Superman flung himself into Lex Luthor's chest, his fists dented Luthor's large suit of armor. "This costs money, you know Superman?" Lex said, tensed, pulling out a spear from a holster on his suit's back.
This was no ordinary spear, it was a kryptonite spear. The green glowing stone which was attached to the spear's tip, forced Superman to tire out from his attacks and fall onto the street. "Now, you will bow to me Superman…" Lex smirked, slowly rising the spear for the killing blow.
"No, I don't think so Luthor!" Superman shouted, using the last of his strength, he shot his heat vision from his enraged blue eyes at Luthor.
"No, my suit!" Lex cried, his large armored suit had smoke coming from its center piece, where Superman had fired his heat vision. Lex attempted to get out of his suit, but failed as it only fell hard onto the ground. Superman, still weak, stood up and grabbed the Kryptonite spear, throwing it behind him.
"Batman, after we finish off the Legion of Doom, take this back to the Batcave and destroy it," Ordered the Man of Steel through his comlink.
"Alright," grunted Batman, who fell onto the street after taking a crowbar to the face from Joker.
Superman headed towards Luthor, he could feel his strength slowly coming back as he was further away from the kryptonite. Superman tore Lex's suit in half, revealing the normal sized man himself. Before Lex could he even get up to his feet, Superman gripped his shirt, lifted him up.
"You're going to pay for what you did Luthor! I'm even considering taking you and your Legion of Doom to the Phantom Zone," Superman smirked.
"You wouldn't dare!" Lex spat, trying to get out of Superman's grip. Superman turned around and threw Luthor at burning car.
"You will tell me who set up this club of yours Luthor, and why you decided to attack the President of the United States and destroy the Hall of Justice!" Superman flew over to Lex, gripping his neck.
"Fine, I-I-I'll tell you! Just let me go," Luthor choked, Superman dropped him. Lex grasped for air, and began coughing, it didn't take long until Lex began talking.
Batman flung a few of his batarangs at the Joker, dodging the Clown Prince of Crime's own weapons.
"Oh Batsy, you're getting slow, ever think about retiring?" cackled Joker, firing a few shots from his pistol. Batman leaped behind some rubble from the destroyed building that used to be the Hall of Justice. Batman head the chattering of Joker's dencher bombs and leaped over the rubble, as they began to get closer to him. As Batman ran towards Joker, the dencher bombs exploded behind him.
"I have no need to think of retiring Joker, I'm still in my prime!" Batman exclaimed, punching Joker in the face. The Joker fell hard onto the stairs of the destroyed Hall of Justice.
"Why Joker, why would you do this?" Batman glared down at his struggling enemy.
"For the chaos of course!" Joke laughed, blood oozed from his mouth which stained his yellow teeth to red.
"No, this isn't like you! Why are you here with them, and why did you do it?" Batman urged. Picking up Joker and slamming him into half broken pillar.
"Now Batman, why would I spoil the surprise for you and your friends," Joker smirked. Batman couldn't handle Joker anymore, and started beating him against the pillar, eventually breaking it when he kick the Joker in his chest. Joker laid over the crumbled remains of the pillar, Batman stood over him, ready to beat him again.
"Fine! I'll tell you since you wanna know so bad!" Joker screamed, flinching as Batman stood over him.
Wonder Woman was flying above her colleagues, holding Cheetah by her neck, and punching her over and over again in her face.
"I'm not telling you anything Diana!" Cheetah hissed through clenched teeth. She clawed at Wonder Woman's arms furiously, but nothing happened.
"Then I'll make sure Superman takes care of you for me, maybe he'll send you to the phantom zone," Wonder Woman smirked, throwing Cheetah down to the same car where Superman had captured Lex Luthor, and where Batman was leading Joker to.
As Wonder Woman softly landed behind Batman and Superman, Martian Manhunter appeared behind the group of villains, throwing Ma'alefa'ak into them. Martian Manhunter stood alongside his allies, the four of them waited for Aquaman to arrive with Black Manta, and Green Lantern and Flash to arrive with Sinestro and Reverse Flash. Suddenly Black Manta came out of nowhere, rolling across the street by the car his team was captured at. Aquaman leaped onto Black Manta's chest, holding his trident under his helmet.
"Give up Black Manta, you've lost!" The King of Atlantis scowled, getting off of Black Manta, and pulling him up to bring him over to the burning car.
Sinestro came crashing down from the sky, cracking the street where he landed. Green Lantern slowly hovered over him, picking up the knocked out alien, and putting him alongside the members of the Legion of Doom.
"Where's Flash?" Green Lantern asked, looking at his team mates. Batman shrugged his shoulders.
"He's really slow for the world's fastest man alive," Aquaman crossed arms, impatiently waiting for the Flash.
"Wait, I hear something, it's like an incoming windstorm," Wonder Woman said, looking toward the violent swooshing trees.
"Then he's here," Martian Manhunter confirmed, sighing in relief as he saw Flash arrive with Reverse Flash trapped in some type of putty.
"So you decided to use the new gadget I made for?" smirked Batman. As Flash dropped Reverse Flash, the putty spreaded across all of the captured Legion of Doom members.
"Have any of them confessed yet?" Flash wondered, looking upon the group of Villains.
Superman nodded, "Lex Luthor and Joker told Batman and I their plan, but i'm still thinking about sending them into the Phantom Zone."
"Wait, Wonder Woman, use you Lasso of Truth to see if they're lying to us," Batman said, focusing his gaze on the Legion of Doom. Diana nodded, pulling her Lasso off of her belt, getting ready to the throw it over the villains. A bright light flashed from the the Legion of Doom.
"Maybe you'll catch us next time!" Laughed Lex Luthor, instantly the villains were gone. They'd just vanished in front of the eyes of the Justice League, leaving the heroes confused about what just happened.
"Look," Batman knelt down, picking up a small remote with only one button. He stood back up and showed it to the Justice League.
"I found where Luthor was sitting, he must've been hiding it," Batman glared at the remote.
"They planned to be captured, and we fell for it!" Superman rolled up his hands into fists, he felt angry enough to disintegrate everything around him with his heat vision, but held himself together.
"It's fine Clark," Bruce said, "I'm going to take this to the Batcave and observe it some more.
"You're going to study a remote with one button?" Diana asked with a raised brow.
"You'd be surprised how many secrets only one small object can hold sometimes Diana," Batman assured her, "Trust me," He looked at the rest of the League, "While I'm Gotham, I want you to recruit new members for the Justice League."
"For what?" Arthur questioned, slamming his trident into the ground and crossing his arms.
"Because seven of us can't do this forever without eventually getting weak and tired," Batman said, aiming his grappling gun at a building, and disappeared into the distance.
"Bruce is right, we need to expand our numbers in the Justice League," Diana said. The rest of the League nodded their heads in agreement.
"Alright, we'll start recruiting tomorrow," Superman said. "Now all of you, go home and get rest." Superman flew away, heading back to Metropolis. Wonder Woman flew to the direction of Themyscira, Aquaman headed for the closest body water, Martian Manhunter turned himself invisible and flew away, Green Lantern shot himself up into sky until he was just just a green sparkle and headed for Coast City, while The Flash dashed over to Central City.
