving!
Copy !req
27. - Ow!
- Those are for dinner, Wally!
Copy !req
28. There, seasoned to perfection
and ready for the oven!
Copy !req
29. Wally, I thought
you were eating with your family!
Copy !req
30. Oh, yeah,
Dad will kill me if I'm late!
Copy !req
31. See ya!
Copy !req
32. Wally!
Copy !req
33. It's nothing.
The onions...
Copy !req
34. These are all the things
I used to cook for...
Copy !req
35. It's my first Thanksgiving
without my Dad.
Copy !req
36. At least she had a Dad.
Copy !req
37. With Superman off world,
Copy !req
38. only one thing alive
with less than four legs
Copy !req
39. can hear this frequency,
Superboy.
Copy !req
40. And that's you.
Copy !req
41. Meet me in Washington DC,
East Potomac Park.
Copy !req
42. Come alone.
Copy !req
43. I promise,
it will be worth the trip.
Copy !req
44. Conner?
Copy !req
45. Figured you don't want my help
in the kitchen.
Copy !req
46. Remember the last time?
Copy !req
47. When the...
Yeah. But...
Copy !req
48. Just walking Wolf.
No big.
Copy !req
49. Seriously?
The Atom?
Copy !req
50. How useful could he be
at that size?
Copy !req
51. It's the size
that makes him useful.
Copy !req
52. Absolutely.
Copy !req
53. Still, we could always use
more raw power.
Copy !req
54. And Earth has
a third Green Lantern.
Copy !req
55. - Guy Gardner.
- No!
Copy !req
56. - But we could really...
- No!
Copy !req
57. Superboy...
My name is Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
58. I'm the new Chairman
of the Board for Project Cadmus.
Copy !req
59. I know who you are, Luthor.
Copy !req
60. And I want nothing to do with you.
Or Cadmus.
Copy !req
61. Cadmus has created
a new super clone.
Copy !req
62. Guardian!
Fast work on the rebuilt.
Copy !req
63. Now escort me down
the easy way.
Copy !req
64. Or I escort myself down,
the hard way.
Copy !req
65. You're letting Superboy down here?
Copy !req
66. Focus on the matter at hand,
Dr. Spence.
Copy !req
67. Another genomorph has vanished.
Copy !req
68. Every disappearance
is being investigated.
Copy !req
69. Not good enough, Dubbilex.
Copy !req
70. The new super clone.
Where are you holding it?
Copy !req
71. Welcome home, Superboy.
Copy !req
72. Now, what are you talking about?
Copy !req
73. Brother, you are
the only super clone in Cadmus.
Copy !req
74. All cloning projects,
human and Kryptonian
Copy !req
75. had been shut down
since your escape.
Copy !req
76. "Since my liberation".
Copy !req
77. As you say.
Copy !req
78. But now I'm needed
back in my lab.
Copy !req
79. Sometimes I hate this job.
Copy !req
80. You... you look a lot
like Red Arrow.
Copy !req
81. Not all that surprising,
Red Arrow is my nephew.
Copy !req
82. If we're considering Blue Devil,
then I nominate Red Arrow.
Copy !req
83. Roy has more experience
and he's no kid anymore.
Copy !req
84. He's eighteen.
A legal adult.
Copy !req
85. - He's ready.
- Is he?
Copy !req
86. Red Arrow has been uncooperative
and disrespectful.
Copy !req
87. If we reward that behavior...
Copy !req
88. What message does that send
to the rest of the Team?
Copy !req
89. Here's the floor 1-1.
Copy !req
90. This is the new and improved Cadmus.
Copy !req
91. Doctor Spence and her team
Copy !req
92. are doing truly worthwhile
genetic medical research now.
Copy !req
93. The genomorphs are becoming
more independent. More educated.
Copy !req
94. Some even have names.
Copy !req
95. Hey, Benny!
Copy !req
96. And, someday...
Copy !req
97. The working done here
will save millions of lives...
Copy !req
98. Superboy...
You may trust Guardian.
Copy !req
99. He keeps no secrets.
Copy !req
100. Unlike you...
Copy !req
101. Apparently, you still keep
your psychic power a secret.
Copy !req
102. Some secrets have their place.
Copy !req
103. We were all created
to be exploited as living weapons.
Copy !req
104. You were designed...
Copy !req
105. to replace or destroy Superman,
I know. What's your point?
Copy !req
106. That you should understand
the plight of those left behind,
Copy !req
107. after I helped free you
from Cadmus.
Copy !req
108. The League liberated all genomorphs.
Copy !req
109. Are we free to walk the surface,
as you do?
Copy !req
110. Or has our role merely changed
from weapons to minimum labor?
Copy !req
111. Look... it's complicated.
Copy !req
112. But first things first.
Copy !req
113. Guardian, could a super clone exist
without you knowing?
Copy !req
114. It's highly unlikely.
Copy !req
115. Tell me, Brother,
Copy !req
116. what would you do
if you found this super clone?
Copy !req
117. If it'd exist, I'd free it.
Copy !req
118. Just like Aqualad, Robin and Kid Flash
freed me.
Copy !req
119. Then I will question our brothers.
Copy !req
120. Nothing happens at Cadmus
without a genomorph knowing.
Copy !req
121. If a super clone exists,
we will find him.
Copy !req
122. Look, I have my own
missing genomorphs to locate.
Copy !req
123. But you got the run of the place.
Copy !req
124. I just doubt you'll find
what you're looking for.
Copy !req
125. It's OK.
You're free now.
Copy !req
126. Stop! I'm on your side!
Copy !req
127. You can fly...
Why can you fly?
Copy !req
128. I don't wanna do this!
Copy !req
129. Enough!
Copy !req
130. I'm trying to help you!
Copy !req
131. No!
Copy !req
132. Red Arrow may be eighteen,
but the rest of the Team is too young.
Copy !req
133. We're not inducting children
into the League.
Copy !req
134. That seems ironic.
Copy !req
135. I have been one
with Kid Flash and Aqualad.
Copy !req
136. Both are ready.
Copy !req
137. - And what of Zatanna?
- Absolutely not!
Copy !req
138. That sounded almost protective,
Doctor.
Copy !req
139. At least we know Zatara
is still in that helmet, somewhere.
Copy !req
140. Why is Doctor Fate a member?
Copy !req
141. You coerced Zatara
into giving up his life to you.
Copy !req
142. Or else,
lose his daughter instead.
Copy !req
143. Not cool.
Copy !req
144. Should such behavior
be condoned?
Copy !req
145. Zatara desires
Doctor Fate remain with the League.
Copy !req
146. - Oh, please...
- It is true!
Copy !req
147. Zatara's trust in Nabu is...
measured.
Copy !req
148. He desires the League
to maintain a close watch upon us.
Copy !req
149. No, no, no!
Copy !req
150. It's alright!
Copy !req
151. It's not "alright"!
Copy !req
152. You put me in a pod!
Copy !req
153. It was the fastest way
to heal your injuries!
Copy !req
154. She's another Cadmus' mad scientist,
picking up where Desmond left off!
Copy !req
155. "Project Match" is yours!
Admit it!
Copy !req
156. Believe what you want!
Copy !req
157. Superboy, please!
Copy !req
158. She was as shocked to see the security
camera footage of this "Match" as I was.
Copy !req
159. - Where is he now?
- We don't know.
Copy !req
160. He... disappeared.
Copy !req
161. What?
Copy !req
162. All cameras went offline
after your battle.
Copy !req
163. By the time we arrived...
Match was gone.
Copy !req
164. And he isn't the only genomorph
to disappear.
Copy !req
165. We need to go
to the bottom of this.
Copy !req
166. So, the truth
wasn't that hard to find, after all.
Copy !req
167. I assume you suffered no...
Copy !req
168. - ... permanent damage.
- Like you care!
Copy !req
169. Tell me what you know
about Project Match.
Copy !req
170. Very little.
I know more about you.
Copy !req
171. Kryptonian DNA is notoriously
difficult for human science to read.
Copy !req
172. When you were created,
Copy !req
173. the gaps in the sequences were bridged
with human DNA.
Copy !req
174. Robbing you
of your full Kryptonian powers.
Copy !req
175. No flight, no heat vision,
etcetera.
Copy !req
176. I'm part human!
Copy !req
177. Yes.
Copy !req
178. Obviously, your... twin
was created with pure Kryptonian DNA.
Copy !req
179. The missing sequences have...
apparently left Match unstable.
Copy !req
180. Insane.
Copy !req
181. I'd advise you to get him
back on ice as soon as possible.
Copy !req
182. Not gonna happen.
Copy !req
183. Your call.
Either way, you'll need help.
Copy !req
184. Consider this a gift.
Copy !req
185. I call them "shields".
Copy !req
186. Stick one on your arm
Copy !req
187. and it will suppress your human DNA
for about an hour.
Copy !req
188. Allowing your Kryptonian powers
to bloom.
Copy !req
189. You'll be as powerful
as Match.
Copy !req
190. As Superman.
Copy !req
191. I don't want anything from you.
Copy !req
192. Keep them, anyway.
Copy !req
193. You never know.
Copy !req
194. Plastic Man.
Copy !req
195. I don't know... The guy has
a pretty substantial criminal record.
Copy !req
196. Sorry... sorry.
Copy !req
197. The guy just cracks me up.
Copy !req
198. Maybe it's time we all talk
about the elephant in the room.
Copy !req
199. Should Captain Marvel
stay a member?
Copy !req
200. Now that we know
he's really only ten years old?
Copy !req
201. He does possess an adult body
and the wisdom of Solomon.
Copy !req
202. Wisdom does not equal maturity.
Copy !req
203. Hey, I'm sitting right here!
Copy !req
204. Then, Billy, maybe
you should leave.
Copy !req
205. Until we hash this out.
Copy !req
206. No. Captain Marvel is a member
Copy !req
207. and is entitled to participate,
until or unless he's voted out.
Copy !req
208. It's not just his age.
It's the fact that he lied about it.
Copy !req
209. I didn't lie...
exactly.
Copy !req
210. I just left out the part
about being a kid.
Copy !req
211. A lie of omission is still a lie.
Copy !req
212. You kept an important secret from us.
Copy !req
213. No one in the League
knew the truth.
Copy !req
214. I did.
Copy !req
215. I shouldn't be surprised.
Copy !req
216. Since you indoctrinated Robin into crime
fighting at the ripe old age of nine...
Copy !req
217. Robin needed to help bring the man
who murdered his family to justice.
Copy !req
218. So he could turn out like you?
Copy !req
219. So that he wouldn't.
Copy !req
220. At least these are empty.
Copy !req
221. OK, Dubbilex, spit it all.
Copy !req
222. When I accused Spence,
I could hear your heart rate increase.
Copy !req
223. Stress.
You're hiding something.
Copy !req
224. From them, not you.
Copy !req
225. I have questioned
the oldest genomorphes.
Copy !req
226. They tell me Match is not
your younger brother.
Copy !req
227. He was Cadmus' first attempt
to clone Superman.
Copy !req
228. His Kryptonian DNA
rendered him uncontrollable,
Copy !req
229. so they froze him,
and struck again.
Copy !req
230. Who are "they"?
Copy !req
231. Desmond? Spence?
Copy !req
232. Desmond, yes.
Copy !req
233. And his superior
and Cadmus founder,
Copy !req
234. Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
235. So Luthor took Match.
Copy !req
236. Actually, Brother,
Copy !req
237. I did that.
Copy !req
238. Turn left, Brother.
Copy !req
239. Welcome, Brother,
Copy !req
240. to Genomorph City.
Copy !req
241. So you're responsible
for the missing genomorphs.
Copy !req
242. I am.
Copy !req
243. One by one,
I liberated them,
Copy !req
244. brought them here, to a new life,
where all our brothers can be free.
Copy !req
245. Of course, I have a dream that one day,
the world you live in will accept us.
Copy !req
246. But for now, no one must know
Genomorph City exists.
Copy !req
247. Which is why
I brought our brother here.
Copy !req
248. - What have you done to him?
- He is safe.
Copy !req
249. The genoms keep him docile
with their psychic abilities.
Copy !req
250. And the chains?
Copy !req
251. Should he escape,
in his current condition,
Copy !req
252. he could set back
the genomorph cause by decades.
Copy !req
253. So you hold him prisoner,
like Cadmus held me?
Copy !req
254. You might as well put him in a pod!
Copy !req
255. Our goal is rehabilitation.
Copy !req
256. We will release him
when he is ready.
Copy !req
257. That's not your call!
Copy !req
258. Be calm!
Copy !req
259. You seem to have reached consensus
Copy !req
260. that eighteen years is a suitable
minimal age for joining the League.
Copy !req
261. Yet, what of Miss Martian?
Copy !req
262. Though she is a biological adolescent
by Martian standards,
Copy !req
263. she was born 48 Earth years ago.
Copy !req
264. So what is the deciding factor?
Copy !req
265. Chronology or biology?
Copy !req
266. - Take Superboy.
- Exactly.
Copy !req
267. He's less than a year old.
Copy !req
268. Does he have to wait 17 more
to stand beside us?
Copy !req
269. My turn.
Copy !req
270. Superboy, enough!
Copy !req
271. He's down.
You won.
Copy !req
272. It has to be this way.
Copy !req
273. No other ideas?
Copy !req
274. Then here are candidates
for new, or continued membership.
Copy !req
275. We've debated origin,
Copy !req
276. gender, size, experience, age,
temperament and background.
Copy !req
277. But... What is the fundamental
criteria for membership?
Copy !req
278. When all is settling down,
the question must be,
Copy !req
279. whom do we trust?
Copy !req
280. Trust to fight beside us,
Copy !req
281. trust to have our backs,
Copy !req
282. trust to uphold the high standards
and ideals of the Justice League.
Copy !req
283. Time to vote.
Copy !req
284. There was a tracker
in that tin box you gave me.
Copy !req
285. Yes. I assume you discovered it,
with your X-ray vision?
Copy !req
286. You initiated the cloning projects!
Copy !req
287. I wanted Superman
to meet his match.
Copy !req
288. And you used both of us
to locate the missing genomorphs.
Copy !req
289. A good businessman
has to keep track of his assets.
Copy !req
290. But none of that
is what really bothers you.
Copy !req
291. Half your DNA is human.
Copy !req
292. Haven't you wondered
who the donor was?
Copy !req
293. Or have you just been afraid
to acknowledge the obvious...
Copy !req
294. Face it, son.
Copy !req
295. You have much more in common
with me than Superman.
Copy !req
296. That's a lie!
Copy !req
297. What has he given you?
Nothing.
Copy !req
298. Not even affection.
And, why?
Copy !req
299. Because Big-Boy-Blue
lives in a world of black and white.
Copy !req
300. You were created by the "bad guys".
Copy !req
301. So there must be
something wrong with you.
Copy !req
302. But we both know
life isn't that clear cut.
Copy !req
303. The real world is full of grays.
Copy !req
304. Weren't you determined
to free Match at all cost?
Copy !req
305. Yet, ultimately, you wisely agreed
to my suggestion to refreeze him,
Copy !req
306. for the greater good of all.
Copy !req
307. And though you think me a villain,
you still accepted my shields.
Copy !req
308. We're more alike
than you care to admit.
Copy !req
309. - Take them back.
- They're a gift!
Copy !req
310. From a father to his son.
Copy !req
311. I won't need them for this...
Copy !req
312. "Red Sun."
Copy !req
313. Two words,
and he shut me down...
Copy !req
314. What else can he make me do?
Copy !req
315. All those in favor
of ratifying the results...
Copy !req
316. I!
Copy !req
317. All opposed?
Copy !req
318. Then, we are adjourned.
Copy !req
