Go ahead, run.

But when we catch you, we're going to
break those skinny legs of yours!

And stomp on your ugly face!

Leave him alone!
He didn't do anything to you!

Huh?

I said, leave him alone.

Bitch!

I'll hit you again, Dmitri Radmanovich.

If you weren't a girl...

Come on.

Are they gone?

I can't keep saving you like this,
solnyshka.

You have to stop running
and find the courage to face them.

It's... It's not like that, Svetlana.

I didn't run because I was afraid of them.

I ran because I was afraid to hurt them.

Have I ever lied to you, Svetlana?

How is this possible?

I don't know.

Something has been happening inside me
for weeks now.

Something incredible.

Such incredible powers, solnyshka.

You have to give them to the state.

The people need you.

Extraordinary reports
coming out of the Soviet Union.

Tales of a being, allegedly alien in origin,

with powers and abilities
far beyond those of mortal men.

This footage released by the Russians
appears to show the Soviet Superman in action.

If true, this could be the beginning
of a new kind of arms race.

This is undoubtedly mere propaganda,
tailored to send ripples of fear into the West.

And in these treacherous times,
fear is something we must never surrender to.

This is George Taylor saying goodnight
and may your tomorrows all...

...Intelligence people
are saying that it isn't a hoax.

As I said, Mr. President,
I anticipated this.

Of course I understand your concern,
but I assure you

the Luthor Company has
this under control.

We'll find out soon enough if he's real.

All I need is a hundred technicians,
20 million dollars,

and permission to drop
a satellite on Metropolis.

Drop a satellite on Metropolis?

- Put eight million lives in jeopardy?
- Eisenhower.

Are you out of your damn mind?
I should lock you up for even suggesting it!

I have to go, sir.

- Something more urgent just came up.
- Don't you dare hang...

I'd say extremely urgent.

We gather here today
to celebrate a glorious achievement.

The largest hydroelectric station
in the world.

Ten thousand of our bravest, strongest men
worked ceaselessly to construct it.

But even with their sweat and toil,

this dam would never have been completed
in so short a time

if not for the efforts
of a truly extraordinary young man.

A young man I have come to look upon
as both a great Soviet hero and a son.

Comrades, I give you...

Superman.

Can't I just smile and wave?

We all must make sacrifices
for the greater good, comrade.

But this display...

You are a symbol for all we aspire to be.

The people need to hear your voice.

Your words are extremely kind,
Premier Stalin.

Perhaps too kind.

I am no hero.

I am merely a servant of the State,
who seeks, as you do...

to better the lives of our citizens.

Yes, I work to protect them.

Perhaps inspire them in some small way.

But make no mistake, I didn't build this dam,
the Soviet people did.

And may it stand forever as an example
of what we, as a people, can achieve here,

and across the world,

so long as we remain united by our ideals.

Colonel Mazov!

- What is it?
- The Zenit satellite, sir. It's fallen out of orbit.

What? But that's...

What's the trajectory?

North America, sir.
The Eastern Seaboard of the United States.

Look! Up in the sky!

I don't blame those among you that fear me,
for you've been taught to fear all your lives.

But if you learn nothing else today,
learn this:

We in the Soviet Union do not oppose
the citizens of the United States.

We only oppose the government
that oppresses you.

Our sole desire is for peace and equality
among all men.

And what about women?

Lois Lane. Daily Planet.

Lois Lane Luthor.

I know of you...

and your capitalist husband.

If you're really serious
about us wanting to learn about you...

How about an interview?

The press is the enemy of the people.

Why would I let you twist my words
and use them against me?

So the great Soviet Superman
is afraid of the free expression of ideas?

- She's got him there.
- Yeah.

Makes sense.

You really shouldn't smoke, Mrs. Luthor.

This is the same brand my doctor smokes.

So you're not afraid of the American press.

I'm not afraid of anything.

Have you ever considered that a lack of fear
can lead to arrogance, recklessness?

Eisenhower's saying your people
sabotaged their own satellite.

- We did no such thing.
- So you could come flying in to save the day.

You have to admit
it is the perfect propaganda opportunity.

Is it propaganda to envision a world where
the poor and afflicted can be lifted out of misery,

where the working classes can rise together
and reshape humanity for generations?

You're a super-alien.
What could you possibly know about humanity?

Until I was 12 years old, Mrs. Luthor...

Lane. I'm not an appendage.

Until I was 12 years old, Miss Lane,
I was as human as you are.

This planet is the only home
I've ever known.

And I would sacrifice anything
to protect her.

The United States already is the protector
of the free world,

the bulwark of liberty and equality.

Your bulwark was built on the backs
of slaves and immigrants.

And it hasn't changed much, has it?

While you and your privileged kind live
in luxury,

all across your country people
are struggling,

suffering, dying.

I can't deny that there's a gap

between the American dream
and the American reality.

But there are some massive gaps in your
utopian vision that need addressing as well.

What is this?

Proof of the repression in the U.S.S.R.

The Gulags.

Mass executions of people
unfortunate enough to be labeled dissidents

by your beloved Premier Stalin.

Lies.

I would certainly know
if such things existed.

Would you?

Welcome, Superman.

We weren't expecting you.

I'm sure you weren't.

Shielded by lead to prevent me
from discovering it.

You are the Superman.

They say you can hear a leaf fall
a thousand miles away.

And you never heard our cries?

It is you.

At last.

Svetlana?

I... I could have died...

should have died long ago.

But I held on for you.

I never stopped believing
that you would come one day to liberate us.

That we'd see each other one last time.

But what did you do
to deserve such a punishment?

I knew you...

before.

I'm so sorry, Lana.

I didn't know.

Don't blame yourself.

You are...

You have always been...

my hope.

My savior.

But I am no...

This is a world where the strong rule,

and you are the strongest of all of us.

Remember when we were small, solnyshka?

How I used to save you from those bullies?

Now you must save all of us.

Use your power to...

Millions of people dead.

Explain that to me, Premier Stalin.

Help me to understand how...

why you could do this.

I tried to protect you, my son.

To keep you untainted
by the grim realities of governance.

I asked you why.

Because, as much as it breaks my heart...

it is necessary.

How could such atrocities be necessary?

What you call atrocities...

I call terrible necessities.

For our vision of a better world to succeed,
we must weed out the insurgents.

The weak.

The ones whose minds
have been poisoned against the State.

They're human beings.

You're like a blind kitten, comrade.

So good, so pure, but you just can't see.

You must understand...

You must believe that everything I've done

has been for the ultimate good of the people
and the welfare of the Soviet State.

The State's welfare or your welfare?

They're one and the same.

We need to close the gap
between our highest communist ideals

and the cruel reality I saw today.

Then I urge you to try.

But you'll quickly find
that the only way to achieve that goal

is to follow my example.

The unpleasant truth, my son,

is that certain people must die
in order for the system to work.

Wise words.

What now?

Now?

Now I save the world.

You might consider cutting down
on those four course dinners, Lex.

You're getting a little thick
around the middle.

Vanity is more your style, my dear.

Unfortunately, darling,

we live in a world where people talk
as much about my looks as my work.

While a man can be fat or skinny,

short or tall,

hairy or bald,

and it doesn't matter one tiny bit.

Did you read Hedda Hopper's column today?
She claims you're pregnant.

Like I'm ever gonna end up some happy housewife
with a brood of annoying brats.

That's mine.

- Lois Lane.
- Lane, where have you been?

- I need you here right away!
- What? Slow down, Perry.

Right. Got it.

Stalin is dead.

Apparently, all hell's breaking loose
in Moscow.

As I knew it would
when I gave you that file.

I hope this isn't a mistake.

I don't make mistakes.

Morning, Mr. Luthor.

Special Agent Olsen.

How is my favorite G-man babysitter today?

Excellent, Mr. L.

And how's my most exhausting assignment?

The usual.

Burdened by your own brilliance?

Frustrated by the limitations
of everyone around you?

You know me too well, James.

I'll say it again,
this is extraordinary even for you.

True.

Technology curves stipulated

that none of this equipment would even
be invented for another five decades.

I guess the Man of Steel
makes your head work faster, huh?

Careful there!

The genetic information the alien left
on that satellite is essential.

Especially if Ike expects me to build him
a superman of his very own.

We thought that the
bloody conflict was over four years ago.

That a fragile peace had finally come
to the war-torn Korean peninsula.

We didn't realize just how fragile it was.

It began 24 hours ago,

when the Soviet premier announced that he would
be liberating the South from American oppression

and reuniting the Korean people
under his rule.

The last war went on for three years.

This one was over in three hours.

We deeply regret the loss of life today.

Even a single death is a tragedy.

But a few thousand,

weighed against the nearly three million
who perished in the previous Korean conflict,

we believe that's a small price
to pay for peace.

And there will be peace, and prosperity,
for all Korean citizens.

I promise you that we are not here
to dominate you or trample your rights.

We are here to lift you up
and set you free.

To offer you a better life.

And what we offer
the people of Korea...

we offer to the entire world.

I hear congratulations are
in order.

Thank you, Olsen.

The solar engine I conceived
in the shower this morning

will certainly revolutionize
the automobile industry.

- But how...?
- I wasn't talking about you, sir.

Perry White's retirement?

Your wife becoming editor-in-chief
of the Daily Planet?

If we'd seen each other for more than
a few hours these past four months,

maybe you wouldn't be so befuddled.

Sorry, my dear, I've been
understandably distracted with the project.

Oh, Christ, don't tell me...

Yep. You forgot our anniversary.

Again.

Impeccable taste.

As always.

I'll dispatch Miss Teschmacher
to get you something.

It will be delivered later today.

You're such a sentimentalist.

You're a woman of great patience, Miss Lane.

In other words, why do I put up with him?

Three reasons.

One, he supports my career.

Two, the sex is phenomenal.

Ahem. And, uh, three?

That man is gonna change the world.

With the emergence of the Soviet Superman,

the Cold War reached a freezing point.

Our nation reacted to this new threat
as it had to,

by doing everything in our power
to hold back the communist tide

through force of arms and force of will.

But as recent lessons
in Korea have taught us,

conventional weapons aren't enough
when one man, one alien,

has the power to bring entire nations
to their knees.

And so we turned to the only person
who could shift the balance of power.

Thank you, Mr. President,

for both your service to our great nation
and your confidence in me.

A confidence that, I believe,
has been rewarded today.

Many of our citizens have lived in fear
of the Soviet Superman, but no longer.

As of today,
the United States has its own living weapon.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...

Superior Man.

Faster, stronger,
and far deadlier than our Russian friend.

And once unleashed...

my creation will restore American superiority
and bring the Red Menace to its knees.

America first!

Questions?

- Mr. Luthor! Mr. Luthor!
- Mr. Luthor, I have a question!

One at a time, please. Mr. Troupe.

I'm confused, Mr. Luthor.

A project like this, wouldn't it be better
to keep it secret from the Russians?

Why reveal this new weapon to the world
in such a public way?

For one very good reason, I want our friend
in Moscow to know what's coming.

I want him to be afraid.

To say that I am honored to have you here,
ambassador, is a massive understatement.

Call me Diana, please.

On Themyscira,
we have little patience for formalities.

And what shall I call you?

Superman.

I had a name once, Diana.

Before I stopped being a man
and became a symbol.

Then Superman it is.

If only my mother had come.

If she could meet you,
see what you've accomplished here...

She's still resistant?

- Queen Hippolyta doesn't trust man's world.
- But you do?

I believe that the only chance for peace
in this world

is reaching out, forging alliances,

finding common ground.

The Amazons can't keep their heads
buried in the sand forever.

So you have hope?

You give me hope, Superman.

Stalin was a brute.

But you, I think,
actually embody the ideals you profess.

You're the first person I've met
with abilities like mine.

Each of us alone
has the power to change the world.

But together?

Forgive me.

I come from an island of all women.

Work it out for yourself.

Ah!

Right. Of course.

Hm.

Well, that's a relief.

Is it?

I thought sex was
what you expected from me.

It's certainly pleasant enough but, ultimately,
it's a diversion from the critical work at hand.

Nothing wrong with a good diversion.

With the right partner.

I don't need, or want, a mate, Diana.

But I could certainly use a friend.

I'd be proud to offer my friendship
and my assistance.

Perhaps, together,
we can change the world for the better.

And what do you make
of this duplicate Superman

the Americans have created?

If you're asking me if I'm worried, no.

Our intelligence reports indicate
that this so-called Superior Man is flawed.

Incomplete and inoperable.

A propaganda tool meant to frighten us.

We do not frighten easily.

So much fear, so much mistrust,
on both sides.

Perhaps I could be a bridge
between your nations.

I think you overestimate
the Americans' desire for peace.

Superman!

Come to me now, Russki, before I bring
this entire city down on your head!

Years ago, when Metropolis was threatened,

I put aside our countries' differences
and protected the lives of the innocent.

Yet you dare to come here as an invader?

Not an invader, a liberator.

I am truth.

I am justice.

I am the American way!

This violence is unnecessary.

You're not an enemy, you are
a victim of the capitalist machine.

- Surrender now and I will...
- I am an American,

and I will never surrender
to a commie dictator!

Very well.

You had your chance.

The sub-cutaneous camera you embedded
in him is working fine.

Unfortunately, he's not.

More power.

He's nearing overload now, sir.

Of course he is.
Now give him more juice.

More juice.

Superior Man hate you.

Superior Man kill you!

- Lex, for God's sake...
- More!

Me am truth...

Me am justice...

Me am America...

Americ...

Americ...

Americ... Americ...

Americ...

What's happening to you?

Not know.

Me feel strange.

Me...

Luthor.

Unfortunate.

But expected.

There was only a 12 percent chance
Superior Man could've killed Superman

before he disintegrated
from the strain to his systems.

What?

You deliberately put that poor creature
into a state of overload.

Knowingly sent him to his death. Why?

Not a "him", darling, an "it."

An inhuman construct
created from the alien's DNA.

Why?

To test Superman's limits. Unnerve him,
psychologically and emotionally.

For a moment there, I actually
saw fear in his eyes.

And that means...

You created that creature,
and then very consciously murdered it.

We're at war, Lois.

Your compassion, however admirable,
is misplaced.

Don't.

I'm sorry.

This is Jack Ryder
reporting from Checkpoint Charlie,

where the final reinforced section
of the Berlin Wall is being put in place.

This veritable Iron Curtain, a massive
undertaking of the Democratic Allies,

assures all freedom-loving people
of the West

that they are finally safe
from the cancerous spread of communism...

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, but the sound of
what can only be described as a sonic boom

has shaken the ground here and...

Workers of the West,

too long have you been deceived
by the lies of America.

This pitiful wall was created
to prevent you from knowing the truth,

that you live your lives
enslaved to the capitalist elite.

In the name of peace,

in the name of equality
for the United States and Western Europe,

I open this gate.

I tear down this wall.

Go, go, go!

Ladies and gentlemen,
from what we've just seen here today,

it is only a matter of time, very little time,
until all of Western Europe is absorbed...

is taken by the Soviet Superman.

The attack on Stalingrad by the alien
artificial intelligence called Brainiac

has haunted the Soviet people for years.

The entire city remains miniaturized.

Secreted away in the Kremlin,

where our premier works tirelessly
to restore Stalingrad's population.

Over time, Superman was able
to reprogram Brainiac,

and the living computer
now serves the State.

Poverty, disease, and ignorance have been
virtually eliminated in the Warsaw Pact states,

and disobedience to the party
is now a thing of the past.

The glorious future
envisioned by Karl Marx is here.

Really? When we're all his pets?
Animals in a carefully constructed cage?

He may feed and shelter everyone.

But the only freedom we have
is to be exactly what he wants us to be.

To do exactly as he wants us to do.

The only answer to this world
of perfect order is chaos.

We have to blow the entire system apart,

which is why this museum
is going to explode in 10 minutes.

Everyone, please proceed to the exits
in an orderly fashion.

There's more than enough time for us...

Did I say 10 minutes? I meant 10 seconds.

- Where did he go?
- He's on you, Petrovich!

- There!
- Open fire!

You serve that terrorist bastard.

Plant his bombs.

Take lives in the Batman's name.

You don't deserve to live.

But it's not your fault, is it?

He's fed you lies, brainwashed you.
You're broken.

I can fix you.

What kind of human being would do this?

A soulless lunatic with no respect
for human life.

Men.

Not all men.

No powers to speak of, yet this
Batman eludes the police, the military.

You.

I swear to you, Diana, his day will come.

The Army
retrieved it six weeks ago.

As soon as I was informed, I brought
Mr. Luthor in to consult on the project.

Of course to Lex,
"consult" means "take over."

I do my best to serve my country,
Mr. President.

You know that.

You serve the pursuit of knowledge
above all else, Lex.

But I respect that.

If I may ask, sir,
what is it exactly that they retrieved?

See for yourself.

Christ on a cracker.

- Apologies, sir.
- That's all right, captain.

I just about shit a brick myself
first time I saw it.

The ship is made of
a fascinating alloy.

We haven't been able
to identify it yet.

Although we have been able to determine
the age and probable use of the vehicle.

But this, however spectacular, pales beside
what was found within the craft.

At first, we thought it was
a simple ornament, but now...

We're beginning to suspect that it's the doorway
to a power source as old as the universe itself.

- Why haven't you removed the ring?
- We've requested permission, Mr. Luthor.

But the brass is concerned
that it might be some kind of...

Problem solved.

Understand, it could take decades
to retro-engineer this weapon.

Why are you telling me this, sir?
Why did you bring me here?

Because, Captain Jordan, we're setting up
a new branch of the military.

And I want you to lead it.

It's finally completed, Diana,
and I wanted you to be the first to see it.

From here, I can be certain that the U.S.S.R.
ticks with the precision of a Swiss watch.

Brainiac.

- Summarize today's statistics please.
- Production is up eight percent.

Life expectancy has increased
to 97 Earth years

with greater increases predicted
over the next decade.

Suicides are down since I added
fluoxetine hydrochloride to the water supply.

- Birth rates are on the rise and...
- Thank you, Brainiac.

What is it?

My mother.

She wants to shut down
the Themysciran embassy.

What? After all I've achieved?

But how have you achieved it?

Better than the Gulags, isn't it?

Better than extermination.

A day will come when it won't be necessary,
Diana, but until then...

And what if that day doesn't come?

Is even one soul suffering like this
worth the price of your perfect world?

- On Paradise Island...
- Paradise Island is unique.

Human nature is dark, brutal.

It requires different methods.

Human nature or man's nature?

Would you prefer we were
like America? Brainiac.

A nation in decline, princess.
Economic depression.

Social unrest bordering on civil war.
Millions on the brink of starvation.

I had high hopes for Kennedy
when he was first elected.

But he's turned out
to be just like the rest of them.

Ranting about the Red Menace,
refusing all offers of aid.

Perhaps it would be more efficient, sir,
to invade their shores

and compel them to align
with the rest of the world?

Out of the question.

This global revolution has been,
with rare exceptions, bloodless.

America will eventually fall,
and we'll be there pick up the pieces.

Can't your mother see
that we're building a better world?

Queen Hippolyta believes
that freedom must spring from within,

that it can't be imposed from without,
no matter how high-minded the motives.

But...

I've told her to wait,
to give you more time.

I haven't given up on you yet.

- The dinner was wonderful, premier.
- What?

Yes. I'm glad you enjoyed it,
Mr. Ambassador.

It's been too long
since we spent an evening together.

We have missed your extraordinary hospitality
and your warm friendship.

As the representative of the People's Republic,
I have nothing but the greatest...

We've known each other for some years,
Ambassador Lee, have we not?

We have.

Then why are you still so cautious,
so tense, around me?

Tense? Ha, ha.

You are our savior.

The man who is bringing peace
and prosperity to a troubled world.

- Whose flag flies over my...
- The truth, ambassador.

You terrify me.

Superman!

Diana?

Ten seconds.

Batman said you have only 10 seconds
to find me before...

Eight seconds to track her voice here?

Heh. I expected you in six.

What have you done?

My Lasso of Truth...

its energy is part of me, of my very soul.

Batman used it to bind me psychically
and physically.

- And not even you have the power to...
- Shut up.

You see?

Now she's as obedient to me
as those poor mind-jacked dissidents are to you.

And she's under orders to kill herself
if you harm me in any way.

What do you want?

What I've wanted since I was a child,
to destroy you.

To break and utterly humiliate
the great Superman.

For all your powers, you've always
underestimated the greatest weapon of all,

the human mind.

I can see your brain from here, Batman,
and it's nothing to boast about.

And can you see...?

- You think you're going to stop me with that?
- No.

With this.

Sun lamps? Wonderful.

Let them burn for a few thousand years
and I might get...

Impossible.

These lamps were provided
by a mutual friend of ours from America,

who specializes in the impossible.

They simulate the conditions of a red sun.
The conditions of your home world.

Pain is a new sensation, yes?

Get used to it.

I saved you all.

Destroyed the Gulags.

Gave you paradise.

Did you?

You and Comrade Stalin
may have different methods,

but you're variations
on the same tiresome theme.

Narcissistic, power-hungry egomaniacs

bent on reshaping the world
in their own grotesque image.

But, in the end, all men like you
inevitably fall.

There you will stay
for the remainder of your wretched life

while my followers rise up
and finally take our country back.

You may speak freely.

You're a monster.

And he's not?

Men...

All of you alike in the end.

My mother was right!

No.

Game's over, Batman.

You don't understand at all, do you?

It may be a game to you, but not to me.

Never to me.

Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you,
I'm going to help you.

Just a few hours of brain surgery,

and then, a nice job
in a Moscow laundry for you.

Diana, let me help you.

Like you were going to help Batman?

What?

No, of course not.

- I was just...
- I couldn't let you die, Superman.

But I can no longer call
myself your friend.

This is what all men
bring upon themselves in the end.

And this is what happens
to women foolish enough to trust them.

As it was with the Lasso of Truth,
it is now with us.

The bond has been broken.

After years of unrest,
insurrection, and political assassinations,

the end of the American epoch
seemed assured.

The election of Alexander J. Luthor proved to be
a miraculous turning point for the United States.

President Luthor,

ably assisted by Vice President Olsen
and Press Secretary Lois Lane-Luthor,

slowly brought the country back
from decades of chaos.

Under his leadership,
a thriving democracy has been restored,

and America is on the rebound.

But the U.S. recovery has sent ripples
of unrest through the Soviet Empire

as people across the globe begin to realize
that you don't have to give one man all the power

in order for the world to be a better place.

Turn it off.

I'll give Luthor one thing,
he's a master of propaganda.

A handful of unruly demonstrations,
and they call it an uprising.

The American resurgence is having
an impact, sir,

and not an advantageous one.

I estimate that within three years, discontent
in the Warsaw Pact nations will reach critical...

I don't care about your estimations.

Sorry, Brainiac.

I am, as I often remind you,
an artificial life form void of emotion.

There is never a need to apologize.

May I speak freely, sir?

Of course.

Luthor has always been a danger,
yet, for years, you resisted direct action,

remaining firm in the belief
that America will consume itself.

Be the engine of its own destruction.

And it almost was. It will be.

It is my assessment that an invasion
of the United States is our only recourse.

Conquer the Americans. Capture Luthor.

Recondition him.

No. If I'd wanted to, I could have attacked
and brought America to its knees years ago.

But I want to achieve my goals
by winning the argument,

not beating my opponents into submission.

At the moment, sir,
President Luthor is the one who is winning.

America is like a cancer cell,
and it must be removed.

If we attack now, I estimate a total
of only six and a half million dead.

No!

That's a choice I will never make.

The choice may have
just been made for you, sir.

Missiles?

Those are not missiles.

Home base, this is Colonel Jordan.
ETA red bunker, 20 minutes.

Copy, Jordan.

We're only gonna get one shot at this,
so knock it out of the park.

Roger, home base.

Unidentified flying object approaching,
Colonel Jordan.

Approximate speed is really freaking fast.

- Nervous, captain?
- No, sir.

Given the stakes, fear is
a luxury we can't afford.

Damn right.

Look alive, Lanterns. We've got incoming.

Focus, Lanterns! Think!

Green thoughts!

That the best you've got?

- Oh, God, that freak is unstoppable!
- Keep it together, Gardner! Focus your will!

We've got him, colonel.

We sure as hell...

Diana.

I should have known
you'd come to back me up.

Back you up?

In the name of the friendship we once shared,
in the name of this planet we both love,

I have come to beg you, all of you,
to stop this now,

before the entire Earth is consumed
in your insane war.

Stop?

- But Luthor...
- Peace is the way, Superman.

Let me intercede.

- Let me speak to President Luthor and...
- That monster could manipulate you,

convince you to turn against me
in a matter of minutes.

Do you really think so little of me?

That's not what I meant, Diana,
but I can't stop now.

Don't you see? He's given me no choice.

What I see
is that the man I once admired is long gone,

if he was ever there.

Then I am truly sorry.

You're just another pathetic man,
aren't you?

Diana.

As of this moment,
the Amazon Nation washes its hands of you.

Themyscira will remain hidden
to men's eyes for all eternity.

Farewell, Superman.

We will never see each other again.

Women, right?

Light him up!

You were right, Brainiac.

It's time to take this straight to Luthor.

Unexpected, sir. No soldiers.

No Secret Service.

No defense at all.

He's up to something.

Whatever the game is, Luthor,

whatever ultimate weapon
you're planning to unleash...

it's too late.

It's never too late.

How did you get that?

My husband is always 10 steps ahead of you.

Look at them.

Like specimens in a laboratory.

Like flies in amber.

Just the way you wanted it.

What are you saying?

I've spent decades trying to restore them.

You're telling me that Brainiac
couldn't have done it at any time?

No. Brainiac was damaged when I found him.
We tried and tried to undo this but...

Actually, sir, the restoration technology
was always available.

But you did not want me to utilize it.

I never said that.

Words were not necessary.

Stalingrad is a representation
of all you have worked for.

All you desire.

The perfect symbol for a dictator

who's spent his entire life
trying to put the whole world in a bottle.

You have to believe me...

all I wanted was to put
an end to human suffering.

Shut down your weapons systems, Brainiac.
We're going home.

Not recommended, sir.

Retreat now will give the Americans
the advantage, throw the U.S.S.R. into chaos.

I don't care.

Stalin once called me a blind kitten.

So pure in my beliefs, so walled in by my ideals,
that I was unable to see reality.

Maybe he was right.

But I finally do see that
this is humanity's world.

And they have to be free
to make their own mistakes,

chart their own course.

And your perfect world, your Utopia, sir?

It's in their hands.

That is an unacceptable response.

I urge you to reconsider.

Lois, get inside!

You were never reprogrammed, were you?
You wanted me to bring you to Moscow.

A superb strategy, was it not?

Expanding and consuming, nation by nation.

Why settle for a city in a bottle
when you can possess an entire world?

Lex?

What is this thing?

You know I'm always prepared, dear.

- Get down to the bunker and let me handle this.
- You could die out here.

Really, Lois, all these years together
and you have so little faith in me?

I've never lost faith.

We've gotta get through his force field.

My force fields have been
immeasurably improved since Stalingrad.

You barely pierced them then.

And only because I allowed it.

You used me, manipulated me
as if I were some brainless puppet.

My methods were not unlike yours,
only more efficient.

Until now.

This is illogical.

You are merely a thing of flesh,
while I am...

A useless machine.

Well done, Superman.

Now, having realized what a sociological
disaster you've been causing,

will you have the decency to leave Earth?

My only plan right now is to bury this ship
in the Sea of Tranquility.

Then, I'll decide whether or not
I can safely stay on Earth...

What the hell?

He must have had a self-destruct mechanism
encoded into the hard drive

in case he was defeated.

The six mini black holes that powered
his engines have been primed to go off,

and I can't stop it.

Then it's on me.

When it explodes, it's gonna wipe out
everything in a 15 million mile radius.

- Even you aren't fast enough to get it clear.
- Don't count on it.

Get out of here, Lex.

- But...
- Go. Now.

What's he doing?

Saving the world.

Remember when we were small, solnyshka?

How I used to save you from those bullies?

Now you must save all of us.

Use your power to...

Superman gone.

Brainiac gone.

One could be forgiven for thinking

that this had all been worked out
to the tenth decimal point 25 years ago.

Checkmate, Superman.

It is with no small amount of sorrow
and a vast amount of pride,

that I stand before you today to say farewell
to this sacred office and its sacred trust.

With the death of Superman, the collapse
of the Soviet Empire is inevitable.

We see it happening even now.

But it's not the American way
to leave an enemy gasping in the dust.

We will reach out. We will give aid
and comfort to the Russian people.

And with the determination and compassion
so unique to the spirit of this nation,

we will reinvigorate the Soviet economy.

A people that have lived too long
in the shadow of oppression

will awaken to the true power,
the shining glory, of democracy.

Be assured that, in time, all the Soviet nations
will gladly and willingly join us

in the formation of
a truly global United States.

The world we'll build
together won't be perfect,

but it will be one we can all be proud of

because it will be a reflection
of the very best of humanity.

My resignation has shocked many of you,

but a man has to know
when it's time to leave the stage.

I leave it in the capable hands
of a truly great man

who has worked beside me
for more years than I'd dare to count.

President James B. Olsen.

Jimmy!

Jimmy! Yeah!

I entrust that vision not just
to President Olsen but to all of you.

And with that, I bid you all
a truly heartfelt farewell.

Time to leave the stage, huh?

Well, time to leave that stage.

What are you gonna do now?

Oh, I don't know.

Write the great American novel maybe?
Find a cure for the common cold?

Or maybe I'll just retire to a desert island
with the smartest,

strongest, most challenging,
most beautiful woman I've ever known.

I kind of like that last option.
