A/N: If you haven't heard already, (What rock have you been living under, and can I join you?) Ben Affleck has been announced as Batman for Batman-Superman in 2015. There has been a lot of backlash with people being unhappy, mostly over his performance in Daredevil. There is even a petition to President Obama to make it illegal for Ben Affleck to star in a super-hero movie for the next 200 years, and that is not a joke, it is a real thing. Now, I was at first kinda confused about the pick, I like Ben Affleck he has been in some really good movies recently, like Argo and The Town, but I agree that Daredevil was terrible, however I do not think it was his fault. I blame the writers, the director and the executive producers, it is their fault that the movie was horrible. I have decided to become pro-Batffleck because of the immense hate that he has received on the internet. He is a good actor and I am very willing to give him a chance in this roll, and let's face it, I'm going to see this movie regardless of whether it looks good or bad.

SPOILERS FOR JUSTICE LEAGUE #23 AHEAD: I also just finished reading Trinity War, and I have to say that overall I liked it, but there were parts I didn't like for instance that I thought it didn't focus on the individual characters enough, and instead focused on the group. I did however like the story and the introduction of the Crime Syndicate, I didn't like that Cyborg is going to be used against the world, but I did like that the Atom is actually Atomica, and the mole.

Now starting in Chapter 6 the team dynamic is really going to change, as one the heroes inside the team is a mole with his/her own agenda. But before that, let's see them battle Darkseid.

Tales of the Justice League

Chapter 4: War Pt. 2

Atlantic City:

"The time has come," Darkseid spoke in a deep voice, "Your planet is now doomed."

"Yeah?" Lantern flew towards Darkseid, created a huge hammer, swung at him with it. As it collided Darkseid's arm the construct was immediately shattered, "Is that all you got," Hal was blown back, and as he got up he flew into the air again, created several mini-guns, and fired them all simultaneously at him. This had no effect, "Come on, there has to be something that will weaken him."

"Easy," Aquaman spoke charging forward, "Hitting him harder," His fist collided with Darkseid's face, pushing him back only inches. On the blow back Darkseid grabbed Aquaman's arm and flung him far from the battlefield.

A bright blue and red blur sped towards the God, knocked him back several feet.

"Look it's Superman!" shouted one of the bystanders as they were running away, "We're saved!"

"Lantern," Superman said, "Focus on the flying things, Manhunter you and I will take on the big guy."

"I'm not taking orders from…" Lantern started, but he was silenced by a look from Superman.

"Flash, keep Darkseid distracted so we can take him out," Martian Manhunter said in an unnervingly calm manner.

"He's with me," Superman said, as Flash started to look increasingly confused.

The Flash ran up, tapped Darkseid, "Hey! UGLY!" Flash shouted, realizing that this was one of his stupider plans. Bolts from his eyes started to chase the Flash, "Crap," the bolts followed him everywhere he ran, but as he ran by a large building they made contact with that building. The building crumbled to ash, and the Flash was flung by the blowback of the explosion. Two flying black objects exploded right next to Darkseid's eyes blinding him.

"AAHH!" A raven haired woman roared beheading a para-demon, as a trident flew through the air impaling several para-demons.

Batman appeared on the ground next to Superman, and began barking orders.

"Lantern, Flash," Batman spoke in his usual taciturn manner, "Get the civilians clear of the battle. Superman, Diana, take him out. Orange and green, I don't know who you are, but you seem to be on our side, so take out as many of the para-demons as you can."

"What are you going to do?" Flash asked.

"I'm going to reverse the process that got them here," Batman began.

"Yeah we don't have time for this," Lantern started, "Let's go." He and Flash ran off to save the civilians.

Superman and Diana flew at Darkseid, fists first knocking him back what seemed like a mile back into the ocean.

While the battle was raging outside, Batman crept into a large fortress. Silently making his way to the control room, not disturbing a single being in the fortress. Finally at the control room, he saw a large screen with alien symbols that were unknown to him, it took him a long time, but eventually he was able to reverse the program that got these alien invaders here.

Back at the battle, Superman and Diana, were fighting Darkseid, pummelling him back into the ocean, but their headway was not much considering the nearly millions of para-demons attacking the planet.

Meanwhile Green Lantern and the Flash were saving civilians from the ash and destruction of the warzone.

"Don't touch me!" one of the women in the building yelled at Green Lantern.

"Don't worry ma'am," Flash spoke diplomatically, "We're only here to help get you out of here."

"Step right up and get your life saved," Lantern shouted ushering civilians onto the large plane he had created, "Come on, let's go."

"Can you stop joking," Flash said gathering a half dozen more people, "This is serious, Lantern."

"Yeah whatever," Hal said, rolling his eyes.

A large boom was heard and the invading creatures were sucked back into a wormhole like portal. As this happened, Darkseid attempted to hold on to a piece of debris, but was still sucked back into the void. The invasion was over, and the Earth was still there.

"You guys saved us!" a man shouted raising his fists, "They're heroes!"

"Do you always get this kind of reception?" Diana asked curiously.

"Yes,"

"No,"

Superman and Green Lantern gave opposite answers then stared at each other. The tide rolled out and once again Batman's unconscious body was visible.

"Batman!" Diana and Superman flew over to Batman to see if he was still alive.

After a few seconds he spit water out of his lungs and opened his eyes.

"Did we win?" Batman asked in much less menacing voice.

"You always gotta be the hero," Superman smiled.

"Touché," Batman responded hoarsely.

Watchtower:

"Well," Superman spoke at the large round table of the newly constructed space station, "The world thinks that we're a team now, and the U.S. government, with the help of Wayne Enterprises," Superman took a quick glance at Batman, "they built us this station, calling it The Watchtower. But the question is, which of us, if any, are going to stay?"

"I have nothing else to do," Diana, now called the world as Wonder Woman, said confidently.

"I will stay as well," J'onn spoke in a terrifyingly calm manner.

"I have a lot to do," Hal started, "But I just got fired, so I think that I'll stay."

"I will stay as a sign that Atlantis does not seek war," Aquaman said majestically.

"I'll stay too," Flash said, then adding an afterthought, "Maybe it'll get the police off my back too."

"Batman," Superman and the rest of the team turned to face him, "What about you?"

"I'll stay," he stood up facing the entire, "But on one condition, I lead the team."

"HAHAHA!" Green Lantern burst out laughing, "Wait you're serious?"

"It was him that presented us with the winning strategy," Aquaman said in support of Batman's condition.

"I was quite surprised that any man could survive on Themyscira, but he could," Diana said, "He is a warrior in the truest sense."

"Great," Lantern said under his breath, "Now I'm a member of a team lead by a maniac in a bat costume."

"Welcome to the Justice League," Superman said.

Batcave:

"You wanted to see me," Superman walked toward where Bruce was sitting at the computer.

"Yes," he said turning his chair towards him, "I don't trust them."

"This is why I hate working with you," Superman sighed, "You're always so paranoid, Bruce."

"Think about," Bruce stood, matching his height with Clark's, "Aquaman and Martian Manhunter appear right when we needed them too, Wonder Woman could be a spy for the Amazons, sent here to infiltrate and conquer the outside world. Flash channels extra-dimensional power, he could be easily taken advantage of and his powers could be used for destruction, and Green Lantern is part of an intergalactic police force, one that could easily be used against earth in an invasion."

"And what about me?" Superman raised an eyebrow.

"Against my better judgement," Batman sighed, "I'm choosing to put my trust in you.

"None of these people are traitors Bruce," and with that Superman left the cave, leaving Batman to ponder Superman's reaction.

Undisclosed Location:

"So," A gruff voice spoke in the darkness, "It appears the world now worships these heroes as gods, but even a god has a weakness, and those weaknesses can be easily exploited. But if the heroes have formed a team, then so must I."

NEXT: SECRET ORIGINS

A/N: So next chapter I am going to do 250-300 words on the origin of each member of the Justice League. I hope you liked this chapter, and feel free to review!
