1. Batman, 0-2.
Copy !req
2. - How are they?
Copy !req
3. - I am still shaken
by what you and I wrought.
Copy !req
4. One can only imagine
how these youths fare.
Copy !req
5. - I know our virtual reality
training simulation went badly,
Copy !req
6. but I'd hoped the team
would have rallied by now.
Copy !req
7. - Trauma tends to linger,
as I know you know, my friend.
Copy !req
8. - Black Canary?
Copy !req
9. - She has her work
cut out for her.
Copy !req
10. - I can only imagine
how devastating it was.
Copy !req
11. Losing your friends,
in essence your family,
Copy !req
12. Convinced all the time
it was completely real.
Copy !req
13. I'm sure it must have been
horrible for you.
Copy !req
14. I understand.
You're Superboy.
Copy !req
15. You're not supposed to have
feelings of sadness or vulnerability.
Copy !req
16. - You don't know
what I feel!
Copy !req
17. - Conner!
Copy !req
18. - Just leave me alone!
Copy !req
19. When can we see some cowboys?
Copy !req
20. - Your obsession with the barbarians
must wait, Serifan.
Copy !req
21. Mother box, please camouflage
all extraterrestrial energy signatures
Copy !req
22. and scan the planet
and advise.
Copy !req
23. What we seek is on world.
Let us—
Copy !req
24. - The new genisphere
is on earth.
Copy !req
25. - Then we shall
take her back!
Copy !req
26. The forever people
will not be denied!
Copy !req
27. And woe to any
who stand in our way.
Copy !req
28. - Red Tornado, hangar door.
Copy !req
29. Sphere, out of the way!
Copy !req
30. Whoa!
Copy !req
31. - Superboy, return to cave.
Copy !req
32. - Return to cave.
Copy !req
33. - Look, me dying during the exercise
might have started things going south,
Copy !req
34. but I was coma girl.
Missed out on all the fun.
Copy !req
35. Forgetting it wasn't real,
so, no trauma.
Copy !req
36. No need for the shrink rap.
Copy !req
37. - You're too tough
to need help.
Copy !req
38. - Whatever.
Copy !req
39. Maybe.
Copy !req
40. - Or maybe too tough
to admit you need help.
Copy !req
41. - But you still
keep secrets from them.
Copy !req
42. - And you won't tell them!
You can't!
Copy !req
43. - I won't.
But you should.
Copy !req
44. You could start by admitting
you're not really Green Arrow's niece.
Copy !req
45. - Great. Can you imagine
what Wally would do with that?
Copy !req
46. - Interesting.
Copy !req
47. So, the person
you're most worried about
Copy !req
48. is Wally.
Copy !req
49. - Let's see what our boy can do.
Copy !req
50. - Oh, yeah!
Copy !req
51. - Whoa!
Copy !req
52. - Return the new genisphere
and the rest of the technology
Copy !req
53. you have stolen from
new genesis, human.
Copy !req
54. - Who are you?
What do you—
Copy !req
55. - Let's keep this simple.
Copy !req
56. That belongs to us.
Copy !req
57. Give it back.
Copy !req
58. - Forever people, stand down.
Copy !req
59. This one did not steal
the new genisphere.
Copy !req
60. He saved it
from the real thieves.
Copy !req
61. - Apologies.
Copy !req
62. The forever people embrace you as a friend,
ally, and worthy warrior.
Copy !req
63. - You're kidding, right?
Copy !req
64. - I was the general
Copy !req
65. but behaved like a soldier
and sacrificed myself.
Copy !req
66. I am not fit for command
and must resign as team leader.
Copy !req
67. - Who do you recommend
to take your place?
Copy !req
68. - Artemis is too raw
and untrusting.
Copy !req
69. Kid Flash too rash
and impulsive.
Copy !req
70. Miss Martian remains
too eager to please.
Copy !req
71. Superboy carries too much anger.
Copy !req
72. - Making Robin
the logical choice.
Copy !req
73. - But he is so young.
Copy !req
74. - Kaldur, you're all young.
Copy !req
75. - I cannot shift
this burden to him.
Copy !req
76. Not yet.
Copy !req
77. Heh. It appears I must
withdraw my resignation.
Copy !req
78. - Forever people?
Copy !req
79. - We're young gods.
Copy !req
80. New gods.
Copy !req
81. - Right.
Copy !req
82. - They call me Serifan.
Copy !req
83. - I'm Dreamer.
This is Moonrider.
Copy !req
84. And our leader Vykin.
Copy !req
85. - Hmm. And I am named
for an animal
Copy !req
86. that does not exist
on this world.
Copy !req
87. But you may call me Wolf.
Copy !req
88. - This is Wolf.
Copy !req
89. - Ah. Bear, then.
Copy !req
90. Bear is even better.
Copy !req
91. I'm called—Superboy.
Copy !req
92. - This is mother box,
the living computer.
Copy !req
93. New Genesis,
Copy !req
94. and she has found
our rescue drill here.
Copy !req
95. It is beneath us...
Copy !req
96. 18 meters underground.
Copy !req
97. - That's a construction site.
Perfect cover for drilling.
Copy !req
98. Especially with the federal reserve
conveniently located across the street.
Copy !req
99. - The government
keeps money there?
Copy !req
100. - It's a heist.
Copy !req
101. Come on, partners,
let's ride in there
Copy !req
102. guns a-blazin' and round up
them outlaws.
Copy !req
103. - He's watched a lot
of earth westerns.
Copy !req
104. - Yeah, well, there's
a time to go in strong
Copy !req
105. and a time to go in smart.
Copy !req
106. - It is your world, Superboy.
Copy !req
107. We shall follow your lead.
Copy !req
108. - Norman!
Copy !req
109. I brought you a jacket.
Copy !req
110. - Mom!
Copy !req
111. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
112. - Uhh!
- Uhh!
Copy !req
113. - Mom, get down!
It's not—safe.
Copy !req
114. uhh! Uhh!
Copy !req
115. - A billion in bullion, ugly.
Copy !req
116. The old creep's gear
performed as advertised.
Copy !req
117. - Yeah, whisper,
gave me a score
Copy !req
118. tops any my old man
ever delivered.
Copy !req
119. - Wait!
Copy !req
120. Guess we decided on
the direct approach after all.
Copy !req
121. - That drill and these carts
are the property of New Genesis.
Copy !req
122. You will return them now.
Copy !req
123. - The gold goes back, too.
Copy !req
124. - Interfere,
and things get ugly.
Copy !req
125. - I'm ugly.
Copy !req
126. - Uhh!
Copy !req
127. - Aah!
Copy !req
128. - Uhh!
Copy !req
129. - Aah!
Copy !req
130. - Uhh!
Copy !req
131. - These weapons aren't
from New Genesis.
Copy !req
132. They are of the enemy.
Copy !req
133. - What enemy?
Copy !req
134. - The enemy.
Copy !req
135. The gods of anti-life.
Copy !req
136. These weapons
are of Apocalypse.
Copy !req
137. - Aaahhh!
Copy !req
138. - Aaahhh!
Copy !req
139. Uhh! Uhh!
Copy !req
140. - Aah!
Copy !req
141. - So, you want me to believe that
after everything you went through,
Copy !req
142. including your own death
from fiery explosion,
Copy !req
143. you're peachy?
Copy !req
144. - I'm, uh, fairly certain
I never used the word peachy.
Copy !req
145. But I think you got the gist.
Copy !req
146. - So you really have no interest
Copy !req
147. in confronting your extreme
reaction to Artemis' death?
Copy !req
148. I'd rather talk
about you, babe.
Copy !req
149. - Wally, you're in denial.
Copy !req
150. - I'm comfortable with that.
Copy !req
151. - The confines of this tunnel
favor their weapons.
Copy !req
152. Let's bring this battle
into the open and—
Copy !req
153. - Uhh!
Copy !req
154. More room at the top!
Copy !req
155. - They're getting away!
Copy !req
156. - Uhh!
Copy !req
157. - Move!
Copy !req
158. - I have no wish
to prolong this battle.
Copy !req
159. - Finish him.
Copy !req
160. - Fear not. She will protect us.
Copy !req
161. - Who, Dreamer?
Copy !req
162. - The new genisphere.
Copy !req
163. - Cool.
Copy !req
164. Wait. Sphere's a she?
Copy !req
165. - It is time.
Copy !req
166. - Time for what?
Copy !req
167. - Taru!
Copy !req
168. - Ok. That's... New.
Copy !req
169. - Ohh!
Copy !req
170. Ohh! Uhh!
Copy !req
171. Ugly, wait!
Copy !req
172. Wait!
Copy !req
173. - What was that?
Copy !req
174. - Infinity-man.
Copy !req
175. We merged to become
part of the source
Copy !req
176. and greater than
the sum of our parts.
Copy !req
177. - Glad my team's
not that close.
Copy !req
178. - Lower beings
tend to fear intimacy.
Copy !req
179. - None of this
makes any sense.
Copy !req
180. How are these humans
acquiring technology
Copy !req
181. from both New Genesis
and Apocalypse?
Copy !req
182. - I'm not talking.
Copy !req
183. - You were not asked.
Copy !req
184. - Ha ha ha ha ha!
Copy !req
185. - Desaad.
Copy !req
186. - Look, I've been remarkably
patient, you know, for me.
Copy !req
187. What is going on?
Copy !req
188. - The new gods come from
two worlds at war.
Copy !req
189. Those of us from New Genesis
are gods of life, freedom, and the source.
Copy !req
190. Our enemies from Apocalypse
Copy !req
191. are gods of anti-life,
slavery, and degradation.
Copy !req
192. This is Desaad,
Copy !req
193. god scientist and chief
torturer of Apocalypse.
Copy !req
194. His experiments are pure evil,
his works, abominations.
Copy !req
195. His master...
Copy !req
196. - Unspeakable.
Copy !req
197. Ha ha ha ha ha!
Copy !req
198. - He is seriously creepy.
Copy !req
199. - Hurting? Try traumatized.
Copy !req
200. I finally become leader and wind up
sending all of my friends to their deaths.
Copy !req
201. And I know I did
what I had to.
Copy !req
202. But I hated it.
Copy !req
203. When we started this team,
I was desperate to be in charge.
Copy !req
204. Not anymore.
Copy !req
205. And that's not even
the worst of it.
Copy !req
206. You can't tell Batman.
Copy !req
207. - Nothing leaves this room.
Copy !req
208. - I always wanted, expected...
Copy !req
209. to grow up and become him.
Copy !req
210. And the hero bit—
I'm still all in.
Copy !req
211. But that thing
inside of him,
Copy !req
212. the thing that drives him
to sacrifice everything
Copy !req
213. for the sake of his mission,
Copy !req
214. that's not me.
Copy !req
215. I—I don't want to be
"the" batman anymore.
Copy !req
216. Mother box says there's a large cache
of apocalyptan technology inside.
Copy !req
217. - Infrared vision shows
no heat signatures.
Copy !req
218. Even so...
Copy !req
219. Still no heat signatures.
Copy !req
220. The place is
definitely deserted.
Copy !req
221. Though I could be wrong.
Copy !req
222. - This tech masks
heat signatures.
Copy !req
223. Visor filters out illusions.
Copy !req
224. We got ya.
Copy !req
225. uhh!
Copy !req
226. - These weapons resist my magnetic
power. We'll soon be overrun.
Copy !req
227. It is time.
Copy !req
228. - Hunh!
Copy !req
229. Huh! This won't take long!
Copy !req
230. - Go!
Copy !req
231. - Taru!
Copy !req
232. - Now, Rohtak,
deliver the father box.
Copy !req
233. That can't be good.
Copy !req
234. - Kill the boy
Copy !req
235. and his little dog, too.
Copy !req
236. - Aah! Uhh! Uhh! Uhh...
Copy !req
237. Wait!
Copy !req
238. Good—uh, girl,
Copy !req
239. We'll take him down together.
Copy !req
240. - Yeah, can't really blame you.
Copy !req
241. - It was all my fault.
Copy !req
242. Hello, Megan.
Copy !req
243. Who else could take
a simple exercise
Copy !req
244. and turn it into a nightmare
that terrorizes everyone she cares about?
Copy !req
245. - You've turned white.
Copy !req
246. No!
Copy !req
247. Oh.
Copy !req
248. You meant caucasian.
Copy !req
249. Yeah, I'm fine being Megan.
Copy !req
250. But I can't be trusted
to use my other powers.
Copy !req
251. - M'gann, you're a martian.
Copy !req
252. Not using your natural abilities
is like me refusing to speak.
Copy !req
253. Which, by the way,
I tried for a while,
Copy !req
254. After my very first canary cry nearly
deafened my entire first-grade class.
Copy !req
255. So I get how you feel.
Copy !req
256. But not being yourself
is never the answer
Copy !req
257. and won't make your feelings
of guilt go away.
Copy !req
258. Learn from what happened.
Copy !req
259. Your uncle would be happy
to train you.
Copy !req
260. Practice until you gain control
and regain your confidence.
Copy !req
261. - Aah!
Copy !req
262. Uhh!
Copy !req
263. - Uhh! Uhhh!
Copy !req
264. Uhh! Uhh... Uhh...
Copy !req
265. - Infinity-man is now my—
Copy !req
266. my master's weapon.
Copy !req
267. - Why doesn't he
get it over with?
Copy !req
268. - Heh heh heh. I am not one
for getting it over with.
Copy !req
269. Father box knows my...
proclivities,
Copy !req
270. and programmed Infinity-man
accordingly.
Copy !req
271. - Attack!
Copy !req
272. Attack while you still can!
Copy !req
273. - Sphere, you're beautiful!
Copy !req
274. - Open fire!
All weapons!
Copy !req
275. - Our turn.
Copy !req
276. - Aah! Uhh!
Copy !req
277. Uhh!
Copy !req
278. - Think I'm getting
the hang of this.
Copy !req
279. Pull!
Copy !req
280. - Aah! Uhh!
Copy !req
281. - Now, that's ugly.
Copy !req
282. - Uhh!
Copy !req
283. - Desaad.
Copy !req
284. - All will suffer.
Copy !req
285. All will suffer!
Copy !req
286. - Aah!
Copy !req
287. She's hurt.
Copy !req
288. - The damage may be
beyond repair,
Copy !req
289. but mother box will try.
Copy !req
290. The healing process
has begun
Copy !req
291. and will be completed
on New Genesis.
Copy !req
292. - Sorry, what?
Copy !req
293. - We thank you for your help, Superboy,
but we must take the new genisphere home now.
Copy !req
294. - No. No way!
Copy !req
295. - Why should we
leave her with you?
Copy !req
296. To us, she lives.
Copy !req
297. To you, she's merely
technology.
Copy !req
298. - No, it's not like that.
Copy !req
299. - Then what is it like?
Copy !req
300. - We bonded, ok?
Copy !req
301. - In fact, it is.
Copy !req
302. You may keep her.
Copy !req
303. - What exactly do you
expect to find, Batman?
Copy !req
304. According to Conner,
Sphere has proven quite useful.
Copy !req
305. Wally has already
rechristened her
Copy !req
306. "the super-cycle."
Copy !req
307. - By any name, the Sphere
merits further investigation.
Copy !req
308. As does everything
in Superboy's report.
Copy !req
309. Speaking of, where is he now?
Copy !req
310. - Here's the ugly truth.
Copy !req
311. I wasn't devastated.
Copy !req
312. Even with Superman, Tornado, you,
the whole League dead,
Copy !req
313. even though
I didn't save Wolf,
Copy !req
314. watched Artemis and Kaldur die,
and abandoned M'gann,
Copy !req
315. I felt... at peace.
Copy !req
316. See, from the moment
I first opened my eyes
Copy !req
317. in that Cadmus pod, there's
been one thing I've wanted and feared.
Copy !req
318. To know what it is
to be Superman.
Copy !req
319. And I know.
Copy !req
320. So I was... I was happy.
Copy !req
321. Everyone I care about
dead or traumatized,
Copy !req
322. and I'm happy.
Copy !req
323. How do I get past
the guilt of that?
Copy !req
324. How do I live with myself?
Copy !req
325. - I don't have any easy
answers, Conner.
Copy !req
326. But one thing's clear.
Copy !req
327. Admitting it
is the first step.
Copy !req
