1. My algorithm estimated you'd
be here two minutes earlier.
Copy !req
2. How long were you
waiting outside?
Copy !req
3. About two minutes.
Copy !req
4. Look, I know DeLamb,
Baron Bedlam, staged a coup.
Copy !req
5. I assume Brion and Tara
are already on route,
Copy !req
6. and I still care
about both those kids.
Copy !req
7. I need to know what's going on.
Please, Barbara.
Copy !req
8. Like I said, expected you
two minutes ago.
Copy !req
9. Look, as you've
probably guessed,
Copy !req
10. the League's been sidelined by U.N.
Secretary-General, Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
11. And, frankly,
by public opinion,
Copy !req
12. which Luthor's manipulated.
Copy !req
13. Both sides know a win
for Brion and the Outsiders
Copy !req
14. will also help
the League's cause.
Copy !req
15. A loss, on the other hand...
Copy !req
16. That's why the Bio-Ship's
crossing the Vlatavan border
Copy !req
17. into Markovian airspace
at this very moment.
Copy !req
18. M'gann's leading
Gamma Squad,
Copy !req
19. combing members of the Team
and the Outsiders,
Copy !req
20. to prevent Doctor X
from executing
Copy !req
21. those loyal
to King Gregor Markov.
Copy !req
22. Meanwhile, Beta Squad
is preparing
Copy !req
23. to boomtube straight
to Markovburg,
Copy !req
24. to back-up Alpha Squad,
who are taking the battle right to Bedlam.
Copy !req
25. And you coordinate
all three squads from here,
Copy !req
26. while keeping the League
and Batman, Inc. informed?
Copy !req
27. You're the only person
who calls it "Batman, Inc."
Copy !req
28. But, yes.
Copy !req
29. - What else?
- What else?
Copy !req
30. What aren't you telling me?
Copy !req
31. Well...
Copy !req
32. The board is set.
Copy !req
33. The players in position.
Copy !req
34. And we have the inside track
on their every move.
Copy !req
35. Then all goes as planned?
Copy !req
36. Of course.
Copy !req
37. This will be a complete
debacle for the Outsiders,
Copy !req
38. proving what I've been saying
in the media for months.
Copy !req
39. "All heroes and meta-humans
Copy !req
40. must be registered
and regulated, worldwide."
Copy !req
41. My own team
of young champions
Copy !req
42. will quickly volunteer
to register.
Copy !req
43. And Infinity Incorporated
Copy !req
44. will supplant
the Justice League.
Copy !req
45. While the Light
fills its ranks
Copy !req
46. with meta-humans
under our control.
Copy !req
47. The current heroes
will be rendered outlaws,
Copy !req
48. subject to arrest,
imprisonment,
Copy !req
49. even Inhibitor Collars.
Copy !req
50. I bet
Waller would love
Copy !req
51. to get a brain implant
in the Dark Knight.
Copy !req
52. Indeed.
Copy !req
53. But how to guarantee
today's "debacle?"
Copy !req
54. If we use our mole...
Copy !req
55. Her cover will be blown.
No doubt.
Copy !req
56. We believe the outcome
worth the sacrifice.
Copy !req
57. Any objections?
Copy !req
58. Channel is secure. Proceed.
Copy !req
59. Deathstroke to Tara...
Copy !req
60. the moment you've been
waiting for is here.
Copy !req
61. On our signal,
Copy !req
62. you are to publicly kill
Garfield Logan.
Copy !req
63. Sync corrections by srjanapala
Copy !req
64. You!
Copy !req
65. Yeah. Me.
Copy !req
66. You were right, G-F.
Beta flushed the Baron right out.
Copy !req
67. Hello, Uncle.
Copy !req
68. So, a meta-invasion
of my native land.
Copy !req
69. An opportunity
to defend the Realm
Copy !req
70. and cleanse the bloodline
of these weak Orphans.
Copy !req
71. We're orphans because of you!
Copy !req
72. I feel the tug
of your power, child.
Copy !req
73. A feeble thing.
Copy !req
74. Monster!
Copy !req
75. Cyborg, do you read?
Copy !req
76. I know you're in
the thick of it,
Copy !req
77. but you and I
have a new mission.
Copy !req
78. Little Prince.
Copy !req
79. There's no Superboy here
to save you now.
Copy !req
80. Stop, children!
Copy !req
81. You're an embarrassment
to the family.
Copy !req
82. They've got
a new family now.
Copy !req
83. All equally pathetic.
Copy !req
84. Cyborg,
help Beast Boy!
Copy !req
85. Ah, man, that hurts!
Copy !req
86. Yeah!
Copy !req
87. Gamma to Beta.
We've rescued the hostages
Copy !req
88. and taken down Doctor X.
How's it going at the Palace?
Copy !req
89. Just a...
Copy !req
90. second.
Copy !req
91. Jected!
Beta to Gamma.
Copy !req
92. Vertigo's down. Sending
Tigress and Halo to Alpha.
Copy !req
93. On our way.
Copy !req
94. You kidnapped
my sister!
Copy !req
95. Murdered my parents!
Copy !req
96. Betrayed crown and country!
Copy !req
97. Stop.
Copy !req
98. Stop! I...
Copy !req
99. I surrender.
Copy !req
100. Surrender is too easy!
Copy !req
101. Geo-Force.
Copy !req
102. No!
Copy !req
103. The Outsiders
are beacons of hope.
Copy !req
104. We don't deal out punishment.
Copy !req
105. Brion is right.
Copy !req
106. Bedlam caused all your misery.
Copy !req
107. Do your job,
Copy !req
108. then nothing can stop you and
Brion from executing DeLamb.
Copy !req
109. Kill Beast Boy.
Copy !req
110. Now.
Copy !req
111. - Uh... Terra?
- Terra, what are you doing?
Copy !req
112. Do it.
Copy !req
113. Kill him.
Copy !req
114. Tara, listen.
Copy !req
115. You don't have to do
what Deathstroke says.
Copy !req
116. - Deathstroke?
- How does she...
Copy !req
117. I thought this channel
was secure!
Copy !req
118. How long have you known?
Copy !req
119. Known? Known what?
Copy !req
120. Since before we found you.
Copy !req
121. Batman had surveillance
on Slade,
Copy !req
122. and could tell
from his micro-expressions
Copy !req
123. that he was lying
when he said you'd washed out
Copy !req
124. of the League of Shadows.
Copy !req
125. You knew I was still
a Shadow? Why didn't you...
Copy !req
126. Busting you upfront would've taken
the decision out of your hands,
Copy !req
127. which is exactly what
the bad guys have done to you
Copy !req
128. from the moment
you were abducted.
Copy !req
129. Don't go soft
on me now, Princess.
Copy !req
130. They'll betray you.
Like your uncle.
Copy !req
131. Like Jace.
Copy !req
132. I have been betrayed
so many times.
Copy !req
133. But these people risked
their lives to save me.
Copy !req
134. Treated me with kindness
and respect.
Copy !req
135. Made me a part
of their family.
Copy !req
136. Those are the tools
they use to make you weak.
Copy !req
137. I taught you to be strong.
Copy !req
138. We wanted to show you
there is a better way.
Copy !req
139. You can be forgiven, Tara.
The choice is yours.
Copy !req
140. Damn it, Terra,
listen...
Copy !req
141. Batman read
your micro-expressions?
Copy !req
142. Didn't know
he saw me unmasked.
Copy !req
143. While
I nodded, nearly napping,
Copy !req
144. suddenly there came a tapping.
Copy !req
145. Well, we wondered
who else would be
Copy !req
146. on the other end of this line.
Now, we know,
Copy !req
147. Mr. Secretary.
Copy !req
148. Tara...
Copy !req
149. how could you?
Copy !req
150. Why didn't anyone
tell me this?
Copy !req
151. Here he is!
Copy !req
152. Here's our Prince!
Copy !req
153. Ambassador Baazovi?
Copy !req
154. Prince Brion! Is that...
Copy !req
155. the Princess?
Copy !req
156. And who are these others?
Copy !req
157. My Prince,
Copy !req
158. you cannot let
that war criminal escape!
Copy !req
159. It is over, Baron.
Copy !req
160. It will never be over,
Princeling!
Copy !req
161. Not as long as I draw breath.
Copy !req
162. Uncle, I believe you.
Copy !req
163. Is he... Is he dead?
Copy !req
164. Yes.
Copy !req
165. Speaking alien language...
Copy !req
166. Brion is a hero!
Copy !req
167. Speaks alien language...
Brion sir varonis!
Copy !req
168. Brion! Brion! Brion!
Copy !req
169. Brion! Brion! Brion! Brion...
Copy !req
170. What happened?
Copy !req
171. Oh, Brion.
Copy !req
172. Brion!
Brion! Brion! Brion...
Copy !req
173. Brion!
Brion! Brion! Brion!
Copy !req
174. Brion! Brion!
Copy !req
175. Brion! Brion! Brion!
Copy !req
176. I had to do it.
Don't you see?
Copy !req
177. You crossed a line
we don't cross.
Copy !req
178. You murdered
that man.
Copy !req
179. I executed a criminal,
Copy !req
180. while you hypocrites
Copy !req
181. allowed a murderer
to walk free among us!
Copy !req
182. She was
a vulnerable child,
Copy !req
183. brainwashed,
Stockholm-Syndromed.
Copy !req
184. No. There was
no Control Chip
Copy !req
185. on my neck
when I killed Marlo.
Copy !req
186. I had a choice.
Copy !req
187. I made the wrong one.
Copy !req
188. Sveiks, Princis Briones!
Copy !req
189. Sveiks!
Sveiks! Sveiks! Sveiks!
Copy !req
190. We both must
turn ourselves in.
Copy !req
191. To whom?
Copy !req
192. Do you not hear the crowd?
Copy !req
193. They know what I did was just.
Copy !req
194. And so should you!
Copy !req
195. Tara, I dedicated my life
to rescuing you,
Copy !req
196. but you lied to me
Copy !req
197. and nearly betrayed us all.
Copy !req
198. You are an assassin!
Copy !req
199. I am a hero!
Copy !req
200. Heroes don't do
what you did.
Copy !req
201. The people would disagree.
Copy !req
202. Would you condemn
a soldier in war?
Copy !req
203. No, you'd call him Varonis,
a hero.
Copy !req
204. And I'd call this hero
Copy !req
205. Karalis.
Copy !req
206. - A King.
- King? But Gregor...
Copy !req
207. Kings make hard decisions
for the sake of their people.
Copy !req
208. You know I supported Gregor,
Copy !req
209. but Gregor isn't strong
enough for these times.
Copy !req
210. Only you have the strength
to rule Markovia.
Copy !req
211. With the full support
of the Military.
Copy !req
212. Prince Brion brought down
the tyrant, DeLamb,
Copy !req
213. who staged a coup
after escaping prison,
Copy !req
214. after murdering
our King and Queen!
Copy !req
215. Sveiks,
Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
216. Sveiks, Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
217. You are only 16 minutes
younger than your brother.
Copy !req
218. Admit the truth to yourself.
Copy !req
219. Sveiks, Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
220. Sveiks, Briones Karalis...
Copy !req
221. My brother
is a man of great patience.
Copy !req
222. But that is not
what our country needs.
Copy !req
223. Brion, you cannot
betray Gregor.
Copy !req
224. Unlike you, I betray no one.
Copy !req
225. Gregor's 16 minutes is
no justification for his Rule.
Copy !req
226. I've always known
the Crown should be mine.
Copy !req
227. Markovia
needs a King who is a Hero.
Copy !req
228. Sister...
Copy !req
229. I will forgive your crimes,
Copy !req
230. if you support my Rule.
Copy !req
231. No, brother. That I cannot do.
Copy !req
232. Fine. Halo, join me.
Copy !req
233. Rule beside me
Copy !req
234. as my Queen.
Copy !req
235. Violet, please.
Copy !req
236. I need you now.
Copy !req
237. So be it.
Copy !req
238. Nightwing,
Copy !req
239. take all your heroes
out of my country.
Copy !req
240. At once!
Copy !req
241. Briones Karalis!
Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
242. Briones Karalis!
Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
243. Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
244. Briones Karalis!
Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
245. Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
246. Despite Terra's
disappointing performance
Copy !req
247. and Lightning's
pointless little incursion,
Copy !req
248. things could have gone worse.
Copy !req
249. Oh, please.
Copy !req
250. Things could hardly
have gone better.
Copy !req
251. Grayson's people
in their masks?
Copy !req
252. A coup on live television?
Copy !req
253. An Outsider executing an enemy
and declaring himself King?
Copy !req
254. I can easily frame
the argument now
Copy !req
255. for heroes to be
registered and regulated.
Copy !req
256. As far as I'm concerned,
Copy !req
257. Infinity Inc.
Has already ascended.
Copy !req
258. As you can see
from the documents before you,
Copy !req
259. these confidential
files prove
Copy !req
260. that Secretary-General
Lex Luthor
Copy !req
261. has defied U.N. regulations
Copy !req
262. by continuing
to secretly run LexCorp.
Copy !req
263. Worse, he's exploited
its resources
Copy !req
264. to operate his own
meta-human trafficking chain.
Copy !req
265. One that utilizes
the same Control Chip
Copy !req
266. favored by the infamous
Bedlam syndicate.
Copy !req
267. Furthermore, Luthor has
used his illegal organization
Copy !req
268. to create and control
Infinity, Inc.
Copy !req
269. One day after Lightning's
stunning revelations,
Copy !req
270. we are live at
the United Nations,
Copy !req
271. where a crowd has gathered,
calling for Luthor's resignation.
Copy !req
272. Uh, wait, I'm being told Secretary
Luthor is making a statement.
Copy !req
273. This is fake news, fake news,
Copy !req
274. and I resent even
addressing allegations
Copy !req
275. from unregulated
meta-vigilantes
Copy !req
276. like the disgraced
Black Lightning.
Copy !req
277. We will soon change
the international libel laws,
Copy !req
278. which allow these
so-called "heroes"
Copy !req
279. to smear my good name
with spurious charges.
Copy !req
280. Every charge Lightning
and Cyborg laid at your feet
Copy !req
281. is true, Luthor! And more!
Copy !req
282. Think about what
you're doing, son.
Copy !req
283. I'm not your son.
Copy !req
284. At Project Cadmus,
Luthor bred and enslaved living weapons.
Copy !req
285. Including me.
Copy !req
286. I am the Superboy.
A genomorph.
Copy !req
287. A clone made from the combined
DNA of Superman and Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
288. I was created to replace
Superman should he perish.
Copy !req
289. To destroy him should he
turn from the Light.
Copy !req
290. Lex Luthor's Light.
Copy !req
291. I'm more than that now.
Copy !req
292. More than the weapon
I was created to be.
Copy !req
293. I've come to think
of Superboy as my brother.
Copy !req
294. You can trust him.
Copy !req
295. You don't have to trust me.
Test my DNA.
Copy !req
296. It's all the proof you'll need.
Copy !req
297. I call for an immediate
vote of no confidence
Copy !req
298. in Secretary-General
Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
299. An embattled
Lex Luthor,
Copy !req
300. now facing multiple
indictments,
Copy !req
301. has been forced to resign
Copy !req
302. as Secretary-General
of the United Nations.
Copy !req
303. I hear rumors Ambassador Troia is
the leading candidate to replace Lex.
Copy !req
304. - Love that.
- And there's more good news.
Copy !req
305. Fans worldwide
have kept the Outsiders
Copy !req
306. and the League trending highly
positive across social media.
Copy !req
307. I guess Justice
is back in fashion.
Copy !req
308. My dad reactivated
the Bat-Signal
Copy !req
309. to actual cheers
from the crowd below.
Copy !req
310. Wait,
turn the sound back on.
Copy !req
311. In other news,
the trial of Tara Markov
Copy !req
312. has ended at The Hague.
The judges of the World Court
Copy !req
313. have taken the many
mitigating factors
Copy !req
314. of the Princess'
abduction into account
Copy !req
315. and released her into
the custody of her brother,
Copy !req
316. Markovia's King-In-Exile,
Gregor Markov.
Copy !req
317. As part of her probation,
she will attempt to redeem herself
Copy !req
318. by doing good works
with the Outsiders.
Copy !req
319. No, I...
I don't want to see her.
Copy !req
320. She's made some mistakes,
Copy !req
321. but she wants to make up
for them by helping you.
Copy !req
322. Please, Your Highness.
Copy !req
323. We all deserve
a second chance.
Copy !req
324. Let her approach.
Copy !req
325. The Light is satisfied.
Copy !req
326. Though Lex has some
legal issues to resolve,
Copy !req
327. the rest of the news is good.
Copy !req
328. Agreed. King Brion now
leads a puppet kingdom,
Copy !req
329. thanks in no small part to
our newest member's influence.
Copy !req
330. Yes, well, I'm no Martian,
Copy !req
331. but my limited
meta-psychic ability
Copy !req
332. does come in handy to...
Copy !req
333. nudge people toward
their own worst impulses.
Copy !req
334. No need to be modest, Zviad.
Copy !req
335. Your services
are much appreciated.
Copy !req
336. Now, I'm sure
you're all wondering
Copy !req
337. about my recent trip
to Apokolips.
Copy !req
338. Darkseid and I rattled
sabres at each other
Copy !req
339. over our mutual
sense of betrayal.
Copy !req
340. We aired our differences but
managed to find common ground.
Copy !req
341. And reconfirm
our partnership.
Copy !req
342. Of course, his search for the
Anti-Life Equation continues.
Copy !req
343. So we must prepare.
Copy !req
344. For keeping eyes
on this, Halo,
Copy !req
345. she could be the key
to our final victory.
Copy !req
346. Can you hear us
on the Javelin?
Copy !req
347. Roger that.
You got three Lanterns,
Copy !req
348. two Hawks, a Martian,
a Captain, a Doctor,
Copy !req
349. a Devil, Magog, Steel, Icon,
Fire, Ice and Flongated Man.
Copy !req
350. That's Elongated Man!
Copy !req
351. Hope you poozers
make it worth our while.
Copy !req
352. How about
at the Batcave?
Copy !req
353. Metamorpho here
with Batwoman, Katana,
Copy !req
354. Hardware, Plaz, Spoiler,
Arrowette and Orphan.
Copy !req
355. That's just about everyone.
Wasn't sure they'd all respond.
Copy !req
356. You command more respect
than you realize.
Copy !req
357. Ah,
starting to get that.
Copy !req
358. Still, everyone's here except
the one guy I really need.
Copy !req
359. Recognized,
Copy !req
360. Pierce-Comma-Jefferson.
G-Zero-One.
Copy !req
361. Glad you could make it.
Copy !req
362. Gladder still
you're staying in the game.
Copy !req
363. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
364. it's the right thing.
Copy !req
365. You sure about this?
Copy !req
366. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
367. Thanks for coming, everyone.
Copy !req
368. Word's spreading fast, so we might
as well get it out in the open.
Copy !req
369. Batman, Wonder Woman,
Aquaman,
Copy !req
370. Miss Martian, Oracle,
Robin, and I
Copy !req
371. have been running
a secret task force,
Copy !req
372. coordinating all
our Teams and squads
Copy !req
373. in an attempt to beat
the Light at their own game.
Copy !req
374. We kept it a secret in a
misguided attempt to protect you.
Copy !req
375. We've had successes,
failures, compromises,
Copy !req
376. deceptions and betrayals.
Copy !req
377. It is now clear, that
despite our best intentions,
Copy !req
378. we made a mistake.
Copy !req
379. So I hereby resign as Co-Chair of
the League, effective immediately.
Copy !req
380. As do I.
Copy !req
381. I'm stepping down as Leader
of the Team, as well.
Copy !req
382. Which means
we need a new leader,
Copy !req
383. one who has consistently acted
as the conscience of the League.
Copy !req
384. And although I'm not a member,
I'd like to take the liberty
Copy !req
385. of nominating Black Lightning.
Copy !req
386. Seconded.
Copy !req
387. All current Leaguers
present and in favor?
Copy !req
388. - Aye!
- And aboard the Javelin?
Copy !req
389. Aye!
Copy !req
390. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
I don't want this.
Copy !req
391. Maybe not. But we kinda
need you to take it.
Copy !req
392. What say you?
Copy !req
393. I don't have a vote.
Currently.
Copy !req
394. If I take this,
you're either in or you're out.
Copy !req
395. There's no half-way.
No behind-the-scenes crap.
Copy !req
396. If you take this,
we'll fold Batman, Inc.
Copy !req
397. Back into the League
and the Team,
Copy !req
398. on your terms.
It's for the best.
Copy !req
399. For the mission.
Copy !req
400. I rejoin the Team.
Team works for the League.
Copy !req
401. I work for you, boss.
Copy !req
402. We all believe the League
needs course correction,
Copy !req
403. because we're all afraid
of the same tired old story.
Copy !req
404. "The hero gets lost
fighting the good fight
Copy !req
405. "and becomes the very thing
he or she is fighting against."
Copy !req
406. And, sure, it happens.
Copy !req
407. Vandal Savage, Teth Adam,
Copy !req
408. Ra's al Ghul. And now,
sadly, Geo-Force.
Copy !req
409. But it will not
happen again.
Copy !req
410. Not to any of us.
Copy !req
411. Because from here on out,
we will not keep secrets from each other.
Copy !req
412. We need each other
to know each others' secrets
Copy !req
413. to keep each other
on the straight and narrow.
Copy !req
414. No more making decisions
to protect each other
Copy !req
415. from the choices
we might be forced to make.
Copy !req
416. In this League, the ends
will not justify the means!
Copy !req
417. We will not sink to using
the methods of our enemies.
Copy !req
418. We will keep our covert Team,
Copy !req
419. not for the sake
of it being covert,
Copy !req
420. but because it affords
our young heroes
Copy !req
421. a place to learn
out of the spotlight.
Copy !req
422. But, otherwise,
like the Outsiders,
Copy !req
423. we must live
in each others' spotlights.
Copy !req
424. If we fail while doing right,
Copy !req
425. then at least we went down
swinging on our own terms.
Copy !req
426. But in the long term,
we will not fail.
Copy !req
427. Holding firm
to our principles
Copy !req
428. will guide us
to an honorable victory!
Copy !req
429. Now, let's get down
to business.
Copy !req
430. The Outsiders have posted that
they're welcoming new members,
Copy !req
431. Terra, Forager
and Superboy to the...
Copy !req
432. So, you're a public hero now?
Copy !req
433. It's time.
Copy !req
434. I guess it's time
I give this back.
Copy !req
435. I hope not.
Copy !req
436. If you don't trust me,
Copy !req
437. If you can't truly
forgive me...
Copy !req
438. I was hoping
you'd trust and forgive me.
Copy !req
439. You made hard choices,
and I dredged up old wounds.
Copy !req
440. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
441. M'gann, I can't imagine
my life without you.
Copy !req
442. So if you'll still have me...
Copy !req
443. Mmm.
Copy !req
