Batman: The Brave and the Bold

From the beginning, mankind has faced

villains,

selfishly pursuing their dark agendas:

Greed,

domination,

destruction.

But always rising to oppose them, have been heroes.

A breed apart.

Men and women of valor.

Selflessly leaping into the fray.

Battling for justice and protecting the innocent.

What makes a hero? Courage? Powers?

These are the questions

that would be asked about those unlikely few

who stood up to the greatest threat this world ever faced.

Fall back. We need to regroup.

Sorry, but Guy Gardner only goes down swinging.

Yeah, that's right.

You'll be telling your grandkids you were there the day

Guy Gardner single-handedly fought off an army of one-eyed monsters.

Appreciate the assist, Booster.

The 31st century is now a little safer.

No thanks necessary.

It's just a great feeling to know that when Batman needs help,

Booster Gold's at the top of his speed dial.

You weren't the first one I called.

- Number two's not bad. - You weren't the second either.

As long as you called.

You called him, sir.

I think you know the way out.

We should go before he sics the dog on us again, sir.

Hey, what's that?

An unidentified signal was first detected weeks ago.

Based on this triangulation, it's coming from Star City.

The timing corresponds with an increase in meteor strikes around the globe.

Global meteor strikes? A strange signal from Star City?

This all sounds really familiar.

Today's not?

The 3rd?

Listen, I'm pretty sure something big happens today.

Huge, in fact.

Go on.

Details are a little fuzzy, but I think it involves a diaper truck.

Ace?

Now maybe we can find out what this all means.

No match in the database.

Could mean it's alien in origin.

Wait a second. You read my mind, Ace. It's...

A homing beacon,

lighting a path to this planet for my master.

There is no weapon in your arsenal that I cannot counter.

Then maybe I should use someone else's arsenal.

I have already subdued most of your allies.

Soon there will be no heroes left to defend Earth

and Starro shall conquer it with ease.

Hey, Bats, I just remembered. Today is the invasion.

Oh, looks like you already figured it out.

Tell your master that Earth is off-limits.

No, Batman, your planet will fall

for the Starro invasion has begun.

Starro lives.

Starro lives.

Starro lives.

Starro lives.

Starro lives.

Starro...

Starro lives.

Starro lives.

Starro lives.

Starro...

We're going to need an army of heroes.

Yeah, but who's left that doesn't have a face full of starfish?

Only one way to find out.

I modified my communicator

so only those with uncompromised synaptic responders receive the signal.

What, like a dog whistle? Cool.

Calling all heroes. Calling all heroes.

Calling all heroes.

This is Batman.

If you can hear this signal, meet me at these coordinates.

The fate of the world is at stake.

Let me get this straight.

After scouring the globe, we got ourselves a couple of kids...

Hey!

A gym coach...

Science teacher.

And a? What?

B'wana Beast. How you doing?

This is all that's left to fight the greatest threat to humanity ever?

Yeah, and who are you supposed to be?

Uh, Booster Gold. Hero of the 25th century.

Never heard of you.

Listen up. Some of you are inexperienced,

naive,

arrogant,

or...

eccentric.

But, like it or not, we're Earth's only hope for survival.

So suck it up and put on your game faces.

Shazam!

Firestorm!

You must have one heck of a power to pull off that look.

Allow me to demonstrate.

Uh, let's see, I'll need you...

and you.

I am so gonna hurk.
