This is a flashback

I'm just here to remind you that I was a nice guy.

Why does your mouth look weird?

Oh it could look a lot weirder!

Ha ha! Now that Superman's dead I can rob whoever I want!

I heard that!

Oh no! I hope you're not sending me to jail!

Nope! You're gonna be bait.

Whaaaaat?

Ooo a bad guy! Time for my munchies!

Noooooo!

Gotcha! Who are you working for?!

I aint tellin!

Come on! Pretty please?

Okay!

You seeing this, Alfred?

What does it mean?

I don't know. I'm sure we don't need to worry about it.

Meanwhile, in Themyscira!

What is going on?

The mother box has been activated!

The bad guys are coming for it!

Super Villain Landing!

My name is Steppenwolf

I am the biggest baddest villain of all time!

Give me my mommy box!

No! Go away!

Stop playing hard to get!

You'll never get away with this!

Very poor choice of words

Because I did in fact just get away with it!

Well we're screwed.

Shouldn't we do what Diana did and leave the island?

No.

Maybe try and help save the world??

No.

We'll just light a building on fire. She'll know what to do.

Uh oh!

Hey Batman! What are you doing? Are you building a quinjet?

What? NO!

This is completely different!

It's a BAT jet.

Bruce we have a problem! Walk with me by the lake. I have to tell you a story.

Once upon a time, there was a bad guy named Steppenwolf.

Everyone fought him. There was even a green lantern!

Who? [It's not important]

Anyway. They took away his mother boxes and he went kind of crazy.

He swore to come back some day. Well he's back!

And he already has one of the mother boxes!

And if he gets all three we're in trouble!

It's a good thing there are two mother boxes left.

That oughta give us enough time to establish a solid crew over the next few years.

We only have an hour and a half.

Well poop, Diana!

I guess we'll have to rush some character introductions then!

Hey Aquaman! The bad guys are coming.

You wanna team up?

No! Go away!

Hey Cyborg! The bad guys are coming!

You wanna team up?

No. Go away.

Hey Flash! The bad guys are coming!

You wanna team up

YES!

Alright! You ready to fight?

Oh I've never done that before.

Well we're gonna die.

AaaaaaaaaaaGH!

Puny fish people!

And that's Mommy Box Number 2!

This has been really easy.

Weeeeeeeee

Oh dear!

Now what are we gonna do?

You're gonna go stop him!

Yeah! And you and your army are gonna help too right?

No.

So the three of us are all that stand in Steppenwolf's way.

Make that four.

Wow! What made you change your mind?

I am contractually obligated.

Alright! let's go kick Steppenwolf's butt!

This is not kicking Steppenwolf's butt!

I've got it!

Pathetic.

Uh oh! We're all gonna die!

If only there was a super hero that could magically control the water!

Perhaps I could be of some assistance!

My man!

Cyborg, use your Iron Man powers and get us out of here!

Hey! I didn't mean just you!

You're welcome by the way

Oh and Steppenwolf has the second mother box now

How are we going to find the last box?

I have it right here.

But how are we gonna beat Steppenwolf? He just kicked all of our butts

I have a plan.

We're gonna bring Superman back to life!

Yay!

Absolutely not! Have you ever seen Frankenstein?

She's right. It's a bad idea.

We're gonna use science! Not some silly wishing stone!

AAAooow!

[my bat lungs] This reminds me of the first Avengers

[coughing] When they were all fighting each other before they decided to fight together...

I wonder who wrote that

Now lets go dig up a dead body!

and by us I mean you two.

Alright! We've got one dead alien

One mother box.

And one little touch!

Odensleep!

*yawn* Oh geez!

How long was I out?

Almost two years!

And Batman let your mother get kicked out of her house!

Hey hey, buddy!

*bat-slapped*

You did what?!

You wanna help us fight an alien that's trying to take over the world?

It's not the same alien that killed you.

It's a totally different one.

You wanna die?

O! M! G!

Are you serious right now? Is that my boyfriend!?

Bae!

Wow! I can't believe your body didn't rot!

Let's get out of here!

Well this couldn't get any worse.

OOOooooo!

Looks like someone left the last mommy box just sitting here!

Bye bye now!

Well we dead.

Wow! What are these?

Those are abs.

So are you like gonna go be a hero now?

Nah.

That's dumb! You're dumb!

You go be a hero now!

Fine! Geez.

With these three Mommy Boxes...

We can now terraform the planet for

Darksei...

I mean for Thano...

I mean for ME!

Looks like Steppenwolf started his thing.

He's in Russia.

How long do we have?

A couple of hours.

How are we gonna get to the other side of the planet in only a few hours?

Don't think about it. The writers clearly didn't.

Ha ha! There's no way the good guys can stop me now!

We're here!

Dang it! Get them demon wasp thingies!

Alright Justice League

Let's show'em what we can do!

Trident! Triden! Hair toss!

Running! Running! Exploding!

Guns! Guns! Shooting!

Alright Everyone! Let's take down Steppenwolf!

Remember we have to work together..

I'll just do it myself!

I said we have to work together!

Alright! Fine!

Alright everyone! Do your special moves!

Trident Stab!

Freeze breath!

Haaaaaaaaaa

Slow mo Sword!

Science Strength!!!

Hopeful Staring!

Sexy Man Pose!

Aaaaaa Too Sexy!

Really? That was it?

kind of anticlimactic

he he. yep.

Great job, everyone!

Now we are finally a team!

Actually I'm gonna quit.

Hey Deadpool I mean Deathstroke!

You wanna start a legion of doom?

I'd rather have the Snyder Cut.

Oooooo! That sounds craaaaaaazy!
