1. My algorithm estimated you'd
be here two minutes earlier.
Copy !req
2. How long were you waiting outside?
Copy !req
3. About two minutes.
Copy !req
4. Look, I know DeLamb,
Baron Bedlam, staged a coup.
Copy !req
5. I assume Brion and Tara
are already on route,
Copy !req
6. and I still care about both those kids.
Copy !req
7. I need to know what's going on.
Please, Barbara.
Copy !req
8. Like I said, expected you
two minutes ago.
Copy !req
9. Look, as you've probably guessed,
Copy !req
10. the League's been sidelined by U.N.
Secretary-General, Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
11. And, frankly, by public opinion,
Copy !req
12. which Luthor's manipulated.
Copy !req
13. Both sides know a win
for Brion and the Outsiders
Copy !req
14. will also help the League's cause.
Copy !req
15. A loss, on the other hand...
Copy !req
16. That's why the Bio-Ship's
crossing the Vlatavan border
Copy !req
17. into Markovian airspace
at this very moment.
Copy !req
18. M'gann's leading Gamma Squad,
Copy !req
19. combing members of the Team
and the Outsiders,
Copy !req
20. to prevent Doctor X from executing
Copy !req
21. those loyal to King Gregor Markov.
Copy !req
22. Meanwhile, Beta Squad is preparing
Copy !req
23. to boomtube straight to Markovburg,
Copy !req
24. to back-up Alpha Squad, who are
taking the battle right to Bedlam.
Copy !req
25. And you coordinate
all three squads from here,
Copy !req
26. while keeping the League
and Batman, Inc. informed?
Copy !req
27. You're the only person
who calls it "Batman, Inc."
Copy !req
28. But, yes.
Copy !req
29. - What else?
- What else?
Copy !req
30. What aren't you telling me?
Copy !req
31. Well...
Copy !req
32. The board is set.
Copy !req
33. The players in position.
Copy !req
34. And we have the inside track
on their every move.
Copy !req
35. Then all goes as planned?
Copy !req
36. Of course.
Copy !req
37. This will be a complete
debacle for the Outsiders,
Copy !req
38. proving what I've been saying
in the media for months.
Copy !req
39. "All heroes and meta-humans
Copy !req
40. must be registered
and regulated, worldwide."
Copy !req
41. My own team of young champions
Copy !req
42. will quickly volunteer to register.
Copy !req
43. And Infinity Incorporated
Copy !req
44. will supplant the Justice League.
Copy !req
45. While the Light fills its ranks
Copy !req
46. with meta-humans under our control.
Copy !req
47. The current heroes
will be rendered outlaws,
Copy !req
48. subject to arrest, imprisonment,
Copy !req
49. even Inhibitor Collars.
Copy !req
50. I bet Waller would love
Copy !req
51. to get a brain implant
in the Dark Knight.
Copy !req
52. Indeed.
Copy !req
53. But how to guarantee today's "debacle?"
Copy !req
54. If we use our mole...
Copy !req
55. Her cover will be blown. No doubt.
Copy !req
56. We believe the outcome
worth the sacrifice.
Copy !req
57. Any objections?
Copy !req
58. Channel is secure. Proceed.
Copy !req
59. Deathstroke to Tara...
Copy !req
60. the moment you've been
waiting for is here.
Copy !req
61. On our signal,
Copy !req
62. you are to publicly kill Garfield Logan.
Copy !req
63. You!
Copy !req
64. Yeah. Me.
Copy !req
65. You were right, G-F.
Beta flushed the Baron right out.
Copy !req
66. Hello, Uncle.
Copy !req
67. So, a meta-invasion of my native land.
Copy !req
68. An opportunity to defend the Realm
Copy !req
69. and cleanse the bloodline
of these weak Orphans.
Copy !req
70. We're orphans because of you!
Copy !req
71. I feel the tug of your power, child.
Copy !req
72. A feeble thing.
Copy !req
73. Monster!
Copy !req
74. Cyborg, do you read?
Copy !req
75. I know you're in the thick of it,
Copy !req
76. but you and I have a new mission.
Copy !req
77. Little Prince.
Copy !req
78. There's no Superboy here
to save you now.
Copy !req
79. Stop, children!
Copy !req
80. You're an embarrassment to the family.
Copy !req
81. They've got a new family now.
Copy !req
82. All equally pathetic.
Copy !req
83. Cyborg, help Beast Boy!
Copy !req
84. Ah, man, that hurts!
Copy !req
85. Yeah!
Copy !req
86. Gamma to Beta.
We've rescued the hostages
Copy !req
87. and taken down Doctor X.
How's it going at the Palace?
Copy !req
88. Just a...
Copy !req
89. second.
Copy !req
90. Jected! Beta to Gamma.
Copy !req
91. Vertigo's down. Sending
Tigress and Halo to Alpha.
Copy !req
92. On our way.
Copy !req
93. You kidnapped my sister!
Copy !req
94. Murdered my parents!
Copy !req
95. Betrayed crown and country!
Copy !req
96. Stop.
Copy !req
97. Stop! I...
Copy !req
98. I surrender.
Copy !req
99. Surrender is too easy!
Copy !req
100. Geo-Force.
Copy !req
101. No!
Copy !req
102. The Outsiders are beacons of hope.
Copy !req
103. We don't deal out punishment.
Copy !req
104. Brion is right.
Copy !req
105. Bedlam caused all your misery.
Copy !req
106. Do your job,
Copy !req
107. then nothing can stop you and
Brion from executing DeLamb.
Copy !req
108. Kill Beast Boy.
Copy !req
109. Now.
Copy !req
110. - Uh... Terra?
- Terra, what are you doing?
Copy !req
111. Do it.
Copy !req
112. Kill him.
Copy !req
113. Tara, listen.
Copy !req
114. You don't have to do
what Deathstroke says.
Copy !req
115. - Deathstroke?
- How does she...
Copy !req
116. I thought this channel was secure!
Copy !req
117. How long have you known?
Copy !req
118. Known? Known what?
Copy !req
119. Since before we found you.
Copy !req
120. Batman had surveillance on Slade,
Copy !req
121. and could tell
from his micro-expressions
Copy !req
122. that he was lying
when he said you'd washed out
Copy !req
123. of the League of Shadows.
Copy !req
124. You knew I was still
a Shadow? Why didn't you...
Copy !req
125. Busting you upfront would've taken
the decision out of your hands,
Copy !req
126. which is exactly what
the bad guys have done to you
Copy !req
127. from the moment you were abducted.
Copy !req
128. Don't go soft on me now, Princess.
Copy !req
129. They'll betray you. Like your uncle.
Copy !req
130. Like Jace.
Copy !req
131. I have been betrayed so many times.
Copy !req
132. But these people risked
their lives to save me.
Copy !req
133. Treated me with kindness and respect.
Copy !req
134. Made me a part of their family.
Copy !req
135. Those are the tools
they use to make you weak.
Copy !req
136. I taught you to be strong.
Copy !req
137. We wanted to show you
there is a better way.
Copy !req
138. You can be forgiven, Tara.
The choice is yours.
Copy !req
139. Damn it, Terra, listen...
Copy !req
140. Batman read your micro-expressions?
Copy !req
141. Didn't know he saw me unmasked.
Copy !req
142. While I nodded, nearly napping,
Copy !req
143. suddenly there came a tapping.
Copy !req
144. Well, we wondered who else would be
Copy !req
145. on the other end of this line.
Now, we know,
Copy !req
146. Mr. Secretary.
Copy !req
147. Tara...
Copy !req
148. how could you?
Copy !req
149. Why didn't anyone tell me this?
Copy !req
150. Here he is!
Copy !req
151. Here's our Prince!
Copy !req
152. Ambassador Baazovi?
Copy !req
153. Prince Brion! Is that...
Copy !req
154. the Princess?
Copy !req
155. And who are these others?
Copy !req
156. My Prince,
Copy !req
157. you cannot let that war criminal escape!
Copy !req
158. It is over, Baron.
Copy !req
159. It will never be over, Princeling!
Copy !req
160. Not as long as I draw breath.
Copy !req
161. Uncle, I believe you.
Copy !req
162. Is he... Is he dead?
Copy !req
163. Yes.
Copy !req
164. Brion is a hero!
Copy !req
165. Brion sir varonis!
Copy !req
166. Brion! Brion! Brion!
Copy !req
167. Brion! Brion! Brion! Brion...
Copy !req
168. What happened?
Copy !req
169. Oh, Brion.
Copy !req
170. Brion! Brion! Brion! Brion...
Copy !req
171. Brion! Brion! Brion! Brion!
Copy !req
172. Brion! Brion!
Copy !req
173. Brion! Brion! Brion!
Copy !req
174. I had to do it. Don't you see?
Copy !req
175. You crossed a line we don't cross.
Copy !req
176. You murdered that man.
Copy !req
177. I executed a criminal,
Copy !req
178. while you hypocrites
Copy !req
179. allowed a murderer
to walk free among us!
Copy !req
180. She was a vulnerable child,
Copy !req
181. brainwashed, Stockholm-Syndromed.
Copy !req
182. No. There was no Control Chip
Copy !req
183. on my neck when I killed Marlo.
Copy !req
184. I had a choice.
Copy !req
185. I made the wrong one.
Copy !req
186. Sveiks, Princis Briones!
Copy !req
187. Sveiks! Sveiks! Sveiks! Sveiks!
Copy !req
188. We both must turn ourselves in.
Copy !req
189. To whom?
Copy !req
190. Do you not hear the crowd?
Copy !req
191. They know what I did was just.
Copy !req
192. And so should you!
Copy !req
193. Tara, I dedicated my life
to rescuing you,
Copy !req
194. but you lied to me
Copy !req
195. and nearly betrayed us all.
Copy !req
196. You are an assassin!
Copy !req
197. I am a hero!
Copy !req
198. Heroes don't do what you did.
Copy !req
199. The people would disagree.
Copy !req
200. Would you condemn a soldier in war?
Copy !req
201. No, you'd call him Varonis, a hero.
Copy !req
202. And I'd call this hero
Copy !req
203. Karalis.
Copy !req
204. - A King.
- King? But Gregor...
Copy !req
205. Kings make hard decisions
for the sake of their people.
Copy !req
206. You know I supported Gregor,
Copy !req
207. but Gregor isn't strong
enough for these times.
Copy !req
208. Only you have the strength
to rule Markovia.
Copy !req
209. With the full support of the Military.
Copy !req
210. Prince Brion brought down
the tyrant, DeLamb,
Copy !req
211. who staged a coup after escaping prison,
Copy !req
212. after murdering our King and Queen!
Copy !req
213. Sveiks, Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
214. Sveiks, Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
215. You are only 16 minutes
younger than your brother.
Copy !req
216. Admit the truth to yourself.
Copy !req
217. Sveiks, Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
218. Sveiks, Briones Karalis...
Copy !req
219. My brother is a man of great patience.
Copy !req
220. But that is not what our country needs.
Copy !req
221. Brion, you cannot betray Gregor.
Copy !req
222. Unlike you, I betray no one.
Copy !req
223. Gregor's 16 minutes is
no justification for his Rule.
Copy !req
224. I've always known
the Crown should be mine.
Copy !req
225. Markovia needs a King who is a Hero.
Copy !req
226. Sister...
Copy !req
227. I will forgive your crimes,
Copy !req
228. if you support my Rule.
Copy !req
229. No, brother. That I cannot do.
Copy !req
230. Fine. Halo, join me.
Copy !req
231. Rule beside me
Copy !req
232. as my Queen.
Copy !req
233. Violet, please.
Copy !req
234. I need you now.
Copy !req
235. So be it.
Copy !req
236. Nightwing,
Copy !req
237. take all your heroes out of my country.
Copy !req
238. At once!
Copy !req
239. Briones Karalis! Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
240. Briones Karalis! Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
241. Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
242. Briones Karalis! Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
243. Briones Karalis!
Copy !req
244. Despite Terra's
disappointing performance
Copy !req
245. and Lightning's
pointless little incursion,
Copy !req
246. things could have gone worse.
Copy !req
247. Oh, please.
Copy !req
248. Things could hardly have gone better.
Copy !req
249. Grayson's people in their masks?
Copy !req
250. A coup on live television?
Copy !req
251. An Outsider executing an enemy
and declaring himself King?
Copy !req
252. I can easily frame the argument now
Copy !req
253. for heroes to be
registered and regulated.
Copy !req
254. As far as I'm concerned,
Copy !req
255. Infinity Inc. has already ascended.
Copy !req
256. As you can see
from the documents before you,
Copy !req
257. these confidential files prove
Copy !req
258. that Secretary-General Lex Luthor
Copy !req
259. has defied U.N. regulations
Copy !req
260. by continuing to secretly run LexCorp.
Copy !req
261. Worse, he's exploited its resources
Copy !req
262. to operate his own
meta-human trafficking chain.
Copy !req
263. One that utilizes the same Control Chip
Copy !req
264. favored by the infamous
Bedlam syndicate.
Copy !req
265. Furthermore, Luthor has
used his illegal organization
Copy !req
266. to create and control Infinity, Inc.
Copy !req
267. One day after Lightning's
stunning revelations,
Copy !req
268. we are live at the United Nations,
Copy !req
269. where a crowd has gathered,
calling for Luthor's resignation.
Copy !req
270. Uh, wait, I'm being told Secretary
Luthor is making a statement.
Copy !req
271. This is fake news, fake news,
Copy !req
272. and I resent even addressing allegations
Copy !req
273. from unregulated meta-vigilantes
Copy !req
274. like the disgraced Black Lightning.
Copy !req
275. We will soon change
the international libel laws,
Copy !req
276. which allow these so-called "heroes"
Copy !req
277. to smear my good name
with spurious charges.
Copy !req
278. Every charge Lightning
and Cyborg laid at your feet
Copy !req
279. is true, Luthor! And more!
Copy !req
280. Think about what you're doing, son.
Copy !req
281. I'm not your son.
Copy !req
282. At Project Cadmus, Luthor bred
and enslaved living weapons.
Copy !req
283. Including me.
Copy !req
284. I am the Superboy. A genomorph.
Copy !req
285. A clone made from the combined
DNA of Superman and Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
286. I was created to replace
Superman should he perish.
Copy !req
287. To destroy him should he
turn from the Light.
Copy !req
288. Lex Luthor's Light.
Copy !req
289. I'm more than that now.
Copy !req
290. More than the weapon
I was created to be.
Copy !req
291. I've come to think
of Superboy as my brother.
Copy !req
292. You can trust him.
Copy !req
293. You don't have to trust me. Test my DNA.
Copy !req
294. It's all the proof you'll need.
Copy !req
295. I call for an immediate
vote of no confidence
Copy !req
296. in Secretary-General Lex Luthor.
Copy !req
297. An embattled Lex Luthor,
Copy !req
298. now facing multiple indictments,
Copy !req
299. has been forced to resign
Copy !req
300. as Secretary-General
of the United Nations.
Copy !req
301. I hear rumors Ambassador Troia is
the leading candidate to replace Lex.
Copy !req
302. - Love that.
- And there's more good news.
Copy !req
303. Fans worldwide have kept the Outsiders
Copy !req
304. and the League trending highly
positive across social media.
Copy !req
305. I guess Justice is back in fashion.
Copy !req
306. My dad reactivated the Bat-Signal
Copy !req
307. to actual cheers from the crowd below.
Copy !req
308. Wait, turn the sound back on.
Copy !req
309. In other news, the trial of Tara Markov
Copy !req
310. has ended at The Hague.
The judges of the World Court
Copy !req
311. have taken the many mitigating factors
Copy !req
312. of the Princess' abduction into account
Copy !req
313. and released her into
the custody of her brother,
Copy !req
314. Markovia's King-In-Exile, Gregor Markov.
Copy !req
315. As part of her probation,
she will attempt to redeem herself
Copy !req
316. by doing good works with the Outsiders.
Copy !req
317. No, I... I don't want to see her.
Copy !req
318. She's made some mistakes,
Copy !req
319. but she wants to make up
for them by helping you.
Copy !req
320. Please, Your Highness.
Copy !req
321. We all deserve a second chance.
Copy !req
322. Let her approach.
Copy !req
323. The Light is satisfied.
Copy !req
324. Though Lex has some
legal issues to resolve,
Copy !req
325. the rest of the news is good.
Copy !req
326. Agreed. King Brion now
leads a puppet kingdom,
Copy !req
327. thanks in no small part to
our newest member's influence.
Copy !req
328. Yes, well, I'm no Martian,
Copy !req
329. but my limited meta-psychic ability
Copy !req
330. does come in handy to...
Copy !req
331. nudge people toward
their own worst impulses.
Copy !req
332. No need to be modest, Zviad.
Copy !req
333. Your services are much appreciated.
Copy !req
334. Now, I'm sure you're all wondering
Copy !req
335. about my recent trip to Apokolips.
Copy !req
336. Darkseid and I rattled
sabres at each other
Copy !req
337. over our mutual sense of betrayal.
Copy !req
338. We aired our differences but
managed to find common ground.
Copy !req
339. And reconfirm our partnership.
Copy !req
340. Of course, his search for the
Anti-Life Equation continues.
Copy !req
341. So we must prepare.
Copy !req
342. For keeping eyes on this, Halo,
Copy !req
343. she could be the key
to our final victory.
Copy !req
344. Can you hear us on the Javelin?
Copy !req
345. Roger that. You got three Lanterns,
Copy !req
346. two Hawks, a Martian,
a Captain, a Doctor,
Copy !req
347. a Devil, Magog, Steel, Icon,
Fire, Ice and Flongated Man.
Copy !req
348. That's Elongated Man!
Copy !req
349. Hope you poozers
make it worth our while.
Copy !req
350. How about at the Batcave?
Copy !req
351. Metamorpho here with Batwoman, Katana,
Copy !req
352. Hardware, Plaz, Spoiler,
Arrowette and Orphan.
Copy !req
353. That's just about everyone.
Wasn't sure they'd all respond.
Copy !req
354. You command more respect
than you realize.
Copy !req
355. Ah, starting to get that.
Copy !req
356. Still, everyone's here except
the one guy I really need.
Copy !req
357. Recognized,
Copy !req
358. Pierce-Comma-Jefferson. G-Zero-One.
Copy !req
359. Glad you could make it.
Copy !req
360. Gladder still
you're staying in the game.
Copy !req
361. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
362. it's the right thing.
Copy !req
363. You sure about this?
Copy !req
364. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
365. Thanks for coming, everyone.
Copy !req
366. Word's spreading fast, so we might
as well get it out in the open.
Copy !req
367. Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman,
Copy !req
368. Miss Martian, Oracle, Robin, and I
Copy !req
369. have been running a secret task force,
Copy !req
370. coordinating all our Teams and squads
Copy !req
371. in an attempt to beat
the Light at their own game.
Copy !req
372. We kept it a secret in a
misguided attempt to protect you.
Copy !req
373. We've had successes,
failures, compromises,
Copy !req
374. deceptions and betrayals.
Copy !req
375. It is now clear, that
despite our best intentions,
Copy !req
376. we made a mistake.
Copy !req
377. So I hereby resign as Co-Chair of
the League, effective immediately.
Copy !req
378. As do I.
Copy !req
379. I'm stepping down as Leader
of the Team, as well.
Copy !req
380. Which means we need a new leader,
Copy !req
381. one who has consistently acted
as the conscience of the League.
Copy !req
382. And although I'm not a member,
I'd like to take the liberty
Copy !req
383. of nominating Black Lightning.
Copy !req
384. Seconded.
Copy !req
385. All current Leaguers
present and in favor?
Copy !req
386. - Aye!
- And aboard the Javelin?
Copy !req
387. Aye!
Copy !req
388. Whoa, whoa, whoa! I don't want this.
Copy !req
389. Maybe not. But we kinda
need you to take it.
Copy !req
390. What say you?
Copy !req
391. I don't have a vote. Currently.
Copy !req
392. If I take this,
you're either in or you're out.
Copy !req
393. There's no half-way.
No behind-the-scenes crap.
Copy !req
394. If you take this,
we'll fold Batman, Inc.
Copy !req
395. back into the League and the Team,
Copy !req
396. on your terms. It's for the best.
Copy !req
397. For the mission.
Copy !req
398. I rejoin the Team.
Team works for the League.
Copy !req
399. I work for you, boss.
Copy !req
400. We all believe the League
needs course correction,
Copy !req
401. because we're all afraid
of the same tired old story.

402. "The hero gets lost
fighting the good fight
Copy !req
403. "and becomes the very thing
he or she is fighting against."
Copy !req
404. And, sure, it happens.
Copy !req
405. Vandal Savage, Teth Adam,
Copy !req
406. Ra's Al Ghul. And now, sadly, Geo-Force.
Copy !req
407. But it will not happen again.
Copy !req
408. Not to any of us.
Copy !req
409. Because from here on out, we will
not keep secrets from each other.
Copy !req
410. We need each other
to know each others' secrets
Copy !req
411. to keep each other
on the straight and narrow.
Copy !req
412. No more making decisions
to protect each other
Copy !req
413. from the choices
we might be forced to make.
Copy !req
414. In this League, the ends
will not justify the means!
Copy !req
415. We will not sink to using
the methods of our enemies.
Copy !req
416. We will keep our covert Team,
Copy !req
417. not for the sake of it being covert,
Copy !req
418. but because it affords our young heroes
Copy !req
419. a place to learn out of the spotlight.
Copy !req
420. But, otherwise, like the Outsiders,
Copy !req
421. we must live in each others' spotlights.
Copy !req
422. If we fail while doing right,
Copy !req
423. then at least we went down
swinging on our own terms.
Copy !req
424. But in the long term, we will not fail.
Copy !req
425. Holding firm to our principles
Copy !req
426. will guide us to an honorable victory!
Copy !req
427. Now, let's get down to business.
Copy !req
428. The Outsiders have posted that
they're welcoming new members,
Copy !req
429. Terra, Forager and Superboy to the...
Copy !req
430. So, you're a public hero now?
Copy !req
431. It's time.
Copy !req
432. I guess it's time I give this back.
Copy !req
433. I hope not.
Copy !req
434. If you don't trust me,
Copy !req
435. If you can't truly forgive me...
Copy !req
436. I was hoping you'd trust and forgive me.
Copy !req
437. You made hard choices,
and I dredged up old wounds.
Copy !req
438. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
439. M'gann, I can't imagine
my life without you.
Copy !req
440. So if you'll still have me...
Copy !req
441. Mmm.
Copy !req
442. Keep watching!
