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 --

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]
can’t.


Martian Manhunter,
doing 'Ma' Kent :
The Whole World 
is mourning. [sighs]
Grieving over 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 youtoo, 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.

A Race of Warriors


Nor Shall My Sword Sleep at my Side...


DOCTOR: 
Well, believe me, I know the Ice Warriors, Jo. 
They're a savage and a warlike race. 
[Usually only with each other.]

No, among the delegates, only Ssorg's strength could have shifted that statue. 

JO: 
I still think you're jumping to conclusions. 


IZLYR:
 Sit down, Princess. 
Why did you try to escape? 


JO: 
I was frightened. 
Can you blame me? 


IZLYR: 
So, Princess, you believe that we tried to kill Arcturus. 


JO: 
Well if you didn't, 
why was the missing servo-unit in your room? 


IZLYR: 
Perhaps you brought it here as part of your scheme to trap us. 


JO: 
But that's just Not True! 
I... One of you must have tried to kill Arcturus. 


IZLYR: 
Nobody tried to kill him. 


JO: 
What? 


IZLYR: 
To destroy Arcturus, 
the helium regenerator must be deactivated. 


JO: 
What about the unit? 


IZLYR: 
Merely sensor equipment. 
Disconnecting that only produces metabolic coma. 


JO: 
So it couldn't be fatal? 


IZLYR: 
Only uncomfortable. 


JO: 
I'm sorry if I might have misjudged you, 
but the Doctor did say you were A Race of Warriors. 
[That isn't quite what he said, now is it...?]


IZLYR: 
We were once, but now we reject violence 
except in self-defence. 


JO: 
What about Ssorg's gun? 
This is supposed to be a peaceful mission. 


IZLYR: 
Unfortunately, in order to preserve Peace, it is necessary to Survive. 


JO: 
Well, if you didn't do it, who did? 
Who could benefit by it? 


IZLYR: 
Perhaps The Doctor will be able to explain.

"Whoever you hate will end up in your Family. 

You don't like Gays? 

You're gonna have a Gay Son

You don't like Puerto Ricans? 

Your daughter's gonna come home with 
'Livin' La Vida Loca!' *

[ * That is one catchy-ass song!  That shit is like the Puerto Rican 'WHOMP! There it Is'..! ]

You hate Warriors - Well, Guess What...?

The Way of The Warrior has been misunderstood 
as a means to kill and destroy others.

Those who seek Competition are making a grave mistake.

To smash, injure or destroy 
is the worst sin a human being can commit.


The real Way of The Warrior is to prevent slaughter - 
it is The Art of Peace, The Power of Love.


Saruman: 
You have fought many wars and slain many Men, Théoden-King, and made peace afterwards. 

Can we not take council together as we once did, my old friend? 

Can we not have peace, you and I?

Théoden: 
We shall have peace. 

We shall have peace, when you answer for the burning of the Westfold, and the children that lie dead there! 

We shall have peace, when the lives of the soldiers, whose bodies were hewn even as they lay dead against the Gates of the Hornburg, are avenged! 

When you hang from a gibbet, for the sport of your own crows, we shall have peace!

Saruman: 
Gibbets and crows?! Dotard!
What do you want, Gandalf Greyhame?
 Let me guess - the Keys of Orthanc? 
Or perhaps the Keys of Barad-dûr itself, 
along with 
The Crowns of  Seven Kings 
and the rods of the Five Wizards!

Gandalf the White: 
Your treachery has already cost many lives. 
Thousands more are now at risk.
But you could save them, Saruman. 
You were deep in The Enemy's council.

Saruman: [smiling
So you have come here for information. 
I have some for you.

Something festers in the heart of Middle Earth. 
It Does.]
Something that you have failed to see. 
He Has.]
But the Great Eye has seen it. 

True. ]

Even now, he presses his advantage. 
His attack will come soon. 

True. ]

You are all going to die.

True. But no Today. Today is not a Good Day to Die.]

But you know this, don't you, Gandalf? 

He Does.]

You cannot think that this Ranger will ever sit upon the Throne of Gondor! 

He Does.]

This exile, crept from The Shadows, will never be crowned King! 

Ouch. Wishful Thinking by The White Wizard - Swing & a Miss. ]

Gandalf does not hesitate to sacrifice those closest to him, those he professes to love. 

He Does. But not to excess. And that group of people includes Himself. ]

Tell me, what words of comfort did you give the halfling, before you sent him to his doom? 
The path that you have set him on can only lead to Death.

True. But no Today. It's a Wasting Death. ]

Gimli: 
I've heard enough! 
Shoot him, stick an arrow in his gob!

Gandalf the White: 
No. Come down, Saruman, and your life will be spared.

Saruman: 
Save your pity and your mercy! 
I have no use for it!


Gandalf the White: [sternly]
Saruman! Your staff is broken!

[ And it is. ]

Théoden: 
Gríma! You need not follow him. 
You were not always as you are now. 
You were once a Man of Rohan!
 Come down.


Saruman: 
"A Man of Rohan"?

What is the House of Rohan, but a thatched barn, where brigards drink in the reek, and their brats roll on the floor with the dogs?! 

[ Currently True. ]

The victory at Helm's Deep does not belong to you, Théoden Horse-Master! 

[ True.]

You are a Lesser Son of Greater Sires!

[ Also True. But irrelevant. ]
[ Arthur was a bastard, born of Lies, Treachery and Rape. ]

Théoden: 
Gríma, come down. 
Be free of him.

Saruman: 
Free?! He will never be free!

Gríma Wormtongue: 
No.

Saruman: 
Get down, cur! 

Gandalf the White: 
Saruman! 
You were deep in The Enemy's council. 
Tell us what you know.

Saruman: 
You withdraw your guard and I will tell you where your doom will be decided. 

I will not be held prisoner here!

[ All True - His Kung-Fu is still The Best. Even with no Rod ]

"Whoever you hate will end up in your Family.
