Millions in structural damage.
You haven't lost your touch.
But it's good to see you
playing well with others.
The Aquaman :
Dressed like A Bat. I dig it.
The Batman :
…may be temporary.
So, what made you
change Your Mind?
The Aquaman :
Steppenwolf. He took
The MotherBox from Atlantis.
Wonder Woman :
All he needs now is
The Lost Box of Men.
If he doesn't already have it.
Cyborg :
He doesn't have it.
Wow! It's like A Cave.
Like a…. Bat-Cave.
The Batman :
Barry....
Cyborg :
My Father called it
A Change Engine.
It was found by The British
during World War I.
They studied it, but they couldn't
even date it, it's so old.
It was shelved ‘til
The Night Superman Died.
Then She lit up like Christmas.
They brought it to STAR Labs
where My Father recognised it
as a perpetual energy matrix.
The Flash :
That sounds cool.
I thought it was like
a nuclear bomb.
Cyborg :
A MotherBox destroys as it creates.
It's a Cycle of Life, but
a million times faster.
My Father thought it was
the key to unlimited energy.
New formulas. Cellular regeneration.
But it's too volatile to Control.
The Batman :
He used it on you.
Cyborg :
I was in an accident. Should've died.
My Father thought that he could
use the MotherBox to rebuild
the broken parts of me with
a few cybernetic enhancements.
Instead he built a living machine
that may be stronger than its host.
Too much. Too much Life.
The Aquaman :
What's on your weird mind?
The Batman :
Muscles, coordination, basic cellular integrity.
A Human Being can only absorb so much.
The MotherBox was designed
to reshape a planet.
So?
The Batman :
So, what if you were stronger than a planet?
Your cells lying dormant,
but incapable of decay.
If you were in a conductive field,
a boost from The MotherBox...
Could bring him back to life.
The Kryptonian Ship has an amniotic chamber,
which would be a perfect...
Wonder Woman :
No.
The Batman :
Diana...
Wonder Woman :
Bruce, no. You have no idea what kind
of Power you are dealing with.
The Batman :
Even if there's a fraction of a chance?
Wonder Woman :
That what? That we could raise
a monster like Luthor did?
The Batman :
We have tech Luthor's never even seen.
Wonder Woman :
Superman is Dead.
We all wish he weren't.
The Batman :
We don't know what state he's in.
We know we can't bring him back.
But this is Science Beyond Our Limits.
And that's what Science is for.
To Do what's never been Done.
To make Life better.
Wonder Woman :
Or to end it. Technology is like
any other Power.
Without Reason, without Heart,
it Destroys Us.
You're risking lives. Theirs and
maybe countless more.
The Batman :
We don't have time for a control group.
Is it a risk? Yes. But it's necessary.
Wonder Woman :
Why, because of your guilt? Bruce, I was there.
You didn't kill Superman. At some point, even you
have to learn to move on.
The Batman :
Did Steve Trevor tell you that?
(She shoves him 30 feet across The Hanger --)
Superman was a beacon
to The World --
Why aren't you?
You're an inspiration, Diana :
You don't just Save People,
you make them see
their better selves.
And yet, I'd never heard of you until
Luthor lured you out by stealing
a picture of your dead boyfriend.
You shut yourself down for a century,
so let's not talk about me moving on.
The Flash :
You know that if she kills you,
we'll cover for her.
The Batman :
We are NOT Enough!
Each of us, in our own way, is held back.
And I promise you, Steppenwolf is not
out there talking about ethics.
He's trying to BURN DOWN The WORLD!
The way we're gonna stop Him
is by using His Power...
This Power, against Him.
Cyborg :
I agree. I don't like the idea of
reintegrating with The MotherBox,
but I was running the numbers
while you were being an asshole,
and there is a high probability that
We can Bring Him Back.
The Flash :
Right, right. But we mean "Bring Him Back" in
like a, "Yay, he's back!" way, not in
like a Pet Sematary scenario.
The Aquaman :
You lose something when you die -- Even Superman.
Maybe not his mind. Maybe his soul.
The Batman :
I have a contingency plan for that.
If he wakes up and you're the first thing
he sees, you'll need one.
Alfred :
Well, that was fun while it didn't last.
She could've stopped me.
I practically dared her to.
Alfred :
I don't see why you're pushing her.
We have to boost the signal.
Put it through the Batmobile speakers.
Alfred :
Yeah, now you're changing the subject.
The Batman :
I have a contingency. What?
Alfred :
Diana was right about the risk.
The Batman :
If the plan goes south, we're gonna bring
in the big guns. But that's not...
Alfred :
Those are some very big guns.
You've got A Team here.
The Batman :
Superman would bring this team together better than I ever could.
His strength...
Alfred :
It doesn't matter how strong you are.
Or what abilities you might have...
The Batman :
He was more Human than I am.
He lived in this world. Fell in love.
Had a job. Despite all that power.
The World needs Superman.
And The Team needs Clark.
Alfred :
And what does Clark need?
Maybe he's at peace.
The Batman :
He'll get over it.
You know, I could do this a lot faster.
I just... Is it weird that
it feels disrespectful?
Yep.
Do you feel a sense of confidence that we're not doing something
horribly wrong and macabre here?
Not really.
Okay, then why...
Because I saw Steppenwolf up close.
The stories Diana told us — I believe them. Why we gotta stop him.
That's the plan.
That's the plan.
Okay. We're not ready for...
It's racially charged.
You got struck by lightning, huh?
Uh, yeah, that's the abridged version.
And you... explosion.
Woke up in a lab.
So we're The Accidents.
…Yeah, that's us.
Hey. No, no.
