01x01 - Secret Origins

Post by bunniefuu »

Would you look at that?

A little slice of heaven.

If your idea of heaven

Is a barren, lifeless rock.

You have the soul of a poet.

Carter, we didn't
come for the view.

Our mission here
is purely scientific.

Are you getting any readings?

No detectable levels of h2o.

Hold on.

What?

Could be an ice crystal.

Unh!

No. It almost looks organic.

Carter! Look out!

Aah!

Carter!

Carter, do you read
me? Are you all right?

Repeat... Carter,
do you read me?

Unh! I'm ok, ed.

Ed? Come in, ed.

Dead.

Unh!

Aah!

Man: remember, barbecue
at my place saturday night.

You're all invited.

Venus is rising early,

And you know what that means.

I'm there. Sounds great.

See you then.

Ha ha! You guys are animals.

Good night.

Batman: I doubt that
modification is legal.

Should have stuck
to your desk jobs.

Superman: need a hand?

Thanks, but I can handle this.

They don't look so tough.

Aah! Oh!

Unh!

Unh!

Unh...

What happened?

You tell me.

I don't know. I... I saw images,

Just so intense,

And then... Well,
that's all I remember.

Obviously, they didn't want
to leave evidence behind.

What's this all about?

Over the past few months,

I've detected several
security breaches

In our global deep-space
monitoring network.

And no one's claimed
responsibility?

No. There's more to
this than meets the eye.

I'd like to stay
and look into it,

But I'm expected
back in metropolis.

Another key to the city?

Here. It's a signal watch.

Call if you need any more help.

Right.

They've stockpiled
enough nuclear missiles

To destroy our entire planet,

And yet they
continue to build more.

We demand they
stop this madness!

All, chanting: stop the
madness! Stop the madness!

Man: weapons of
mass destruction.

My people believe a lasting
peace can only be achieved

By eliminating them.

Different man: nonsense!

Those weapons are our only
defense against aggression.

Is this your official position?

No. General wells does not
speak for our government.

But, senator carter,
only a fool would...

General, when I was
an astronaut on mars,

I survived an experience

Which profoundly
changed my life.

Looking at earth
from that distance,

I saw, for the first time,

How small and
fragile our planet is.

Its fate is in our hands.

Ladies and gentlemen,
that is a responsibility

We must not take lightly.

Therefore, today I propose

A bold new solution for peace,

One that would use a
force more powerful

Than any before,

A force dedicated to
the good of all mankind,

A force known to
all as superman!

With all due respect, senator,

We can't entrust the security

Of the entire world to one man.

I understand your
feelings, general,

And when senator carter
first approached me,

I was reluctant to get involved.

But after meeting with
him and his advisors,

I became convinced that I
could make a difference.

I have fought hard
over the years

To earn your trust,

And I solemnly
swear to all of you

That I will continue
to uphold the ideals

Of truth and justice,

Not just for america,
but for all the world.

Thank you, superman.

Good evening. This is
snapper carr reporting.

It's been 6 months

Since senator j. Allen carter's

Dramatic disarmament
plan was ratified.

While superman has been
working around the clock

To disarm hundreds
of deadly warheads,

Public support for
the plan has swelled.

Superman rocks!

Carr: yet some remain skeptical.

Hey, the big guy's heart's

In the right place,
but give me a break.

I'm the fastest man alive...

And even I can't be
in 5 places at once.

Carr: still, with more missiles
being dismantled every day,

Most of us will sleep better

Knowing that superman
is watching over us.

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Ohh...

Unh!

No!

Batman!

Let's go!

Medic! He needs help!

What happened?

I'm not sure.

Don't even think about it.

Man: look at the
size of that thing!

Stay back. It's still hot.

What was that?

Aah! Aah! Look out!

Incredible! Is it
some kind of machine?

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Unh!

Man: is he ok?

Woman: oh! Is he alive?

Aah! Aah! Look out!

Come on, guys. Are
you getting this?

We better get out
of here before...

Aah!

Whatever that thing is,

I've got to stop it.

Look!

It's not safe here. Get out.

Aah!

Aah!

Are you ok?

Freaky.

Superman?

Where's he going?

Confirmed. We
have visual contact.

On my mark, fire!

Man: tactical 7.

Full frontal as*ault!

After hours of intense battle,

The heart of the
city lies in ruins.

As the devastation continues,

The question on everyone's lips

Is where is superman?

Meanwhile, we're getting reports

That similar objects have
landed all around the world...

In paris...

Cairo...

Malaysia.

And more are
arriving by the hour.

Easy, girl. Easy.

These omens don't
bode well, mother.

Mankind may be facing
its darkest hour.

Then mankind will
have to face it alone.

How can you say that?

Whatever happens
beyond these shores

Is not our concern.

Here the gods will protect us.

I hope you're right.

Batman: hold it, superman!

Destroying government
property isn't your style.

What's going on?

See for yourself.

What is it?

Mankind's only hope.

He's been trying to reach
out to me telepathically,

But that stasis
field interfered.

When his message finally broke
through, I came to rescue him.

What's he doing here?

The invasion.

I came to warn you,

But I was captured
and imprisoned here.

They wouldn't listen.

Big surprise.

I sense you do not trust me.

Perhaps this will help.

I am j'onn j'onzz.

Don't take it personally, j'onn.

He doesn't trust anyone.

A wise policy.

We'll need to contact
the joint chiefs right away.

Man: stop right there, superman.

You're trespassing
in a restricted area.

Our orders are to
keep that freak here.

Wait. I'll vouch for
him. You must let us go.

I don't think so.

But the world's
security may be at stake.

That's why he'll
never leave here alive.
