Huh?
Hey!
Citizens of Planet Earatavikslu,
your world has been scanned and compressed into a smaller file
for efficient storage and preservation.
You are welcome.
The largest planet database in the galaxy is one planet closer to completion.
Finally, every spot on the D through E shelf will now be full.
Ow!
Argh.
Planet Earatavikslu is now damaged.
My collection can only assimilate planets in mint condition.
Argh.
Recalculating, recalculating, recalculating.
Circuit balance restored.
Now, I must calculate an alternative world that will go between Buzizz and Eberth.
If only there was another planet that started with E-A.
Searching...
Searching...
Searching...
Ah! Required data file located.
The very planet that Darkseid told me about in my digital suggestions box,
the planet Earth.
Recalculating...
When Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow and Batman team up,
criminals like Cheetah and Vandal Savage don't stand a chance.
And now to meet up with the rest of the league, the Justice League.
Strange to think that only last year, I was hesitant to join them,
and now I could not be more proud to be a member of most dedicated, intrepid
and professional band of heroes, history has ever known.
Let's see what they are up to.
92, 93, 94...
95, 96, 97, 98...
Flash, I can still hear you trying to find a hiding spot.
Better hurry!
- 99... - No.
100!
Ready or not, here I come!
And Green Lantern is behind the armchair.
Hey, no fair! I thought we said that you couldn't use your superpowers.
X-ray vision much?
I didn't. It was the only piece of green furniture in the Hall of Justice.
Oh. Right!
Cyborg is in Wonder Woman's invisible jet.
Dang! How does he do it?
Golly, Cyborg. I keep telling you,
Wonder Woman's plane is invisible except for the person in it.
Really? Why would that be helpful in any way?
Vic!
I found Wonder Woman!
Aw, I'm sorry, Wonder Woman.
You gave up your hiding space and lost a game
just to keep me from doing something dumb!
And I know how competitive you are.
Think nothing of it, Cyborg.
On Paradise Island,
we Amazons learn that the wellbeing of others is always what matters most.
She is so nice.
You couldn't find me!
I hid in the perfect place.
New York?
Argh. How does he do it?
Oh.
Superman, you really are the best at hide-and-go-seek.
You can find anybody.
Oh, gee. Thanks.
You know when I was in the Scouts as a kid, they always told me to be prepared.
Oh. Hey, Batman!
We were just, um, honing our skills of camouflage and, and, and...
Being stealthy, you now, like you!
Instead of performing your scheduled duties
and monitoring the world for injustice, you were playing hide-and-go-seek.
Superman was "it" and found each of you within two minutes.
He really is the world's greatest detective.
Gee whiz, Bruce, I'm sorry we didn't invite you to play. We could...
Secret identities are not to be mentioned while in costume.
As stated in the Justice League Rule Book, page one.
Our friendly exercise didn't seem like the kind of thing you'd enjoy, Batman,
not like, uh, fighting crime.
Friendly exercise. I understand completely.
My dark and mysterious nature terrifies criminals,
intimidates my enemies, and discourages friendships.
I'm okay with that.
What? Don't be silly.
Of course you're our friend.
We're all friends. We're like super friends.
Super best friends!
- Like Jupiter and Poseidon. - Buddies, amigos.
Uh, let's be honest,
this is the guy whose favorite pastime is dreaming up ways to defeat each of us,
should we suddenly turn evil.
I bet he is carrying kryptonite in his back pocket right now.
I don't have back pockets.
And you sure don't have faith in your colleagues here either.
It's hard to call a guy like that a friend.
Well, I suppose Batman's not so much of a "Let's hang out and goof off," friend.
He's more of a "Let's get things done" friend.
- Right. - Exactly!
Like, if we were doing something important,
like fighting crime or painting Wonder Woman's apartment, we'd totally call you.
No need to explain.
I don't need friends the Dark Knight walks alone.
Batman...
Cyborg's mobile trouble alert.
The threat appears to be space-based.
Readjust the League's satellite to coordinates delta 27, grid five.
On it.
There it is. I see something.
Increasing resolution.
Oh, no.
You know what that is?
Yes, I do. And we have to stop it before it reaches Earth.
To the Javelin.
Prepare for launch. Everyone, buckle in.
Ah, who needs a seat belt? I can run faster than this bucket.
Three, two, one, blast off.
Whoa!
Everyone, everyone needs to buckle up, every time.
Okay, I see your point.
Superman, you said you know what this thing is?
Unfortunately.
That ship belongs to a sentient robot named Brainiac.
More like dumb-name-iac! Am I right?
I'm high-fiving you for that, but my heart isn't in it.
Computer, access Kryptonian database from Superman Baby rocket.
That's the alien rocket that brought you to Earth as an infant from a doomed planet.
Yes, I know.
Brainiac was designed to be the ultimate artificial intelligence.
Built to catalog the existing universe for future generations.
Unfortunately, due to an accident and a glitch in his programing,
Brainiac now scours the galaxy looking for planets to capture,
and permanently preserve in his growing collection.
Oh, I totally get the impulse.
I collect commemorative coffee mugs.
This one is from Niagara Falls, this one is from the Grand Canyon,
this one is a souvenir coffee mug from a factory that makes coffee mugs.
Please stop.
I did not come back to Earth to listen to Flash talk about coffee mugs!
How can Brainiac capture entire civilizations?
Two words. Shrink ray.
Actually, shrink-ray is a single hyphenated word, but I'll let that pass.
Whoa, shrink-ray.
That would be a great way to save storage space!
You could just shrink your Christmas decorations when you didn't need...
All right, team, this is a class one threat so I want you to...
All right, enough talk...
I'm not afraid of this overgrown calculator with attitude.
Lantern, we all know you are fearless. Just wait until...
At least I can make a plan for the rest...
So, that's what that feels like.
Two millimeters backward.
Ah, there!
Now, all the jars are once again even.
Perfect!
What's this?
The Earth data file appears to have a firewall defense.
Activating malware.
Please identify yourselves by name.
I prefer to defeat you in alphabetical order.
The Justice League will not be filed, stamped, indexed, cataloged, or collected.
Then, you will be deleted.
Control, alt, destroy.
Missiles! If you think I'm gonna turn chicken because of a bunch of...
Missiles that fire laser beams?
Nope, still not afraid.
Glad I polished these bracelets.
Incoming!
Check out my spinning laser attack!
Oh, yeah? Well, check out my, taking-care-of-these-missiles attack.
I'm still working on the name.
Ha!
You keep working on that, Flash.
In the meantime, I'll show you how to put the bite on these bombs.
See what I did there?
Ugh, boys. Always fighting.
Perhaps we can solve this peacefully.
Hey!
Okay, you asked for it, buddy.
You gave him a black eye!
Whoa.
Ow. Probably, should have slipped into that jetpack.
Don't worry, Flash. I'll get you back in the fight.
Oh, no.
Whoa!
Huh?
Wonder Woman, check out the mustache.
Flash! Look at you. You are quite the go-getter.
And don't forget, I magnetized your space boots.
Hey, hey, now my boots will match my magnetic personality.
Hey, Brainiac, get a load of this.
Here's something that will really turn your head.
Too easy.
Destroying my peripherals is not part of the program.
Error, error!
Recalculating.
Units of Earth...
I have selected your planet for permanent back-up in my archives.
Prepare to be downsized.
Activating shrink-ray.
Everyone, stand back, I've got this.
