The Human Flame

"The World Needs You Too Lois"

(Zack Snyder's Justice League)

Lois Lane :

Who is it?

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

Martha.

Lois Lane :

Hi.

[softly] 

Hi.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

I went to The Daily Planet to 

finally pick up Clark’s things. 

[chuckles] 

I don’t know why, nowhere 

to put them now --

I lost The Farm. 

I’d been behind on the 

payments for a while. 

Truth is, The House is too big for me 

to live in by myself anyway.

Lois Lane :

Well, you know you’re welcome to stay here 

any time for as long as you need.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

Thank You, Lois. That’s very kind. 

But I’ve found a little place that 

suits me just fine, right by the diner. 

I’m not here for help. I’m here because 

when I saw Mr. Perry, he told me 

that you haven’t been to work 

since Clark died.

Lois Lane :

[sighs softly]

I can’t.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

The Whole World 

is mourning. [sighs]

Grieving over a symbol. Everywhere I go, 

everywhere I look, I see that “S.”

 

I hear What People Say. They talk

 like they knew him. 

But they didn’t know Clark. And I can’t stop them 

and look at them and tell them 

how proud I am of My Son. 

You’re the only one who knows. 

Who feels What I Do. 

Burdened by A Secret 

on top of Grief. 

I came all this way, because I wanted… 

because I wanted to see you. 

Tell you… I understand.

Lois Lane :

I… will never love anybody 

the way that I love your son. 

And I just miss him. 

I miss him so much.

[Lois sniffles]

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

So do I, sweetheart.

[sighs]

Lois Lane :

Martha, you know if there’s 

anything you need, I’m here.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

There is something 

you can do for me, honey. 

Come back to The Living.

[door opens]

[suspenseful music plays]

Martian Manhunter :

The World needs you, too, Lois.

Dark Fruit

Ship :

Welcome. Analysis reveals 

Ship operating at 

37% efficiency. 

Would you like to assume 

Command? 

Luthor :

Yes, I would. 

Yes, I would. 

Ship :

Very well. Let's begin. 

The Kryptonian archive contains knowledge 

from 100,000 different worlds. 

Luthor :

Good. Teach me. 

Ship :

Alexander Luthor, 

your security override 

has been accepted. 

Genesis Chamber ready 

to analyse genetic sample. 

Acknowledging presence 

of genetic material. 

Analysing. 

I've identified the host 

as General Zod of Kandor. 

Acknowledging presence 

of foreign genetic material. 

Analysing. 

Luthor :

You flew too close to The Sun. 

Now look at you. 

Ship :

Advising. Action forbidden. 

It has been decreed 

by The Council of Krypton 

that none will ever again 

give life to a deformity 

so hateful to sight and memory. 

The Desecration without Name. 

Luthor :

And where is 

The Council of Krypton? 

Ship :

Destroyed, sir. 

Luthor :

Then proceed. 

Ship :

Very well. 

Preparing chrysalis and 

commencing metamorphosis. 

"And so we are left to wonder if Superman was aware of the threat and did nothing, was he then complicit in the Capitol tragedy?" 

Perry White :

Still no Kent? 

"His disappearance raises questions." 

No. 

"There are still so many unanswered questions. 

Chief among them, whether Superman was involved in the planning of this attack. 

I mean, here's an individual 

who has unlimited Power, 

yet did nothing to stop the bomb 

just a few feet away from him. 

It just doesn't add up for investigators. 

Burn him, burn him, burn him. 

Burn him, burn him, burn him. 

For 20 American, he didn't see you. 

Same for me. 

Now one FBI official familiar with this case 

told me they found quote, 

"A jackpot of bomb materials 

inside Keefe's apartment. " 

What they need to determine now 

is whether he had any help 

in the planning and execution 

of the bomb. 

And they haven't ruled out the idea that Superman was a co-conspirator. 

Now, my sources are telling me they are getting a barrage of anonymous and credible tips with all roads in this investigation leading to the Kryptonian visitor. 

Gotham Cop :

All right, Lois. 

You gotta go. 

Lois Lane :

He didn't know he was gonna die. 

He just bought groceries. 

The Martian Manhunter :

The Wheelchair and The Bullet 

from The Desert were made 

from the same metal. 

Lois Lane :

I know. The Desert. The Hearing. 

Everywhere Superman goes, 

Luthor wants Death. 

The Martian Manhunter 

But, Luthor goes through 

all of that Trouble... 

Creates A Bomb out of 

A Wheelchair, 

and then alters it to 

reduce The Blast? 

Lois Lane :

What do you mean...? 

The Martian Manhunter 

The inside of The Chair 

was lined with Lead.

 

Lois Lane :

….You couldn't stop it;

You couldn't see it. 

On a Mountaintop :

Johnathan Kent's Ghost :

Something, isn't it? 

We Men of Kansas live on a pancake, 

so we come to The Mountains. 

All downhill from here, 

down to the floodplain. 

Farm at The Bottom of The World. 

I remember one season 

The Water came bad. 

I couldn't have been 12. 

Dad handed out the shovels 

and we went at it all night. 

We worked till, I think, I fainted. 

But we managed to Stop The Water. 

We Saved The Farm. 

Your grandma baked me a cake. 

Said I was A Hero. 

Later that day we found out 

we blocked The Water all right. 

We sent it upstream. 

The whole Lang farm 

washed away. 

While I ate My Hero Cake, 

their horses were drowning. 

I used to hear them 

wailing in my sleep. 

Clark :

Did the nightmares ever stop? 

Johnathan Kent's Ghost :

Yeah. When I met 

Your Mother. 

She gave me Faith that 

There's Good in This World. 

She was My World. 

I miss you, son. 

Clark :

I miss you too, Dad. 

•••••••

Alfred :

You know you can't win this. 

It's suicide. 

Bruce Wayne :

I'm older now than 

My Father ever was. 

This may be the only 

thing I do that matters. 

Alfred :

20 years of fighting criminals 

in Gotham amounts to nothing? 

Bruce Wayne :

Criminals are like 

weeds, Alfred. 

Pull one up, another 

grows in its place. 

This is about The Future 

of The World. 

This is My Legacy. 

My Father sat me 

down right here. 

Told me what 

Wayne Manor 

was built on. 

Railroads, 

real estates, 

and oil. 

The first generation 

made their fortune 

trading with The French. 

Pelts and skins. 

They were Hunters. 

Alfred :

.....so falls The House of Wayne. 

"We gotta wait for more evidence, 

but The Question still remains, where is he? 

If Superman was not involved, if he's got nothing to hide, then why hasn 't he been seen since the day of this tragedy? You can't point a finger and... I'm not pointing anything, Warren. Look. Ten fingers, see? 

If there is going to be a criminal... 

The night is here. Excuse me. 

Don't I know... 

Luthor :

Plain Lo in the morning. 

Lola in slacks. 

Lois Lane. Mmm. 

Come see The View. 

Um... Mmm-mmm. 

Now The Secret to The Height 

is the building material. 

It's light metals which 

sway a bit in the wind. 

Hmm. And you know something 

about LexCorp metals, 

don't you, Miss Lane? 

Lois Lane :

I've proven What You've Done. 

Luthor :

Wow, you're feisty. 

Unfortunately, that will blow away. 

Like sand in The Desert. 

Lois Lane :

You're psychotic. 

Luthor :

That is a three-syllable word 

for any thought too big 

for little minds. 

Hmm. Next Category : Circles. 

Round and round and round they go 

to find Superman. 

Wrong category, boy. 

No, no, Triangles. 

Yes, Euclid's Triangle Inequality. 

The shortest distance 

between any two points 

is A Straight Path. 

And I believe the straightest path 

to Superman is a pretty little road... 

Mmm. Called Lois Lane. 

He shoves her off The Building --

Superman catches her -- of course.

Luthor :

You came back. You came back. 

Boy, do we have problems up here! 

The Problem of... of

Evil in The World. 

Uh, The Problem of 

Absolute Virtue. 

Superman :

I'll take you in without breaking you. 

Which is more than you deserve. 

Luthor :

The Problem of You on top 

of Everything Else.

You above all. Ah, because 

That's What God Is. 

Horus. Apollo. 

Jehovah. Kal-El. 

Clark Joseph Kent. 

See, What We call 

'God' depends upon 

Our Tribe, Clark-Joe. 

Because God is Tribal. 

God Takes Sides. 

No man in the sky intervened 

when I was a boy to deliver me 

from Daddy's fist and abominations. 

Mmm. I figured out way back, 

if God is all-powerful, 

He cannot be all-good. 

And if He is all-good, then 

He cannot be all-powerful. 

And neither can you be. 

They need to see 

the fraud you are. 

With their eyes. 

The blood on 

your hands. 

Superman :

What have you done? 

Luthor :

Hmm. And tonight, they will. Yes. 

Because you, My Friend, have a date. 

Hmm. Across the bay. 

Ripe Fruit, his hate. 

Two years growing. 

But it did not take much 

to push him over, actually. 

Little red notes, big bang. 

'You let your family die!' 

And now you will fly to him. 

And you will battle him. To The Death. 

Black and Blue. Fight Night! 

The greatest gladiator match 

in the history of the world. 

God versus Man. Day versus Night. 

Son of Krypton versus Bat of Gotham. 

Superman :

You think I'll fight him for you? 

Luthor :

Hmm, yes, I do. I think 

you will fight-fight-fight 

for that special lady in your life. 

Superman :

She's safe on The Ground. 

How about you? 

Luthor :

Close, but I am not talking about Lois. No.

Every boy's special lady is His Mother. 

Martha, Martha, Martha. Hmm. 

Why, the mother of a flying demon 

must be A Witch. 

The punishment for 

witches, what is that? 

That's right. Death by Fire. 

Mmm. 

Superman :

Where is she? 

Luthor :

I don't know! I would not 

let them tell me! 

Uh-uh-uh! If you kill me, Martha Dies. 

And if you fly away, mmm, 

Martha also Dies. 

But if you kill The Bat... Martha Lives.

 

There we go. There we go. 

Hmm. And now God bends to my will. 

Ooh, now the cameras are 

waiting at your ship. 

For the world to see the holes in the holy. 

Yes, The Almighty comes clean 

about how dirty he is when it counts. 

To save Martha, bring me 

The Head of The Bat. 

Ah. Mother of God, would 

you look at the time? 

When you came here, 

you had an hour. 

Now it's less.

The Human Flame

He would not fall in.

“Again, you don't need to know anything about them. Because the more you know about these guys, the lamer they become," laughed Morrison. "I'd rather have people pick up the book and see Libra for the first time done the way I want to see him done and the same goes for The Human Flame character.

"The reason I chose them was because Libra came from my favorite ever run of 'Justice League of America' and he's never been used again. He was a character who had stolen all the powers of the Justice League, but then couldn't handle it and ascended to some kind of screaming godhood where he became a million transparent body parts spread across the sky. So I thought if I was doing a thing about the New Gods, he'd be an interesting guy to bring back because I needed a masked mystery man to start a new recruitment drive for the Secret Society of Supervillains, because they become almost a terrorist sect. Under Libra's guidance, they start doing quite bad things, even to superheroes' wives and families, crossing the line. So there's that element to the story and I needed a masked guy, who people didn't really know that well. And I remembered Libra and the fact that he is connected to this ascending to godhood thing tied him in really quite nicely. What's really going on under the hood will be revealed later in the series.

"With The Human Flame, I wanted a Martian Manhunter villain, and I couldn't find a really good one. Then, looking through the old 'Showcase Presents' books, I discovered this stupid guy called Mike, who declared himself to be the Human Flame. And he wore a homemade costume with six nipples that shot flames. So I just thought this is a great way to start this book because the idea is that Libra gives all the villains a very simple choice, he says, 'Follow me and I'll give you your heart's desire.' And that's it. 

And some of the villains naturally say, 'Prove it.' So The Human Flame is one of the first to fall in with Libra and he says, 'If you can get revenge on my old enemy, who has had me stuck in jail for the last five years, I'll follow you anywhere.'

"I needed a small-scale dumb guy, who could make very big waves and open the book with a shock moment and the Human Flame fit the bill. Also the name is great, because he's the first of the villains to succumb to the Anti-Life Equation. And the idea of the Human Flame being 'extinguished' in this way was just too cool for me to let go of it.

"All of these guys were chosen for roles in the story, not because they are fan favorites. I just don't play that game. I wish I could. So I don't want readers to run back to their 'Who's Who' thinking that there will be some big revelation about these characters in there. All the stuff you need is in the book. And these two are just the tip of the iceberg, every DC villain appears in this book. There's a cosmic murder mystery running through the book and the really big bad doesn't turn up until the very last issue. There's a lot going on but I've noticed that no matter what I say about the content of 'Final Crisis,' there will still be online fans who'll swear blind they have no idea what the book is about so I'll leave it at that."

And while "Final Crisis" features two relatively obscure villains, Libra and Human Flame, Morrison is certainly no stranger to DCU's larger threats. In "All Star Superman," Morrison has Lex Luthor, in "Batman" he plays with Joker and in "Final Crisis," Darkseid is front center.

The three could be considered the Anti-Trinity for lack of a better term. "Yeah, pretty much. Now that you mention it, I've never actually thought about it that way," said Morrison. "Luthor is the meanest because he is the most fucked up with bitterness which at least is a recognizable human emotion. The Joker would do worse things to you, but you might just get away with it depending on how he felt that day. Actually, you probably wouldn't. He would do mucky, seedy things to you more than likely. And Darkseid, would just annihilate you and your family's free will and have you all slaving in the fire pits with no memory and no hope AND your entire environment ruined forever.

When asked to pick the biggest DCU baddie, Morrison said it depends what your fears are. "Luthor is intellectual evil and the Joker is perverse evil and Darkseid, he is just cosmic evil - evil as an unstoppable idea."

Going the other way, Morrison said only one supervillain would ever consider fighting the good fight. "Luthor, definitely Luthor. The Joker has no meaningful potential for good but Luthor actually has the potential. If he gets rid of Superman, he might be a better person," explained Morrison. "In 'All Star Superman,' though, I am basically saying that he wouldn't be a better person. That he just uses Superman as an excuse and a scapegoat for doing nothing. And I kind of like to use him that way. He talks a big game but if you actually give him a challenge, he's not up to it. Luthor needs validation and to be acknowledged as special, so I think there is the possibility of him helping his fellow men, as long as they put up a statue afterwards and rename the planet Lexor.

Morrison confirms "little clues" to "Final Crisis" are to be found in his megaseries "Seven Soldiers of Victory," but that they are not required reading to follow the 2008 event

"Luthor actually gets his big choice in 'Final Crisis' #3. Everybody gets a big choice in that issue. And after that, choice itself is eradicated by the Anti-Life Equation."

In August, "Final Crisis" will take a one-month break before returning in September with #4. There are a number of reasons for the pause both within the series and in terms of pacing, but the main motivating factor is the Fastest Man Alive. "The main reason for the break after #3 is, for reasons I won't go into here, The Flash winds up running a month into the future. He runs right into #4 at the end of #3. So you kind of get a snapshot of what has happened to the world in that month before finding out all the details in #4. The first three issues show things slowly going wrong, as the steady creep of evil advances so by the end of #3, the Evil Gods are actually manifesting in their full power to possess the planet Earth. And when #4 begins, a month has elapsed and suddenly we're in a whole new world, with very different rules. So that's why we made that break," said Morrison. "The series ramps up into new territory and transforms with #4 and what happens in #4 through #7 is going to have huge ramifications for the DCU in the aftermath."

The Flash, historically, has proved to be a vital cog in all the 'Crisis' events. In "Crisis on Infinite Earths," Barry Allen, the second Flash, died while stopping the plot of the Anti-Monitor to destroy the world. He returns, briefly, in "Infinite Crisis" to team up with the other Flashes - including Wally West, Bart Allen and Jay Garrick - to push Superboy-Prime into the Speedforce, eliminating that threat. Wally and Jay are active and Barry and Bart are dead, but both are rumored to make a return in "Final Crisis."

CBR News asked Morrison point blank, which Flash runs a month ahead into "Final Crisis" #4. He replied with a laugh, "It's not Jay Garrick! In #3 we have a race between the Flash and the Black Racer, who is, as you know, the New Gods' version of Death. So you go and figure it out."

** It should be noted that it was announced in the DC solicitations for July that Geoff Johns' "Rogues' Revenge" Flash miniseries will be tied directly to "Final Crisis. **

Morrison drew huge inspiration from Jack Kirby's New Gods stories, all of which are reprinted in the "Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus" collections

Morrison continued, "The break also allows us to do a few specials that fit neatly into the gap. I'm working on a Superman book called 'Superman Beyond,' which I'm hoping will have a 3D section. It's going to be the Superman strand of 'Final Crisis' because he's taken out of the picture in #3. And this is about where he goes and what he does and it has a team of alternate Earth Supermen: Captain Marvel from Earth 5, Ultraman, the evil Superman from the Anti-Matter Earth, Captain Atom from Earth 4 and the 'Nazi Superman', Overman, from Earth 10 in a kind of 'Jason and the Argonauts' voyage beyond the Multiverse.

Again, it's very tied-in to the main story in 'Final Crisis' and the secret origin of the Multiversal Monitors which plays into the whole thing in a big way. Partly it's to get some suspense and anticipation built up, get readers thinking, 'Christ, what's HAPPENED to the world between #3 and #4.' We're setting up the new look of the DCU for the next decade and the specials help to broaden the scope of the whole event.

"Geoff [Johns] and I are doing one of the specials together. You are going to see one particular character on the streets, on the ground during the occupation. Just to see what it's like for ordinary people during the evil gods takeover. So that's the one Geoff and I am going to be doing. But I can't tell you the character yet, although he is a current member of the Justice League."

And while he wouldn't give up THAT character's identity, Morrison did tease a few more of the book's usual suspects. "Everybody is in it. In addition to the big guys, the third issue has Captain Marvel Jr., Supergirl, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Green Arrow and Black Canary. It's got everyone. Pretty well from #4 to #7 is one big battle royale. I want to leave lots of room for the fight. There's about ten issues worth of fighting," said Morrison. "If you've got a favorite character, I am sure he's in it. Supergirl and Mary Marvel are in it. They have a big climatic battle to decide how femininity should be portrayed in superhero comics!

Which begged the question, isn't Wonder Woman in that fight? "Wonder Woman already has problems of her own by that point," laughed Morrison. "Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman get targeted by the New Gods pretty quickly. Those are the first big targets that the Gods have to bring down but you'll see Wonder Woman's confrontation with Mary in #3."

Manhunter

I tried to build Feelings in My Imagination 

like The Killer had so that I would know

WHY He Did What He Did,

because that would 

Help Me find him.

 

Well, it was worth a try....
I thought maybe perhaps having 
Five of The Six Pieces 

would at least give use some Power --

obviously, Guardian Technology 

doesn't work like that....

If only we had The Sixth Piece....

Yes.... Ch!-Ch!

....or a Sixth Piece....!!

He points directly at the missing section 

of the incompleted Key to Time --

What Do You See There?

A Gap?

Yes, that's right, a GAP!

...the exact shape of the missing piece --

We know what it looks like...

...we can make one.

Does The White House have any comment to make about a Classified Military Space-Shuttle,

which could be but hasn't yet

been used to bring those astronauts Home...?

Night in The City

Papers!

Paper, sir?

Why aren't You 

Home in Bed, Son?

I have no Home, sir.

I sleep in The Subway Station.

It's Warm there.

FOLLOW ME!

Werner Von Braun's autobiography was entitled,

‘I Aim for The Stars’

A more honest title would have been,

‘I Aim for The Stars -- Only,

Sometimes I Hit London.’

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :

What Happened?

Will Graham :

Well, Lecktor was attacking college girls,

then he killed them.

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :

How?

Will Graham :

In bad ways.

He was a Psychiatrist.

One of the girls was His Patient,

and I went to talk to him about her.

I tried to build Feelings in My Imagination 

like The Killer had so that I would know

WHY He Did What He Did,

because that would 

Help Me find him.

When I was sitting in Lecktor's Office 

and I looked up, I saw a book on his shelf.

It had pictures of war wounds in it.

And I knew it was him.

So I went to a pay phone down the hall 

to call The Police, 

and that's when he 

attacked me.

You and Mom, came to 

see me in the hospital,

and that helped a lot.

But after My Body got okay,

I still had His Thoughts 

going around in My Head.

And I stopped Talking to People.

And a Doctor-Friend of mine, 

a Dr. Bloom, asked me 

to get some help.

And I did.

Then after a while, I felt better,

and I was okay again.

Kevin, Son of Will Graham :

And The Way He Thought 

felt that bad?

Will Graham :

Kevin, they're The Ugliest 

Thoughts in The World.

"The World Needs You Too Lois"

(Zack Snyder's Justice League)

Lois Lane :

Who is it?

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

Martha.

Lois Lane :

Hi.

[softly] 

Hi.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

I went to The Daily Planet to 

finally pick up Clark’s things. 

[chuckles] 

I don’t know why, nowhere 

to put them now --

I lost The Farm. 

I’d been behind on the 

payments for a while. 

Truth is, The House is too big for me 

to live in by myself anyway.

Lois Lane :

Well, you know you’re welcome to stay here 

any time for as long as you need.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

Thank You, Lois. That’s very kind. 

But I’ve found a little place that 

suits me just fine, right by the diner. 

I’m not here for help. I’m here because 

when I saw Mr. Perry, he told me 

that you haven’t been to work 

since Clark died.

Lois Lane :

[sighs softly]

I can’t.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

The Whole World 

is mourning. [sighs]

Grieving over a symbol. Everywhere I go, 

everywhere I look, I see that “S.”

 

I hear What People Say. They talk

 like they knew him. 

But they didn’t know Clark. And I can’t stop them 

and look at them and tell them 

how proud I am of My Son. 

You’re the only one who knows. 

Who feels What I Do. 

Burdened by A Secret 

on top of Grief. 

I came all this way, because I wanted… 

because I wanted to see you. 

Tell you… I understand.

Lois Lane :

I… will never love anybody 

the way that I love your son. 

And I just miss him. 

I miss him so much.

[Lois sniffles]

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

So do I, sweetheart.

[sighs]

Lois Lane :

Martha, you know if there’s 

anything you need, I’m here.

Martian Manhunter,

doing 'Ma' Kent :

There is something you can do for me, honey. 

Come back to The Living.

[door opens]

[suspenseful music plays]

Martian Manhunter :

The World needs you, too, Lois.

Bruce Wayne :

Can I help you?

The Martian :

I’m sure you know Darkseid is 

not finished with Earth. 

The Anti-Life Equation 

is here somewhere. 

We have to find it 

before He does. 

There’s A War coming. 

And I’m here to help.

Bruce Wayne :

I’m sorry, who are you again?

The Martian :

I’ve gone by many names 

and taken many forms. 

And like you, I’ve realised 

I have a stake in This World,

and it’s time I started 

fighting for it.

Bruce Wayne :

Oh. Well, we could 

definitely use The Help. 

So, glad you’re here.

The Martian :

You know, I never thought 

I’d see the defenders of Earth 

united and fighting as one. 

It wouldn’t have happened 

without you, Bruce. 

Your Mother and Father 

would be proud.

Bruce Wayne :

I hope so.

The Martian :

Well, I’ll be in touch. 

Oh, and some have called me :

The Martian Manhunter.

Bruce Wayne :

I guess I’ll see you around.
