The year of Season 1 was 2014, so it became 2015 in the Season 1 finale. This makes the year future Zatanna comes from 2020.
The Lone Hero
Chapter 1:
...5+ years ago...
The Team was assembled in the training room per Batman's orders. The entire Justice League were collected there as well.
"Batman, is something wrong?" Aqualad asked, speaking up as the Team leader.
Batman looked to the rest of the League before addressing the Team of teenaged superheroes. He waved his hand through the air and a holo-keyboard appeared. He started typing and a holo-screen appeared.
"For the past 2 months we've been scanning a... blip in the space/time continuum," said Batman, bringing up an image of a soundwave that spiked in several places "We've recently been able to put a pod through the anomaly. We got these images,"
The holo-screen showed a depressing image of a city street. It was raining and no one was in sight.
"Uh, I'm not seeing the point here, Bats," said Kid Flash, crossing his arms.
Batman zoomed in on a newspaper stand. The date on one of the papers said August 9th, 2020.
"This anomaly leads to the future," said the Dark Knight.
The Team looked awestruck at the idea of a way to the future.
"How did the blip open?" Kid Flash asked, being the science geek.
"From what we can tell, someone, approximately 3 years in the future, began doing experiments in time-travel to come to our present," said Batman "We have a theory why they never completed,"
"Because meddling with the timeline is bad news?" said Artemis, arms crossed.
"No... because they were most likely murdered," said Batman in a slightly stronger voice, typing on the holo-keyboard.
The screen showed an image of a large group of the world's worst villains on a political stage and seemed to be... ordering all the civilians. They were ruling...
"In the next few years... the villains win," said the Dark Knight in a stone voice.
The Team were shocked and looked horrified.
