01x21 - Duel of the Double Crossers!

[bunniefuu]

[SCREAMING]

Remember, the safety of the citizens above all else.

Even your own.

We know.

No worries, Batman.

No bystanders will get bashed with the Outsiders on the job.

[GRUNTING]

Metamorpho, you have to keep collateral damage to a minimum.

Sorry.

Contain Despero without destroying the city in the process.

[BASHING]

Katana, what are you doing? You're not listening.

[GRUNTS]

BLACK LIGHTNING: Pretty fast for a big guy but if you wanna b*at the Outsiders, you've gotta be lightning fast.

Katana, Black Lightning, you're making rookie mistakes.

Are you kidding? We've got this purple punk on the ropes.

Hopefully.

Remember, strategy and teamwork.

Now take him down.

Ha! That was almost too easy.


-Are you gonna make us clean it up? BATMAN: No.

You're going to keep doing it until you get it right.

COMPUTER: Initiate training sequence Alpha Bar, take 24.

[SIGHING]

[MUSIC PLAYING & PEOPLE CHATTERING]

Didn't ask you to sit.

That's because you ain't got no manners.

Son, if you had manners you'd have covered up that awful mess of a face you got before strutting in here.

[LAUGHING]

I don't think it's nice, you laughing, Arges.

How do you know my name? Your name's on my list.

And you probably know mine too.

It’s Hex.

Jonah Hex.

Well, I know when I'm outgunned.

But it seems you don't know when you've been outsmarted.

[GRUNTS]

Lowlife bounty hunters ain't welcome in this town.

And I aim to make an example out of you.

[WHISTLES]

Let's see if we can't get you some scars of your own.

Hex to Warworld, ready for transport.

MONGUL: Again, Jonah Hex lives up to his timeless reputation.

The greatest bounty hunter of the millennia.

I don't need flattery from a two
-bit, bushwhacker like you, Mongul.

I'm sick of rounding up roughnecks for your entertainment.

Entertainment? My family created Warworld and here, fights are more than just entertainment.

They are life.

Now, I made good on my word to bring you fighters.

It’s time for you to keep yours and send me back to my time.

You're right.

But first, one more job.

My sister's gladiators have been dominating the games.

And there's a warrior who might shift the odds back in my favor.

Two days ago, Zebra
-Man, you told the parole officer you would never use magnetic powers for evil again.

[GRUNTING]

Looks like you'll never change your stripes.

Desperate times will twist a man in ways he never thought he'd bend.

Hex? What are you doing in the future? Just trying to make it back to the past.

Warworld.

This ain't personal.

Now, I always took you for a civilized fella.

Except for that goofy getup you parade around in.

So I expect you'll come along without stirring up a fuss.

Don't mistake my patience for compliance, Hex.

If you're trying to do this the hard way you'd better have something better on the draw than boomerangs.

What does Mongul have on you, Hex? Saved my hide.

Except, in doing it, he yanked me to the future.

He ain't gonna send me back till I repay my debt.

[GRUNTS]

And I aim to repay my debt.

A Gordanian or space pirate is one thing but capturing the legendary Batman? Outstanding work, Jonah.

I did just like I said I would.

Now make good on your promise.

I'm afraid not.

You are far too valuable an asset.

sh**t me and you'll be trapped here forever.

At least I'll have something to smile about.

MONGAL: Ah
-ah
-ah! I wouldn't.

My brother may be scum but without him, I'd have no one to humiliate in the games.

So I must ask you to stand down or feel the wrath of my Furies.

Come on, cowboy.

I wouldn't mind a cr*ck at you.

Another time, perhaps.

I like big buys like you, Mongul because when you fall, you make a real big racket.

And you will fall.

That's my word.

Ma'am.

MONGAL: His reputation is certainly great but how long will he last against my undefeated champion, Steppenwolf? Let's find out.

[CROWD CHEERING]

From your planet's throne I welcome you to the game with one winner and no rules: Battle Arena Warworld.

Steppenwolf is about to do terrible things to us.

Listen, strength comes in numbers.

We can survive this if we work together.

Yeah? A guy in the last battle said the same thing.


-How'd that work out for him?
-Ask him yourself.

Right.

Ladies and gentlemen, the people's champion: Steppenwolf.

Hundreds before you have fallen by my axe.

Which of you will be next to accept such an honor? [GRUNTS]

Not a fan of Battle Arena Warworld, I take it? Afraid not.

If you watched the battles, you'd know by now cheating is the only way to win.

Since you've been doing such good work for Mongul I'd be happy to send you back to your time simply to put him at a disadvantage.

A map to the time tunnel platform and a transceiver you'll need to activate it.

How do I know you're not just full of cowpies like your swindling brother? Because my motives are entirely selfish.

Ma'am.

[GRUNTING]

If I slow him down long enough, can you get a clear sh*t? If you can slow him down, yes.

Or at least buy myself enough time to escape.

Looks like you're about to lose again.

It’s not over yet.

I was promised a battle with warriors and instead, I find nothing but cowards.

Arrogance will be your undoing.

Now.

I should have seen that one coming.

It’s you who has been undone by your faith in your fellow competitors.

Ha
-ha
-ha
-ha! I don't think it's nice, you laughing.


-What's he doing there?
-What's he doing there? This Hex character's trouble.

So you're the famed bounty hunter who consistently fails to bring me worthy opponents? You will fall as easily as them.

Now that just tears it.

The outcome is always the same for those who take on Steppenwolf.

Defeat.

Then you're about to be humbled by the hammers of justice.

There's no way.

Batman 1, Steppenwolf 0.

Well, I'll be, you done did it.

Now, come on, we got bigger hogs to tie up.

Told you he was tough.

Ahh! Cheater.

[LAUGHS]

You're the cheater for trying to send Hex away behind my back but I assure you, whatever foolish reason kept him here has nothing to do with me.


-Where are we headed?
-To free the prisoners.

Then I'm gonna take that time tunnel back home.

MONGAL: You should have left Warworld when you had the chance, Hex.

Because now I'll make sure you'll never leave at all.

Stompa, Lashina, tear our guests apart.

That one's mine.

Got a thing for guys with scars.

[STOMPA GRUNTING]

[LASHINA GRUNTING]

Ohh.

Now things really get interesting.

You gonna sh**t an unarmed opponent? Fair's fair.

Besides, hand
-to
-hand combat is so much more personal.

You can tell a lot about a fella by the way he fights.

So, what do you know about this fella? Give me a few more swings and maybe I'll tell you.

Hm.

Sorry.

It’s been a while since I've pulped a human in a fight.

[WHISTLES & NEIGHING]

Calling your horse for a getaway? You're not going anywhere.

No, we sure ain't.

But you are.

[MONGAL YELLS]

Now let's round up the posse.

MONGAL: Help! Mongul! Help! What's that? I can't hear you over the galloping.

Ha
-ha
-ha! They're going to the containment center.

What? CREATURE: It’s Batman.

[CHEERING]


-Got yourself quite a reputation.

CREATURE: He's with Hex.

Looks like you do too.

[CHATTERING]

Afraid so.

I know you're all real sore at me for dragging you here.

But I'm busting y'all out.

And as soon as I do, I'm gonna find Mongul and
-
- You have very quickly become far more trouble than you were ever worth, Jonah.

Go ahead.

Face ain't gonna get much worse than it already is.

Ha
-ha
-ha! What a fool I was to think you would be a worthy competitor.

You reckon there's a doodad in your belt that'll bring down a raging bull like him? I reckon there is.

Fry the cell block controls and you'll destroy the time tunnel platform.

Hex will never get home.

Go ahead.

He kidnapped you.

Destroy him.

It’s you we want.

[MONGAL GRUNTS]

Suppose I won't be needing this anymore.

Well, partner, time to get you home.

I've done my share of time travel.

If you come with me, I'm sure I can get you back home.

No.

I figure I'll stick around here for a spell, see what comes of it.

Good luck.

See you when I see you.

Giddyup.
