  Captain Boomerang : Ugh, Brits.

  John Constantine : Aussies.

  Captain Boomerang : Poms.

  John Constantine : Convicts.

  John Constantine , Captain Boomerang : Wankers!

• [Constantine spots Harley Quinn and King Shark] 

  John Constantine : Oh, bollocks, it's my ex!

  Raven : You and Harley? Gross.

  John Constantine : Do I look mad?

  [King Shark winks at Constantine] 

• John Constantine : [resurrects]  Can't even be a corpse in peace. Wanking destiny can go and bugger itself!

• [last lines] 

  John Constantine : [to Flash]  You know what you have to do, mate. Clear the board. Start again.

  The Flash : Another Flashpoint. I promised Iris, before she... I can't.

  John Constantine : Yeah, I figured you'd say that.

  The Flash : Everything will change. Again.

  John Constantine : And some of those changes may be shite. And we may make the same mistakes again. It won't be perfect. We'll be a long sight better than what we've got now.

  [pause. Flash starts off running, as the rest of the heroes watch him rewrite history] 

• John Constantine : Come on, Z. I did my part. I'm dead.

  John Constantine : Does it hurt? Good.

• John Constantine : I offer you a willing magical host! Let's kill the bastard!

  Trigon : I have a better idea.

  [possesses Superman] 

  John Constantine : Bollocks!

• Superman : Thank you for responding so quickly. Some of you already know what this is about, but I wanted to get the new members up to speed. This is Apokolips, home world of Darkseid, a power-mad despot who has orchestrated two attempted invasions of Earth, the first of which resulted in the formation of the Justice League. The second one, an attack from within our ranks by Cyborg Superman and his cyber force.

  Damian Wayne : Raven, what's wrong?

  Raven : It's nothing.

  Batman : This image was taken by surveillance ten hours ago on the edge of the solar system.

  Wonder Woman : Apokolips phased into our dimension and released stealth drones, then phased out again.

  Superman : This can only be looked at as a prelude to war. Darkseid aims to conquer the Earth and crush it under his heel.

  John Constantine : Regular Churchill, he is.

  Zatanna : Shh...

  The Flash : Look, I know the guy's a genocidal maniac, but are we sure those are his immediate plans? Or something he'll try in like a thousand years?

  Superman : These are images from worlds that Darkseid has conquered. Our intel shows that he's now sent his elite guard and the Furies to act as an occupying force to thwart any resistance. I want to make this perfectly clear. We are facing an existential threat to the planet. We can't wait for Darkseid to make the first move. That could mean the end of us. We have to attack.

  Cyborg : It's a tough job. Aside from the big bad, this place is jam-packed with those Parademons.

  Batman : The League's faced them before. We know these are their weak spots.

  Superman : With our combined force, we can cut through them. Then, I'll do what needs to be done.

  Lex Luthor : This is madness! There's always a deal to be made. Let's at least send an envoy to Apokolips...

  Superman : No! Darkseid created a monster that nearly killed me. What chance would humanity have? Our only option is to destroy him.

  The Flash : That means Earth could be ground zero in a world war. Look, I know some of you don't believe the visions I had about the Flashpoint, but... a truly global war means death and destruction on a scale you cannot imagine. Everyone on the planet is at risk, everyone we care about.

  John Constantine : Flash is right.

  Zatanna : John...

  John Constantine : Sure, this guy deserves killing, but you can't kick this hornet's nest like everyone on Earth is bulletproof.

  Superman : Look, I won't ask you to give anything more than I do. But this isn't up for discussion. We're going to stop Darkseid once and for all. Here's how we do it.

  Wonder Woman : The main team will attack through this entryway on Apokolips. Members of the Titans shall remain on Earth as a home guard.

  [Darkseid is secretly watching the League's plan to attack Apokolips via Cyborg] 

  Wonder Woman : With the Furies and his elite guard off-world, and only Parademons to guard him, Darkseid will be vulnerable to attack.

• Lois Lane : Darkseid's machines have gone online in the Congo, China, and off the coast of England.

  Harley Quinn : What the heck are they?

  Lois Lane : They phase the Earth's magma into Darkseid's base.

  Lady Shiva : So these things must be destroyed.

  Lois Lane : That's a temporary solution. We need to blow up Apokolips.

  Captain Boomerang : Oh, is that all? Piece of cake.

  Lois Lane : We can't brute-force this. On Apokolips, Darkseid has Paradooms. Parademons upgraded with Superman's DNA, like Doomsday was.

  Superman : Don't rub it in, honey.

  Lois Lane : We have to get them off of Apokolips to have any chance. To do that, we plan on mounting simultaneous attacks on two of the machines. That should cause the Paradooms to be sent to Earth as reinforcements.

  Damian Wayne : Why not attack all three?

  Lois Lane : We... don't have enough people. If the two teams do enough damage, we'll be fine. The boom tube gate is located in LexCorp Tower. That's where we come in. We take the tower. Our strike team transports to Apokolips, sets its power generator to go critical, reverses the boom tubes, bringing all the Paradooms back to Apokolips, then we get out before it blows up.

  Harley Quinn : Easy peasy, rich n' cheesy. Ha-ha!

  King Shark : King Shark is a shark.

  John Constantine : Aren't you forgetting one small detail, name of Darkseid?

  Captain Boomerang : Warm beer, soggy chips here is right. We can't take him. No one can.

  Lois Lane : Darkseid is going to Oa. We only begin after he's gone. Once we're there, we shut down the portal so he can't come back. Without Apokolips, he can't destroy Earth.

  Raven : How do you know he'll be gone? Did you steal his diary?

  Lois Lane : I have a source in Darkseid's camp called Sleeper. He or she has been slipping me information for months.

  Damian Wayne : No wonder you and Kent are together. You're both gullible fools. Darkseid is playing you. Or Batman is.

  Superman : The information from Lois' source has led to every victory we've had since the conquest.

  Captain Boomerang : You have a strange concept of victory, mate.

  Lois Lane : The planet's molten core will be gone in a week. Then it's game over. I know this plan has astronomical risks and impossible odds, but we're out of time.

  Etrigan : Blah, blah, blah. Let's do this thing!
