1
00:00:56,954 --> 00:00:58,542
My name is Orion.

2
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,870
I fled from the fire-pits of Apokolips
to warn you. He's coming.

3
00:01:05,052 --> 00:01:07,647
- Who is?
- Darkseid.

4
00:01:08,702 --> 00:01:12,340
He's already provided human agents
with Apokoliptic weaponry.

5
00:01:12,525 --> 00:01:13,911
Maggie!

6
00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:23,045
We're ready to begin phase two,
Mr. Mannheim.

7
00:01:30,911 --> 00:01:34,621
You may use this to contact me
when you need further help.

8
00:01:47,943 --> 00:01:50,017
Orion was right.

9
00:01:50,202 --> 00:01:52,488
It isn't over.

10
00:01:56,145 --> 00:01:58,396
We've been monitoring
the hot zone by satellite.

11
00:01:58,578 --> 00:02:02,773
The explosion triggered a meltdown
in the power plant's central reactor.

12
00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:07,126
It's burning straight through
the substrata now.

13
00:02:08,136 --> 00:02:12,023
And it will get hotter and hotter
until it reaches the earth's core.

14
00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:14,351
What then?

15
00:02:17,659 --> 00:02:20,954
As this simulation shows,
it will explode...

16
00:02:21,135 --> 00:02:23,529
setting off a series
of violent eruptions...

17
00:02:23,707 --> 00:02:26,374
which will cover the earth
with more burn holes.

18
00:02:26,557 --> 00:02:28,287
I've never seen anything like it.

19
00:02:28,991 --> 00:02:30,234
Yes, you have.

20
00:02:30,798 --> 00:02:32,528
We all have.

21
00:02:34,030 --> 00:02:35,973
On Apokolips.

22
00:02:56,692 --> 00:02:59,050
Your plan worked, Darkseid.

23
00:02:59,229 --> 00:03:01,587
Earth is ours.

24
00:03:03,052 --> 00:03:06,938
Your enthusiasm is premature, Kalibak.

25
00:03:07,501 --> 00:03:11,103
Superman will still try to resist me.

26
00:03:11,290 --> 00:03:12,842
Then send me.

27
00:03:15,148 --> 00:03:18,999
I'm ready. I'll crush him this time.

28
00:03:22,065 --> 00:03:25,987
Don't remind me
of your ignominious defeat.

29
00:03:26,166 --> 00:03:29,187
You'll stay at my side
where I can see you.

30
00:03:29,363 --> 00:03:31,094
Father, please.

31
00:03:31,275 --> 00:03:36,833
No! This prey requires
a more experienced hunter.

32
00:03:45,769 --> 00:03:47,048
Steppenwolf.

33
00:03:48,271 --> 00:03:52,679
I look forward to adding
a new trophy to my collection.

34
00:04:03,911 --> 00:04:07,099
The radioactive hole is now only
a few hundred meters deep.

35
00:04:07,283 --> 00:04:09,712
But that's going to increase, and quickly.

36
00:04:09,890 --> 00:04:12,804
Shouldn't you be paging
your new best friend, the buckethead?

37
00:04:12,983 --> 00:04:15,412
I was just thinking about Orion.

38
00:04:22,854 --> 00:04:24,311
What's the matter?

39
00:04:29,910 --> 00:04:31,533
Fried.

40
00:04:31,891 --> 00:04:34,628
Must have been
the pulse from the explosion.

41
00:04:36,271 --> 00:04:38,380
We're on our own now.

42
00:04:39,329 --> 00:04:42,552
If the reactor melts through the top mantle,
we'll never stop it.

43
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:05,912
This will be good hunting.

44
00:05:16,901 --> 00:05:19,117
You picked the wrong time, pal.

45
00:05:24,131 --> 00:05:26,904
Para-Demons, attack!

46
00:05:53,187 --> 00:05:55,782
Jeez. We've got a meltdown
on Ayers lsland...

47
00:05:55,968 --> 00:05:59,155
a war at Sinnott Air Force Base.
What next?

48
00:06:13,207 --> 00:06:15,909
This wasn't in the forecast.

49
00:06:57,383 --> 00:06:59,220
- Look at that, Mommy.
- I know.

50
00:07:09,027 --> 00:07:11,042
Superman.

51
00:07:22,478 --> 00:07:25,108
Now, to the kill.

52
00:07:32,315 --> 00:07:34,885
Oh, my God!

53
00:07:47,747 --> 00:07:49,690
No!

54
00:08:29,837 --> 00:08:31,425
Stop him!

55
00:08:37,623 --> 00:08:41,723
Pull around for another shot.
This guy's about to be an oil slick.

56
00:09:03,238 --> 00:09:06,225
Looks like the big guy could use a hand.
Giacoia, move in!

57
00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:08,934
Come on.

58
00:09:20,617 --> 00:09:21,719
Thanks, inspector.

59
00:09:21,903 --> 00:09:24,641
Hey, don't you have a fire to put out?

60
00:11:15,072 --> 00:11:18,995
You're a magnificent opponent,
Superman.

61
00:11:19,173 --> 00:11:21,744
But even you must realize it's hopeless.

62
00:11:22,231 --> 00:11:23,688
Darkseid.

63
00:11:27,236 --> 00:11:30,009
I could easily destroy you now.

64
00:11:30,191 --> 00:11:33,556
And once you're gone,
the pathetic beings of this planet...

65
00:11:33,736 --> 00:11:36,201
won't have the will to resist me.

66
00:11:36,517 --> 00:11:39,147
The few who survive, that is.

67
00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:46,694
However, if you join me
as my loyal vassal...

68
00:11:46,874 --> 00:11:50,310
I could guarantee
a modicum of restraint.

69
00:11:52,157 --> 00:11:55,309
Think of it, Superman.
The power you have now...

70
00:11:55,494 --> 00:11:58,337
it's nothing compared
with what I'm offering you.

71
00:11:58,622 --> 00:12:00,873
You know I can't do that.

72
00:12:01,055 --> 00:12:02,678
Pity.

73
00:12:03,001 --> 00:12:08,381
Still, if you won't be my knight,
you will be my pawn.

74
00:12:09,987 --> 00:12:12,867
Citizens are warned to stay away
from Metropolis Plaza...

75
00:12:13,046 --> 00:12:15,546
where police are trying
to contain the situation—

76
00:12:15,723 --> 00:12:17,002
Gotta get down there.

77
00:12:17,182 --> 00:12:19,197
Whoa, cowgirl, what are you gonna do...

78
00:12:19,372 --> 00:12:22,216
hold a gun in one hand
and your lV in the other?

79
00:12:22,396 --> 00:12:25,938
—forces have been mobilized
and are en route to Metropolis.

80
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:27,909
Dan.

81
00:12:37,862 --> 00:12:40,493
Where's those choppers?
I need cover. Now!

82
00:13:14,149 --> 00:13:16,258
Outstanding.

83
00:13:28,330 --> 00:13:31,138
- Thanks, inspector.
- Get back!

84
00:13:34,829 --> 00:13:36,938
What are you doing?
This ain't no stunt show.

85
00:13:37,123 --> 00:13:39,303
I'm with the Planet.
I'm their photographer.

86
00:13:39,486 --> 00:13:42,057
That a fact?
Well, get ready to shoot.

87
00:13:45,674 --> 00:13:47,819
Hey, you overgrown parakeets...

88
00:13:48,002 --> 00:13:50,017
take a snort of this.

89
00:13:59,646 --> 00:14:01,932
Royer, Colletta, cover me!

90
00:14:10,455 --> 00:14:13,821
That's right, chief.
Turpin and his boys are holding their own.

91
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,145
Maybe even more than that.

92
00:14:20,812 --> 00:14:24,178
- What is it?
- It ain't no street sweeper.

93
00:14:46,290 --> 00:14:47,747
What is that thing?

94
00:14:47,923 --> 00:14:49,997
Oh, my Lord.

95
00:15:01,061 --> 00:15:02,519
Holy Joe.

96
00:15:27,303 --> 00:15:29,697
Okay, back off. I get the point.

97
00:15:30,396 --> 00:15:31,948
People of Earth...

98
00:15:32,134 --> 00:15:36,685
I am Darkseid, lord of Apokolips.

99
00:15:36,861 --> 00:15:38,627
Here is your savior...

100
00:15:38,807 --> 00:15:41,166
cowed and broken.

101
00:15:41,901 --> 00:15:43,916
I have crushed him as easily...

102
00:15:44,091 --> 00:15:46,863
as I have crushed all
who have dared to oppose me...

103
00:15:47,183 --> 00:15:49,612
throughout the cosmos.

104
00:15:50,207 --> 00:15:53,430
I am power unlike any you have known...

105
00:15:53,857 --> 00:15:58,266
absolute, infinite and unrelenting.

106
00:15:58,688 --> 00:16:04,104
You have no choice but to prepare
for a long, dark future as my subjects...

107
00:16:04,736 --> 00:16:06,644
and my slaves.

108
00:16:13,460 --> 00:16:16,091
- In a pig's eye!
- Yeah!

109
00:16:18,256 --> 00:16:21,207
This is our world, ugly.
You won't get it without a fight!

110
00:16:21,732 --> 00:16:23,498
You hear that, Darkseid?

111
00:16:23,678 --> 00:16:26,700
The people of Earth aren't like
your slaves on Apokolips.

112
00:16:27,084 --> 00:16:29,229
They don't take kindly to dictators.

113
00:16:29,622 --> 00:16:33,094
If they resist, I will not hesitate
to destroy them.

114
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,952
You want a piece of me?
Come on, come on, rockhead!

115
00:16:42,656 --> 00:16:45,429
- Jeez. Is he crazy?
- Yeah.

116
00:16:48,078 --> 00:16:50,673
Don't they know this is suicide?

117
00:16:51,171 --> 00:16:54,750
Better a quick death in battle
than a slow one under your heel.

118
00:16:55,551 --> 00:16:59,474
Darkseid, we've detected
military aircraft heading this way.

119
00:17:00,625 --> 00:17:03,196
I don't care how many crummy planets
you've conquered.

120
00:17:03,371 --> 00:17:05,350
You ain't getting this one.

121
00:17:11,018 --> 00:17:12,369
No!

122
00:17:28,604 --> 00:17:30,061
That's one for the home team.

123
00:17:34,582 --> 00:17:35,969
Let's finish it.

124
00:17:36,147 --> 00:17:39,749
Very well. This world dies now.

125
00:18:03,883 --> 00:18:05,411
Darkseid.

126
00:18:05,585 --> 00:18:08,986
High Father has decreed this planet
is under his protection.

127
00:18:09,687 --> 00:18:12,567
Any further aggression
will breach the peace treaty...

128
00:18:12,746 --> 00:18:17,119
and be considered an act of war
against New Genesis itself.

129
00:18:21,192 --> 00:18:24,379
The decision is yours, Darkseid.

130
00:18:26,613 --> 00:18:30,429
It is good to see you
after all these years, my son.

131
00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:34,841
I've observed your boldness and ferocity
for some time...

132
00:18:35,059 --> 00:18:37,690
not without undue pride.

133
00:18:38,397 --> 00:18:41,134
Though you're misguided in your loyalty...

134
00:18:41,316 --> 00:18:45,440
I won't quibble over
this insignificant speck in the universe.

135
00:18:46,217 --> 00:18:50,175
I would hate to spoil our reunion
with bloodshed.

136
00:18:51,638 --> 00:18:53,546
Return.

137
00:18:59,147 --> 00:19:03,449
Go on, you mangy buzzards.
And don't come back.

138
00:19:04,255 --> 00:19:07,170
Savor your moment of triumph,
Superman.

139
00:19:07,349 --> 00:19:11,272
But remember, victory has its price.

140
00:19:16,421 --> 00:19:17,451
Dan!

141
00:19:26,292 --> 00:19:28,093
Murderer!

142
00:20:05,949 --> 00:20:08,165
I'm sorry.

143
00:20:52,350 --> 00:20:54,601
Goodbye, old friend.

144
00:20:55,756 --> 00:20:59,951
In the end, the world
didn't really need a super man...

145
00:21:00,656 --> 00:21:02,671
just a brave one.
