Justice League: Warworld (2023)

[bunniefuu]

Come on, I'm good for it.

Payday's Tuesday.

[g*n fires]

[neighs]

[Jesse] Ha!

You see that, Griz?

Plugged it

right through the middle!

-[g*n fires]

-[woman gasps]

[chuckles]

Almost got him. [laughs]

Whiskey.

[Tom] Don't get

a lot of strangers

passing through.

Certainly not

pretty ones like you.

Uh, anyone tell you

you're a pretty fine piece?

Girl, are you

hard of hearing

or something?

I heard. Go away.

[groaning]

You just made the biggest

and last mistake of your life.

[growls softly]

[groans]

[man grunts]

[groans]

Argh!

[screams]

[g*n clicks]

[g*n fires]

[Jonah Hex] No one likes

a back-sh**t, Tom.

Outside, now.

I apologize for my men.

They can be rough

around the edges.

But then again, so is the town.

Perhaps you'd join me

for a drink?

I'll give you the good stuff.

Those were some moves

you had, downstairs.

Never seen anyone

fight like that.

You're a wonder.

[exhales]

How'd you get the face?

By trusting the wrong people.

It's a tale

as old as time itself.

Gold is discovered

and everyone is happy.

And then greed

shows its ugly face

and ruins everything.

Those so-called

honest townsfolk

took over the bank,

which had

repossessed

their land

for delinquent

interest charges.

Which you did legal, I'm sure.

Now, my judges,

every one said

we was in the right.

But they stole back the gold

they used to pay

for their stakes,

and this cannot stand.

We're a civilized society,

a land of laws.

If this bunch gets their way,

why then, where would we be?

I'm guessing

you're going to tell me.

There's an opportunity

for you here.

Help me fight

for law and order.

-Help me--

-[door opens]

[man] Hyah!

Hyah!

-Whoa!

-[neighs]

We don't want no trouble.

Heading to the depot

for a fresh start.

Huh?

-[groans]

-[Cinnamon] Pa!

[groans]

[groaning]

[gasping]

No!

[Cinnamon] Ma!

[gasps]

[whistles]

[Cinnamon grunts]

Do it.

-[g*n fires]

-[groans]

[both grunting]

sh**t that damn woman.

[g*n fires]

k*ll her!

[g*ns f*ring]

Open the gate!

Argh!

Argh!

[g*n f*ring]

[sobbing] They k*lled

them both.

I know it's hard.

Now you've got to be brave.

[Bat Lash] I told 'em

they should sneak off at night,

but they didn't want to leave

behind what little they had.

Now they got less.

Bat Lash, you damn fool!

Why you making trouble

with Hex's men?

Because sometimes trouble's

got to be made, Sheriff.

What do you care?

You don't ranch,

farm, or dig gold.

You don't have

a dog in this fight.

And why are you mixing in this?

I'm not. Just passing through.

Supplies would be appreciated.

Does it look like

we got extra stuff?

At least give us your name

before you ride off.

They're coming again!

Got a present

for all you stubborn folk.

[neighs]

I hope it sends you to hell.

[Diana] sh**t the wheels.

[neighs]

[grunts and groans]

[all] Hyah!

Oh, my God.

[Cinnamon] She's an angel.

That's why she's not hurt.

Come to save us all.

-Are you okay?

-[sheriff] Okay?

-How are you

not axle grease?

-[g*n fires]

[g*n f*ring]

[man grunts]

[groans]

[groans]

I've had a think,

and it may just be easier

to k*ll you all.

Eat lead.

[b*ll*ts ricocheting]

[grunts]

[Diana grunts]

[Jonah Hex grunts]

What the hell are you?

Well, you certainly kicked

that hornet's nest in the face.

Now Hex will k*ll us all.

[Bat Lash]

He was gonna

do that anyway.

She saved us.

[sheriff] Saved us?

We're starving

and dying of thirst here!

I passed a storehouse

on my way in.

Plenty of supplies there.

Great idea!

Go ask Mr. Hex

if'n you could load

a wagon or two of his stuff

after blowing him up!

[Bat Lash] Not a bad idea.

The supplies, I mean.

Need a distraction, though.

On occasion,

I can be distracting.

[door slams open]

[grunting]

My mistake was showing mercy.

I took half measures.

No more.

You got something to say?

Well, sir,

that outside, was a goat rope.

Oh, it sure was.

[Jonah Hex] And you boys think

you could make

better decisions than me?

[Tom] That's right.

[Jonah Hex gulps]

I ever tell you

about this timepiece?

My great grandfather carried it

through the Revolutionary w*r.

My grandpappy,

through the w*r of 1812.

My pa had it during

the Mexican-American w*r.

And I took it through the w*r

between the states.

[watch ticking]

Had to hide it for a year

from the Yankee Guards

after I was captured at Shiloh.

Uncomfortable,

but still keeps the time.

We don't give a damn

about your grandpappy's watch!

Oh...

But you very much should.

You see,

my family has always settled

their disputes with this watch.

Now, when the chimes stop,

make your move.

[ticking continues]

[ticking slows]

[ticker jams and repeats]

[clock ticker jamming]

[ticking regularly]

Been meaning to fix that.

[both groan]

I'll load up.

Need five minutes.

[Jonah Hex]

I was wondering

when you'd show up.

Throwing your lot in

with a bunch of thieves

doesn't match

your code now,

does it?

And realizing that mistake,

here you are.

Looks like.

Maybe we could strike a deal.

But of course,

you'd have to convince me.

And I'm going to need

both types of convincing.

You think you can handle

being physical with me?

-[Diana grunts]

-[Jonah Hex groans]

[grunts]

[grunts]

-[Jonah Hex groans]

-[Diana grunts]

[strains]

[groans] We hijack

the train at Sweetwater,

and load the nitro.

We detonate it

by the barricade.

It'll vaporize everyone inside

any minute now.

[exhales]

-[neighing]

-[Bat Lash] Hyah!

[man groans]

[groans]

[groans]

I got to say,

you're real handy

to have around.

You trust me?

Damn straight, I do.

Get everyone

out of the barricade.

I'm gonna end this

once and for all.

[train whistle blows]

[Diana] Hyah!

[man grunts]

[groans]

Argh!

[train whistle blows]

Hurry up,

let's get out of here!

Are you crazy?

You go out there,

you'll get these kids sh*t.

Sheriff, we've got to leave.

The angel's coming back,

and she's coming back angry.

[train whistle blows]

[exploding]

[neighs]

[sighs]

I'm putting in for hazard pay.

Look!

Since there's, uh,

nothing left to fight over,

you could stay.

With us.

[g*n fires]

[groans]

Nothing's over until I say.

[g*n f*ring]

[Jonah Hex grunting]

-[Diana grunting]

-[Jonah Hex groaning]

Ahhh!

[exhales]

[Jonah Hex groans]

Would you have stayed?

[vultures screeching]

[swords clashing]

[men groaning]

[Bruce grunting]

[w*rlord] Welcome to my home.

Welcome to Shamballah.

[both grunting]

[grunts]

[grunts]

Ugly one, aren't you?

[Mariah] And the prisoners?

To the mines.

Their sword arms will be put

to work swinging picks.

Until the next

mercenary arrives.

We should have k*lled Deimos

when we had the chance.

I understand your ire, friend.

But we cannot change the past,

only ensure the same mistakes

are not made in the future.

Gather those that are able.

We'll strike back,

finish Deimos once and for all.

[Bruce chuckles]

Something funny, sl*ve?

Mercenary.

There is a difference.

Not from where I'm standing.

You take an army

to the wizard's,

your queen might as well

look for another king.

You'll be dead

before you see his face.

And let me guess,

for your freedom,

you'll lead us

to his throne room?

No.

For my freedom

and a pile of gold.

You give me those,

I'll draw a map to his castle.

Mercenary, remember?

You can't possibly

be considering this.

How can we trust him?

We can't.

That's why he's coming with us.

The hell I will.

You want your coin?

You want your freedom?

Then you'll earn it

like the rest of us.

Or you can enjoy

the darkness of the mines

until you're old and gray.

Is this necessary?

Be grateful,

it's only one chain.

Machiste...

For Skartaris!

[neighing]

Mariah, scout ahead.

It's high time we make camp.

It's best to wait for night.

Night?

The darkness.

You know as well as I,

the sun shines

forever on Skartaris.

[Bruce] Yes.

Where did you say

you were from, mercenary?

I...

It matters not.

You come to k*ll a king

with a mercenary horde,

wearing a strange helmet,

and yet you don't know

where you're from.

I am your prisoner,

not your gossiping harlot.

There's a wooded glade,

an arrow's sh*t away.

Lead on.

[w*rlord] Mercenary.

How long now?

Across the Desert of Dreams,

where men see visions

that are more than visions.

Then a short ride

through the Dragon Sea.

What can you tell us

about this wizard?

His fortress?

[Bruce] Not much.

Not... Why are you here, then?

I told you, I could

take you to his castle.

Beyond that,

you're the ones

intent on dying.

You fear his magic.

I don't fear much of anything.

Besides, I don't

believe in magic.

What do you believe in?

[Bruce] Steel. Gold.

The evil

in the hearts

of all men.

Then you keep poor company.

My king is a good man.

Do you think so?

Because he fights

for truth and justice?

No.

All men are evil.

He knows as well as I,

the darkness

that resides in our souls.

Then it is up to us

to stand up to the darkness.

[Joker laughing]

I've seen a jester

slit the throat

of his own king.

Men made of ice

steal from the poor,

and women more cat than woman

manipulate the just.

And no one could stop them.

Because evil

is as unstoppable as the rain.

That's why we fight

for those that can't.

A good man knows

that the darkness

will always be there,

but stands against it anyway.

Unlike mercenary scum like you,

who care only about yourself.

How did you come

to be in his employ?

He found me.

He promised me riches

if I would take your head.

[chuckles] And you took it

because death is nothing

to a man with no life.

You know nothing about me.

Neither do you.

[creature roaring]

What is it?

[roaring continues]

To the trees!

[w*rlord grunts]

Argon and Rapasil.

And you,

you may have saved my life,

but don't think you can escape.

[rustling]

I'm not up here to escape.

I'm waiting to see

what those creatures

were running from.

[rumbling]

[roars]

Like hell.

[w*rlord shouts]

[growls]

[man grunting]

[grunting]

[Bruce] There.

Baroth Mountain.

[Machiste] Hold.

What is it?

I'm not sure.

[all screaming]

[growls]

[gasps]

[growls]

To shore!

[man shrieking] Argh!

[growling]

[grunts]

[growls]

The sooner

this cursed quest is over,

the better.

It's... It's...

It's you, isn't it?

Visions that are not visions.

[grunts]

[Machiste grunting]

[screeches]

Climb! [grunts]

-[howls]

-[shrieks]

[woman screaming]

[creature screeches]

Here! [grunts]

[straining]

[screeches]

[yelling]

[strains]

[screeches]

[struggling]

[yelling]

[roars]

[Mariah grunting]

[Mariah groans]

Mariah.

Something isn't right.

What isn't right

is we're taking too long.

Every second we waste

is one in which more could die.

I'm going in, even if

you're too scared.

Machiste, no!

[Machiste groans]

It's hopeless.

What good are we

against such magic?

Weren't you the one who said

good men stood against evil,

despite the odds?

What is it?

How did you know?

I'm not sure.

[screeches]

[creaking]

[roaring]

Run. Run!

[roars]

[roaring]

[grunts]

[clanging]

[Bruce strains]

Give me the key.

[creature growling]

This is no time! Hurry!

You can't.

I can.

You know the rule

when running from a beast,

be faster than

the man you're with.

[growls]

[w*rlord screams]

Where is w*rlord?

Dead.

Who are you?

I don't know.

There was a wreck, I think,

and then Deimos found me.

[Mariah] Enough chatter!

Help us out of here.

We can still k*ll the wizard,

and save Skartaris.

No.

I want no part of your quest.

Besides, there's no time

to save you.

But there is enough time

to save myself.

[g*n fires]

[Deimos] Ah-ah-ah.

You don't want my magic wand

to speak again, do you?

So, you've returned.

And your mission?

Completed.

The w*rlord is dead.

This was your plan all along.

[Deimos] Of course.

att*ck w*rlord, lose.

Convince the w*rlord

to come here

where I can k*ll him myself.

[laughs]

I'll take my payment now.

After you fulfill

one small task for me.

Do this last thing,

and you will have your riches.

Do it, coward.

I can't...

I won't...

let you k*ll them.

Ah-ha! Yes.

Well, I'm not surprised.

Oh, well, one less person

I don't have to pay.

I should let you

k*ll each other.

[Deimos] You!

Time to die, wizard.

My sentiments exactly.

[g*n fires]

[g*n fires]

[g*n fires]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[Deimos yells]

Ugh!

Enough!

[grunts]

[Deimos] How dare you!

You pathetic mortals think

that I, the great Deimos,

would fall so easily?

I am more than

mere flesh and blood.

I am magic incarnate.

I am the ruler of Skartaris.

I am the master of this realm.

I am your death!

[roars]

[roars]

Can you fight?

Free me and find out.

[all groaning]

[both grunt]

[hissing]

[woman grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[groaning]

[w*rlord grunts]

[grunts]

I know this.

I've been trapped

here for years.

My name is Travis Morgan,

and I am the w*rlord.

Deimos!

[woman grunts]

[groans]

I will have

my revenge, w*rlord.

My Lord, where is Machiste?

I'm sorry, Mariah.

It's over now.

We can return home.

I could use

more warriors like you.

Come back with us.

No. I need...

To find a way back.

Yes.

But to where?

[rustling]

Home.

Come with us.

Morgan...

No.

This is my home, my people.

And I am their king.

I need to be here

to protect them from Deimos.

Good luck.

Sir? Agent Kent.

Main office sent me.

Ah, the new partner.

I'm...

Agent Faraday. I know.

Purple Heart in Iwo Jima.

Founder of the

Central Bureau of Intelligence.

Lead agent during

the Janus Directive incident.

Yeah, I know the resume, son.

I lived it.

They really threw you

in the deep end

with your first

assignment, huh?

What did they

tell you about this?

[clears throat] At 0700 hours,

strange lights were seen

over the town of Grover's Mill.

Six witnesses claim they saw

something fall from the sky.

I'm thinking

it's the Russians, sir.

Another Sputnik.

It came from space, all right.

But think... farther.

We've been dispatched here

on behest of Majestic-12,

a program that investigates

UFO sightings.

This might just qualify.

It's up to us

to interrogate the witnesses

and find out what happened.

Now's the time

to prove yourself.

Are you ready to uphold truth,

justice, and the American way,

no matter what?

Yes, sir. No matter what.

Then get ready

to meet the peanut gallery.

Ho there, Officer...

Officer Wayne, highway patrol.

Witnesses are inside.

Excellent.

Officer Wayne,

my partner, Agent Kent.

Do I know you?

Let's get started.

After you, Officer.

Officer?

Officer Wayne?

Yes, apologies. I was...

Never mind.

Strange fellow.

You all right there, son?

Just dandy, sir.

-Oh, thank God...

-We've been here an hour.

-...finally an authority.

-Is it safe to go out there?

Gentlemen, ladies, please.

I'm Agent Kent.

And he's here to ask us

about the little green men.

[chuckles]

[woman] This is no joke!

I know what I saw.

We all saw it, lady.

How long is this going to take?

As long as it needs to, sir.

[chuckles softly]

It takes as long as it takes.

For Uncle Sam

and his United States, man.

Well, I am happy to stay

as long as the agent needs.

I'm not.

I've got a tanker

in a snow drift

and a route to keep.

But we know

you hit the snowbank.

The pileup's why

we saw the blasted thing.

Please, everyone...

You got a problem?

Well, you could have been

driving more carefully, is all.

-Lot of nerve you got!

-[Agent Faraday whistles]

The American government

appreciates your cooperation

in this matter.

Isn't that right, Agent Kent?

Uh, yes.

Please take a seat.

Names and occupations,

beginning with...

Potter. Long-haul trucker.

Mr. and Mrs. Lang.

[giggles] As of last Tuesday.

We're on our honeymoon.

Snapper Carr.

Temporary weekend manager!

You're not going

to call the owner, are you?

I really need

this gig to work out.

Burroughs Ginsburg Kerouac.

Occupation, drifter!

All right, Mr. free spirit,

want to tell my partner

what you saw?

I was hitching down Highway 5.

I politely step

onto the shoulder

so people can see me.

[Potter] Ha!

That loon jumps out, I brake,

and suddenly I'm in a snowbank

with two cars on my bumper.

That's when we hear it.

It was shrill and whistling

like a scream.

Made your teeth vibrate.

[shivers]

We look up,

and. Agent, I swear,

overhead was a flying saucer,

like right out of the movies!

-Then--

-[drifter] Bam!

[imitates expl*si*n]

It hits something

in the distance.

And then...

And then...

And then?

This light starts coming

from where it crashed,

and it's not right.

I've never seen

a light like that.

I never want to see that again.

The thing slammed

into the old barn

at the end of the road.

When we get there,

there's footprints around it.

We figure, hey, someone's hurt.

We split up to look.

I walk around back,

and that's when I see it.

We saw it!

My hand to God,

it was an alien

running out of that barn.

Ask that girl

if you don't believe us.

She saw it, too.

Name and occupation, ma'am.

I'm sorry. Um...

You're asking? Oh, Ms. Prince.

I'm a secretary.

Mainly a typist.

I... I was on my way to work

when it all happened.

I...

I think...

It's all fuzzy.

I... I remember

lights in the sky,

but I was alone.

I'm sorry. I must be

in shock from the accident.

I don't remember anything

until Officer Wayne

brought us here.

-I'm... I'm sorry.

-[Snapper] Psst.

I didn't say this before

because I didn't want

everyone to hear.

I was at the counter

when that officer

walks in with the lot of them.

Says to wait

for the authorities,

but I didn't call the cops,

and there's no phone

at the old mill's barn.

So, how did he show up so fast?

Agent, we all followed

that alien's footprints.

But when we got back

to the barn, I counted.

There were five sets

of tracks going

into the woods,

and six coming back.

Are you saying the alien

might still be in this area?

I'm saying the alien...

[whispering] might be

in this room.

It could've changed its shape.

Look like one of us.

Project images into your mind.

Confuse you.

Anyone acting odd may not be

who they say they are, man.

If I were you,

I'd look to anyone

who seems different.

Foreign. Strange.

Weird.

[Snapper] Un-American.

Not like you and me.

And when you find them,

you got to take care

of them right away.

Or else you'll give them

a foothold into your mind!

[whispering] I think it's her.

[Snapper] That cop

showed up out of nowhere.

[drifter] Are you

gonna protect us?

[Mr. Lang] Will you

do your job?

[eerie music echoing]

Agent Kent,

answer the question.

Yes.

I... I mean, no.

I mean, I'm...

Sir, I'm just trying

to get information, okay?

[eerie music continues]

And [loudly] would you turn

that damn jukebox off?

But it is off.

[takes deep breath]

[exhales]

Uh, excuse me.

The music.

We hear it too.

I'm sorry.

I have to ask you to go back

with the other witnesses.

No. Listen to us.

What? Wait, what...

What did you...

[creature grunts]

What was that?

Those images...

What images?

[gasps] It's like we said!

It's them!

Sending visions

into your brain.

They're the aliens!

I don't know

what's going on, but--

Don't take a step further!

Kent, back away from them.

Back away? k*ll them!

We're not safe

till they're gone!

[eerie music echoing]

The music.

It's coming from the car.

Damn it,

if you don't act, I will.

[grunts]

[Potter groans]

How did you do that?

I... I don't know.

[Potter groans]

Your neck!

Well, hey, looks like

the alien was me.

[laughs]

[growling]

[gasps]

He's not human.

Holy sh*t!

None of them are human!

Kent, run!

[g*n fires]

[growling]

[Clark groans]

[straining]

[Diana grunting]

-[growls]

-[Clark strains]

[Diana grunts]

How did you...

I don't know.

But this feels familiar.

[Bruce grunts]

[g*n clicks]

Huh.

[alien growls softly]

[growling]

We have to get out of here.

[tires screech]

Get in.

[growling]

[engine revving]

What is going on?

[Bruce] An alien invasion.

But what about us?

The music,

those images,

they felt like--

Memories.

They felt like memories.

That's impossible.

[growling]

[Diana] Whatever is going on,

we need to get out.

[tires screeching]

[groans]

-Argh!

-[growls]

[grunting]

[grunts]

Glove compartment.

-[growls]

-[grunts]

Flare g*n.

Oil tankers

have an exhaust port,

which keeps the gas

from sparking an expl*si*n.

Damage that, expose it to heat,

and you turn the truck

into a b*mb.

How do you know all this?

I don't know. I just do.

[Bruce] We got one sh*t.

Make it good.

[exploding]

[Clark] Ha-ha! Yes!

What the hell is that?

[brakes screech]

[g*n fires]

Kent!

Thank God,

you got out.

Faraday?

I knew you'd come.

Smart kid like you

put it together.

It started with the UFO,

and here he is...

the leader,

the alien head honcho.

That one doesn't look

anything like the others.

How do you know?

Look at it!

Even if it's not with them,

it doesn't belong here.

You have to k*ll it.

It's the only way

to stop their invasion.

And after you do,

we'll put these two down.

What?

No! They're not aliens.

The minute they touched you,

you started seeing things.

They infected you

with their alien powers.

How else could you hit

that creature across the room?

Tell me I'm wrong!

Tell me!

You saw those people transform.

We can't trust any of them.

We have to k*ll them

before they k*ll us.

You said you wanted

to uphold the American way,

to prove yourself.

This is the time! Do it!

I don't know what's going on.

I don't know

why I've got these powers,

or why I'm seeing those images.

But I do know one thing.

I am not going to m*rder people

just because I'm scared.

That's not the American way.

Oh, my God.

You're one of them.

[Clark groans]

[grunts]

No.

[grunts]

[groans]

[Diana] He's changing.

Everything is.

It was all an illusion.

Not everything.

We're real.

And so is Faraday.

[groans softly]

And so is this.

You flattened it

with your chest.

I started feeling stronger

as soon as we came in here.

Something about this light...

-this...

-[Bruce] Color.

There was no color outside.

None of us even noticed.

And the alien leader,

it looks like he's more

of a prisoner than we are.

[shrieking]

He's fighting it.

Whatever the machine is doing.

[metal clanging in distance]

[door opens]

[groaning softly]

[groaning]

[screaming]

He's being tortured.

Help me get him out of there.

We don't have

all the facts here.

-For all we know,

this creature is--

-No.

t*rture is wrong.

Period.

[Diana grunts]

-[growls]

-[grunting]

[growls]

[struggling]

[grunts]

[Clark groaning]

[screams]

[groaning]

[groans]

[creature growls]

[growling]

[J'onn J'onzz groaning]

[J'onn J'onzz gasping]

[grunts]

You've got quite

a grip there, Ms. Prince.

I doubt it is "Ms. Prince."

I think this identity

is every bit the illusion

that that evil

Martian leader was.

[groans]

Ah, then it worked.

You've come at last.

Easy there, fella.

Looks like

you've been

through a lot.

On the contrary, Clark,

I've put you, all three of you,

through a lot.

Bruce. Diana.

Yes, those are your true names.

And I know you well,

for I've lived

inside your minds

for months now,

helping create the illusions

you've lived.

Why?

Not by choice.

These machines usurped

my telepathic power,

and used it to enslave you

and countless others.

I don't understand any of this.

Where on earth are we?

Not Earth,

w*r World.

An immensely ancient

planet-sized w*apon

that's powered by the hate

and fear of its prisoners,

I have been forced

to create realities.

part illusion, part technology,

to wrench negative emotions

from the poor souls

trapped here.

But you helped us.

That music,

drawing each of us here.

Yes. After months of searching,

I found a back door

in the system.

I called to you

the only way I could.

It took a dozen lifetimes.

But you never gave up.

I learned that from you,

as well as courage

and faith.

It was time well spent.

[alarm blaring]

He's coming! You must hide.

Find the zeta chamber.

Escape while you still can.

We'll bring you with us.

[door thuds]

[thumping]

You called us here to save you.

At first, yes.

I thought only of myself.

Having lived in your minds, I--

[thumping continues]

Good night, ladies.

[all grunting]

[groans softly]

Oh, you three are adorable.

[groaning]

Oh. What?

-They're not dead.

-[Diana] No.

In fact, I think

this one's just being born.

Replacements

for the ones I saw die.

[Bruce] They're clones.

Copies of people stolen

over hundreds of years

from various worlds,

various realities.

[Diana] So, we're clones, too?

No.

Many of the prisoners

are originals.

Evidently, they produce

superior hatred and terror.

You'd make

a great detective,

Officer Wayne.

[Bruce] I doubt it.

There's too much I don't know,

like how I even know

how to work this database,

or my real name,

or who's watching us.

Yes, I sense that, too.

It must be that creature

who att*cked us.

Hmm. This looks familiar.

[Lobo whistles]

No escape for you, chump.

Looks like you're gonna get

some one-on-one quality time

with the boss man.

[J'onn J'onzz groans]

Oh, you can say that again.

He ain't gonna be too happy

that all of them illusions

you've been pumping

into the prisoners' minds

are taking a commercial break.

[groans]

No fight left in you.

Don't know if you even

need these brain binders.

Well, you wanted him.

You got him.

Eh, what's left of him.

[Mongul] The last green

Martian in the universe...

This universe.

What a disappointment you are.

Millennia ago,

she called to me,

promised me power,

and I came.

I k*lled every last Larga here.

But where was the power?

Oh, boy, this story again.

It never gets old.

Now starts the key part.

We were now one.

The most devastating

w*apon in the universe,

a planet k*ller.

But where was the key?

Spoiler alert, not here.

Even without it,

we are powerful, eternal...

thanks to the unrelenting

terror and v*olence

of our treasured guests,

But the key,

[whispering]

she whispered to us.

It took a dozen jumps

to a dozen more realities

before we found

actual living Martians.

Thousands of them

in dozens of universes,

and still no key.

Then, our faithful dog here...

Mercenary. Yeah.

[Mongul] The last

green Martian.

You had no key.

You knew of no key.

You were useful

only as a vision-caster.

And now...

-[grunts]

-...even in that,

you fail.

There is but one small service

you have yet

to render the w*r World.

That creature said

you hated g*ns.

Apparently he spoke the truth.

Evidently, I'm very particular

about how I dress.

[Wonder Woman chuckles]

As I must be, too.

I like it.

[Superman] Me, too.

Clark! It's you!

I don't know why

I didn't see it before.

I... I'm sorry.

I still don't remember.

But you're just a baby.

Much too young to be my Clark.

There are other

differences, too.

I see that now.

Then you're starting

to remember.

I remember this.

I remember...

Superman.

Other than that,

just flashes of a life.

I remember this room.

The zeta chamber.

Can you take us there?

Yes.

[J'onn J'onzz screaming]

-[Mongul] Louder...

-[groaning]

...J'onn J'onzz.

[screaming]

All of w*r World

must hear your cries.

Please, don't!

[gasps]

[groans]

[Mongul] And know

that there is no hope

for them, either.

[groans]

[Lobo] On your feet.

It's not as good

if we can't see your face.

He's gonna finish you off, now.

I'm gonna let you get

one good sh*t in.

Go out in a blaze of glory.

Make it count.

[groans]

[J'onn J'onzz grunts]

[computers beeping]

I could have just punched him.

I wanted to see if I was right

about what those things

were for.

I was.

Yes,

this is how I arrived here.

I was bound... with this.

It's hard to believe a rope

could hold someone

as strong as you.

I don't think

it's an ordinary rope.

These controls

are surprisingly intuitive.

Where will it take us?

Virtually anywhere

we want to go.

Prisoners of w*r World,

Mongul speaks.

Observe this being.

He is stronger than you.

He is wiser than you.

Watch him die at our hands.

And know, there is no hope.

If we want to leave,

this is the time.

Understand,

there's an army of warriors

between us and him.

I'm strangely comfortable

with those odds.

I'd say we've

been in situations

like this before.

[chuckles]

I was just gonna send you guys,

and then go back and save him.

[Mongul] So ends

the very last green Martian.

[Lobo] Whoa, that's it?

I thought

you were gonna

say a little more.

Because you are useful to us,

Lobo,

we give you

a measure of freedom,

-but do not--

-[Lobo] Like...

we thought this

ugly green Martian

would give us

the key to w*r World

so we could actually

fire the damn thing

instead of just

sitting on our ass

for 10,000 years.

Whoa!

Uh, just yanking

your chain a little.

I'm all about breaking

the awkward tension.

Your screams

will inspire our workers

for decades, fool.

Oh, come on, boss man.

I didn't mean nothing.

I just thought

we needed to stop

and smell the flowers for once.

You know, slow things down.

Why?

[alarm blaring]

[alien] Lord Mongul,

there's a disturbance

on level 12, citadel ring.

[Mongul] Another

tedious rebellion.

Send an enforcement detail

to all levels.

Reports of a security division

being overwhelmed on level ten.

Close battle gates

and scramble

insurrection units.

Showing malfunction

on level eight battle gate.

Malfunction?

[alien] It's been

torn out of its tracks.

All communications

lost on level four.

Lower defensive bulkheads.

-[J'onn J'onzz] Come.

-[alien] Additional breaches

on levels six and seven.

Security divisions

are being overrun.

Power outage on level two.

Defensive bulkheads

raised by outside force.

Yeah, that'd be

Wonder Woman

or Superman.

But not Batman.

That would screw up

his lower back.

I had you k*ll them.

k*ll them?

I thought you said "Free them."

Oh, well, honest mistake.

Could happen to anybody.

But I think it's great

we're finally talking.

Treachery.

I know, right?

You'd think you could

trust a paid k*ller,

and not expect

he'd totally try to k*ll you

and take over the most

badass w*apon in the universe.

But, oh, well! [laughing]

Yeah!

Arm yourselves.

There he is.

-At the foot of the leader.

-[Batman] On it.

k*ll them.

You die now.

[both grunt]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[Wonder Woman grunting]

[ricocheting]

[grunts]

[Wonder Woman grunts]

[grunting]

Yeah! Don't take no sh*t

from those Martians!

You can't k*ll us.

We are linked...

w*r World and Mongul.

We shall see.

[growls softly]

What are you doing?

He's still breathing!

Frag him!

You owe me that Martian.

I put in that back door.

I freed you!

And who do you think

planted this idea in your mind?

[Martian groans]

The entire planet

is coming through that door.

We can't hold them off

for long.

Come with us.

I warned you to escape

while you could, Wonder Woman.

[Batman grunts]

Start.

[grunts]

[J'onn J'onzz] The legend

you heard was true, Mongul.

The Largas did indeed

hide the key

among the Martians.

Mars, locked in

an eternal civil w*r...

-[Mongul groans]

-[J'onn J'onzz] ...knowing

we would never work together,

the Largas secretly

hid half the key

in the DNA

of the white Martians.

The other half in the green.

Neither side knew.

No. w*r World is ours.

Frag you! It's mine!

[grunts]

[J'onn J'onzz]

Until only one Martian

of either race survived.

I am the last of my kind.

Eventually,

you would exterminate

these whites as well.

And then you would know.

w*r World is the universe's

ultimate w*apon.

You will never wield it.

[rumbling]

J'onn, what are you doing?

What must be done, Superman.

I don't like the look of this.

[J'onn J'onzz]

A w*apon of such horror

must not be allowed

to roam the multiverse

causing endless

death and destruction.

Someday, it may

fall into worse hands

even than Mongul's.

[rattling]

He set w*r World

to self-destruct.

J'onn, you can't.

They're all prisoners...

the people of Skartaris,

even the clones.

[J'onn J'onzz]

So I thought

when I arrived.

But I have spent time

in their minds.

w*r World's algorithm

simply gives them

what they think they want,

then leads them deeper

into their hatred and terror.

[Lobo groaning]

[Mongul exhales]

You will fail.

There is not fear or rage

enough on all w*r World

to do what you plan.

[J'onn J'onzz] You are right.

But the richest vein

remains untapped.

[groans and screams]

[screaming]

The zeta chamber!

There's no time.

[rumbling]

The three of you are needed.

You will come with me. Now.

[exploding]

A handful of lives

on a single planet...

that is nothing

compared to the crisis

that is to come.

The absolute annihilation

of everything, everywhere.
