No time for niceties.

Way to be stealthy, Luther.

The moment I shut down the grid,

it sent a silent alarm.

They're already on their way here.

Dibs.

The quantum trigger.

Now we have a chance.

Run.

That's not going

to slow them down for long.

That's not gonna slow them down at all.

What are you waiting for?

Hurry.

It's time to get serious, Lex.

No. We can make it together.

We can do this.

Get your shiny bald head out of here.

It's hurting my eyes.

What can I say?

Okay, okay.

I'm down to my Last Joke, anyway.

But this one will kill you.

It won't be in vain, old friend.

ULTRAMAN:

Luthor.

You think you can hide

from my ultra-vision?

You're gonna pay

for what you've done, mate.

-That's a promise.

-I've gotta a promise of my own.

I'm going to finish the Job

the Jester started.

But not Just yet.

J u s t i c e L e a g u e

The work would go a lot faster

if l were up there with you, guys.

Patience. I'm almost ready for you.

How much is all this costing, Bruce?

I don't like to think about it.

All right, Flash. Beginning test run.

l don't know, Batman.

This is pretty radical.

You're absolutely sure it works?

Pretty sure.

Pretty sure? That isn't--

--good enough.

TeIeporter's online.

Are you crazy?

Is he crazy?

How could he use that thing on me

if he wasn't sure?

-He was Joking.

-Yeah, how can you tell?

You really think he would risk your life

if he wasn't sure?

Well, maybe.

I mean, I don't think he likes me

very much.

I don't think he likes anyone very much.

Good morning.

Would you be kind enough to tell me where

I could find the nearest police station?

Excuse me, it's very important that I--

Yeah, yeah. Cool your Jets.

This is a police station.

Everything's important he--

Luthor.

No need to make a scene.

I want you to contact

the Justice League for me.

Or else?

Oh, I don't know.

I'll destroy the world?

Is that sufficient?

Superman. Go ahead.

BATMAN:

We've got a problem.

One of yours.

It's okay. We'll take it from here.

Oh, and they call me The Flash.

-What do you think you're doing?

-I've come to talk.

As you can see, I'm not armed.

You're going to find what I have to say

very difficult to believe.

You're from a parallel Earth.

How could you possibly know that?

Your internal organs are reversed,

your heart is on the wrong side.

It could be a trick.

Could be.

But our Luthor's still in his cell

on Stryker's Island.

And now that we've clarified the matter

of my evil twin...

...I've got quite a story to tell you.

Pants.

Oh.

My world is similar to yours in many ways

but very different in others.

Oh, wait, wait, don't tell me.

On your world,

you're the leader of the Justice League.

As a matter of fact, I was.

Past tense.

I'm not Just the Leader

of my world's Justice League.

I'm its only surviving member.

We were systematically destroyed

by a group of superpowered beings...

...known as the Crime Syndicate.

They've run rampant for years,

doing whatever they pleased.

They rule through fear...

...occasionally turning their powers

against the populace, Just to remind us.

In the hope of maintaining

some minimal order...

...the authorities simply pretend

they aren't there.

But increasingly,

they refuse to be ignored.

The Syndicate

has completely intimidated civil authority.

The police won't arrest them...

...and prosecutors

wouldn't press charges if they did.

The only thing keeping them from

completely overthrowing the government...

...is the threat of a nuclear response.

You people are my world's last hope.

We have to discuss this.

Please wait out here.

-I don't trust him.

-There's a surprise.

Maybe he's on the up and up.

You said yourself, he's not our Luthor.

Still, never met a Luthor I liked.

I've read his mind, he's telling the truth.

Regardless, we have a responsibility...

...to the millions of people

being oppressed on his world.

For all my power, when it comes down to it,

I'm a beat cop.

There are rules. Another dimension

may be out of our Jurisdiction.

I can't believe we're having this discussion.

Of course we're going to help.

She's right. That's what we do.

-Not this time.

-Why not?

We've got too much on our plate

right here.

We haven't even finished constructing

our new headquarters.

Our first responsibility

is to protect the Earth.

That's right. Our Earth.

We don't have enough manpower

to even do that properly.

Fair enough.

But we're talking about millions of people.

We can't Just turn our backs.

We have to go.

All right, Luthor, we'll help.

But we need a plan.

I have one, of course.

What's so fascinating?

Luthor has solved

the decoherence problem.

Darling, unless there's money involved,

you're still boring me.

Parallel Earths.

Luthor is not only proven they exist...

...he's figured out

how to travel between them.

Any sign of the quantum trigger?

We've searched the entire complex.

If it was here, it's not now.

Right.

Download all these records

into my personal computer.

The rest of you, strip this place

of anything useful, then destroy it.

This could be disorienting,

but there are no other side effects that--

What the hell?

We're compromised.

What tipped you off?

I don't have time for this.

I need that data.

Take them down.

That will be enough of that.

-That's what I call tuning somebody up.

WOMAN:
Excuse me.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Hera.

I've played this game before.

You don't wanna fight me.

You wanna help me.

I don't wanna fight you, I want....

Hey, this is like the Jedi mind trick.

This is not like the Jedi mind trick.

This is not like the Jedi mind trick.

Sorry.

J'ONN J'ONZZ:

Stop that.

We've got to retreat.

Why? We're winning.

Superwoman's called in the cavalry...

...and if it's who I think it is,

we're not prepared.

Don't make us guess.

What are we in for?

At least three Made Men,

almost as tough as Superwoman.

-Made Men?

-Later.

I don't have time to explain.

Follow me.

FLASH:

Oh, crap.

GREEN LANTERN:

I've got you.

Heads up.

More trouble.

Get off my plane.

Is that one of us in Owlman's plane?

Two of us. Wonder Woman swiped it.

Then there may be a way out of this.

Swing around for me.

Stay on top of him. The plane is mine.

Where is it? What are you looking for?

Chameleon circuit.

Owlman used to drive me crazy--

Found it. What's it do?

Lantern, we're cloaked right above you.

Hold fire, our ride's here.

-Hang on.

-Whoa!

Ooh!

Strafe the skies.

Well, that's fried.

It doesn't matter, we're still cloaked.

WONDER WOMAN:
And we've lost them.

At least for the moment.

So, genius, where to now?

JOHNNY QUICK:

Yeah, handed them a right thumping...

-...I heard, let the blinking side down a bit.

ULTRAMAN:
Come to order.

First business.

We've gotta decide

who we're calling up to replace J'arkus.

God rest his soul.

There's no managerial talent

in that organization.

We should dissolve them

and spilt up his territory.

Right, seems to me you've already helped
