Original subtitles

Yeah, thank you. You too.

Good morning. What can I get you?

Where's the curly hair lady? Sarah?

She's out sick, or at least that's what she says.

She's got a new boyfriend.

What can I get you?

Usually it's my usual, and she usually has it ready because I'm usually late.

Well, don't keep me in suspense.

Um, the PB and BRHC on a roll?

Okay, so...

PB would be peanut butter, I'm assuming?

Yes, BR, bananas, raisins, H, honey, C, cheese on a roll. Aren't you blessed

with a fast metabolism?

Are you running a marathon or something?

You know, my sister ran a marathon once, God rest her soul.

She's not dead, she's just exhausted.

We get it, Sharon, you ran, but everyone has to work in the morning. Yeah, I

have to go to work three minutes ago, and sorry, I'm in sort of a rush for the

sandwich. You can't rush a good sandwich, dude.

Good morning, Mr. Allen.

No, I'm weak. And I'm starving, and curly -haired girl isn't here, and her

is Sarah, and she has a boyfriend. We have a situation at Gotham General. A

robbery gone wrong.

This is the middle of the morning. Why is our bat friend even awake?

Call Superman.

That was my first thought.

Sadly, he's otherwise engaged.

Classic.

What about Diana?

My other first thought. Rather annoyingly, she's not. picking up. How

thoughts exactly did you have before you first thought of me? Never about her.

I'm sorry, is my sandwich red?

I learned my lesson on the boat last year. Stuff my sister comes out with

she's drunk. Personal comments about my mom's friends as well, which I think is

lovely about her.

Hi.

Thank you. You seem very nice also. Oh, my God.

Tracking you into Mr. Wayne. No, please don't.

Sorry if this sounds weird, but are you actively eating that candy bar?

Maybe you could throw it to me.

In the name of justice.

I need you here now, Barry.

Hi, Bruce. Yes, I'm...

got you on the line

This is a huge mess.

Why aren't you here?

Bruce,

why does it sound like you're fleeing the scene?

So Cone's idiot kid decided to try to play in the big leagues. Put a crew

together and broke into the lab at Gotham General.

Stole a highly deadly virus.

I intercepted them, but they blasted their way out.

You can handle the hospital, Barry. Somebody has to save the rest of the

so I was going to do that. You don't mind?

Sounds about right, Bruce.

Thanks for saving me from the think -all, Flash.

Barry, gas and water pipes ruptured. In the basement.

Right.

On it.

that I'm essentially the janitor of the Justice League, which sucks, but I've

come to accept it.

But I can't help but notice that it always seems to be a bat mess that I'm

cleaning up.

My calculations are correct, and history will prove they usually are. The

foundational damage is about to cause the collapse of the East Wing.

East Wing's fine.

Which is good, because my speed is lagging. Running on empty, Alfred.

Do you hear that?

That's my stomach.

I don't know.

It's the collapse of the East Wing.

Help yourself.

There's a baby.

Mr. Allen, you've made me very proud.

And a lot of mothers very happy. Oh!

Okay.

I understand that these events can be psychologically scarring. You should

the services of a mental health professional. The Justice League is not

good at that part yet.

Trust me.

Thank you.

case falls into the water, it could wipe out half of Gotham by lunchtime.

Don't drop me.

Oh, God, no.

Please don't.

Sorry I'm late.

Watch your step.

Nice suit.

Looking good, Flash.

Well, I thank you.

And you are welcome.

My ego's far too big to say thank you to someone else.

I developed this all -powerful persona to compensate for my childhood trauma.

I, too, have childhood trauma.

The last of truth.

Never gets old. I'd do a lot better just to give you all that money I have.

I really want to end crime and poverty.

I know sex exists. I've just never experienced it.

Well, I have to run.

Always a pleasure.

The sex thing was a metaphor for gothic literature. There was just no way to

recover from that. Just let it go.

Well, I'd really love to stay and clean up more mess, but... This little

superhero needs his breakfast.

Goodbye, Flash.

Yeah. Goodbye, Batman.

Well done, Mr. Wayne.

Will you be home for breakfast, sir?

Yeah.

This is never about her. This is about you.

You have to stop living in the past.

Now, is that fast enough for you?

Look who's here. Shut up, Robert.

Every day. I don't know how you do it, Barry.

Would you, like, crawl here, bro? Is he mad?

Well, you're getting fired.

You're getting murdered.

No, no, no. Let me guess.

Your alarm clock didn't go off.

Your dog ate your alarm clock.

Your alarm clock ate your keys.

Your keys' grandmother died, and they need a personal date.

None of those things. What was it this time, Barry?

It was something else.

It was far less outlandish, and I know I missed the meeting, but I'd still

really like to present these case files for potential review. I think we rushed

these cases. We need to reopen them. Rushed?

We got a backlog six months deep, and you want us to move slower?

You need to focus your motion.

Do the work. Close the case. Move on.

You have a lot of potential, Barry.

You shouldn't still be getting me coffee after all these years.

You're right. That's true.

Go get me a coffee.

Two sugars? Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

You're gonna love this.

But with the ruling in the Johnson case, the evidence our lab analyzed was more

than sufficient to be conclusive. Still working that evidence.

hard work and focus.

Barry was still working on that evidence.

I think if we're up to you, we'd still be scraping Ted Bundy's molars. You know

what? I'm so happy you find this all so hilarious, but we are dealing with real

people's lives, people's families, and I don't think you can grasp the gravity

of that. So why don't you leave me alone?

Barry Allen?

Iris West.

You know my full name also?

Yes, from school.

Oh, Barry, you didn't tell us you had a friend from school. We actually didn't

know that Barry had a friend. Yeah, what does that make you now?

One? One.

You guys.

So, bye, you guys.

Okay, all fine.

They're not really my friends. They're my work friends. Do you work here?

Yes, I do.

God, it's been a long time, huh?

I feel like we saw each other like a few years ago, right?

No, because we haven't seen each other since college.

Maybe I was just thinking about you.

Well, I'm really glad I ran into you. Yeah. Yeah.

Your father's appeal is tomorrow, right?

Yeah. How... Sorry, how do you know about that?

I'm covering it for the paper.

Oh. How is he holding up?

Um... Are you asking for the paper? No, I'm asking as a friend.

Oh. Although I'm sure the public would want to know as well.

Well, my only official comment is that my dad is innocent.

Right. I mean, no one would want to believe that their father killed their

mother. What do you mean believe? My dad shouldn't be in jail. My mom should be

alive. It's not about what I believe. It's about what the truth is. Right. No,

death. Oh,

my God. That's what I meant.

Right. Sorry, I have no official comment at this time.

from the Iron Heights Minitentiary. Do you wish to accept?

Yeah.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Barry.

How you doing?

I'm fine.

You getting out much?

Yeah. No.

No.

But I ran into an old college friend, Iris West, today.

Didn't you have a monster crush on her?

Well, she had a boyfriend.

Why don't you ask her out?

Dad, I, um...

I had a friend run the old security camera footage from the store through

new program he's developed.

And it's crystal clear now.

It's just... You never look up, Dad.

You can't see your face.

So without new evidence to support your alibi, we're just going to need to start

thinking about the next appeal. No, uh -uh. You need to stop worrying about

old man.

girlfriend dad i don't want we've done this before this was a laugh at jeffrey

and we'll go through the motions tomorrow but i'm okay really you know

i even think it's probably easier for me to be in here than out there without

her is this way i can imagine she's alive out there living her life

Yeah, I'm here, Dad.

Hey, remember that sauce you make on Sundays?

Oh, how's it smell like basil and tomatoes?

I should put on my sweats and start singing.

Yeah, what was that song?

Oh, what was that song?

Remember that part.

It's not fair.

What's not fair, Mankey?

This question is... Stupid.

How many calculations can you think of with an answer of 24?

There are a bajillion answers.

How are we supposed to fit them all? You are right. There are a bajillion

answers to this question.

Not every problem has a solution.

Sometimes you just have to let go.

Get your grain of bread and help me make the pasta. Come on.

No. Henry!

I need you to do me a favor.

How many favors?

Okay. Barry needs you to do him a favor.

Oh, Barry.

Yeah, anything.

I need another can of tomato.

You have a can of tomatoes? I need another one.

I thought you guys went to the store this morning.

But I forgot the tomatoes.

This looks way more fun.

Let's just let Barry go to the store. You drive, right, Squirm? What?

You're getting so big, you can do anything.

Look at you.

You're getting gray, actually. Green can, not the blue one, okay? Got it.

Blue can, not the green one, right?

No. What? Blue can, not the blue one.

Oh, God.

She's going to start singing.

Run!

Run, Barry!

I love you. I love you more.

I love you first.

been terminated.

Okay.

Now is that bad enough for you?

So you're saying you went back in time, like in Pajarnov? Yeah, like in

Pajarnov, except Pajarnov was a second. This time I went back a whole day. So

let's imagine that it is in fact possible for you to run faster than the

of light, and in so doing, travel back in time.

It still would be wildly irresponsible.

I knew you were going to say that. Yes, because if you were to go into the past,

any interaction you have with your parents or yourself...

You stepped on the wrong blade of grass. You have no idea what the consequences

to that can be. I know. The butterfly effect, right? Yes. I get it.

But, Bruce, I can fix things.

You can also destroy everything.

I can save her.

I can save both of them. I can save your parents.

Every scar that we have, make us who we are.

We're not meant to go back and fix them.

And there's nothing broken with you that needs to be fixed.

Take it from me, I've made a lot of mistakes.

Don't live your best.

Live your life.

Don't let your tragedy define you.

What if it's supposed to define me?

Your tragedy made you a hero.

And also made me alone.

We could hang out.

Do you want to get a bite?

I'm still hungry.

Not this time.

Maybe some other time.

Yeah.

Nice ride.

You have fancy friends.

Yeah, it was an Uber.

Exec.

Look, Iris, I really can't talk about the case at all. I'm not here as a

reporter.

Can we talk?

Come on in.

I'm not going to lie. It's a lot tidier in here than I expected.

Yeah? Yeah. Yeah, well, I'm a pretty tidy person.

Can I offer you a drink? Sure.

I'll take a beer.

Beer,

beer, beer.

I keep them in my fridge.

Thanks.

Sure.

Look, I feel really bad about earlier.

I should have been more sensitive.

And I probably could have been less sensitive.

I mean, I can't imagine what you've been through.

It's like you lost both parents in one day.

Yeah, I did.

I lost my mom to a tragedy, and I lost my dad to the failures of the justice

system. Is that why you got into criminal forensics?

To try and fix the system?

Yeah.

He had to fix it.

There's got to be a way to fix it, right?

I mean, that's kind of why I got into journalism, too.

I could make it right if I could just go back somehow and warn them without them

knowing that I'd warned them.

Thinking like that's going to drive you crazy.

If I could just go back in time and stop the guy who did it. No, I can't do that

because that's way too much interaction.

My dad wasn't even at home. My mom sent him to go get a can of tomato.

I think whoever broke into the house thought it was empty, but then my mom

in there with the knife in her hand and things went bad, just this absurd chain

of events.

And it's like this footage should have finally supported my dad's alibi, but

instead, three wives ruined for a can of tomatoes.

Oh my God.

What?

Well, that could be it.

If my mom doesn't forget the tomatoes in the first place, then he never leaves

and she never dies.

No one would even have to see me.

Bruce said no interaction. This is no interaction. Just quick in, quick out,

back to the present like I was never even there. That's how I fixed it. Oh,

God, Iris.

Thank you so much. This has been great.

I'm sorry.

I have to leave.

Okay, right.

I had a really great time, by the way. We should do this again.

so you're fat your dad's

a murderer

Hi, Mom.

Don't forget the tomato.

See you soon.

Please work.

Wow, happy birthday. Happy birthday baby.

What are you wearing?

Is that fairy?

And he's early?

What universe is this?

You cut your hair.

Now you can see your eyes.

You look terrible.

Henry, you look beautiful, baby.

What are they doing to you over there?

Leave him alone. He's perfect.

Come here.

I love you so much. I love you too.

I love you more.

I loved you first.

Go take a shower and change.

You smell like a boot.

Go, go, go.

Old? Seriously?

Well, no, I mean, like, mature.

If that age wants to look old and, you know, gets into bars that way.

Uh, how can I help?

Mm. Mom, how was your day?

How was your month? Or did it last 18 years?

That's a weird question.

Because I was here.

But obviously we share those memories together.

Or I don't know, maybe we can make them new memories. Like we could go to the

aquarium or the circus or to the park and you could push me on a swing. That's

also weird because I'm an adult now, so I probably motivate my own emotion on a

swing. So how was it this week? How was school?

School was good.

School's been great. I've just been working really hard there on my...

Studies. Did you ask out that girl for me, Con? I know freshman year is about

going out, meeting people, okay?

Exploring things.

Experimenting. But you have to be very careful.

Oh, shit.

I have to shit.

Outside.

Why are you here?

What year is it?

It's my face. You stole my face.

Think about having a mushroom flashback.

Is that a thing? How old are you?

18.

This is mad trippy.

So we're, like, in the future.

No, wait. This is not trippy, dude. This is catastrophic.

And no, we're not in the future. I was supposed to be back in the present, but

I'm still in the past.

And there's not supposed to be two of me.

You and I are not supposed to be occupying the same reality at all, let

interacting. Can't we have a superhero who time travels? No, no, no, no. You

not anything, which is good. You don't want to be a superhero. It's scary, and

get a bug splatter in my teeth all the time.

Awesome. Hey, do the thing again.

No, we don't have time.

Mom!

What are you doing? You're going to tattle now?

Do the thing.

Fine.

Happy? Yeah.

Now undo it.

So, do you have, like, a plane that goes underwater or, like, a boat that can

fly? How old are you, like, 40? Okay, you don't stop talking.

It's not charming.

It's abrasive and exhausting and, oh, my God, I am starting to realize what

people mean.

Just do me a favor and promise me that meeting me isn't going to screw up space

time.

Broski, I got you.

Shit, I'm in so much trouble. What do you mean?

I could drug you.

Yeah, I could drug you, and then you pass out, and you wake up, and you

that anything ever happened, and it wouldn't be wrong, right? Because you're

No! I mean, we shouldn't.

Please don't drug me. No. No.

Because here's the thing, and I thought about it before. I don't want to be

drugged, but I'm sure we can think of another way. Let's put on our Barry

thinking caps and think of a different solution for memory loss.

Also, I'm a green belt in the quora, and I am... extensively studied wrestler,

and I could just go frickin' lunatic on you. Besides, I have a date tonight.

Okay.

How hard do you have to hit someone to make them forget stuff?

If I hit you in the past, will it hurt me in the future?

Wait. You said you have a date tonight?

Yeah. Wait, what were you doing? Nothing.

Who's your date with? This super babe in my econ class.

Iris West?

Oh, my God.

Do we marry her? You're going on a date with her tonight?

That's why I need Mom to do my laundry. You don't even do your own laundry?

Do you?

Okay.

I'm actually going to go. What do you mean?

Enjoy your life. Do you.

Change literally nothing.

I'll see you again never. I have a few more questions, though. We have so much

to learn from each other.

Great. You're leaving me, and now this storm's going to ruin my day.

What day is it today?

Sunday? No, the date.

It's September 29th.

Shit.

Storm, this is the day.

What day?

The day I got my powers. The day you get your powers.

Powers? Listen, I can't tell you why I traveled back in time, and I can't tell

you what I changed.

But essentially, in my version of reality, I ended up interning at the

City Crime Lab in my freshman year.

That's where it happened. Well, it happened.

Tonight, September 29th, the accident that gives me my powers. And if you're

there, it's 30 minutes.

Then you won't get the powers.

Which means I don't get the powers, maybe.

And then that would mean that I lose my way of getting back in time in the first

place. And then I literally have no idea what happens.

Wait, but what about our date tonight?

She might be our future wife.

There might not be a future if you don't come with me right now.

Eight minutes.

How are we going to get inside? What are you doing?

Stop whining.

You're going to feel kind of weird.

We walked through the door.

Well, this is it. This is where I was sitting.

And would you take this for you? Thank you.

Hey, I just opened those windows.

Clear out the fumes.

Right around now, I was sitting in that chair, right under this shelf of

chemicals, and that's when the lightning hit.

Wait. I get hit by lightning?

No, no, no. You don't get hit by lightning. Okay. The lightning hits the

chemicals, which then you get bathed in, and that's what electrocutes you. Okay,

but I want to be electrocuted. Sit down. You sit down. I already have the

powers. You already have the powers. Exactly. I am not getting struck by

lightning.

It looks like you lost a tooth.

You lost a tooth.

Alright,

you gotta go.

Go check it.

Security entrance.

Oh. Look at that face.

Why is your place so much nicer than I expected it to be? You like it? Mom had

to help decorate.

You know Mom.

Right. Yeah. Classic Mom.

Classic Mom.

What a day.

Barry, the accident gave you powers, but took mine away.

So I don't know how I get back. Without access to the Speed Force, I don't know

how I ever leave.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

I might be stuck.

Wait.

I have powers now?

Yeah, but...

Holy

speedballs.

Okay, I know this is incredibly exciting because I went through it...

Speedy Gonzalez.

Yes, I've done it many times myself. You can't just stop me.

What did you do?

Nothing. Why?

Barry, I could have told you about the clothes.

Friction. You run too fast and regular fabrics are gonna burn up. It's the same

reason why you can't move people very far at hyper speed.

That broccoli looks rotten.

Look, some things you can move. Like, you can move, for instance, a microwave.

But you can't move something like, say, A baby.

Barry, it's like I've never eaten anything before. Everything is just

flavor. Try a little.

Just take a little bite.

That's bad, isn't it? No, that's not good. No, I was kidding. I'm amazing.

Look. We're amazing.

I'm so hungry.

Hey, wait.

I want to try that phasing thing. How do I do that?

You don't. Not yet. OK? It's very complicated.

Take a long time to train your body to be able to speed up whilst your

slow down enough to pass through the . Molecular structure is solid.

You've got to start letting me finish my sentences.

Are we always this sleepy and hungry and naked?

Well, the first two, yeah. The third one, no. I figured that part out.

Honestly, if we're going to do this, there's a lot I'm going to have to

to you. So a good place to start, I guess, is that, yeah, the original suit

actually made out of this poly... Or we'll pick this up tomorrow.

So the suit is inside the ring.

Yeah. What?

Am I going to have this? No, you can't have it. You can borrow it so you don't

kill yourself using your powers.

You're gonna push this button, and the silk molecules are gonna uncoil,

absorbing atmospheric gases and expanding the suit to full size.

Ready?

It was so tiny for a while. You're supposed to put it on before it hits the

floor. What, like... change right here in front of you? There's no one even

anyway, Barry.

Oh, man.

Tight.

It hurts.

You know where it hurts?

In my dick. Okay, I know. I know, but I don't need to know.

Sorry, can we move on?

Here's what I'm thinking.

If I can train you to move like I do, then we can recreate the chrono bowl.

Chrono bowl?

In the speed force.

Speed force.

And then maybe we can find some way to get me back to the future. Back to the

future!

Yes, Eric Stoltz is your boy in that movie. What an embodied performance.

You mean Michael J. Fox?

Back to the Future? Yeah, in the movie Back to the Future.

What's going on?

You need to take the suit off now.

My name is General Zod.

I come from a world far from yours.

For some time your world has sheltered

What's

happening That's looking for Superman what Superman

Superman is an alien who is on earth. I'm assuming still incognito, but

yes, he's an alien and he's very powerful and He's just the best and then

an alien from the same planet, also very powerful, but he's just the worst.

And Zod came here to find Clark.

Wait, who's Clark? Well, Clark is Superman.

Oh, okay. But then Zod also tried to terraform the planet with this world

thing, and Superman stopped him eventually, but not before Zod killed

of people.

And at the time, there was nothing I could do.

You were there?

Yeah, I had just gotten my powers.

I was still putting some finishing touches on my suit.

This thing, the world engine, it started destroying Metropolis, so I just went

there and I started trying to save people.

There was this kid, and I got him, but then I couldn't get his dad.

That was all I could do to save

that one kid.

Superman could stop Zod.

But not in time to save those people.

And now it's about to happen again.

But if I can find the entire Justice League, Superman and the rest of the

then maybe I can prevent the whole thing from ever even happening at all.

Give me your laptop.

Okay. Look at that smell.

Could be anything.

Who's that?

Oh, that's Gary. That's the smell.

Don't worry, he's breezy.

We can do this.

Let's see. Victor Stone, Gotham City University.

Oh,

this is my roommate, Patty.

Patty is your roommate?

And that's her boyfriend, Albert.

What's up?

Good morning.

Oh, sorry.

And, uh, guys.

This is my cousin, Barry.

Whoa.

I'm starving.

Okay. Victor Stone, Gotham City Universe.

Yes, here he is. Victor Stone, star quarterback for the night. Shit, okay.

He's not cyborg yet.

Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman.

Las Vegas residency, illusions, juggling, and zebras.

No, that is not Diana.

Aquaman. Aquaman?

Sound like a super mermaid?

No, Albert, he's not a super mermaid.

Okay, he's half Atlantean, half human, with superhuman strength who can control

marine life with his mind.

Sound like a super mermaid?

No, Albert.

That is what you described.

We'll just try Arthur Curry, Maine, lighthouse.

Here we are. Thomas Curry. Uh, phone.

Hello. Hello, uh, Thomas Curry?

Yes. Could I speak to Arthur?

Is Arthur around?

You want to speak to my dog?

What? No, no, um, sorry. Uh, is this Thomas Curry?

Yes. And you work at a lighthouse?

Yes. Okay, and your wife is the Queen of Atlantis?

Right, but maybe a fish -like woman washed into your life at some point or

another. Very funny, asshole.

Arthur Curry was never born.

What? This is a disaster. I completely destroyed history.

Like Eric Stoltz. Okay, why do you keep saying Eric Stoltz? Eric Stoltz is my

McFoy. What?

Time travel. Oh.

Are you talking Beauty of the Earth? Come on, who is this guy? Okay, yeah, I

know. I've seen.

All of them, and Eric Schultz is not Marty McFly.

Really?

Then explain Marty McFly here.

I can't explain that to you, Gary. That's not your thigh.

It's the wrong actor, and it's upside down.

Is it?

But the point is that in Back to the Future, Marty McFly is very famously

by Michael J. Fox.

The guy from Footloose? No, that's Kevin Bacon. Bacon.

Kevin Bacon's Maverick with the volleyball, the gay guys on the planes.

Top Gun. Great balls of fire. Top Gun. No, no, no, no. Right?

I completely broke the universe.

Marty McFly is Eric Stoltz. Yes. Thank you.

I created a world with no metahumans.

And now there's no one to defend us from Sonic. Albert!

There's no Cyborg.

There's no Aquaman. There's no Wonder Woman. There's no Superman.

There's no Batman.

I'm Batman.

You. What did you just say?

I'm Batman.

Batman exists, Hundo P. Yeah, dude. Nobody knows who he really is, but he

exists. Right.

Well, we, my cousin Barry and I, have to go to that cousin's dinner now.

But it was a pleasure to meet you.

All? And Gary?

Barry.

Barry. Gary.

Barry!

What, are you freaking kidding me with this place?

What is this, hell?

Look at all this cool shit. Okay, Harry, don't touch anything.

I know you painted.

They're good.

Bruce Wayne?

Bruce?

Hey, check this out. There's, like, bells connected to every room in this

Hey, maybe we could find this Bruce guy if we just ring all these bells, right?

You don't understand how servant bells work? Those are all the bells. You ring

them from all the other places.

What? You don't have, like, Downton Abbey in your universe?

Downtown Abbey?

The chain of, like, family -style restaurants?

They're, like, it's, like, cheaper banana bees?

Oh, you know what I'd really go for right now?

Abbey's sizzling zucchini square?

right with you.

lives here.

We're looking for Bruce Wayne.

You're the

same

person as him, but from an alternate timeline.

Yes. In which you and I are friends.

Yeah, you're like probably my best friend.

Well, but you're a bit, you're chronologically different. Older. Well,

that's what I can't understand.

I traveled back in time from here to here, yet somehow everything's all

back here.

Like when you were born, so.

Well, time isn't linear, right?

Right.

At some point, we probably saw a movie that told you.

If you went back and changed the past, you'd create a kind of a branched

timeline, right?

Look.

New present, new future.

Yeah. Well, time doesn't work like that.

That's not how time works. When you go back and change the past, you create a

fulcrum. You put yourself on a whole other strand of spaghetti.

The future, new path.

It's retrocausal.

It goes both ways.

Actually, it goes many ways.

Maybe some other time.

Okay, but in an ontological paradox model, there's not... What you did was

changed the future and you changed the past.

If a person is stupid enough to mess with time, what you eventually end up

is this.

A multiverse.

Some strands run.

Almost parallel.

There will be inevitable intersections and others that are just wildly

divergent.

But it is a hot mess.

It's a crapshoot.

It's all just a crapshoot. What does the parmesan mean?

The metaphor's over. It's just a garnish.

Can I tell you something?

A person would have to be an idiot to play craps with a space -time

continuum.

Idiot.

Here.

Are you joking with the chewing noises right now?

So, uh, you're the reason this Zod character is about to destroy the Earth?

Maybe. There's a guy called Superman who can stop Zod. Yeah, yeah. And flies?

Shoots lasers out of his eyes.

Yeah, he flies and he shoots lasers out of his eyes, yes.

No one said Superman.

That might be a little on the nose.

You call yourself Batman?

Yeah. I don't call myself Super Batman.

Wait,

he's Batman?

What did you think we were doing here? I thought this was the cousin's dinner.

He's Bruce Wayne as Batman?

Not really, not so much anymore.

You know, they don't really need me.

Things have changed.

Gotham's now one of the biggest cities in the world.

I need you. We need you. In my timeline, Batman's our strategist, our leader.

The world needs Superman.

You're the best detective in the world. You're probably the only person who can

help me find him.

So will you help us?

Pass.

Like, pass the salt?

Bruce?

He doesn't want to help us?

We're going to use his bat shit.

Bat shit?

Yeah, it's bad stuff. It's bad things.

Stand on that thing.

Okay. Remember when you played through the floor? Yeah.

So, I need you to do that again.

What is

this place?

Dude, this place straight feels... Feels?

Barry!

I almost died in an abyss! 12 ,805 quark counts in the U .S.

Is this what I think it is?

this thing on the news when I was a kid.

Okay, fine, sir.

The date of birth wasn't born. He arrived.

Oh, Barry, look!

I'm busy.

With what?

Looking for unidentified objects entering Earth's atmosphere anywhere

Kansas in the last 50 years.

He has a back door into NASA.

Of course he does.

Yeah, but Barry, check this out.

It's bad luck.

Can't you take anything seriously?

Stop messing around.

Dude, come on.

Have you seen this place?

It's amazing.

Hello.

Has the gravity of this not sunk in for you?

Stop messing around, Barry. I won't say it again.

Yeesh. Sorry, Mom.

Shut up.

Shut up.

You have no idea how lucky you are.

No idea. You take everything for granted. You don't even appreciate.

You just walk around thinking you're so funny and so cool.

And it's embarrassing because you're not any of those things.

Screw you, man.

I've done nothing but everything you've asked.

You made me get struck by lightning. I phased naked through the floor and I

terrified Mrs. Johansson. Now I'm probably going to have to move. You

tell me why you're here.

But will you at least tell me why you're being so mean to me for no reason? You

use monkey as a dartboard.

Wait, what?

Forget it.

The monkey.

So you're mad at me for playing with a toy?

It's not a toy.

Mom bought us that monkey.

Because she calls us monkeys. She gives us monkey stuff all the time.

Right.

Look, I'm sorry.

I'm not very good with people.

myself. Oh.

Come on, dude. You're not that bad.

You can just be kind of a dick sometimes, but... Let's face it, I am

obnoxious. But I just get excited.

Come on. This place is pretty cool, right?

Yeah.

Alright. Well, um... I'll let you work.

I know you're there.

You know what I'm stuck on?

That thing you said with the spaghetti.

You said there were certain intersections that would always be

You had an Alfred.

My Bruce has an Alfred.

Different worlds, different times.

Yet, there it is.

Certain people.

Certain events. Certain strands of spaghetti.

Drawn to each other like... Like magnets.

I've read all about temporal paradoxes and causal whoops, but... This is more

than that.

Inevitable intersections are something none of the theories could have

anticipated, because, well, how do you explain that except for... Fate.

If you are listening, sorry about your parents.

I'm just trying to save mine.

He's away, Barry.

Barry, wake up.

Clark's being held by a mercenary group in a Siberian black site.

Get up, Barry.

The goat's on fire.

We're going to Russia.

Sweet.

Oh, mmm, coffee.

How are we going to get to Russia?

I'll help you get this Superman.

Then, you're on your own.

Well, you're... You are, you're...

Yeah.

I'm Batman.

We're just going to, what, grab Superman and tip him before the block is hot?

I don't know.

Hey, you should ask him.

You're asking him. You should ask him. Yeah.

I'm not going to ask him. Why not? I thought Batman was supposed to be a

Not this one. Not this Batman.

We're here.

Activating hover mode.

Ejector seat on. Ejector seat.

Ejector seat.

Okay, there's David.

You're strapped to your parachutes.

All clear. Let's move.

Everybody fast now.

Why is it so cold? The Arctic, Barry.

Where'd he go?

I don't know. Let's follow the footprints.

I think the man would be down there for sure.

What did you do? I had to move you.

But I just did it a little.

This might hurt.

Put him away.

Let's go.

That's where you keep Superman.

He's a big scrotum.

He's going to hack the Soviet security cyber scrotum with a flip phone?

It's not him.

He's gotta go.

Wait.

We can't just leave her here and look at her.

I'll grab her. Just go!

Mr. Brony.

What? Stop!

Hurry, hurry.

We couldn't.

Oh,

great. To die at the feet of a sputnik.

Oh, man, I need this key.

Stay calm.

It'll heal. Come on.

How much do you weigh? 180 each. Trust her. 440.

Hold on.

Hey, this is serious. Barry, shut up. Yeah, okay.

What's the play?

Batman, what do we do? What now?

Now, we try not to die.

I should have seen that in slow -mo.

Yeah, I'm just realizing that I didn't really think this through.

There are good Kryptonians, and then there are very, very bad Kryptonians.

was very confident that we were just going to find Superman. And if we found

Superman, this would all be super simple. Who are you? Holy Funyuns.

Hi.

I'm Barry. We're Barry.

We were trying to find Kal -El, but we found you instead.

What do you want with Kal -El?

We were...

Trying to, trying to rescue him. Why?

Because he's my friend.

Do you, do you know him?

She looks mad.

Get ready.

She might do laser vision, or she might do like a freezy breath, or she might

just start rolling.

My name is Kara, daughter of Zor -El.

Kal -El is my cousin.

Right, and who's Kal -El again?

Superman. No, because you said that was Clark.

Who's Clark?

Clark is his human name.

He was an infant when we left.

The last son of Krypton, I... I was sent to protect him.

Looks like he never made it to Earth in this universe.

Our pods, they must have separated.

Wait, so you thought a baby was going to protect us from the odd guy?

General Zod is here.

He must have tracked my pod signal.

I have to go.

Whoa, whoa, wait.

Whoa, you need to recover your strength.

Actually, Barry.

Take her to the roof and put her in the sun.

Yeah.

Yeah, whatever. Like, I mean, you're solar powered.

Good for you. I've been trying to.

Oh, we'll take that.

Mike, will you turn around?

Are you dressed in a red cape?

You're levitating?

It's always this loud.

Is it loud?

Are you, uh, good? Do you feel, um, do you feel...

Strong yet?

Yeah,

that seems strong.

You know, old man Barry down there says if we don't stop Captain Zod, he'll kill

thousands of people.

Billions of people.

Billions?

Of your people.

They're good people.

Good people.

We came to this planet looking... For a safe place to live. And they put me in a

cage.

Yeah. A lot of humans are dicks.

But... And there's... There's babies.

And... Bowerinas.

And entertainment wrestlers. A lot of humans are worth saving.

Maybe to you.

But I'm not a human.

I'm a Kryptonian.

Don.

I have to get my powers back.

I can recreate the accident that gave me my powers. Maybe I can reconnect to the

Speed Force, and maybe we'd stand a chance against Zod.

Or kill yourself in the process.

Tell me something.

If you get your powers back, you can go anywhere. You've got another timeline,

another universe.

Why do you want to stay and fight to save this one?

Because this is the world where my mom lives.

save her.

I'm not going to lose her again.

The kid doesn't know, does he?

Do you tell him something like that?

I lost my parents. That pain

made

me who I am.

I'm not sure I know who I am without it, actually.

I spent a lifetime trying to right throngs of the path,

as if putting on a cape and fighting crime would bring my parents back.

You actually did it.

So, I guess the plan is to douse yourself in industrial chemicals while

electrocuting yourself.

Yep.

Want some help?

Oh, yeah.

That would be incredibly useful.

You bring me nothing.

I gave you a warning.

Your failure to deliver the Kryptonian traitor is being taken as an act of war.

No.

Okay, when I throw the switch, the current should run up the wire and draw

lightning right to the kite.

Here, put that on.

It's heat and impact resistant.

It should protect you a little. Right, but the point is for me to not be

protected.

Okay.

You're going to need to be out of the way.

I will.

Get on, Chiquita.

This is going to work, right?

Of course it's going to work.

Nothing we haven't done before.

Besides, this time we have Batman.

What could go wrong?

For the record, I think this is insane.

Get back.

See you again Mr. Lightning.

Go again.

But...

Circumscribe.

I've got you.

Sorry. Sorry.

You're okay. It's like last time, right?

You gotta heal now.

Look! Look! Look! It's working! It's working!

It's working!

I can't believe he's doing it.

Oh my God, he's okay.

Dude, he's okay.

How are you feeling?

So?

Maybe this will help.

Dude, come on!

Irresistible! Man, feels good to be back.

Yeah! And what are we wearing tonight?

You like it? I made it myself out of that old bat suit. But, you know, I made

our colors and everything.

Well, check this out.

A bit more loose.

It beefed.

Do you really mean that?

I mean, I don't know what it means exactly to beef, but it seems like

it's positive.

What are you doing?

You came back.

I'm glad you're okay.

I have to ask you something.

When you found me in that hole that they put me in, and I wasn't Kal -El,

why did you help me?

Because you needed help.

Do you know what that symbol stands for?

Supergirl? It means hope, right?

Hope? Yeah, does it mean hope?

Crypton will be beautiful.

We are a people of hope.

Not more.

Zod made me from Krypton.

But he is not my people.

So you're saying... Yes.

I will help you fight Zod.

Yes.

Interesting group.

What did you say, uh...

We were called again.

We're the Justice League.

No. No? Well, I mean, kind of.

We are short one literal goddess, one friendly Terminator and Super Mermaid.

We could definitely use a Batman.

Are you in?

I want to get nuts.

Let's get nuts.

My world's Superman showed up right away when Thod called him out. So as of now,

we're in uncharted territory.

What I do know is that Thod somehow controls the world engines, which will

destroying much more than just Metropolis now. With every passing

don't stop him, Barry, what are you doing?

What?

Our kids are going to want to see this. Your kids?

Well, you know, like everybody's kids. I mean, the children of the world.

They're going to want to see this.

We're getting close.

I'm going to stay airborne and take out their sky power.

And Barry, just so we're clear, what that essentially equates to is you and

versus the entire Kryptonian army.

Chill. We need to buy Kara enough time to take out Zod.

Oh, and remember that your suit doesn't dissipate energy like mine, so you need

to take breaks, otherwise you're going to build up too much charge.

Be what?

The humans we came to protect, they don't know we're on their side.

Zod.

Kara Azura.

We've been waiting for you.

Okay,

and the space giant and Mistress Murder are our responsibility too? Hey, hey,

hey. Don't think about them. Okay, calm down. We're just going to start with

those guys over there.

And yeah, they're Kryptonian and we won't be able to kill them, but we can

them down for her.

One at a time.

Okay, I'm going to disarm them, and then you'll engage.

Hunter.

Come on, Barbie.

Let's go party.

It's okay. You're okay. Come on.

They're fast.

Yes, but not as fast as us.

Terror forming has begun. This world must die so that ours may live again.

No, we cannot go. We cannot go. No, no, no.

Krypton is gone, Zod. Your uncle.

Your elf hid the key to Krypton's rebirth

inside a Kryptonian child.

All the genetic material needed to start again.

Coded inside the DNA, then sent to Earth in an escape pod. He's not here. You

have failed.

We found him.

We intercepted his pod.

But your cousin was not the one we needed.

You are the one, Calazor El.

It is your blood we must harvest. What did you do to Cala? Your sacrifice that

will allow Krypton to live again.

What did you do?

The infant did not survive.

Look, new plan. I'm going to create a cyclonic diversion, and you're going to

just come in hard, feet first this time.

Yes!

Barry, you didn't do that. Careful, you're accumulating too much charge.

What if I just Emperor this guy

That was actually only half stupid. But if you're going to do that and not die,

you need to complete the circuit somehow. Try putting your hands together

this.

Okay.

You're ready.

I'm going after the big one.

How about his?

Bruce, you caught me.

Where's Kara? You go find her.

Bruce!

You check your nose.

failure ejection model failure

Going down.

I'm not going alone.

The car is dead.

They're both dead.

But they don't have to be, right?

Because we can go back, like you did. You're not fast enough yet. You sure?

Is this back enough?

Yeah, I guess so.

Listen, Barry, I... What?

It's okay. We can fix this.

You know what you're going to change? I know what I'm going to change.

I'm going after the big one.

I hope that gun can be shield protected.

Roger that.

But he's not.

Who? Patriot?

Yes, yes, please take him out.

You'll be okay.

Nothing's so good.

Maybe some other time.

We can't bring you back, can we?

You already did, son.

Come on, Barry.

Gotta get up. Come on.

Barry. Go again.

Barry, there's no point.

Okay, I have to pull it out.

I have to pull it out.

Can we please just take a minute?

Sorry, dude. Yeah, but bro, of course.

That's the whole thing. We can take as much time as it takes. That's not what I

mean.

Okay, you good?

Come on. I need you in there. Let's go. Listen to me!

Where were you?

What, did you just stand here the whole time?

Barry. This is an inevitable intersection.

You have to stop. Barry!

There's something I should tell you.

I went back in time and... Because?

Yeah, because Mom died.

How do you know?

It doesn't matter.

Does it?

You know that I have to undo what I did.

No. It's not a mistake. We can save her.

And we can save them.

No, we can't.

This is what Bruce was talking about.

Barry, this is inevitable. We can try a million times and we're not going to be

able to fix this.

No matter what we do, this world dies.

Today.

Look around.

Look at the damage we're causing.

I was just doing my laundry. You're the one who came and told me that I'm a

superhero. And now you're saying what? You don't want me to be? Well, guess

what? It's too late.

I am the Flash.

And I can save everyone.

Nobody dies.

Barry.

Not every problem has a solution.

Sometimes we just have to let go.

Let go of mom?

She'll always be alive somewhere in time.

Always.

It's not for us.

You're full of shit, dude.

I'm going back.

You're going back to kill mom?

No!

You stay right here.

Just give me one more time.

Barry! No!

No!

I think we got off on the wrong foot.

Let's start again.

I'm the Flash.

What's your name?

I lived more than you could dream.

Not an answer?

Do I reflect that?

Whoa.

Get out of here, Barry!

You are.

Yes, I am.

You.

We are so close.

I've got it almost figured out.

How long have you been doing this?

Time is inconsequential.

Only the Joker would think of that.

world.

Gliding and collapsing.

We did this.

We're destroying the fabric of everything.

You have to stop. It stops once I've fixed it!

Not entirely your fault, Barry.

I pushed you out of the chrono ball on that September 29th. You could start me

on this path.

How do you like our endless paradox?

I made you create me.

And now you're the one in my way.

No matter how close I get to winning this fight, you go back and let Mom die.

You're the inevitable intersection.

And you do have to let go.

What's he talking about?

You're my hero.

What did you do?

Hey, hey, don't worry. It's going to heal.

It's going to heal.

I just read.

Hey, you tell Mom I love her.

The tomatoes.

I used to love that cereal when I was a kid.

Yeah.

My son got nuts for it.

They stopped making it.

I know they were talking about discontinuing it.

Do I know you? No, I'm not from around here. I was just visiting my mom.

Maybe I know her.

What's her name?

She's the best... kindest person in the world.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm just... I'm really going to miss her.

I know I'm just a random lady in a store, but do you want a hug?

Sure.

I'm sorry.

Oh, don't say that.

Your mom must be grateful you came to visit her.

She's very lucky to have you.

I'm very lucky to have her.

Ah, you have to tell her that.

Moms like to hear this kind of...

Fucking whore.

I'm back.

Shit! Court!

The little trial was

initially...

I'm so sorry.

As I was saying, the same security camera footage, Exhibit F, in the

trial was initially considered useless, but has now been enhanced using

the latest tech from Wayne Enterprises.

It confirms the alibi Mr. Allen has argued and his son, Barry.

has corroborated since day one.

Here.

Right here, you can clearly see my client, Mr. Allen, reaching for a can of

tomatoes on the top shelf.

Mr. Allen, Mr. Allen, can you tell us a bit more about what happened, please?

Well, the tomatoes moved from the bottom shelf to the top shelf and subsequently

uncooked the spaghetti.

Unquote.

I'm sorry, that makes absolutely no sense. What are you talking about, sir?

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

We're good here. Thank you.

Did I give a good quote? Yeah.

Spaghetti.

Hey, speaking of food, I was thinking, um... You should ask me to dinner.

Dinner with me?

Yes, a date, Barry.

Iris West, do you want to dinner date me?

I'd love to. Thank you.

I'd love to also.

Call me.

Bruce!

Congratulations. Thank you. You have no idea how good it is to hear your voice.

I have so much to tell you the next time I see you, Bruce. You were right, okay?

And I didn't listen.

And things did get very, very weird. But I put everything back, I promise.

I'm pulling up now.

Oh, great.

Who the fuck

is this?

Hey, Barry.

No, where's... You're... No, you can't... You're

not... Batman?

What's wrong with you?

I told you, it's my metabolism, right? I can't get drunk.

I can't get drunk either.

Listen, listen.

No, no, no. What I'm trying to explain, as simply as I possibly can, I promise,

they were all Batman. They were all Bruce Wayne.

But each of them was a completely different person. So on the other line

Time line.

I'm the same guy.

Yeah, actually, pretty much. You're lovable, furry, loyal, motivated by

All right, listen.

Thank you for making it more simpler for me, Mr.

Simplemore. I'm doing my best.

Look, you're missing the larger premise here. In my timeline, when I... All

right, come on.

Hup, hup, Rosita. All right, come on.

I thought you were going to sleep on the couch.

Arthur, I live right here.

Harry.

I live right here.

Okay. Oh, hey.

More beer.

Go fast.

Oh, here!

Here.

I got this.

Arthur, this is Atlantean treasure.

You told him that.

Got enough money for the sailor shooter.

Yep. I'm a sailor. You're a sailor.
