Original subtitles

Don't let all this kiddie stuff fool you.

Toyman's not playing around.

I learned that the hard way.

A psychiatrist could make a whole career out of this guy.

Just be careful.

[BEEPING]

TOYMAN: Superman.

I've been expecting you and your masked friend too.

Wanna play?

You're right about the psychiatrist.

Are you making fun of me?

That's not very nice.

[ROBOT GROWLS]

[YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

Hey, who's been playing with my toys?

Huh?

Superman?

[GROANING]

Superman?

GREEN ARROW: So Central City Fairground, huh?

FLASH: You sure you want in?

Even I haven't been able to stop this guy.

Maybe it's gonna take a little more than just speed.

Oh, you think you can do better, huh?

Fine, but don't get in my way.

Slowpoke.

How much trouble could some mirror guy be, anyway?

What?

I hate it when they bunch up in the back like this, don't you?

Hello, Flash. You found me. Congratulations.

You're Mirror Master.

This is a hall of mirrors. Anyone with the IQ of a fly could find you.

That's what I was counting on.

- He's going from mirror to mirror. - He gets in through his reflection.

- There's no way to stop him. - Wanna bet?

[GRUNTS]

Take away his reflection, he's got no place to go.

[AIR HISSING]

- Do you hear something? - What, you mean like a thank you, maybe?

No, I mean this.

I don't know what kind of gas it is, but....

[COUGHING]

GREEN ARROW: Flash.

GREEN ARROW: And then he was gone.

I woke up about an hour later and....

You don't seem surprised.

Almost the identical thing happened to Superman and me.

They got Superman too? What's going on?

GREEN LANTERN: That's something I'd like to know as well.

Two of the Justice League's most powerful members, gone without a trace.

How could that happen?

Wait a minute, you're not blaming us for this, are you?

It's nobody's fault. Hawkman's missing too.

Almost a week now.

So one by one, they're taking us.

Whoever they are.

But they didn't take Green Arrow or me.

They sure had the opportunity. We were both out cold.

- Yes, but.... - But what?

Superman, Flash and Hawkman all have superpowers.

But you and Batman, well--

- We're chopped liver, isn't it? J'ONN: No, but--

GREEN ARROW: If you don't think we can hold our own with any of you, I--

We need to get back to Central City.

- What for? - To see if we can dig up any other clues.

Yeah, we should. That's a great idea.

- I'll get my jet. GREEN LANTERN: No need.

I feel like a kid in the back seat of his parents' SUV.

Just don't ask me if we're there yet.

I don't sense anyone down there, but I'll scout it out, just in case.

And we'll head over to the hall of mirrors.

[SCURRYING]

BATMAN: It's a common sleeping gas...

...but the valves were activated by a radio signal.

Very sophisticated.

[EXPLOSION]

[J'ONN GROANING]

What are those things?

Don't know. But they're definitely gonna be a problem.

[SCREAMS]

Arrow!

Where are they?

Gone, both of them.

Too far.

[GROANS]

GREEN ARROW [OVER SPEAKER]: Batman. - Huh! Yeah?

- Got anything yet? - No.

It feels like I've been going over this remote relay for days.

You have.

There must be something wrong with me. I can barely keep my eyes open.

This thing's not like anything I've ever seen before.

- How are you doing? - Going around in circles.

Superman and Flash might not have been our fault...

...but Lantern and Martian?

We should've seen that coming.

Stop beating yourself up, Oliver.

They never had a problem with us being in the league. I was the one.

Always afraid I wouldn't be able to keep up with them.

Ever feel that way?

Bruce?

[BRUCE SNORING OVER SPEAKER]

I know, I can be a real bore sometimes.

Over and out.

[SCREAMING]

It's going to be okay. I--

J'ONN: Hugo Strange.

Hugo Strange.

Strange? What does he have to do with this?

Hugo Strange.

What about him?

Bruce. Are you okay?

What are you doing here? You're not in this.

Bruce?

- No. You're not. DICK: Bruce.

Sorry, but you were making noise.

I must've drifted off for a second.

What are you doing up so late?

I couldn't sleep. I had a nightmare too, sort of.

Kept hearing the Martian's voice.

What?

BATMAN: He was trying to contact us. I'm sure of it.

Why didn't I hear him?

Because the mind is more receptive during sleep. There are fewer distractions.

- That's never bothered the Martian before. - Unless he's getting weaker.

But what does Hugo Strange have to do with this?

He's been locked up, hasn't he?

ROBIN: At this place, you never know.

BATMAN: Hello, Hugo.

Aren't you wondering why I'm here?

Awful quiet, isn't he?

Usually, you can't shut him up.

It's not him.

You're a lot heavier than Hugo, aren't you?

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS]

ROBIN: I got you.

Better stay back. I don't wanna take any chances with this thing.

Don't. I need to see something.

Radio controlled, like the gas canister back at the hall of mirrors.

Except this one's still receiving a signal we can trace.

What is it? I've never seen anything like this before.

BATMAN: Because it's alien.

The Joining's back.

GREEN ARROW: You'd think after that last time, The Joining would steer clear...

- ...of Earth. - Maybe they were testing us before.

The Batmobile is triangulating the robot's signal.

It should automatically pinpoint the exact location.

- Got it. - Great.

Now, if you could just figure out how to get some legroom back here.

Air raid shelter?

BATMAN: It goes back a long time, to a war.

People were worried about air attacks.

Like they don't worry now?

BATMAN: No, wait.

You may wanna save that for later.

What is that?

Force field.

ROBIN: Hey!

STRANGE: You never disappoint me, Batman.

I built this trap mostly for you.

That's how sure I was you'd find me.

- Great. - What was it, Batman?

My robot duplicate?

Of course, I should've built an autodestruct switch.

But there's never enough time in the day, is there?

I told The Joining you were the cleverest of them all.

But all they care about are the super-powered ones.

What made you go over to their side?

They have so much to offer someone like me.

Remember the first time The Joining came?

Oh, it was bedlam.

Destruction everywhere.

I could hear it all from my room.

Arkham's brave attendants...

...left me and my fellow inmates to our own devices.

I was one of the lucky ones.

All I wanted to do was get away.

But then fate intervened.

[CRASHING]

I knew the alien vehicle would have all sorts of fascinating technology.

I took as much of The Joining's equipment as I could.

Including their vehicle's central communicator.

Then I came to this place.

I combined their equipment...

...to make a radio transmitter that could contact them.

And then I made them my offer.

If they supplied me with their technology...

...I would neutralize the Justice League.

In return, The Joining would give me something...

...more valuable than even money or power:

The vast knowledge of the universe.

- Where are they? - Your friends?

Voil?.

BATMAN: My dream.

What are you doing to them?

You'll see soon enough.

My, my. Look what my associate found in your belt, Batman.

A mini explosive.

Set to go off in three minutes.

I knew you were up to something.

You made it just a little too easy for me to catch you.

There had to be some sort of high-tech surprise.

Actually, it's rather low-tech.

[COUGHING]

Stop him!

ROBIN: What do you think those tubes are for?

Don't know.

Then how about we cut them loose?

You okay?

Something doesn't feel right.

Well, you better get over it.

Because I have a feeling we're gonna be needing you.

[GRUNTING]

My powers, they're gone.

The androids have taken our powers.

What do we do now?

Well, any ideas, guys?

Let's start with this.

Kind of slow, aren't they?

J'ONN: They're still learning.

BATMAN: Let's go.

Still faster than Hawkman.

Hey!

J'ONN: I'll bet this was our ride in.

BATMAN: Now it's our ride out.

[GRUNTING]

That felt different.

We're out of here.

You know how to fly this?

Wayne Tech has five of these from the invasion.

The spoils of war.

[CRASHING]

Company's coming.

We need a place to regroup where they can't find us.

- Can't they trace this vehicle? - I've shut off tracking devices.

But my android can still find us by reading our minds.

Not if we don't know where we're going.

Everyone, shut your eyes.

No peeking.

What about you?

My cowl's lined with electronics.

The only thing he'll read is static.

You can look now. I've activated an electronic grid to jam their mind reading.

They're already here.

Batgirl, hold your fire.

You knew she was here?

I asked her to be on stand by, just in case.

Okay, so I guess this is where I ask:

"Have I missed anything?"

Whoa. Lots.

THE JOINING: Even without their powers, the Justice League proved problematic...

...especially the one called Batman.

I told you he was the biggest threat.

We have to deal with them quickly.

You have to.

I did my part helping you steal their powers.

Now do yours by giving me the knowledge of the universe.

So be it.

STRANGE: Magnificent.

THE JOINING: Scour the city, find the League.

We cannot let them disrupt our mission.

As long as they remain alive, they're a danger.

A kryptonite ray.

This one fires yellow powder.

Well, what gives, partner?

You've prepared weapons to use against us.

Only as a precautionary measure.

Blame it on me, guys.

I went temporarily renegade the last time we worked together.

This might've saved a lot of time and trouble.

I can't even feel it.

Your android will.

I figure since they have your powers, they should have your weaknesses too.

BATGIRL: You better be ready to use those...

...because I don't think there's gonna be any time for target practice.

WOMAN: And no one knows why the Justice League is attacking Gotham.

They've already covered half the city looking for us.

These comlinks will allow us to communicate anywhere in Gotham...

...and these tracking devices can pick up each of your power's energy signatures.

Ready to jet.

All right. Here's where we split up.

If we're gonna get back your powers, we have to capture each android intact.

We'll distract them while you attack. You'll only get one shot, so make it count.

Can't this buggy go any faster?

I think they'll find us before we find them.

Looking for someone?

FLASH: Whoa.

They're improving.

This will change the complexion.

Okay, so now, how do we get our powers back?

You have no idea, do you?

I'm working on it.

You're not gonna let me get away with that, are you?

Droids. Not the sharpest tools in the shed.

Superman, we found someone we'd like you to meet.

As in now.

I got sunshine wrapped up. What about you?

This one's gonna be tricky.

I'll calm him down.

If that yellow washes off, he's back in business.

GREEN ARROW: I got him covered.

How's yours, Hawkman?

A little on the crispy side, but still in one piece.

They're stronger than we think.

Where'd he go?

- He's got my invisible power. - You got so many, it's hard to keep track.

Arrow.

Sorry I have to use this.

[GRUNTING]

What?

Batman, I think the chest is a weak spot. It breaks through to their energy source.

Bats, give me a hand.

And I'm back, Jack.

Everyone, the chest is their Achille's Heel.

GREEN LANTERN: Sorry, pal.

Your secret's out.

You read my mind.

Happy landings.

BATGIRL: Hey, robo-rip-off.

Time to return what you've borrowed.

Now we finish this.

Looks like Hugo got his wish.

Absorbing all that knowledge has overloaded his cerebral cortex.

If that's the shortcut to total knowledge, I'll stick with middle school.

We took care of The Joining and Strange took care of himself.

Game over.

Not over.

The superdroids were just the advance force.

The real invasion is about to begin.

The Joining invasion ship is on its way to Earth.

Look like we're the greeting committee.

I'm patching in to the League's satellite to monitor the fight.

- So, what do we do? - Make popcorn?

Think they've spotted us yet?

I'd say yes.

Kryptonite and yellow energy.

They came prepared.

There's too many. They're getting past.

Hey, where'd Hawkman go?

- It's gonna be a street fight. - My turf.

- What are you gonna do? - Just watch me, kid.

Come on.

Fire when ready.

That mothership is endless.

The attack bots never stop.

I should get out there.

Wait. Strange was communicating with The Joining through this system.

It has to connect with the mothership.

If we had the right code, we could shut down the invasion from here.

But who knows what the code could be?

BATMAN: He does.

You're right.

If Strange has all the knowledge of the universe...

...he knows how to defeat The Joining.

J'ONN: Batgirl.

I need you to set up the signal. Now.

Me? But I'm still trying to figure out the remote on my TV.

Not so big and bad now.

Uh-oh. Extreme makeover.

Hey, how come I know how to do this?

I'm in your mind, relaying instructions from Strange.

Whoa. We need to talk personal boundaries after this.

I'm sending you the last of the code.

My typing teacher should see me now.

Upload now.

BATGIRL: Cleanup on Aisle 1.

So much for The Joining.

Now The Melting.

No sign of any other ships in our star system.

Earth is safe again.

While Hugo Strange becomes Arkham's most peaceful patient.

Even with our powers, we couldn't have done this without you.

Well, some of us need powers and some of us don't.

Man, we've got the coolest clubhouse.

BATMAN: We?

Yeah, Junior Justice League, Teen Division.

Nice try.
