- Lex Luthor: [after Mercy subdues the guards] Hello, Mercy. Better late than never.
- [changes into his power suit]
- Lex Luthor: Let's get out of here.
- [to the Rookie]
- Lex Luthor: This is the point we escape. Come on, Rookie! You're with Lex Luthor now! The greatest ever criminal mastermind!
- Mercy Graves: Are you sure about this?
- Lex Luthor: If nothing else, Rookie will be excellent cannon fodder.
- Lex Luthor: [to Darkseid] I am Lex Luthor, the greatest criminal mastermind of this, or any other Earth! And you have an associate of mine!
- [the villains are battling Johnny Quick, Deathstorm, Atomica, Kid Flash, Beast Boy, and Raven at S.T.A.R Labs. In the confusion, Killer Frost is knocked away and picks up the newspaper Reverse-Flash brought back from Earth-3]
- Killer Frost: The Crime Syndicate? That doesn't sound friendly.
- [the rest of the villains are getting beaten by the heroes. The Rookie breaks away from the battle]
- Mirror Master: Go! Run! We'll hold them off!
- [Killer Frost and the Rookie run toward the exit. Deathstorm blocks their path and confiscates the newspaper. While he laughs victoriously, Killer Frost takes the Rookie's hand and the duo make their getaway]
- Darkseid: [after being defeated] How? I have the complete equation. I know the secrets of the universe.
- Batman: Not quite. I think our friend here isn't from *our* universe.
- The Flash (Barry Allen): What?
- Batman: Rookie turned up just before the Crime Syndicate, which makes me think our super powerful stranger is from Earth-3.
- [the Rookie nods]
- Batman: When Rookie absorbed the Mother Box power, it was altered by their Earth-3 make-up.
- [Rookie uses the Mother Box power to turn Darkseid and his forces good]
- Superman: So it's turning them good? How do you know this?
- Batman: World's Greatest Detective.
- [If the Rookie chooses to be a hero, they walk over and stand with the League]
- Wonder Woman: You made the right choice.
- Batman: Hmm. We'll see.
- Lex Luthor: [to the Rookie] After everything I did for you?
- The Joker: Didn't you try and send them to the other side of the universe?
- Lex Luthor: Shut up, Joker!
- The Joker: Twice?
- [while they continue fighting, Livewire transports all the villains away except for Captain Cold, who runs off awkwardly]
- Wonder Woman: [to the Rookie] Coming?
- [the Rookie sets off with the League after the villains]
- Johnny Quick: [after being caught by Flash and Reverse-Flash] Hey, let's be reasonable here. How about I give you your old job back?
- The Flash (Barry Allen): Too late for that now. Tell me what you're up to.
- Johnny Quick: But you're a good guy. You wouldn't hurt me... would you?
- The Flash (Barry Allen): Maybe, maybe not.
- Reverse-Flash: Better tell him, Johnny. I've never seen him like this.
- Atomica: No, don't tell him, Johnny!
- The Flash (Barry Allen): Tell me.
- Johnny Quick: Listen, we're just a bunch of crooks working for Darkseid. He wanted us to find something.
- The Flash (Barry Allen): [slams his fist into the wall] What something?
- Johnny Quick: A Mother Box!
- Reverse-Flash: A what now?
- Johnny Quick: He told us if, if we found it, we-we could have your planet.
- Atomica: [slaps him] You blabber mouth!
- The Flash (Barry Allen): I thought Darkseid was looking for the Anti-Life Equation?
- Johnny Quick: It's in the Mother Box!
- Atomica: Ugh. Stop talking!
- The Flash (Barry Allen): [to Lois] Did you get all that?
- [it's revealed that Lois was filming the whole thing]
- Lois Lane: Every word.
- Johnny Quick: Oh, no.
- [streaks away]
- Catwoman: [after tracking down Harley Quinn] Harley, did any of these fools tell you why we're here?
- Captain Boomerang: To take you to the press! We're gonna expose those new heroes.
- Harley Quinn: Wait, you believe me?
- Killer Frost: Yes, of course. We found out those fakers are actually called the Crime Syndicate.
- [suddenly, Deathstorm and Grid fly onto the scene, blowing all the villains back]
- Deathstorm: [to Harley] We've been looking for you, clown.
- [Harley tries to run away, but Grid grabs her]
- Deathstorm: [to the other villains] Thanks for doing the hard work.
- [he and Grid fly off]
- Captain Boomerang: Well ain't that just a dingo's dinner!
- Deathstorm: [flying away with Harley] Deathstorm to Ultraman. We've got the witness, bringing her to you. Over.
- Harley Quinn: [having been captured by the Syndicate] You'll never get away with this! I got proof that you zapped the Justice League!
- Ultraman: I think you'll find I have your proof right here.
- [holds out Harley's phone]
- Harley Quinn: [gasps] My phone!
- Ultraman: So now, what I need to know, and why I sent my friends here to get you: Did you make any copies?
- Harley Quinn: Copies? No, of course not.
- Ultraman: [leans in close to her] That's good for us. And extremely bad for you.
- [suddenly, the other villains burst into the room]
- Captain Boomerang: Heads up, ya drongo!
- [throws boomerang at Ultraman]
- [the villains have rescued Harley from the Crime Syndicate and plan to reveal their secret. Catwoman and Killer Frost hold back the Syndicate]
- Catwoman: Go! We'll hold them off!
- Killer Frost: Hope you've got a plan!
- [the other villains run down the hall]
- Harley Quinn: I got a video on this phone that'll show the world who those phony creeps *really* are!
- [the Rookie points to the Gala poster]
- Harley Quinn: Great idea, Dr. Don't-Say-Much!
- [breaks a window open]
- Harley Quinn: That's the perfect place to announce it!
- Black Adam: [after seeing the rest of the villains defeated] It's as if they were waiting for us!
- Ultraman: Of course we were.
- [he and the rest of the Syndicate make their appearance]
- Lex Luthor: [stepping up next to them] Ultraman, as arranged. They're all yours.
- Ultraman: [to the villains] Your so-called ally Lex told us you were on your way.
- Owlman: He said he simply couldn't allow this attack to succeed.
- Superwoman: You have done well, Lex.
- Lex Luthor: My tech can help you find whatever it is you're looking for, in exchange for my share of the Earth when you're done.
- The Joker: [to Ultraman] I'd watch him, Ultra-bland. I don't thnk he can be trusted.
- [Owlman throws him into the pile of defeated villains, causing them to slide into a chamber]
- Black Adam: Well, I came here for a fight!
- Sinestro: Get them!
- [they attack the Syndicate]
- Batman: [to the Rookie, who's powering the Cosmic Treadmill] Send them home!
- [the Rookie salutes Batman, then powers up the portal to send the Crime Syndicate back to Earth-3. Sea King and Deathstorm are sucked in first]
- Ultraman: No, you can't! You don't understand!
- Johnny Quick: There's only four shopping channels!
- [he and Atomica get sucked in]
- Superwoman: Noooo!
- [she and Grid get sucked in]
- Owlman: The Wi-Fi is terrible!
- [gets sucked in]
- Power Ring: It's over? Oh, thank goodness!
- [he and Ultraman get sucked in]
- Cyborg: [about the Mother Box Harley had with her] If that was a Mother Box, I think the Rookie here just absorbed all of its energy.
- Aquaman: So, what does that mean?
- Wonder Woman: It means that now we have the power!
- Lex Luthor: [discussing the Crime Syndicate] We'll show them how we do things on our Earth.
- Poison Ivy: But Ultraman is so powerful. We have our limits, Lex.
- [indicates the Rookie]
- Poison Ivy: Apart from the walking power absorber here.
- Lex Luthor: Welcome, Grodd. We can introduce you to everyone later. I need you to help collect our next recruit.
- Gorilla Grodd: You want me to find Sinestro?
- Lex Luthor: Pick those you think would be most helpful.
- [Grodd points to Killer Frost first]
- Scarecrow: Ooh, I can find out where Sinestro is! I'm his biggest fan!
- [Grodd points at him]
- Scarecrow: Yes!
- Gorilla Grodd: [to the Rookie] And you.
- Lex Luthor: The Rookie, eh? Yes, that one is becoming most useful. Very well. Any thoughts on where to start looking?
- Scarecrow: Ugh! He's been captured by the Crime Syndicate and taken to Oa.
- Gorilla Grodd: Hmm. The home of the Green Lantern Corps. I can locate a vessel to get us there.
- Lex Luthor: Very clever.
- Gorilla Grodd: Well, you didn't bring me along for my personality.
- Sinestro: [sneaking into the museum] I still don't see why we have to sneak around.
- Harley Quinn: If we set off the alarms, the building will lock down! And those Crime Syndicate creeps might show up!
- Sinestro: Ha! I, Sinestro, fear nothing! Except maybe long silences.
- Harley Quinn: Hmm, well I don't wanna give them fake heroes any more publicity at my expense!
- Aquaman: [having tracked Superman to...] Dinosaur Island!
- Green Lantern (Hal Jordan): How do you figure that?
- [gets run over by Triceratops]
- Lex Luthor: [referring to the boom tube generator] I can use this to reverse the energy and send Apokolips back. But *only* once we have the Rookie.
- Superman: Lex, I never knew you cared.
- Batman: We'll need to act quickly, before Darkseid gets what he wants.
- Lex Luthor: We should split up. No point in all of us looking in the same place.
- The Joker: First one to find the Rookie, gets a cookie!
- Kid Flash: [catches the villains breaking into S.T.A.R Labs] Hey, what is this? A snow cone convention?
- Killer Frost, Captain Cold: Kid Flash!
- Kid Flash: Such a frosty reception. What are you up to? Let me guess, destruction of property with a dash of theft?
- Heat Wave: Actually, we needed to use the Cosmic-
- [Captain Cold hits him]
- Heat Wave: -ow!
- Captain Cold: We need to keep him busy until Reverse-Flash gets back.
- Malcolm Merlyn: Yeah. One mere boy is no match for all of us.
- [Beast Boy and Raven show up]
- Beast Boy: Maybe not, but a couple of Teen Titans might even things up!
- The Riddler: [talking about the Crime Syndicate] Harley Quinn said she saw something strange back when Luthor broke out of Stryker's.
- Clayface: But Harley's still missing.
- Cheetah: [to the Rookie] Did you see anything?
- [the Rookie shakes their head]
- Malcolm Merlyn: [discussing how to get to Earth-3] But how do we get there?
- Reverse-Flash: My erstwhile nemesis, the Flash, had access to the Cosmic Treadmill at S.T.A.R Labs. I can use it to get to Earth-3. I'd be there and back before you know it.
- Catwoman: Alright. But take Heat Wave, Captain Cold, Merlyn, and chatterbox here.
- [the Rookie waves]
- Catwoman: While you're doing that, I'll try and track down Harley Quinn.
- Malcolm Merlyn: [after Reverse-Flash uses the Cosmic Treadmill and vanishes, the alarm goes off] I think that's our cue to get out of here!
- Captain Cold: What about the speedster?
- Heat Wave: Hey, I told him to be quick.
- [the Rookie runs to the exit, but the door closes]
- Malcolm Merlyn: This way!
- [the Rookie follows the villains into the next room]
- Steppenwolf: [sees the Mother Box] There you are!
- [before he can grab it, Harley blows the horn summoning their allies to battle. They all pile on top of Steppenwolf. Unseen by Darkseid's forces, Wonder Woman leads Cyborg, Deathstroke, and the Rookie towards the building]
- Wonder Woman: [to the Rookie] Now they're distracted. Let's get you to safety.
- [Steppenwolf breaks free and picks up the Mother Box, only to find it empty]
- Steppenwolf: No! NOOOOO! The Anti-Life Equation! It's gone!
- [notices the Rookie]
- Steppenwolf: You. You have it!
- [to the Parademons]
- Steppenwolf: After them! They have what we're looking for.
- Wonder Woman: [to the Rookie] Get inside!
- Robin: With Darkseid's goons on our tail, this isn't going to be easy.
- Deathstroke: Hey, who invited this little pipsqueak along?
- Darkseid: [to the captured Rookie] You don't just have the Anti-Life Equation. You *are* the Anti-Life Equation.
- Reverse-Flash: [discussing the Crime Syndicate] They trashed my lair!
- The Riddler: They broke all my henchmen!
- Captain Cold: They interrupted my evil monologue!
- [beat]
- Captain Cold: It was a really good monologue.
- Reverse-Flash: [arriving at S.T.A.R Labs] There's the Cosmic Treadmill. What's left of it.
- Captain Cold: Looks like someone wrecked it on purpose. Someone who knew about the Speed Force.
- Reverse-Flash: Maybe it's that new guy in town; Johnny Quick.
- Captain Cold: You think this Justice Syndicate doesn't want anybody checking up on them?
- Malcolm Merlyn: All the more reason for you to get to Earth-3 and see.
- Heat Wave: Yeah, but just be quick.
- Johnny Quick: [after they've been exposed] I'm sorry, everyone. Flash didn't play fair. I panicked!
- [Ultraman turns on the TV]
- Lois Lane: And with this evidence, the Crime Syndicate has been unmasked.
- Metropolis Citizen: [behind Lois] Boo! The Crime Syndicate are bad people! Boo!
- Ultraman: Oh, well. It was nice while it lasted.
- Superwoman: Shouldn't we get out of here?
- Superwoman: [arriving at the museum] I'm here to help!
- Shazam: I'm a big fan of your work. You're just in time to see me clean their clocks!
- Johnny Quick: Ultraman? More like Ultra-stupid! Didn't he think that maybe asking all this Earth's fools to call us about anything odd-looking might be a bad idea? I mean, really?
- Superwoman: You might have a point there, Johnny.
- Owlman: Well *your* helpers got stuck in a cosmic rock and allowed Black Adam to escape!
- Sea King: What? First Power Ring, and now you? This Earth's villains are not playing nice.
- Cyborg: [confronting Darkseid] We've beaten bigger than you before, and we'll do it again!
- Darkseid: As they say on your world... 'You and whose army?'
- [something crashes through the roof]
- Darkseid: What?
- Green Lantern (John Stewart): [arriving with the rest of the Green Lantern Corps] You didn't think this traveling across the galaxy would go unnoticed, did you?
- Darkseid: Stop them!
- [the Corps begins battling Darkseid's forces]
- Green Lantern (John Stewart): [to Hal] We'll hold Darkseid's legions, you guys regroup at the Watchtower!
- Batman: [to Flash] Get the clown!
- [Flash grabs Joker, Harley, and the Rookie, then Green Lantern lifts everyone to safety]
- Johnny Quick: [chasing Flash and Reverse-Flash] You two shouldn't have come back! There's only room for one speedster around here and that's me!
- Atomica: Yeah! You tell 'em, Johnny!
- Johnny Quick: Hold on tight, little lady! This could be a bumpy ride!
- Reverse-Flash: This Johnny Quick guy isn't just bragging. He genuinely seems to be as fast as we are!
- The Flash (Barry Allen): We'll soon see about that!
- Sinestro: [trying to find the magic word to free Black Adam] Wait, there it is! Sher-zam!
- Black Adam: I, Black Adam, am free!
- [breaks out of his sarcophagus. Someone triggers the alarm]
- Black Adam: I'm sure I can get through those walls.
- Billy Batson: [offscreen] But can you get through me? Shazam!
- [Shazam enters the scene]
- Sinestro: Shazam?
- Wonder Woman: [arriving on Themyscira] Welcome to Themyscira. My people are pretty serious, so Harley, you'll need to be on your best behavior.
- Harley Quinn: Yes, ma'am!
- [suddenly they're attacked by the Amazon forces]
- Wonder Woman: Stand down! I've brought outsiders, but... You're all under mind control! Who did this?
- Granny Goodness: That would be us.
- Wonder Woman: Granny Goodness!
- Granny Goodness: Since we're here, I thought why not recruit a few more of you for my Female Furies. In fact, I think you'd make a grand addition, too. Virman, bring her to the temple.
- Virman Vundabar: But of course! Furies, attack!
- [the Amazons attack the group. Harley hits one on the head with her hammer]
- Harley Quinn: Sorry, that's as best as my best behavior gets!
- Wonder Woman: I can live with that. We need to break the mind control on these Amazons.
- The Joker: So Lex, as you can't be trusted at all, maybe we should ask the Rookie to be our new boss.
- Lex Luthor: Hahahaha! I suggest we talk about this back at the base.
- [the Rookie transports all the villains away]
- Batman: I hate it when I'm right.
- Harley Quinn: [discussing the Syndicate with Ivy] You don't understand, Red. We're the bad guys, but they're the *worst* guys. If Mr. J wasn't banged up in Arkham, he'd figure out a way to stop those no good do-gooders!
- [talking to the glowing box]
- Harley Quinn: Oh, Boxy, you's all I got to remember Mr. J by.
- Poison Ivy: There, there, honey. You can stay as long as you like.
- Catwoman: [rescuing Harley from the Syndicate] Are you okay, Harley?
- Harley Quinn: I am now! How'd you find me?
- Poison Ivy: Heard it on my grapevine.
- Harley Quinn: [hugs Ivy, then Catwoman] Gee, thanks for coming to save me, Catwoman,
- [hugs Captain Boomerang]
- Harley Quinn: and Captain Boomerang,
- [hugs the Rookie]
- Harley Quinn: and... whatever your name is. Ooh, is it "Doctor Don't-Say-Much"? That'd be a neato name!
- Lex Luthor: [the other villains are mad at him for his betrayal] But, who here can say if they had been in my place, they wouldn't have done the same?
- [Batman and Superman raise their hands]
- Lex Luthor: Not you. Them!
- The Joker: [reluctantly] Yes, I suppose.
- Harley Quinn: Yeah.
- Catwoman: He's got a point.
- Superman: [arriving at the prison] Stop right there, Luthor!
- Lex Luthor: Ah, Superman! I'm guessing a campfire is missing an overgrown boy scout.
- Superman: And Stryker's prison kitchen is missing one bald-headed pot washer.
- Lex Luthor: I chop the vegetables now!
- Superman: Good for you, now get back in your cell.
- [gets knocked out of the air by a blast from behind him]
- Lex Luthor: I think not, Superman. I believe you've met...
- [the prisoner is revealed to be...]
- Superman: Metallo! He's too unstable to be outside that cell!
- Lex Luthor: Unstable for you, perhaps. His Kryptonite core doesn't bother me one bit.
- Superman: [weak from Metallo's Kryptonite core] You're not going anywhere.
- Lex Luthor: You really think you can stop me?
- Wonder Woman: No. But we can.
- [the rest of the Justice League show up]
- Cyborg: Boo-yah!
- The Flash (Barry Allen): Not so fast, bad guys!
- Green Lantern (Hal Jordan): [to Metallo] Back off. Green's my thing!
- [hits him back with a hand construct. The rest of the villains prepare to battle the League]
- Superman: Where's Batman?
- Wonder Woman: Said he had to take care of an emergency.
- Malcolm Merlyn: [discussing the Syndicate] This Crime Syndicate is worse than the Justice League. They don't play fair!
- Captain Cold: They broke my favorite cold gun!
- Cheetah: They stood on my tail!
- Clayface: They tried to use me as a casserole dish.
- The Penguin: I hear they got all the loot from the Batcave!
- Catwoman: You've gotta hand it to them, they're better at being villains than we are.
- Lex Luthor: [turning around in a chair] I beg to differ, Catwoman. No one is better at being a villain than Lex Luthor.
- Lex Luthor: [discussing about collecting their next recruit] Gotham Museum has artifacts from Kahndaq on display.
- Malcolm Merlyn: Kahndaq? You're not seriously thinking about recruiting Black Adam, are you?
- Lex Luthor: The key to Black Adam's freedom lies somewhere in that exhibition.
- Gorilla Grodd: A magic prison of some kind?
- The Joker: Magic? Harley and me love magic. Can we go Lex, can we, huh? Can we, can we, can we?
- [Luthor relents. Harley kisses his cheek and Joker hugs him before both of them run out]
- Lex Luthor: [after saving Batman and Catwoman] What? Is that why Darkseid took my Rookie?
- Batman: Your Rookie has the last piece of the Anti-Life Equation.
- Catwoman: If Darkseid gets the Equation, it's lights out for the entire universe.
- Superman: [referring to Luthor's save] Not bad, Luthor. I couldn't have done better myself.
- Lex Luthor: Well, while you were away, someone had to step in and take charge.
