Who would win?
176
00:09:50,493 --> 00:09:52,962
In Forager's hive,
there is a similar question.
177
00:09:53,029 --> 00:09:56,231
Bugs versus New Gods.
Who would win?
178
00:09:56,298 --> 00:09:58,601
DICK: Man and Superman.
Bugs and New Gods.
179
00:09:58,668 --> 00:10:02,072
Balance is key for
both species to co-exist.
180
00:10:02,138 --> 00:10:06,676
But when balance is lost,
when one species grows
stronger than another,
181
00:10:06,743 --> 00:10:11,248
it rarely works out well
for the weaker group.
182
00:10:11,314 --> 00:10:15,884
DICK:50,000 years ago,
humans shared the world
with another species.
183
00:10:15,951 --> 00:10:17,187
The Neanderthal.
184
00:10:17,254 --> 00:10:20,757
Humans must've hada genetic advantage over them.
185
00:10:20,823 --> 00:10:23,725
They thrived and outgrew
Neanderthals in number.
186
00:10:23,792 --> 00:10:25,729
(SCREAMING)
187
00:10:25,796 --> 00:10:30,796
While the details are unclear,
Homo Neanderthalensis was
driven to extinction,
188
00:10:31,233 --> 00:10:33,503
while Homo Sapiens survived.
189
00:10:33,570 --> 00:10:38,007
Then, whether through
random mutation, evolution,
or something else entirely,
190
00:10:38,074 --> 00:10:42,244
a new species
of human emerged.
191
00:10:42,311 --> 00:10:44,547
The first Meta-human.
192
00:10:44,614 --> 00:10:47,183
Now humans share the world
with Metas.
193
00:10:47,250 --> 00:10:50,653
And we find ourselves
grappling with
the big question.
194
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,558
Can we all achieve balance?
195
00:10:55,625 --> 00:10:57,794
Greetings, Darkseid.
196
00:10:57,860 --> 00:11:01,164
Greetings, Savage.
What news?
197
00:11:01,231 --> 00:11:06,169
Our plan progresses.
But an outside player
threatens Earth.
198
00:11:06,236 --> 00:11:11,236
To protect our investment,
I require resources.
199
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:19,082
Our arrangement grants you
this privilege.
200
00:11:19,149 --> 00:11:23,185
The might of Apokolips
is yours to unleash.
201
00:11:23,252 --> 00:11:25,521
Send your request.
202
00:11:25,588 --> 00:11:27,389
Our partnership
is strengthened
203
00:11:27,456 --> 00:11:30,326
by your benevolence
and wisdom, Darkseid.
204
00:11:30,392 --> 00:11:35,331
Indeed, Savage. Indeed.
205
00:11:35,397 --> 00:11:37,867
Sending the requisite details.
206
00:11:37,934 --> 00:11:40,036
CASSANDRA:
In his 50,000 years,
207
00:11:40,103 --> 00:11:44,306
Vandal's ambitions
have touched
all of human civilization.
208
00:11:44,373 --> 00:11:46,042
But in a single day,
209
00:11:46,109 --> 00:11:50,346
the quest of another would
change his purpose forever.
210
00:11:50,412 --> 00:11:52,248
His name was Darkseid.
211
00:11:52,315 --> 00:11:56,552
In our history's 13th century,
he came from the planet
Apokolips,
212
00:11:56,619 --> 00:11:59,722
to claim the Earth
for his empire.
213
00:11:59,789 --> 00:12:03,059
But Vandal, known in this era
as Genghis Khan,
214
00:12:03,126 --> 00:12:06,095
ruler of the largest empire
in human history,
215
00:12:06,162 --> 00:12:08,564
had his own plans
for his world.
216
00:12:08,631 --> 00:12:10,033
(HORSE NEIGHING)
217
00:12:10,099 --> 00:12:12,302
Backed by two of
his gifted sons,
218
00:12:12,369 --> 00:12:17,105
the great Khan
waged war against
Darkseid's superior forces.
219
00:12:17,172 --> 00:12:20,410
And were easily defeated.
220
00:12:20,477 --> 00:12:25,181
But not before impressing
Darkseid with their unique
genetic gifts.
221
00:12:25,248 --> 00:12:30,248
DESAAD:
Sire. Sturdy stock
for the anti-life equation.
222
00:12:30,453 --> 00:12:33,255
CASSANDRA:
Eyes opened by
his opponent's power,
223
00:12:33,322 --> 00:12:35,191
and the fact of his existence,
224
00:12:35,258 --> 00:12:39,362
Vandal seized the moment
and made a proposition.
225
00:12:39,429 --> 00:12:44,429
Together, Savage and Darkseid
would conquer the galaxy.
226
00:12:44,934 --> 00:12:47,003
Intrigued by
this brazen human,
227
00:12:47,070 --> 00:12:49,471
and the gifted armies
he might raise,
228
00:12:49,538 --> 00:12:51,374
Darkseid agreed.
229
00:12:51,441 --> 00:12:54,177
Both men knowing
that when the galaxy fell,
230
00:12:54,244 --> 00:12:58,280
Earth and Apokolips
would wage a final battle.
231
00:12:58,347 --> 00:13:02,384
Winner take all.
232
00:13:02,451 --> 00:13:04,153
JACE:
(LAUGHING) Then he said,

00:13:04,220 --> 00:13:07,257
"Your experience

00:13:12,428 --> 00:13:13,796

00:13:13,863 --> 00:13:17,500
I'm only 34. Is that when
you become a "ma'am"?
238
00:13:17,566 --> 00:13:20,035
Oh, I am not touching
that one.
239
00:13:20,102 --> 00:13:22,772
Kids today.
240
00:13:22,839 --> 00:13:24,441
How are they doing, Jeff?
241
00:13:24,508 --> 00:13:27,711
Getting more comfortable
with their abilities
every day.
242
00:13:27,778 --> 00:13:31,413
Helga, I'm sorry I haven't
been able to get you
more time with them.
243
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:32,682
It's just--
244
00:13:32,748 --> 00:13:34,984
Jeff, please. It's all right.
245
00:13:35,051 --> 00:13:37,687
I understand your friend's
point of view.
246
00:13:37,753 --> 00:13:40,489
You people have
more experience training
247
00:13:40,556 --> 00:13:42,292
Meta-kinders than I do.
248
00:13:42,359 --> 00:13:46,095
You were kind to even try
to keep me and Brion
in Halo's lives.
249
00:13:46,162 --> 00:13:50,962
Hey. Who says
we're done trying?
250
00:13:54,403 --> 00:13:55,838
DICK:
The Art of Warsays,
251
00:13:55,905 --> 00:13:59,976
"Oh, divine art,

00:14:00,043 --> 00:14:02,779
"Through you we learn
to be invisible."
253
00:14:02,846 --> 00:14:07,846
Tonight, you'll choose a word
that will help you become
invisible to our enemies.
254
00:14:08,584 --> 00:14:12,655
Tonight, you choose

Yournom de guerre.
256
00:14:15,225 --> 00:14:18,794
Yeah, those are Dick's fancy
words for "code name".
257
00:14:18,861 --> 00:14:23,432
(LAUGHS) Ah, yes.
Our superhero names.
258
00:14:23,499 --> 00:14:24,867
It sounds a little silly,
259
00:14:24,934 --> 00:14:26,802
but you need one for
our field comms to keep
260
00:14:26,869 --> 00:14:28,605
your identity secret
from the bad guys.
261
00:14:28,672 --> 00:14:31,541
I'm Halo. It was
the first name you gave me,
and I like it.

00:14:31,608 --> 00:14:34,310
I'm Violet at home.
I'm Halo during a mission.
Halo.

00:14:34,377 --> 00:14:38,814
Halo is a beautiful name
and describes
your powers well.
264
00:14:38,881 --> 00:14:41,717
I will take a name
that describes my powers, too.

00:14:41,784 --> 00:14:44,553
From now on, call me...
266
00:14:44,620 --> 00:14:46,355
Hot Lava.

00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:50,526
What? In my new

I bring the hotness,
do I not? (LAUGHS)

I'm not calling you Hot Lava.

00:14:58,634 --> 00:14:59,802
Agreed.

(CHUCKLING) All right.
All right.

00:15:02,371 --> 00:15:03,973
Seriously, then.
276
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,976
Dr. Jace had a name
for the powers
in my bloodline.
277
00:15:07,043 --> 00:15:09,446
She called it, uh, Geo-Force.
278

Huh. Geo-Force.
That's a bit less
of a stripper name.

Vandal once wrote,
293
00:15:59,195 --> 00:16:02,398
"It is better to capture
an army than to destroy it."
294
00:16:02,465 --> 00:16:06,535
He had learned that more
can be gained controlling
men in peace
295
00:16:06,602 --> 00:16:08,771
than in the chaos of war.
296
00:16:08,838 --> 00:16:12,609
For war is death.
Death is waste.
297
00:16:12,676 --> 00:16:16,912
And life should not be
wasted while it may yet
be controlled

00:16:16,979 --> 00:16:19,315

The control diadem will
make you one with War World.

be no more than a drop

And the ocean will
move for you.

yes.
