Original subtitles

[male narrator] Banded together from remote galaxies

are 13 of the most

sinister villains of all time

the Legion of Doom.

Dedicated to a single objective

the conquest of the universe.

Only one group dares to challenge

this intergalactic threat.

The Super Friends!

[instrumental music]

The Justice League of America

versus The Legion of Doom!

This is

the "Challenge of the Super Friends."

[frog croaks]

[intense music]

[male narrator] Deep within the deadly unchartered regions of

the swamp, a frightening form

skulks amongst the equally frightening creatures.

[laughing]

There is that old witch again

prowling through the swamp.

Solomon Grundy not recognize her.

Not seen her in swamp before.

She must be a spy for the Justice League

searching for the Legion of Doom.

We shall soon find out.

The four of us will pay her a visit.

And give her a little taste of our own witchcraft.

[evil laugh]

[intense music]

[roaring]

Well, old hag.

What are you doing in this swamp?

Just making my way

like the others slithering beasts.

It won't do any good to lie to us.

We know the Super Friends

sent you to spy on the Hall of Doom.

Solomon Grundy take care of her.

Fools, you may think you're

the only evil ones in the swamp.

But you are not.

Release me, and I will see that

you have that greatest evil power of all time.

You don't really expect us to

believe a preposterous story like that.

Suit yourselves.

I doubt, you're capable of handling it anyway.

Wait! Maybe she speaks the truth.

Besides, what have we to lose?

No more than your lives.

[laughing]

Follow me!

We're here.

[dramatic music]

I never even knew this part of the swamp existed.

There's no time to waste.

Join hands.

[chanting in foreign language]

[lightning crashing]

What do you want, mortals?

They want power.

The power of evil!

I have such power, more than you could ever imagine.

But what have you to give me in return?

In return?

In exchange for the power of evil I am to give you

you must bring me an equivalent amount

of the power of good.

But we have nothing to give that's good.

Yes, we do!

We'll bring the Super Friends

to the swamp and get rid of them

in the same evil stroke.

So far you have failed to get rid of these Super Friends.

But bring them to me

and they will bother you no more.

Only then can you receive your power.

[laughing]

Come, we gotta get back to the Hall of Doom

and set our first super trap.

[laughing]

[male narrator] Later at the Hall of Justice...

Africa clear. Europe clear. North America clear.

That's it.

Primary satellite scan indicates

no emergencies on any continent.

It's a rare thing when

the Super Friends get a moment of peace.

We better enjoy it while we can.

[alarm beeps]

Holy TroubAlerts! I think we spoke too soon.

Super Friends, I'm trapped in the swamp.

Coordinates, 3-13-R, watch out for...

[Batman] Hawkman's in trouble! Quick, Robin, to the Batbuggy.

There's no sign of Hawkman anywhere, Batman.

Try the infrared bat scanner, Robin.

[Robin] Negative, Batman.

I don't see... Wait a minute. I think I spotted him.

Quick, Batman, through those trees.

[whirring]

Batman, Robin, help!

Hang on, Hawkman.

I'll have you free in a minute.

[swishing]

That's what you think, bat-fool!

It's you and your boy wonder who are trapped now.

Not if I can help it, Scarecrow.

You can't!

[laughing]

Holy reckless driving, Batman!

They're headed right for us!

Come on, Robin. We got to stop them.

[revving]

There! We got 'em now, Robin.

The remote control Batbuggy anchors will do the trick.

[Robin] It looks like the Scarecrow and Cheetah

bogged down on the bog.

Whatever your evil plans were, they've come to an end now.

Take another look, Batman.

[Scarecrow laughing]

Holy creeping vines! They're pulling us under.

[hissing]

[evil laugh]

Excellent, that sinister being

has embalmed Batman and Robin like specimens in a museum.

And each of his glass coffins

has been specially prepared

to hold its awaiting Super Friend.

And soon it will have next victim!

[evil laugh]

[male narrator] Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice...

Hawkman, you're alright?

Then, where are Batman and Robin?

I don't know. I haven't seen them all day.

But they went into swamp to help you!

The swamp? I have been in the

desert helping the Air Force with their parachute tests.

It must've been a trap.

We've got to get to the swamp and find Batman and Robin.

I'll go with Green Lantern.

[instrumental music]

[green Lantern] Those must be the Batbuggy's tire tracks. Come on!

Hawkman, look, the Batbuggy.

Batman and Robin must be around here somewhere.

That's right, Hawkman.

But you'll never find them.

If it's a power ring fight you're looking for, Sinestro

it'll be a pleasure.

[clanking]

You're outmatched, Sinestro.

Now, tell us where Batman and Robin are.

You'll have to do more than stop me, Green Lantern.

You'll have to stop Solomon Grundy, too.

[evil laugh]

Quick, Green Lantern, grab that tree branch.

Perhaps, now, you'll tell us where Batman and Robin are.

You'll find out soon enough, Superfools.

I can't... pull free.

[hissing]

Four down and seven to go!

You are doing very well, Legion of Doom.

Very well, indeed!

[evil laugh]

Our evil friend is quite satisfied.

And, once we give him all the Super Friends

he should be making us

quite satisfied, too.

[male narrator] Later at the Hall of Justice...

Wonder Woman calling Green Lantern.

It's no use.

That's Green Lantern's emergency frequency.

[flash] It's coming from the same area of the swamp.

I'll go to the swamp and check it out.

If I don't report back by midnight

I want you all to converge on the swamp in full force.

[instrumental music]

Soon, more Super Friends be lured into swamp.

Right, Bizarro.

They'll be homing in on Green Lantern's

TroubAlert beeper any moment now.

My super hearing's picking up Green Lantern's beeper alert.

Hawkman and the others

have got to be around here somewhere.

[Bizarro] You right, Superman!

Me fix you before you find them.

[shatters]

That's one out, Bizarro.

And here come the other two.

Come on, Bizarro, this way!

It's the end of the line, Luthor.

That's right, Superman. The end of your line.

I'm getting weaker.

There must be Kryptonite under the swamp.

Goodbye, Superman!

At long last, it seems the Man of Steel

has become a mere man of mud.

[hissing]

It's midnight and Superman hasn't reported in yet.

Right, we'll cover the south end of the swamp.

Black Vulcan, Samurai, you cover the north end.

I'll fly over the perimeter and we'll all meet in the middle.

[male narrator] Moments later

as the remaining Super Friends converge on the deadly swamp

the sinister power from below

continues to suck them down to their strange fate

in the depths of the fathomless bog.

Great Hera!

Excellent!

The Super Friends will now rest peacefully for eternity.

[evil laugh]

[Scarecrow] It's incredible!

The Super Friends are gone for good.

Without their resistance

the world will soon be on its knees

before the Legion of Doom.

We'll be stronger than ever once

that evil being gives us the power he promised.

Let's go!

[dramatic music]

You there, old witch!

It's time to conjure up your evil friend again.

We hold up our end bargain, now him, deliver promise.

Very well.

Evil one who haunts the night

shed on us your frightening lights.

[lightning crashing]

You've done well, Legion of Doom.

And in return for the power of good you have given to me

I shall give you that which I promised.

You now possess the evil power of eternity.

Nothing's happened. I don't feel any difference.

You've tricked us.

Before you cast your doubts, take another look!

[intense music]

You now possess the power to command the dead.

[evil laugh]

New power could be better.

We'll test out our new army of living dead

by taking over the government plutonium plant

at the edge of the swamp.

[male narrator] Later at the top security federal plutonium plant...

Peterson, quick! Sound the alarm.

[alarm blaring]

Halt, or we'll be forced to fire the stun rays.

- They are alive! - Let's get out of here.

Those zombies are headed for the plutonium reactor.

Activate the electric field.

[buzzing]

[crackling]

It's incredible!

These zombies can penetrate the toughest defenses.

The plutonium plant is at our mercy.

Without increased strength

there's no reason why the Legion of Doom

should be second to anyone.

Of course.

Why didn't I think of it before?

We'll return to the swamp and capture the Evil Being

then we can possess all of its power.

This radiation proof energy container should hold him.

What do you want?

We want you to bring the Evil Being back.

We have surprise for him!

He's given you what you wanted.

Now, go away!

[Luthor] Bring the evil one to us

or you'll wind up a zombie like the others.

Alright, but you'll be sorry.

Power of darkness, dear in fear

these evil seekers insist you appear.

[lightning crashing]

Your reasons for seeking me had better be worthy, mortals.

They're quite worthy.

We simply want more power.

Now, we got it!

You're fooling around with powers beyond your control.

You better release me!

I think not, evil one. You're in our control, now.

[male narrator] Later at the Hall of Doom...

Now, that we control the power of this evil being

there's nothing we can't achieve.

I don't think so.

You thought you could simply put me in a container

and use me at your whim.

[evil laugh]

Well, you made a terrible mistake

and it will be your last!

[evil laugh]

What can we do?

There's no telling what evil

that sinister head will unleash on us.

Nonsense! There's never been a threat

the Legion of Doom couldn't handle.

It's the intruder alarm!

Someone is approaching the Hall of Doom.

[Scarecrow] It's the zombies! That evil being has turned them after us.

My phase-on disintegrator will take care of them.

[zapping]

Your disintegrator hasn't even scratched them.

[slamming]

It penetrated the outer hull.

Seal the corridors!

[door slamming]

They'll never reach us now!

Wait a minute. Listen!

[metal creaking]

They've broken through!

Quick, to the escape exits.

[intense music]

This way!

They're gaining on us.

We're finished.

No, we've still got a chance.

We'll release the Super Friends

and let the zombies go after them.

There they are!

It's a shame we have to spoil their eternal rest.

Quick! The zombies are right behind us.

Open up the cases and let's get out of here.

What-what happened?

The Legion of Doom lured us into the swamp

and somehow trapped us in these cases.

- But how did we get out? - I don't know, Wonder Woman.

But it seems we have

more important things to worry about. Look!

[Robin] Holy night stalkers! Those zombies are after us.

My power ring will stop them.

[buzzing]

Nice work, Green Lantern.

Wait a minute. Look!

Super Friends, this way!

There's only one way to stop the living dead.

Lure them back into the depths of the swam

and tie them to dead trees with dead vines.

Come on. There's little time.

[intense music]

[male narrator] Following the strange ritual

the Super Friends lure the zombies

into the heart of mysterious swamp.

Lashing them securely to the dead tree trunks.

Where they dissolve back

into the mire from which they came.

That takes care of last of the zombies.

Now, it's time to take care of the Legion of Doom.

[male narrator] Meanwhile at the government plutonium plant...

There's little time, Sinestro.

We've gotta refuel the Hall of Doom's main tanks

with the plutonium.

Batman, the Legion of Doom is stealing

the nuclear fuel from the government plant.

Notify the others, Robin, we've got to stop them.

[crashing]

What's wrong? We're not moving.

We've crashed back into the swamp.

A filling place for the end of the Legion of Doom.

Just a moment, Super Friends.

Not long ago

I saved your skins

and performed a service for the side of good.

Now, I must be fair

and balance the score for evil.

[laughing]

They've tricked us again.

There seems to be no way to predict

what those with evil minds will do.

Except for one thing, which is easy to predict.

Their constant fight against justice and the Super Friends.
