Original subtitles

[male narrator] Banded together from remote galaxies

are thirteen of the most

sinister villains of all time.

[male narrator] The Legion of Doom

dedicated to a single objective

the conquest of the universe.

[male narrator] Only one group dares to challenge

this intergalactic threat.

The Super Friends!

[theme music]

[male narrator] The Justice League of America

versus The Legion of Doom!

This is the "Challenge of the Super Friends!"

[male narrator] Paris, France

where each day millions of people

travel on the Metropolitan subway.

[train chugging]

It sure is nice to take a vacation

in Paris as Hal Jordan.

No one would ever guess

that I'm actually Green Lantern.

[male narrator] Meanwhile in the subway switching center.

My control panel, it has shortened out!

The train number seven is out of control!

[train chugging intensifies]

Oh, no! They have switched to the wrong track!

And near the light from, on coming train.

Something's wrong. We're going too fast!

This looks like a job for Green Lantern.

I can't let these people see who I am.

I have to transport myself off the train.

[electrical whirring

I've only got seconds to stop the trains before they collide.

[train chugging intensifies]

Great galaxies! It's Sinestro!

That's right, my green friend.

I hear there's some trouble in the subway.

Yes, and I'll see that you don't cause any more.

There's no time for quarrels.

A disaster needs preventing.

[intense music]

My power ring will handle it!

[electrical whirring]

Thank goodness, we are safe.

I've got other jobs to take care of, Green Lantern.

See you later!

I cannot believe it!

Was that the Sinestro of the Legion of Doom?

Yes, it was!

[male narrator] Later in Downtown Gotham city.

[suspense music]

Okay, Mort. Let her rip.

[electrical whirring]

There's millions here!

This will be our last job.

I'll make sure of that.

Batman!

You aren't catching us so easily.

[electrical whirring]

They're getting away, Batman.

Quick Robin! To the Batmobile.

[Toyman] That won't be necessary, Batman.

Holy foul play! It's the Toyman!

You got me wrong boy wonder.

I come to capture those no-good bank robbers.

I'll teach them to toy around with the Toyman.

[motorcycle vroom]

[suspense music]

[tires screeching]

[siren wailing]

Just give me call if you need me again.

I don't get it, Batman!

Neither do I, Robin. Neither do I!

[male narrator] Meanwhile in the sky above Metropolis.

[people screaming]

We snagged the building, and punctured the blimp!

The airship is dead ahead, Hawkman.

You take care of the passengers

I'll seal the leak.

[airplane whirring]

[air whistling]

I've got to stop the leaking gas.

[explosion]

[intense music]

Grodd! I don't believe it!

It's not a way to thank someone

who just saved your life.

Me take care of them.

Thanks for saving us, Bizarro.

Alright, Grodd. What's going on?

Nothing, Hawkman.

We're just tired of continually

fighting the Super Friends

and losing.

We're changed now.

The Legion of Doom to The Legion of Good!

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

I can't believe it, Super Friends.

Five minutes after the crown jewel's were

reported stolen to Scotland Yard.

The Legion of Doom turned in the crooks and the jewel.

It's hard to believe that after all these years of evil

the legion could ever worked for the side of justice.

But all the evidence seems to prove they're alright.

Something's coming in on the TroubAlert.

Super Friends.

I'm Likan of planet Santar.

Solar flares from a double sun are ravaging Santar.

Only you can help, before it is too late.

Santar is trillions of light years from Earth.

We'll have to leave immediately!

There's no need, Superman.

The Legion of Good is already on the way.

We'll take care of the Santar's emergency

and prove to you once and for all that we are good.

[evil laugh]

Now, fools!

We'll show them we're good, alright.

Good at conquering justice.

[evil laugh]

Exactly!

And we'll do it by traveling far into the future

where there aren't any Super Friends to bother us.

In the meantime, I'll leave a clue on planet Santar.

That will leave them on a wild riddle chains.

See you in the future!

[evil laugh]

[rocket whirring]

[male narrator] As the Riddler speeds off to planet Santar

the entire Hall of Doom

is hurled into the unknown future!

Thousands of years later

in the year 3984.

[suspense music]

Yerba, the Barlocks are attacking the city again!

Don't worry, Zemora.

The protective domes

have kept them out of Earth's cities for hundreds of years.

But if they get into our capital city

they could get control of the entire planet.

They won't.

They turned on the sun.

Run to the caves!

According to our sensors

the capital city of Earth is

just beyond those distant hills.

[mysterious music]

If this is what the people of Earth are like now

we should have little trouble taking over the planet.

[electrical whirring]

Take them into the caves!

You have come from the Dome City

to destroy us!

Now, we punish you!

[electrical whirring]

They seem to have great powers

but don't know how to use them too well.

I say, we get rid of them!

No, they're just what we need.

We're not from the Dome City.

We've come to attack it.

And if you help us, we can rule it together.

We will help you!

Good! Prepare your men.

The Earth will soon be ours!

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

I wonder how our newly changed Legion of Good is doing?

It's the TroubAlert!

Super Friends, I don't understand.

[Likan] Why haven't you come?

[Likan] You could have helped us, but now it's too late!

The Legion of Doom. We should have known better.

We got to get to Santar

and see if we can be of any help.

[male narrator] Light-years away at the planet Santar...

It's no use, Super Friends.

Our planet is finished.

If it weren't for the Legion of Doom

we could have saved Santar.

Look! There's the Hall of Doom now.

Better late than never, Super Friends.

Now, I've got a riddle for you.

We'll slip through your fingers

if you give us the room

so be very careful or you'll end up tombed.

[evil laugh]

Come on! They're not going to get away this time.

[explosion]

Great Hera! The Hall of Doom exploded!

No, Wonder Woman.

It was just an inflated decoy.

Oh, no!

Whatever kind of gas it was filled with

is breaking down our molecular structure.

There's nothing we can do.

In a few moments, our atoms will be scattered into space.

[male narrator] Meanwhile thousands of years in the future.

You know what to do.

I will take care of everything.

[alarm beeping]

The security alarm!

Someone's approaching the front entrance to the city.

So, Barlocks must be attacking again.

They're not Barlocks.

They're like us.

The Barlocks are attacking them.

Quick! Open the dome gate.

Hurry! Into the city.

- Close the gate. - It won't close!

The Barlocks are entering the city.

Halt, or we'll freeze you.

[electrical whirring]

[dramatic music]

Will take care of this.

[intense music]

Hurry! To the ruling chamber.

It's too late. He will capture us any minute.

Not if I can help it.

No thanks.

[Zemora] You tricked us.

We thought you needed help.

[Luthor] We did.

Help to get us into the city

so we could take it over.

Now, you'll have to play the game by our rules!

It's time we announced to the world they have

new leaders.

At last, the Legion of Doom has conquered the Earth!

[Wonder Woman] There's nothing we can do to

reverse the effects of Riddler's trap.

In a few seconds, our atoms will be

scattered throughout space like dust.

Wait a minute! There's still a chance.

If I can create a magnetic field

with my lightning energy

our atoms may be able to pull back together.

[air whistling]

- It's working! - We're solid again.

We've got to contact the Hall of Justice

and inform the others of Riddler's clue.

Wonder Woman to Hall of Justice.

[Batman] Go ahead, Wonder Woman.

We've been tricked by the Riddler.

He left us one of his clues.

I'll replay it for you.

We'll slip through your fingers if you give us the room

so be very careful or you'll end up in a tomb.

[evil laugh]

Slip through your fingers? End up in a tomb?

That's it!

What is it that slips through your fingers?

- Sand! - Right.

And where will you find a tomb in the sand?

Holy Pharaohs, of course! The pyramids of Egypt.

The Legion of Doom is probably there now. Come on!

Gold! Jewels!

Statues erected in our honor.

An entire planet at our feet

and all the comforts of the fortieth century.

[evil laugh]

And, no Super Friends!

I say it's not enough.

Why be satisfied with the Earth when

with the power at our disposal

we could rule the galaxy.

With the Barlocks under our command

we could conquer every planet within the Milky Way.

Why stop there?

Before long, we could control the entire universe!

I'll lead the first wave into Sector 13.

Good!

I'll take the second fleet

into the outer galaxy region.

[rocket whirring]

[male narrator] Meanwhile, back in the 20th century in the Egyptian desert.

[Robin] This is the last pyramid, Batman.

If we find nothing in this one

we must've deciphered the clue wrong.

This is the end of the line.

And not the sign of Riddler

or the Legion of Doom.

That's what you think, Superfools.

You figured out my clue perfectly.

Except for one thing.

You weren't careful enough and wound up in a tomb.

But not the Pharaoh's tomb. Your tomb!

He's trapped us

These walls must be a foot thick.

The Bat-mini-jack should do the trick.

It looks like, the Riddler was prepared for our escape.

He has left us another clue.

"You've escaped with you lives

"but to us you're long dead

"if you bet you can find us

we'll be a dollar ahead!"

Holy confusing, Batman!

- What does it mean? - It's simple, Robin.

Where would the Legion of Doom

have to be for the Super Friends

to be long dead?

In the future!

Right! And if we bet we can find them

they'll be a dollar ahead.

A dollar equals a hundred cents

short for a hundred centuries!

Of course, Batman!

The Legion of Doom has gone into the future.

10,000 years!

We've got to notify others at the Hall of Justice.

That's right, Superman.

According to Riddler's last clue

the Legion of Doom has traveled 10,000 years into the future.

Thanks, Batman.

We'll take care of it from here.

Let three of us can break the time barrier

and arrive in the future in the matter of seconds.

[male narrator Traveling at incredible speed

the Super Friends penetrate the time barrier...

...disappearing 10,000 years into the future.

[dramatic music]

It's incredible!

It looks like Earth's civilization is gone.

According to my telescopic vision

there are no life forms anywhere.

There maybe no life forms.

But there is something. Look!

[monster growling]

My super strength will stop this futuristic spider.

It's draining my... strength.

A blast of my power ring should handle it.

[electrical whirring

Great galaxies! It went right through it.

This web is... unbreakable!

And my power ring is useless on this ghostly matter.

We'd better do something fast.

Or we're liable to wind up ghostly matter ourselves.

[monsters growling]

[male narrator] Back in the year 3984

Luthor's attack fleet

approaches the ruling planet of Sector 13.

Whoever you are, we surrender.

Stop your attack.

Very well. Prepare to turn over your ruling seat.

We'll be landing any moment.

[male narrator] Meanwhile on the other end of the galaxy.

They're on the retreat. We've got them now!

[rocket whirring]

[suspense music]

Call off your attack.

Our planet is yours!

Awaits the city!

The outer region of the galaxy is secured, Luthor.

Excellent. We now control the entire galaxy!

[male narrator] Meanwhile Superman

Green Lantern and Flash

remain in great peril.

These creatures have drained my

molecular energy and I can't speed up

enough to cut loose.

We've only got one chance left.

If we can combine our powers

we may have enough energy to break free.

[monster growling]

Quick! I'll try my heat vision.

Focus your energy where I aim.

[electrical whirring]

The Legion of Doom tricked us.

They could be anywhere in the future.

[flash] It could take us ages to find them.

Great Scott! Books! We must be in a library.

The history of the earth from the year 2000 to 7000.

It looks like the Riddler's attempt

to throw us off has backfired on him.

According to this book

a group of strangers from the past

took over the planet in the year 3984.

That's the Legion of Doom, alright.

Now that we've pinpointed them

they're as good as caught.

[electrical buzzing]

[male narrator] Meanwhile back in the year 3984

the Legion of Doom's attack fleet regroups on the Earth.

We finally done it. No more Super Friends

and a galaxy at our fingertips!

As soon as we've refueled,

we'll conquer the entire universe!

[Superman] You will have to conquer us first, Luthor.

Super Friends!

It will be a pleasure to conquer you.

[electrical whirring]

Quick! Into the attack ships.

[rocket whirring]

A neutron torpedo will slow them down.

Whoosh

Two can play at this game, Sinestro.

[electrical whirring

It's no use.

Retreat!

Sorry, Luthor.

But once you've started a battle with the Super Friends

you've got to finish it!

Quick! Stop the Super Friends.

He's gone!

Looking for me?

You won't be causing any more trouble now.

Sorry to spoil your future plans, Luthor.

It's time to return the Earth to it's rightful rulers.

Thank you, Super Friends.

We'll see to it that the other planets of the galaxy

are returned to normal.

Good! And we'll see to it

that the Legion of Doom is returned to the 20th century.

Whoosh

[male narrator] Back in the present at the Hall of Justice...

It looks like the Legion of Doom

has finally created a proper future for themselves.

There's one thing I don't understand, Super Friends.

How could you have possibly found

us when we could have been anywhere in the future?

It was simple.

We found a history book that told us

exactly when you conquer the Earth.

In fact, we knew for a certain that we would capture you, too.

How could you have possibly known that?

Very easily.

Not only did this book tell us

the Legion of Doom took control in 3984

it also mentioned that they were captured

shortly afterwards by the Super Friends.
