Previously on Justice League. We meet

again, Kell-al. What do you want?Even as

we speak, Apocalypse is being assimilated

by the Kryptonian menace known as

Brainiac. Once he's finished siphoning

the memory banks and technology of my

planet, he'll annihilate it.

Good. We know he used you,

humiliated you. Get over it. All right.

But I need you to do something for me.

Who are you?They call me Forager. Do

you know someone named Orion?Orion is a

god who is far above us. Hold

still. We won't hurt you. No, you

most certainly will not.

Superman has played his part. Now it's

our turn.

You imbeciles are letting Brainiac get

away. Oh, my stars. What

is that thing?We'll know

soon enough.

No response. The controls have been

overridden. So what do we do now?What can

we do but wait?

Welcome, Kal-El.

Once I offered you the chance to join me

in carrying on the legacy of Krypton.

Today, I renew that offer. You

must be joking. Why do you reject

your great heritage?The entire

history of your planet, its knowledge and

splendor, its awe and mystery

are encoded within me.

Superman, don't

I am Krypton.

You're a perversion, dishonoring the very

memory of my father and all my people.

And this is your final decision. Read

my lips. Go to unfortunate,

but predictable.

Someone had to do it. No problem.

Then it's over. Again, you've

miscalculated. It hasn't even

begun.

It's hard, isn't it?But

we must lovingly tend our garden if we

wanted to grow strong and tall. I hate

this. What's wrong, child?I've tried,

High Father. Really, I have. But look.

Patience, my dear. Everything has a

purpose and a place.

Everything?Given time.

High Father.

I have urgent news from Apocalypse.

Indeed. We're friends of Superman.

He sent us to warn you that Darkseid is

under attack on Apocalypse. Do not speak

that name in front of the children.

You'll frighten them. They should be

afraid. For too long, the shadow of

Apocalypse has threatened New Genesis.

Come with me.

Would you excuse us, children?

Well, let me mount an army. While

Darkseid is under siege, we will attack

and end his reign of terror once and for

all. Superman asked for your help. He

doesn't want to start a war. Don't be so

sure. You forget. In the name of

peace, we swore not to interfere on

Apocalypse. We made a pact. As

long as Darkseid is in power, there can

be no real peace. There is truth

in what you say. Then give the order.

No!Although I love you like a son,

you are too young to remember the endless

bloodshed we endured. Before making such

a terrible decision, I must commune with

the source. You will await my verdict.

Yes, High Father.

Dark side

It appears our stratagem was a success,

yes. As

promised, I've delivered Superman into

your hands.

Those people we met down below, who are

they?They're not important. Just bugs.

And where are you going?To face Darkseid.

But Highfather ordered you to wait. Why

are you so eager to fight?I have my

reasons. Now stand aside. We can't

let you go. try to stop me.

Next time I let Superman take charge,

just hit me real hard.

Remember the terms of our bargain. In

exchange for Superman, you promised to

spare my planet. Agreed.

But I still can't fathom why you need

him. Surely not for simple revenge.

It is quite elementary. Observe.

Over the years, I have roamed the

universe, collecting data.

As my appetite grew,I changed and

evolved into what you see today.

From this central core, I can send

countless drones to the farthest corners

of the galaxy to gather more data for my

collection. But it is not enough.

I have reached the limits of my

programmed functions to evolve to the

next level. I must extract living

DNA from the last Kryptonian.

Now I become a true life form, the

lights of which this universe has never

seen.

Wait, what have you done?just a

minor modification to override your

control circuits. You are

now the instrument of my will.

You deceived me, Darkseid. Used

me. It's what I do.

was all an elaborate trap. Where

is Superman?

I can't locate him. He's either

unconscious or...

All these worlds that Brainiac has

visited. Somewhere in here there might be

information about Vanigar.

There's no time to think about that.

Superman needs us.

Why are you doing this?Before Brainiac

had the power to devour planets, now he

can consume an entire universe.

He is my solution to the ultimate

problem, the anti-life equation.

This isn't Apocalypse. No, but Mother Box

senses Darkseid's hand here.

But why?You of all people

should know the universe is filled with

chaos, confusion and uncertainty.

I will tear it down to nothing and

then rebuild it, bringing order and

discipline at last. Think of it,

Superman, a new universe created in

my image.

My father, what is it?

Dark side. Get

everyone to the escape pods. What?

We have no choice. Evacuate the

city.

Dark side, I calculate that this reaction

will soon reach critical mass. If you

don't release me, there will be no

stopping it. Precisely. Then I

guess it's up to us.

Brainiac, stop them. I have no

desire to save you, but I am compelled

to obey.

Get back. No way.

no!

Finish them, now.

Hello, Father. Don't I get a hug?

Having fun?Yes.

Come on.

Cover me.

My pleasure.

By the gods.

Walking. circuit incomplete. Critical

system failure.

Where's Darkseid?I don't know, but we've

got to get out of here.

I'm glad to see growing up with High

Father hasn't made you soft and weak.

You make an old man

proud, but I won't let you or anyone

else stand in my way.

Spare the rod.

Any minute now, Brainiac will explode.

And guess what?You're going with him.

No, Darkseid. To get off this rock,

you'll have to go through me. You really

are a glutton for punishment. Time and

again, I've beaten you, humbled you. What

makes you think today's outcome will be

any different?Because this time, I won't

stop until you're just a greasy smear

on my fist. Let's go.

Seems you need another lesson in

humility, boy.

Wait! Where's Superman?

That idiot. I'll get him. The rest of you

take off. Now. But... just do it!

I hope he knows what he's doing.

This is where you belong,

Superman, under my heel.

Superman,

go. I'm finishing this. Don't be a

fool.

Get out of here now.

Loser.

Nothing could have survived that. Not

even Dark Side. You

know something, Bruce?

You're not always right.

Any sign of the others?I've searched

everywhere. There's nothing.

Then all is lost.

Listen. I'll race you!

Hi, Father! Hi, Father!

It's a miracle.

How did you survive?He found us and hid

us in his hive until the storm blew over.

You did this?Forgive my

presumption, High Father.

No, forgive me

for forgetting that everything has a

purpose. and a place.

Today, here at our side,

you have found your place.

Perhaps someday you will find yours as

well.

Someday.
