Original subtitles

[male narrator] Banded together from remote galaxies

are 13 of the most sinister villains of all time.

The Legion of Doom.

Dedicated to a single objective

the conquest of the universe.

Only one group dares to challenge this

intergalactic threat.

The Super Friends.

[instrumental music]

Boom

[roaring]

The Justice League of America VS The Legion of Doom.

This is "The Challenge of the Super Friends."

[instrumental music]

[male narrator] Thousands of miles from land in the vast Pacific Ocean

the world's largest nuclear power aircraft carrier

the USS Dauntless circles the globe.

Our reconnaissance machine is complete, Admiral Hubbard.

We're ready to return to Pearl Harbor.

Alright, captain. We'll chart the new course.

Admiral, we're picking up an unidentified object

approaching us from 800 fathoms.

We have no subs in the area, sir.

And it's not responding to our radio calls.

Get the men to their battle stations.

And notify the Super Friends.

[siren wailing]

[male narrator] Moments later at the Hall of Justice...

Holy Abominable spaceman!

What's that?

[growling]

It's the Moleman of Planet Theta.

I captured him as he was in the process of

devouring their capital.

[growling]

[beeping]

It's the TroubAlert.

A message is being scrambled

through the naval security channel.

Activate Justice League decoder.

Super Friends, this is Captain Barkhouse

of the USS Dauntless.

We're being followed by an unidentified craft.

And it appears to be hostile.

The admiral would like you to check it out

before we have to respond with force.

We'll take care of it, captain.

I'll head out underwater. You two can follow from the air.

[male narrator] Within seconds, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Aquaman

streak off toward the endangered carrier.

[intense music]

She's right on our tail, captain.

Whatever it is, it's unaffected by radar scrambler.

Our only chance is to outmaneuver them.

Quick! Full rudder nuclear engines to maximum power.

Excellent! Once we capture that nuclear powered carrier

we can ransom it and its crew for millions.

Prepare the torpedo tube.

Torpedo ready for launch.

Range, 22,000.

Marked.

Bearing, 277.

Marked.

Fire!

Torpedo off the starboard bow.

Rev full rudder.

Torpedo, get to tanks.

Thud

It must've been a dud.

Purr-fect landing.

Now, to deactivate their nuclear engines

with this radiation neutralizer.

Now, hear this.

You're all about to have a permanent power shortage.

[laughs]

She's done it. They've lost all power.

Fire torpedo tube two.

This is Black Manta to carrier Dauntless.

We're coming in for a landing whether you like it or not.

[evil laugh]

In a few seconds, this ship will be ours.

That's what you think, Sinestro.

- Aquaman. - He won't give us any trouble.

I hear you're an excellent swimmer, Aquaman.

Now, let's see how well you fly.

[laughing]

Great galaxies! Aquaman is in trouble.

I'll take care of Wonder Woman.

This landing net will stop you.

Give it up, Sinestro. You've lost.

I wouldn't be too sure, green fool.

Look!

If they can bring reinforcement, so can we.

The Hall of Doom doesn't look very threatening anymore.

He's got us.

Let's get out of here.

It looks like Legion of Doom isn't very brave.

We've been deserted.

Quick, to the Mantaship.

Not so fast, friends.

The only place you're going is

to the Justice League Detention Brig.

[male narrator] Later, at the Hall of Justice...

[Superman] The three you won't be

causing anymore trouble for quite a while.

You can't keep us here for long, Superman.

We don't intend to.

As soon as the galactic police arrive, you'll be taken to

the maximum security prison planet.

[beeping]

Batman, this is General Thompson

of the Maratoa Volcano Installation.

We're about to test the army's newest

most powerful defense weapon.

And we need some of the Super Friends for added security.

Apache Chief and I are in the area, Batman.

- We'll take care of it. - Right, Flash.

So, the army has a new installation

at the Maratoa Volcano.

If we can gain control of it, it will make an excellent

headquarters to launch our revenge

against the Legion of Doom.

A brilliant idea, Sinestro.

The only problem is that there's no way to get out

of this Super Friends' Detention Cell.

Wrong!

I know the way into the Universe of Quard

where the guardians of this universe once banished me.

We can slip into the Quard Universe

and leave three anti-matter robots in our place.

When the Super Friends touch them

they'll be blown into oblivion.

Follow me!

[male narrator] Moments later at the Maratoa Volcano

the world's most heavily guarded secret

is about to be tested.

Okay, everyone, stand back.

Put on your goggles, Super Friends.

The extreme power of this weapon is... blinding.

Thermonuclear generators on.

Alpha wave condensers full power.

Ready for testing, number one.

Activate.

[explosion]

It's incredible.

With our new metal matter ray

we can now turn any thought into instant reality.

Giant sun is a creation of my own mind.

Now, another thought and I will alter the image again.

Blast

A device like that could be invaluable

in maintaining world peace.

But in the wrong hands, it could be disastrous.

[Black Manta] We'll soon find out.

It's the Legion of Doom.

Wrong, Flash.

We've broken our Legions with those common criminals.

In fact, after we destroy you, they're next.

You'll destroy no one.

Inek chok!

It looks like the big Cheetah is only a little kitten now.

May be so, Apache Chief

but the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

I will take care of that oversized Indian

once and for all.

I've only got 1 000th of a second to stop Manta.

That will extinguish your evil plans.

Nice try, Flash.

But you'll never get out of this trap.

My molecules have transformed to diamonds.

I can't vibrate out.

It looks like diamonds are a villain's best friend.

Prrr... prrr...

[wicked laughter]

Alright, you're surrounded. Give yourselves up.

Not before I give you this.

This metal matter ray is the greatest weapon

we've ever possessed.

All we have to do is locate the Hall of Doom

and vengeance will be ours.

The army's tracking system should tell us where they are.

It's picking them up now.

[dramatic music]

[male narrator] Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice.

Thanks for your help, Super Friends.

Sinestro, Black Manta and Cheetah are wanted

throughout the galaxy.

They won't be giving us any more trouble.

Follow me.

Great Gotham. They're robots.

It looks like they pulled one of the oldest tricks

in the book on us.

But where are the real villains?

And how did they get these robots here.

[static]

- Superman. - He's gone.

Great Gotham, Superman must've been blown

right out of the universe.

[Superman] It looks like I walked right into another Sinestro trap.

And if I'm not mistaken, this is the Universe of Quard.

Where the highest goal is evil.

And justice is a crime.

That's right, Superman.

Nartan.

Yes, the Black Knight of Krypton

banished to the Quard Universe

for crimes beyond the imagination.

But I wrote the law in this world

and you, Superman are on the most wanted list.

[growling]

It's a Kryptonite energy form and it's overpowering me.

[male narrator] Meanwhile, at the Maratoa Volcano Military Installation...

[Cheetah] I programmed the tracking computer to pick up

the Hall of Doom.

We should have them on the screen any second.

[Sinestro] There they are now.

They're draining the Alaskan oil pipeline.

The metal mantle ray

will enable us to capture them with ease.

Perfect.

We'll now see how capable The Legion of Doom is

when confronted with their own devices.

[growling]

I've got to use all my strength to stop this phantom dragon.

Not a trick Nartan into getting me out of the Quard Universe.

I'm still more powerful than

anything you can dream of, Nartan.

You'd have to use your energy lots of full force to affect me.

Thanks for the information, Superman.

I think I'll do just that.

Boom

[male narrator] Back in the physical universe at the Hall of Justice...

Superman, what happened?

Those anti-matter robots blew me into the Universe of Quard.

But where are the real villains?

They've escaped and we can't find any sign of them.

We'll just have to wait them out.

[male narrator] Meanwhile, over the frozen tundra of Alaska...

As soon as we have all of Alaska's oil, the Legion of Doom

will hold the strings on America's industry.

It's the intruder alarm.

[Toyman] Something must be wrong with the monitor.

That's a picture of ourselves.

There's nothing...

We're being attacked. By another Hall of Doom.

[Sinestro] That's right, you Legion of fools.

We're now only going to attack.

We're going to win.

Boom

crash

Our defenses have been wiped out.

We will be destroyed.

We've only got one chance to get away with our lives.

This is the Hall of Doom.

Calling the Super Friends. Emergency!

[male narrator] Within seconds, the Legion of Doom's distress call is

relayed to the Hall of Justice.

You've got to help us, Super Friends.

We're being attacked by another Hall of Doom.

Two Halls of Doom?

Come on, Luthor.

You don't expect us to fall for another trap.

The only trap is the one we're in. Please, Super Friends.

Holy Hall of Doom.

Their transmitter must've been blown out.

We'll pick them up with a satellite scanner.

Wait, Hera. Luthor was right.

They may not deserve it, but we've got to try to help them.

The three of us can get there the fastest. Let's go.

[intense music]

The Hall of Doom is defenseless.

Now, to transport us all back to our original base camp.

Boom

[Sinestro] So, you think you can betray us

and forget we ever existed. Do you?

You got us wrong, Sinestro.

We were going to come back for you.

Silence! You're not going to weasel your

way out of your punishment.

You'll regret the day you left us for dead.

There was a battle alright.

But it looks like we're too late.

Our only chance is to split up and search the globe.

I'll check the western hemisphere.

I will scan these, Superman.

You check over the oceans.

[male narrator] While Black Vulcan

Green lantern and Superman scour the planet...

...a deadly revenge is about to be unleashed

on the Legion of Doom.

Now, you'll find out what happens

when you play games with us.

Wait! You can't do this to us.

Oh, no? Just watch.

Thud

It's coming right for us.

Brace yourselves.

Bam

thud

if I can just vibrate fast enough

I may be able to give up a high pitch signal

that the Super Friends can pick up.

[beeping]

[male narrator] Thousands of miles away, in the Pacific Ocean...

I've scanned millions of square miles and haven't found a thing.

Great Scott, my superhearing is picking up

an emergency signal from Flash.

Green Lantern, Black Vulcan, this is Superman.

- I read you. - Go ahead, Superman.

[Superman] I've picked up a distress call from Flash.

Adjust your radios to 30,000 megacycles

and we'll triangulate his location.

Roger.

[male narrator] Meanwhile at the Maratoa Volcano...

Well, Luthor, I see you're behind the eight ball now.

[evil laugh]

No more. We've had enough.

May be so but we haven't.

Captain Cold in the corner pocket.

[evil laugh]

I think they've learned their lesson.

[Black Manta] Perhaps now we can resume our partnership in crime.

Not before you pay for what you've done.

It looks like we've got worse problems

than destroying each other.

[Cheetah] The Super Friends. But how could they have found us?

In a few seconds, they'll be in no shape to bother us.

The Super Friends are about to face their doomsday.

Splash

This hand is only water.

But I can't break free.

Hang on, Superman.

My lightning will evaporate the water.

It's no good. Nothing can stop it.

My power ring will take care of it.

Not even Superman and Green Lantern

are a match for the power of the mind.

Now, to sit back and watch those superfools

get crushed out of existence.

We've got to break free and help the other Super Friends.

There's still one chance.

I may be able to speed up my molecules and cleave the stone.

[glass shatters]

There are too many of the Legion of Doom to handle ourselves.

We'll need a diversion.

This volcano we're standing on

should be just the thing we need.

The volcano, it's erupting.

[explosion]

[flash] Now's our chance.

boom

I think we've had enough of this eruption.

So, the two of you thought

you could stop all 13 of us, did you?

It looks as though you've bitten off more than you can chew.

[Superman] I don't think so, Luthor.

This time, it's doomsday for the Legion of Doom.

Let's see how you'll hold up against this new laser tank.

It looks like your plan backfired on you, Black Manta.

You superchumps will wish you'd never found us

when I get through with you.

A giant rat!

You're not thinking fast enough, Sinestro. Look!

[mews]

One last blast of the Mantle Matter Ray

and the Legion of Doom will be all wrapped up.

[Toyman] This is your fault, Cheetah.

You never should've attempted to take over

the military installation.

[grunts]

You're a fool, Luthor.

I don't know why we ever decided to forgive you.

Good work, Apache Chief.

This should teach the Legion of Doom a lesson.

Never keep your eggs all in one basket.

Even if they are hard boiled.
