Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013) - full transcript

(panting)

Stop!

You're supposed to stop
for people who need help!

(grunts)

Uh-uh, not so fast,
Barry Allen.

Forget about them. You can't change other people.
It's just a waste of energy.

But...

Barry, when I was
a little girl,

grandma taught me a prayer.

Accept the things
you cannot change.

Have the courage
to change the things you can



and have the wisdom
to know the difference.

I don't totally get that.

(chuckles) You will.

Now, all we need is a phone.

There's a gas station.

- Barry: Race ya!
- Barry!

(crunching)

Mom.

(indistinct radio chatter)

Priest: And we may never know
exactly what happened.

A break-in gone wrong.
A disturbed mind.

But we do know that this
was a crime and a tragedy

and as we commit Nora
to the care of our lord,

we know her son,
Barry, will need all our prayers and help



(fading) To see him though
this terrible curse.

Happy birthday, mom.

I'm so sorry.
I should've been there.

What?

If I just ran a little faster,
I'd have been there.

Barry, you were just a boy.
There was nothing you could've done.

We don't know that.
If I'd been there, maybe I could've stopped it.

I could've saved her.

Come on.
Stop doing this to yourself.

What was that saying
your mother had,

about accepting
the things you can't change?

(beeping)

Well, this is something
I can change.

A break-in at
the Flash museum.

- See you later?
- You better.

(whirring intensifies)

- (grunts)
- Well, Flash,

once again, it looks like you're
at the bottom and I'm the Top.

(gasps)

Flash: Mirror Master
and Heat Wave.

Going to a lot of trouble
to steal my old junk, aren't you?

(grunts)

(groans)

(groans)

Exhibit's closed, Top.

(gasps)

(surprised exclaiming)

(grunts)

(straining)

(both gasping)

(strains)

Captains Boomerang and Cold.

The gang's all here.

And I thought you forgot about us as
soon as you sent us off to prison.

So this little reunion
is about revenge?

Not really. Offing you is
just a bonus part of the job.

Job? Who hired you?

No offense. None of you clowns are
smart enough to pull this off.

Zoom: You're quite right,
of course, Flash.

I knew using these morons
would put you off your guard.

Hey.

They're motivated by greed.

They lack the commitment.
The absolute focus...

- To kill me?
- Erase you.

I'm going to bring this shrine
to your ego down on your head,

along with 10 square blocks
of Central City and everyone around.

What?
What are you talking about?

We didn't bring any bombs.

Oh, but I did.

(beeping)

(beeping)

What is this?

Something I attached to your
belts as I made my entrance.

(clamoring)

I wouldn't unbuckle
if I were you.

You'll just set them off.

You don't have to kill thousands
of innocents to bring me down.

No. No, I don't,
but I choose to.

Knowing it will make your
last moments pure agony.

- (beeping)
- Goodbye.

(whooshing)

You can't escape, Flash.

The adhesive will never completely
liquefy, regardless of speed.

I'm counting on that.

(both grunt)

(straining)

Now, you got
no choice, Thawne.

Disarm the bombs
or you blow up with us.

Very well.

If it means shattering your
golden throne in history,

linking your name forever
to this city's darkest hour,

then my life is
a small price to pay.

(glass shattering)

I agree.

Your lives aren't worth much.

But Flash's life is.

You called them.

You've got your posse,
I've got mine.

Clearly you should never
do this stuff without me.

You end up with crap
all over yourself.

Focus, GL. Bombs?

It's future tech. Difficult to disarm
without setting them off, even for me.

I could try to vaporize
the bombs.

Yes. But you'd be vaporizing
the Rogues as well.

Diana is right. What's plan B?

(groans)

How do we shut off
these charges?

You can't.
We'll all be dead shortly.

The truth hurts, doesn't it?

Each of you take one of the Rogues
as far from Central City as you can.

We'll attempt to disarm the devices
once sufficiently isolated.

(grunts)

I'm not going
to just leave you here.

Lantern,
we're running out of time.

Hal, go.

I'd suck it in if I were you.

(whimpers)

(yells)

(gasps)

Aren't you gonna do something?

I am.

I've got a million microbes
eating the bomb's wiring.

Waiting is the worst part.

(gasping)

(groans)

(grunts)

(crunching)

(bomb beeping)

(beeping intensifies)

(sighs)

(beeping)

(sighs)

You may have minimized
the destruction

but the final bomb will still turn this
monument to your ego into your own tomb.

What are you doing?

You can't escape.

You can't reach the bomb to disarm it.
You're going to die.

You may have
my powers, Thawne,

but you have almost zero
imagination about using them.

(circuits crackling)

Looks like 25th century
technology is pretty delicate.

I've notified STAR Labs to ready a
cozy little cell for you, professor.

I understand the food's
not great there, Zoom.

Enjoy your petty
little Victories, Flash.

But no matter how fast you
run, you can't save everyone.

Not the ones
that matter to you.

Best to keep your mouth shut, if
you don't want bugs in your teeth

Thawne's a classic sociopath.

They have a knack for knowing just
what will get under your skin.

Yeah, they do.

You okay?

Don't worry about me Bats,
I'm fine.

Nothing I can't run off.

(phone rings)

(groans)

James: Look who's just joined
the land of the living.

I don't mean to interrupt
your beauty sleep,

lord knows you'll need it,

but the Elongated Kid murderer
isn't going to catch himself.

Elongated Man was murdered?

Elongated Kid.

What?

Director Singh wants us pulling
all-nighters until we close this case.

Hey, what's going on?

We interrupt our programming to
bring you this breaking news.

We're live outside
the cold museum,

where Citizen Cold is battling
Captain Boomerang.

Reportedly the confrontation began
inside the museum moments ago.

Cold is on the loose already?

Do we really have
to learn this stuff on TV?

Doesn't anyone
call the cops anymore?

Looks like a power struggle
in the Rogues.

Who are the "Rogues"?

The Rogues! Flash's worst enemies
bent on Flash's destruction

so they can take
over Central City.

Okay. We'll continue this
hilarious leg-pulling later.

- After the Flash has taken care
of Citizen Cold. - (gasps)

- Huh? (Grunts)
- (all gasping)

(groans)

Barry, are you all right?

Mom?

Mom.

Oh, that was a nasty spill,
even for you.

Let me see your head.

I'm fine.

Mom!

It's you, you're here.

(chuckles)
Well, of course I'm here.

You promised me you'd take me
to dinner on my birthday.

It's my birthday.

The end of the world
can't stop that.

You forgot.

(chuckles) It's okay, Barry.

It's easy for a busy young man
to forget his old mom.

Huh?

I could never forget you.

(chuckles) Oh, my.

Barry, what's gotten into you?
Are you all right?

People have been acting so strangely with
this terrible war hanging over their heads.

War? What?

No, mom, I'm fine, but
everything else has changed

and I have to find out why.

I think it probably has something
to do with me being...

- Gay.
- What? No.

It's okay.
I love you no matter what.

Mom, it's not that,
it's something else.

Brace yourself for a shock.

I'm the Flash.

Oh.

What's the Flash?

You know, the Flash.

Fastest man alive, fights
crime, very famous superhero.

Superhero?

(snickers)
You mean like Batman?

(groans)

(both grunting)

(straining)

(groans)

(panting)

Where's the Joker?

(groaning)

Where Yo-yo?

Tell me where the Joker's funhouse is
this time, while you can still talk.

Oh, it's on the tip
of my tongue.

(groans)

Let me help you get it off.

(gasps)

Judge Dent was
kidnapped last night,

where did the Joker take him?

(gasps)

Even if I did know, it wouldn't
do you any good, Bats.

He's probably already dead.

Then so are you.

(gasps)

(screams)

Cyborg?

I surrender to you.

Smart.

Batman.

You should have
let her hit the pavement.

- You shouldn't have thrown her.
- She slipped.

Aren't you wondering
how I found you?

Thermal vision, cybernetic hearing and
total access to every camera on the grid.

Must be a nice perk for being
in the president's back pocket.

I've told you,
it's not like that.

As national security adviser
I can help more people.

Like that murdering
psychopath?

Maybe you should go "help"
people in some other town.

We're trying to help all the people,
while there's still a world left.

We need you.

"We"?

Hologram party?

Ingenious.
Saves a fortune on snacks.

Enchantress, Pied piper, Citizen Cold,
Shade, Sandman, the Shazam kids.

It's Batman.
Seriously, Batman.

Well, he's older
than I thought.

But I'm not hard of hearing.

You know why
we're here Batman. War.

Over 100 million people died when Atlantis
sank Western Europe into the ocean.

Another 32 million
slaughtered

when the Amazons invaded
the United Kingdom

and renamed it
New Themyscira.

We have to take down
Aquaman and Wonder Woman

before their war destroys
what's left of the world.

We can do it.

That's exactly what
Captain Atom said

before he flew over there
and vanished.

He went in without
a plan or backup.

If we want to win this thing, we need
the best tactician on the planet.

You.

You can't just turn
your back on this, Batman.

Not when we've got a chance to
stop this war and save the world.

War's over, soldier.
You just don't know it yet.

Everybody lost.

Can I help you, sir?

Sir? Doris, it's me.

(iris laughing)

No, I don't need help.

Everything is fine now.

Mommy!

How is my little angel?

Awesome.

Daddy took me out to lunch
and we had chicken wings

and I told him about the invasion
drill we had at our school today.

(honking)

(banging)

(grunts)

Bruce?

Alfred?

(bats screeching)

What happened to you, Bruce?

You are the James bond
of superheroes.

What turned you
into the unabomber?

(grunts)

Who are you?

I said, who the hell are you?

(groans)

Bruce, wait.

You have to remember. It's me.
It's Barry, Barry Allen.

- Bruce.
- Bruce?

- Bruce.
- Bruce is dead.

I watched him die.

My god. He's the one who
died that night in the alley.

Bruce died and you lived.

You're his father.
You're Thomas Wayne.

(gunfire)

Man: Pilgrim to mayflower,
do you copy?

Where the hell are you?
I'm at the rendezvous point.

There's no sign of the package or any
other members of the resistance.

And I'm up to my neck
in Amazons.

(shrieks)

(grunts)

You're an American.

But you are going to tell me
a little more about yourself.

Who are you?

No. (Grunts)

Amazon: He's resisting
the lasso of truth.

How is that possible,
queen Diana?

It's not.

(chokes)

Who are you? And what are you
doing in New Themyscira?

(groans)

My name is colonel Steve Trevor of
the United States special forces.

I'm here to retrieve
Lois Lane.

Who is Lois Lane?

Lois Lane is a Pulitzer
prize-winning journalist

who's been embedded in New
Themyscira for three months,

gathering intel on your
Amazons for Cyborg.

She's also one of the most
beautiful women I've ever met.

Until now, you mean.

Amazon: Our information
was correct.

Cyborg is amassing the outside
world's superhumans

in an attempt to interfere
with our war.

He will fail.

Now, find me this Lois Lane.

Yes, my queen.

May I deal
with the prisoner for you?

No. The queen of the Amazons
is a servant to her people.

(groans)

(choking)

Nothing is beneath her.

(gasping)

(groans)

I told you.
Everything changed.

You have nine more fingers.

I suggest you tell me
how you found out about me.

In my world, I'm a hero,
named the Flash.

Bruce took me here.
Showed me...

- (cracking)
- (screams)

I used to be a doctor.

Mention my dead son again and I will
break out my surgical instruments.

(groans)

My ring. Let me show you
that I'm telling the truth.

My uniform is in that ring.

I'll humor you.

See. I told...

Batman: Not what
you were expecting?

No. Thawne.

Who?

The man this uniform
belongs to. My opposite.

The reverse-Flash.
Eobard Thawne.

What kind of name is Eobard?

The 25th century kind.

He replicated the accident that allowed
me to tap into the speed force.

Became a criminal.
Professor Zoom.

Speed force?

The speed force allows both of us to bend
the laws of physics using super speed.

He can travel through time.

You're suggesting that he
changed something in the past?

That changed everything.

It's crazy. My mom's alive.
You're Batman.

And Diana and Arthur are about
to start World War III.

But why give me this?

He hates you so much he'll
destroy everything to kill you.

But his psychosis requires that
you know he's responsible.

Could anyone, even Thawne,
be that deranged?

You'd be amazed the monsters
this world can create.

We have to stop this,
Dr. Wayne.

Catch Thawne,
find out what he changed

and change it back before Aquaman and
Wonder Woman kill everyone on the planet.

Not saying I believe you, but,
in your reality, is my son...

Bruce is alive. He's Batman.

If I were to help you,
what exactly would we need?

Just what's over there
and unbelievably bad weather.

(Thunder crashes)

Welcome to Gotham.

Deathstroke: I thought
you were supposed to be smart.

I am smart, Captain.
Very smart.

Unfortunately, having
the greatest intellect on earth

doesn't always help
undo the impossible.

You better be able to pinpoint
that son of a bitch.

Aquaman's doomsday device
should be easy for me to find

simply by locating
the power source.

A weapon capable of wiping out continents would
require an astonishing amount of energy.

Based on my analysis
of the shockwave,

our course should take us
right over the origin point.

But there's nothing,
not a blip.

I'm taking a big risk coming
even this close to his waters.

How close are we?

See for yourself.

That's a lot of death,
even for me.

I suggest if you want to prevent
further tragedies of this magnitude...

(thudding)

(men screaming)

(groans)

Battle stations.

Luthor: A bit too late
for that, I think.

(groans)

(yells)

(growls)

(roars)

(grunting and groaning)

(groans)

(mechanical whirring)

Surface-dwellers, milord.
Not Amazons.

Meddlers, Orm.
They're in my way.

(grunts)

Well, at least I know
I was right.

No survivors.

This is crazy.
You ought to be in Arkham.

But I need to recreate the conditions of the
accident that turned me into the Flash.

Strap me in.

You know, they say that lightning
doesn't strike the same place twice.

They say a lot of things.

Now, why don't we pull
the switch and find out.

(powering up)

Come on.

(Thunder rumbling)

Come on! I'm here!

I'm right here!

(screams)

(screaming continues)

(grunting)

Oh, my god.

President: I wish you had better
news for me, Cyborg.

This cloud of war
grows ever darker

and I fear we've
run out of options.

I just need a little
more time, Mr. President.

Victor, there is no more time.

Lex Luthor is dead.
His mission failed.

But at least we know the estimated
location of Aquaman's WMD.

Sir, let my team take out
the Atlantean device.

Cyborg, you did your best recruiting
metahumans to help us end this conflict.

But our top analysts say, without
the Batman, you have no team.

It's time to send
in the real heroes, son.

The Atlantean tech will see them coming
from half a world away, Mr. President.

Let our boys worry about that.

Thank you for everything you have
done for this country, Victor,

but, as of now,
you're relieved of duty.

(all cheering)

(sobs)

(clamoring)

All: (chanting) War! War!
War! War! War! War! War!

(sighs)

(man grunts)

(woman sobbing)

(laughing sadistically)

(laughter echoing)

(gasps)

(groans)

No!

(groaning)

Lie down.
You have third-degree burns.

You're lucky to be alive.

(sighs)

Somehow I remember
things from this timeline.

How Aquaman destroyed
most of Europe.

Maybe that lightning
jogged your memory.

But I can remember
my world as well,

a world where Aquaman would die
before harming innocent people.

My memories are changing,

realigning with this new
history Thawne's created.

Soon I'll forget my timeline
and everyone in it.

My wife, your son...
We're getting that world back.

(scoffs) How?

(grunts)

We try again.

Aquaman: Try again.

But sire, the device
is too dangerous.

Our attack on New Themyscira
destroyed an entire continent

but still left the Amazon's
new homeland untouched.

More unholy magic
from those witches.

Next time,
we will level their island.

Please, my emperor, we tried to
use only a fraction of the power

and now it is
even less stable.

I feel we could sweep clean the ocean
floor as well as the surface world.

I see. Then we will take
the witches' island by force,

inch by bloody
inch if necessary.

They will pay for what they
did to queen Mera.

(grunts)

I told you never
to speak her name.

Yes, my liege.

Prepare the armadas
for surface invasion.

The Amazons'
judgment is at hand.

(grunts)

Because of you, I'll be responsible
for the deaths of millions.

(Thunder rumbling)

Batman: The odds against
recreating the exact variables

of the original
accident are...

Then just try to dowse the flames
a little faster this time, okay?

(machine powering up)

(groaning)

(screaming)

Told you I was fast.

(panting)

This is Lois Lane
of the Daily Planet.

My battery is about to die and I
will likely to be joining it soon.

(arrows whooshing)

(grunts)

(roaring)

Earlier today, the Amazons captured
some of Aquaman's advance scouts.

Wonder Woman's lasso
made them spill their guts...

Literally!

(roaring)

(sniffing)

(footsteps retreating)

Aquaman is leading his army through
the English Channel tomorrow.

The Amazons are worried that if he gets
his secret weapon past their shield

they'll be vulnerable.

They remain defiant
in the face of...

(gasps)

(growling)

Final thoughts.
If there is an afterlife,

a cushy anchor job
would not be out of line.

(roaring wildly)

Amazons! Be ready for...

Who are you? What are you?

(gasps)

Don't worry, hot legs,
we're on your side.

Yes, fear not good lady, though our
appearance is somewhat frightful.

- We're...
- The resistance, I know.

Grifter, Godiva,
Mrs. Hyde, Canterbury Cricket.

(snorting)

And some kind of
demon from hell?

To my share of chaos I make my
claim and Etrigan is my name.

Oh, great, he rhymes. That's
not going to get old fast.

(chuckles)
Lois Lane's famous mouth.

I can't believe you didn't get
an arrow shot through it.

I would've if it weren't for whichever
one of you can run at super speed.

So, who do I thank?

I don't know what
you think just happened,

but there ain't no
speedster on this team.

Now, let's get out of here
while we still can.

Never seen anything like it.

Your burns are healing.

You should be dead.

Your bedside manner sucks.

If I didn't have the speed
force helping me heal,

I'd find another doctor.

I own a casino. I haven't
been a doctor in 20 years.

Here, you need a suit and I'm not
about to loan you one of mine.

What?
It's friction proof, isn't it?

(sighs)

I had to make some
last minute alterations.

I suggest you take it for a test run and
make sure you can break that time barrier.

Once we know that...

(whooshing)

So I'm finally on
the other end of that trick.

Come on, Barry, faster.

Faster!

(groaning)

(groans and sobs)

Nurse: If you would just
slip these over your shoes, Mr. Jordan.

Sure. The cleaning bill
here must be murder.

I'm afraid we don't have time for
introductions, Captain Jordan.

Pity.

I was warned about you.

But the president wanted the best
pilot, so you're stuck with me.

Why don't you show me what
you've got hidden away here

and I'll show you
what I can do with it.

Oh, crap.

I was hoping
this will shut you up.

Crashed in the California
desert eight years ago.

Our scientists have been piecing
it back together since then.

Its handling capabilities are,
well, beyond anything that we have.

It may be a little tricky
to get the hang of.

Oh, and who's
this handsome devil?

- Pilot.
- Died on impact?

Kicked off just as
my men found him.

Report said he muttered
something in English,

"Beware my Power."

Then, a glowing ring floated off
his finger and shot into space.

His ring flew away?

You're about to fly
a dead alien's spaceship

and that's the part you're
having trouble believing.

Touche.

You understand, Jordan,
this mission is no cake walk.

In fact...

In fact, in all likelihood,
it's a one-way trip.

And if I'm afraid,
if want to back out,

no hard feelings,
something like that?

Something like that.

General Lane, all my life I felt like
something really special was waiting for me.

Something nobody else
on earth could do.

I think I just found it, so the
last thing I am is afraid.

Flash: This thing is
unbelievably slow, just like me.

Batman: You move pretty fast
to my eyes.

I'm not fast enough to break the
time barrier, which I need to do.

The only thing I can figure is that another
speedster is co-opting the speed force,

keeping me from accessing
enough energy to time travel.

But there is
no other speedster.

Not in the real world...
My world.

So, it has to be Zoom. He's the
only one who could've done this.

He's deliberately preventing
me from changing things back.

Then nothing can be done.

Even if we knew
the trigger point,

there's no one to
go back in time and fix it.

Superman could.

I already told you, there's no metahuman
that fits that description in this reality.

I'm not so sure.

In my new memories
of this timeline,

I saw something. A meteor.

- It hit a city.
- Metropolis, 30 years ago.

The same day Superman's
rocket crashed in my reality.

Batman: So this never happened
in your world?

It must be a paradise.

It's not.

But at least there was hope.

What makes you think
your space baby survived?

Flash: He's a tough cookie.
Where's your contact?

Don't worry.
He's always on time.

I have to admit,
I didn't expect your call.

Cyborg?

Vic?

You look different.

Have we met?

No. He's new. Super
speed, goes by the Flash.

You still need a strategist
for your little army?

Someone who can put together a team
with a chance of shutting down

Aquaman and Wonder Woman?

I... Yes.

I'll do it. But my way and I pick
the team, starting with the Flash.

Then we want to find the alien who
crashed landed here in metropolis.

Alien?
What are you talking about?

The meteor. It's not what your
pals at the pentagon said it was.

Classified information.
We need it and you can get it.

(beeping)

Why aren't you telling him
about me and the timeline?

I'm not lying.

You're misleading him. He has a right
to know what our real plan is.

I got enough misplaced morality to handle
with a big metal boy scout on our hands.

He wants to stop the war,
so do we, that's all he needs to know.

There's something there but
it's above even my clearance.

I don't hack into
government systems, Batman.

You do now. If you want me
on your little suicide squad.

Cyborg: I'm cycling their
motion sensors and security cameras,

but the loop won't go
unnoticed for long.

Batman: Early morning
skeleton crew.

Well, do your thing.

(men grunting)

I'm trusting that this
is absolutely necessary.

That's why we're here.

Listen, I don't know
what changed your mind or why,

but with you on board, we can
save the world from this war.

Thank you.

Focus on the mission
at hand, Stone.

Cyborg: Sir, are you okay?

(screams)

Is that Clark?

This is the most powerful
being on the planet?

Help me.

Oh, easy there friend.
Everything's going to be fine now.

Friend?

That's right.
Cyborg, here, is your friend.

I'm your friend, too.

This must be
some kind of a mistake.

A rogue division
of the government.

Keep telling yourself that. We
should have left him where he was.

He'd be safer.

He needs the sun.

Don't know if you can
understand me,

but what happened
to you is wrong.

- Most humans aren't like that.
- They're worse.

No. People are good.

In fact, some of them
risk their lives for the greater good.

They're called heroes.

Heroes?

Don't worry, friend,
everything's going to be okay.

I thought heroes never lied.

Soldier: (over speaker)
Cyborg, stand down.

You have exceeded
your authority.

Return the stolen government property
or face immediate fire.

You don't understand.
They were using this man as a lab rat.

I don't think they care, Vic.

So beautiful.

Soldier: I have direct orders from
the president of the United States.

Maybe I could end
this peacefully.

Yeah, maybe.

(groans)

No!

Friends.

(groans)

Superman, close your eyes.

(screams)

What's wrong with him?

He's having a seizure.

Memories collapsing
in on each other.

We got to get him out of here.

Fight it, Allen.
Don't forget my son.

Hal: Yee-haw!

Hell, yeah!

Lane: (on radio)
Highball, this is papa bear. Cut the chatter.

Oh, did I say that out loud?
I didn't know.

You're only 1,000 miles
from drop zone.

Commence radio silence.

One last thing, Jordan.
On behalf of all humanity...

Oh, shut your hole already,
you're ruining this for me.

There you are, baby.
Hold still for highball.

Beware my power, asshole.

(roars)

Continue invasion
preparations.

Who the hell is this?

He's with us. Now shut up.

What's the story?

Some kind of failed kamikaze
attack on Aquaman's weapon.

The pilot was Hal Jordan.

Hal's dead?

That's not all. The president sent a
coalition fleet to New Themyscira.

The Amazons decimated it.

Troops are being ordered
to Washington, DC,

to protect the president
and members of congress.

Yeah. As our fearless leaders
make a mad dash for the bunkers.

What does it mean?

It means the final battle between
Atlantis and the Amazons has begun.

But we haven't even
started yet.

There's nothing we can do now.

Enjoy the things you love
with the time we have left.

There's bound to be looting
in Gotham by now.

I don't want to miss that.

So you're just going to give up
and wait for the inevitable?

Is that what your
heroes do here?

Flash: Look, you guys
may not know me,

but all of us have powers,
skills and abilities.

Where I come, from heroes use those powers
to fight to make the world a better place,

whether it's
their world or not.

But Superman... You said
he was our last best hope.

We're alive, Vic, and where
there's life, there's hope.

We'll go to London,
fight both sides

and save the world
in the process.

Okay.

Then we go, now.

I'll signal the others,

maybe they
could meet us there.

Bruce would have come.

What the hell. Let's do this.

Is the Batplane big enough
for all of us?

The what?

Bruce's Batplane
was a little more stoic.

Your Batman didn't have to ferry
high rollers with deep pockets

in and out of his casino.

So, he wouldn't need
a fully stocked bar aboard.

Everything is top shelf.
Help yourself.

I don't drink.

Shocking.

I'm glad I could persuade
you to come along.

You didn't. Ever since I told
Cyborg I'd help,

I've been scanning for intel
coming out of Europe.

During your little
Braveheart speech,

I heard an intercepted message
you may find interesting.

What?

Batman: Lois Lane was an
embedded reporter turned resistance fighter.

She saw something
in New Themyscira,

a superbeing who could move
in the blink of an eye.

Thawne.

If it was him, why let Lane live,
much less help her?

- If he's as fast as you...
- Why let himself be seen?

Incoming!

(alarm blaring)

Orm: Sire, the aircraft
has been intercepted and nullified.

Would that all our shots
be so lucky.

We have more than luck, Orm.

(all grunting)

(screaming)

(roaring)

Death to the under-dwellers!

Kill them. Kill them all!

(all yelling)

(grunts)

Etrigan: Behold man's final
mad disgrace,

he chops his nose
to spite his face.

(guns cocking)

You've got to put
an end to this.

You're going to destroy
the only world we've got.

You won't have it much
longer, surface-dweller.

Grifter: Plan B. Take down
as many on both sides as you can.

Maybe we can kill enough
of them to call off this war.

(soldiers screaming)

(grunting)

Fight your way to the leaders.

Once we have Aquaman
and Wonder Woman, this war is over.

(both grunting)

(yells)

(groans)

You murdered my wife, Diana.

She tried to
assassinate me, Arthur.

I was protecting myself.

Yet you wear her helmet
like a trophy.

No, a warning.

(yells)

I can't believe
I ever loved you.

You never did.

- (Aquaman grunts)
- Flash: Now!

All: Shazam!

Wonder Woman:
Captain Thunder.

I'm happy to see that a real man is
here to watch the end of man's world!

(both grunting)

(screams)

(groans)

(groans)

Fall, damn it, fall!

Sweet.

I like your style, Batman.

A pity we never teamed up
when the world still existed.

Batman and Grifter,
the boy idiot.

Take your team up
the right flank...

Don't worry, Batman.
I'll stop the blood flow.

You'll be as good as new.

Don't be stupid, Allen.

I may not be a very good doctor, but
even I know a dead man when I see one.

They're going to die.

We're dead already.

Find the speedster.

Flush him out.
Change all this.

No! I won't stand by
while people are...

- Hello, Barry.
- Thawne.

(sipping)

I love what you've done
with the place.

This is all your fault!

(grunts)

This has worked out so well.

That's why I let
Lois Lane see me, you know.

I knew it would bring you.

Not that you wouldn't have
ended up here anyway, you hero, you.

(both grunting)

(screams in agony)

(groans)

(groans)

(gun firing)

(grunting)

(groans)

(grunting)

What did you do to the world?

Oh, Barry.
That's the beauty of all this.

I didn't do any of it.

- You did.
- (groaning)

Think, Barry.
Isn't there some little thing,

some little good deed
you might have done?

I saved someone.

Yes.

I saved her.

I saved mom.

(grunts)

That's right.

No, no. It wouldn't have
changed all this.

It wouldn't have changed what
happened before her murder.

Bruce's parents,
Clark's landing.

Oh, but it did.

Break the sound barrier
and there's a sonic boom.

You broke the time
barrier Flash, time boom.

Ripples of distortion radiated out
through that point of impact,

shifting everything just
a tiny bit, but enough.

Enough for events to happen
slightly different.

(grunts)

I just wanted to save her.

Her hero. How noble.

Oh, wait. You didn't stop JFK
from getting assassinated

or make sure Hitler
stayed in art school.

You saved your mommy.

You missed her,

and in a supreme
act of selfishness

shattered history like
a rank amateur,

turned the world into a living hell
moments away from destruction.

And I'm the villain?

(grunting)

(snarling)

(creature groaning)

(grunts)

(groans)

No! (groans)

(Cyborg screams)

(thumping)

(grunts)

This form is not your own.

How is the enchantment broken?

With a word.

Speak the word.

(straining)

Shazam!

(groans)

(all groaning)

(gasping)

- (Wonder Woman grunts)
- (child gurgles)

The era of the land-dweller
is at an end, hero.

(gasping)

Your metal skull will
decorate my great hall.

(screams)

(inhaling)

Hero. Friend.

(powering down)

(grunts)

(groans)

No.

(groans)

Submit.

You are beaten.

Surrender? (coughs) then what?

You'll let the men of Atlantis
live as your slaves?

The men? No, you are a pestilence the
mother Gaia has suffered for too long,

but perhaps
Atlantis's daughters.

There will be no glorious
Victor Diana, no prize.

What I do now,
I do for the good of all.

As do I.

(grunts)

(alarm blaring)

(panting)

What are you doing?

Getting you out here
before you...

It's too late.

(screaming)

(groaning)

Good job, Barry.

The world is about
to end, thanks to you.

I hope your mother
has a good view of it.

You can't let this happen
Thawne. You'll die, too.

As you say in this era,
totally worth it.

Uh-uh-uh.

As long as I can siphon
off the speed force,

you can't escape
this timeline.

I'm afraid there just isn't enough
speed force to go around...

- (gunshot)
- (gasps)

(groaning)

There is now.

You killed him.

Not necessarily.

(groaning)

Not if you go back
in time and fix this.

(explosion)

The only way to save the world

is to keep this world
from ever happening.

Take this.

Run.

- (sighs)
- (thudding)

(Amazon screams)

(straining)

(grunting)

Flash: Barry, stop!
You'll kill everyone!

Barry, stop. You have to stop.

Other Flash: Who the hell?

- Get away!
- (grunts)

(straining)

(both grunt)

Mom, I'm so sorry.

(phone rings)

- James: Barry.
- (gasps)

Look who's just joined
the land of the living.

Got to run, James.

(gasps)

If you don't finish the files by Friday,
you'll be stuck here all weekend.

Well, it's not the end
of the world.

(birds chirping)

I think I finally got it, mom,

the things you were trying
to teach me.

Iris: Barry?

Iris?

Well, (laughs)
That's my kind of hello.

Is everything all right?

It is now, honey,

it is now.

Batman: Just to review,
you broke the chronal barrier,

went back in time,
prevented your mother's murder

and completely changed
the time stream.

Flash: Nearly destroying
the entire world along the way, yes.

There's still something
I don't understand.

I remember all of it,

not just what happened
after I woke up there,

but my whole other life.

I remember every birthday cake
my mother ever baked me,

my room, everything.

Perhaps some kind
of temporal after-effect?

Or, perhaps, it was a gift.

Yes, a gift.

This is my father's
hand writing.

You're one hell
of a messenger.

Thank you.
