02x20 - Hereafter: Part II

[bunniefuu]

Previously on justice league...

Oh! Unh!

No!

Aah!

Unh! Oof!

We need to consider
replenishing our forces.

A new member? Who?

Rah!

When you've got lobo on your
team, who needs superman?

Oh...

Unh...

Oh!

Ugh...

Hello?

Anyone here?

Hello?

Superman to justice league.

Looks like we've somehow been
transported to a planet with a red sun.

My powers aren't working.

I'm picking up your homing
beacon, but I'm not getting audio.

I'll leave this channel open and
attempt to move closer to your position.

Unh.

Ha!

Ha!

Unh!

Ugh!

Should've taken the compact.

Down!

Stay!

Unh!

Oof!

Just you and me, huh?

Guess this is where we
find out who's top dog.

Yah!

Hyah!

If I'm interpreting
this thing right,

We're very close to each other.

I'm bunking in for the night
and heading out again at dawn.

Maybe we'll see each
other tomorrow.

Whoa!

End of the line, guys.

Get! Go on!

Oof!

No!

No!

Commlink... 02. Recognized.

Superman.

Access granted.

Hello! Is anybody in here?

Hello!

Warning! Watchtower now
running on reserve power.

System sleep in 30 seconds.

Override.

Unh!

What happened to everybody?

They d*ed, superman.

Thousands of years ago.

They don't build
them like this anymore.

What?

It didn't lose orbit
until only 75 years ago.

Remarkable feat of engineering.

What happened here?

I think you've already guessed.

This is earth.

Yes.

Thousands of
years in your future.

That simpleton toyman never truly
understood what he had created.

The disintegrator
beam he hit me with...

An energized tacchian stream.

That's what sent
you into the future.

Hello.

How'd you get here?

The old-fashioned way.

I'm immortal.

I'm the sole remaining
survivor of the human race.

All the people? Gone.

The earth belongs to
the cockroaches now.

Oh, and me.

I picked up your comm
signal a few weeks ago.

I used it to track you down.

You could have just called!

I was afraid you might
be holding a grudge.

If you'd switched off, I
might never have found you.

Grudge?

You tried to take
over the world... Twice.

In the long run,
not so important.

Take it from someone who knows.

You're insane.

True. But that doesn't
mean I'm not good company.

Say, you want to
come over to my house?

Like you've got
something better to do.

Before we go inside, I
want you to see this.

This is metropolis.

Was. I restored it myself.

Archaeology is
one of my hobbies.

Your funeral was lovely.

It was on all the networks.

I used to have the dvd.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

As a matter of fact, I did.

But I've had 30,000
years to reconsider.

It took you that long to figure
out that you're a power-mad despot?

It took me that long to
figure out that my lust

For power and control
was meaningless.

I don't know what kind of con

You're trying to run on me,

But you're wasting your time.

I should never have done it.

Done what?

This.

I destroyed the world.

It was only a few months
after you disappeared.

I had just perfected
an invention

That gave me total
control over gravity.

I proclaimed myself
master of the world.

The justice league would
never have allowed that.

True. They put up quite a fight.

Green lantern was
the most difficult.

I k*lled him right here.

No... It was over there.

In any case, I destroyed the
entire justice league that day.

But that wasn't all.

My newfound powers disrupted

The gravitational balance
of the entire solar system.

This is the result.

Ugh!

Oh!

Ha!

I should smash your skull.

Go ahead. We both
know it wouldn't work.

Aaugh!

What now?

Lunch.

Sorry about the mess.
I tried to tidy up a bit.

You did all this?

Every bit. I've had a
long time to tinker.

You have to keep
busy, or you'll go mad.

Self-help books. You
don't seem the type.

I read whatever I can find.

Anyway, I've got issues.

What with my destroying
the earth and all.

Hope you're hungry.

Like it?

I grew all the food myself.

House, garden view.

Some garden.

I spent quite a lot of time

Rediscovering the
principles of agriculture.

Something to do.

Like the rocket ship, I suppose.

Star ship.

I'd intended to leave the earth

And search the
universe for other life,

But I never did.

Too difficult?

Not at all. I decided I
deserved to be punished.

Savage!

Savage, wake up!

What? What is it?

You've got a time machine!

I spent several
decades working on it.

Then I lost interest.

Why didn't you finish it?

No attention span, I suppose.

No point, either.

There is a point. Don't you see?

You could go back
and stop yourself

From destroying the world.

No, I couldn't

This design doesn't
allow me to travel

Back to any time
where I already exist.

Yeah, but I'm already dead.

On your feet, mr. Wizard.
We've got work to do.

It's not working.

It's working perfectly.

We just don't have sufficient
power to keep it open.

You told me this place was powered
by its own hydroelectric dam.

10 Dams wouldn't be enough

To open a time warp for
more than a few seconds.

I take you've got
something in mind.

About 30 years ago some
of the roach creatures

Broke in and stole my
zero point generator.

It's the only power
source in the world

Capable of running
my time machine.

Can't you just
build another one?

I'm working on it. I'll be
finished in another 50 years.

Care to wait?

What do the roaches
want with a power cell?

For all intents and
purposes it's a miniature sun.

They use it to provide
warmth to their central mound.

We go on foot from here.

This is gonna be fun.

Trust me, it isn't.

Ah!

So much for stealth.
They know we're here.

Haa!

Aah!

Go! Go!

Look out!

Aah!

Superman! Aah!

You know, I suspected
the radiation

From the device might
restore your powers.

But I didn't want to
needlessly raise your hopes...

Or mine.

You're ready to send me back?

No. But I will, anyway.

You have to stop me
by any means necessary.

I promise.

4 Days from your arrival,

My younger self will steal
a piece of dwarf star matter

From a scientist
named ray palmer.

If you prevent that theft,

I'll never be able
to build my w*apon.

Ray palmer. Got it.

What happens to you?

Redemption, if I'm lucky.
Don't worry about me.

Return to your friends.
Do what you do best...

What you were born to do:

Save the world.

Say it. Say it.

Uncle.

I can't hear you.

He's beaten. Put the car down.

I was gonna.

Pretty good, huh?

When you got lobo on your team,

Who needs superman?

Bang. You're dead.

Aah!

Superman!

You're alive!

Are you ok? I don't believe it.

I'm fine. Very glad to be home.

Flash?

Something in my eyes.

Yeah. Tears.

It's ok, man. We all
feel the same way.

Superman, how can you be...

Alive?

Toyman sent me to the future.

Then vandal savage and I

Fought some giant
cockroaches and...

It's complicated.

I love the beard. Keeping it?

Not a chance.

You were greatly
missed, my friend,

By all of us.

Don't let him fool you.

Your death hit him as
hard as it did any of us.

Really?

No. I never believed you
were dead in the first place.

I guess that's sort
of a compliment.

Ain't this great?

The whole team
together again. All 8 of us.

Count again. You're fired.

What?

You're not justice
league material, lobo.

Go chase a bail jumper.

I don't care what
you do, just clear out.

This is the thanks I
get? What a stinkin' rip.

Next time you
lollipops need help,

Don't bother
askin' the main man!

We didn't ask you this time!

Guess you'll want
to get cleaned up

And find a new set of clothes.

Not yet. We've got a job to do.

Come on, I'll
explain on the way.

Thank you, my friend.
