My turn.
Bruce Wayne
There is a stranger who comes to this village from the sea. He comes in the winter when people are hungry, he brings fish, comes on the king tide. That was last night.
Talk.
Bruce
I believe that an enemy is coming from far away. I’m looking for warriors. This stranger, others like him. I’m building an alliance to defend us. It’s very important that I see this man.
People said the Age of Heroes would never come again.
Bruce
It has to.
Strong men are strongest alone, have you ever heard that?
Bruce
That’s not the saying. That’s the opposite of what the saying is.
Bruce
Barry Allen. Bruce Wayne.
You said that like it explains why there’s a total stranger in my place sitting in the dark in my second favorite chair.
Bruce
Tell me about this.
This is a person who looks exactly like me but who is definitely not me.
Bruce
Silica-based quartz sand fabric. Abrasion resistant. Heat resistant.
Uh, yeah, I do– competitive ice dancing.
Bruce
It's what they use on the space shuttle to prevent it from burning up on re-entry.
I do– very competitive ice dancing.
Whoever you're looking for, it's not– [Bruce suddenly throws a Batarang straight at Barry, who uses his super-speed to step out of the way. As he glances at the Batarang, he looks at Bruce in shock, then catches it] You're the Batman?
Bruce
So, you're fast.
That feels like an oversimplification.
Bruce
I'm putting together a team of people with special abilities. See, I believe enemies are coming–
Stop right there. I'm in.
Bruce
You are?
Yeah, I– I need– friends. People are difficult, they require a lot of focus. They, uh– they have a rhythm that I haven't quite been able to– like brunch! What is brunch? You wait in line for an hour for, essentially, lunch. I mean– I don't know. People are– a little slow.
Bruce
I'll try to keep up.
Can I keep this?
What are your superpowers again?
Bruce
I'm rich.
How many of you are there?
Not enough.
Do you really think that– [He turns around to see only the Flash standing behind him, the others have disappeared]
Flash
Oh, wow, they just, they really just vanished. Huh? Oh. That's rude. [Speeds off]
Flash
Here's the thing. See, I'm afraid of bugs, and guns, and obnoxiously tall people, and murder. I can't be here! It's really cool, you guys seem ready to do battle and stuff, but, full transparency, I've never done battle. I've just pushed some people and run away!
Save one.
Flash
What?
Save one person.
Flash
Uh– which one?
Don't talk, don't fight. Get in, get one out.
Flash
And– and then?
You'll know.
Flash
Okay.
Steppenwolf
Primitive beings.
Flash
What are we under right now?
Gotham Harbor.
Nice to see you playing well with others.
Aquaman
Dressed like a bat– I dig it.
May be temporary.
Bruce
And that's what science is for: to do what's never been done. To make life better.
Or to end it. Technology is like any other power. Without reason, without heart, it destroys us.
Aquaman
So your genius move is dying? You really are out of your mind.
I'm not the one who brought a pitchfork.
Superman
So how do I help?
We buy him some time, he can stop that box from destroying all life on Earth– we hope.
Superman
Well, I knew you didn't bring me back 'cause you like me.
I don't– not–
Clark.
Superman
I take it back. I wanna die.
Cyborg
Man, my toes hurt! I don't even understand the physics of how my toes can hurt!
Wonder Woman
Children. I work with children.
Steppenwolf
No! This cannot be!
Aquaman
You recognize that smell?
Fear.
Superman
I'm glad I didn't miss this.
Wonder Woman
So am I.
Yeah, Now she's glad.
"Thank you" is– not enough for what you did.
Bruce
I just undid a mistake, that's all.
How did you get the house back from the bank?
Bruce
I bought the bank.
The whole bank?
Bruce
It's like a reflex with me, I don't know.
Bruce
What is it? Mankind's melting the polar ice caps, destroying the ecosystem, they got it coming?
Hey, I don't mind if the ocean dries.
Bruce
How 'bout if they boil?
Dressed like a bat. You're outta your mind, Bruce Wayne. [dives and swims off]
Bruce
Doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Strong man is strongest alone. Have you ever heard that?
Bruce
That’s not the saying. That’s the opposite of what the saying is.
Doesn't mean I'm wrong.
How many of you are there?
Not enough.
8 people abducted from or near STAR Labs. [shows a drawing of a Parademon] Here's our potential perp.
Wonder Woman
Parademons.
Flash
Okay...
Wonder Woman
The demons must've caught the scent of the Mother Box. They carried people away to find out what they know.
So the 8 may still be alive.
Cyborg
9. [everyone turns around] The head of STAR Labs was taken as well.
Wonder Woman
You made it. [Cyborg smiles back]
So then there must be a nest nearby. I plotted all the sightings in Metropolis, Gotham. No pattern I can see. The lines on the map don't converge.
Cyborg
On land. These lead back to Braxton Island between the 2 cities.
Gotham Harbor. These are air vents. They all lead down to the tunnel for Metropolis Project that was abandoned in '29.
Do you really think that– [he turns around to see only the Flash standing behind him, the others have disappeared]
Flash
Oh, wow, they just, they really just vanished. Huh? Oh. That's rude. [speeds off]
