Waller: I’d watch my back if I were you. Your gang of superfriends is on its way to making some real enemies.
In a flash of yellow light, she disappears.
Ivy: Where did she go?!
Clark looks up.
Superman: It's like she slipped through space. No energy trail, no path. She’s just… gone.
Ivy: Then she was right about one thing. We have some powerful enemies. I know it's ironic coming from me, Bats, but your new hippie outlook isn’t gonna cut it. Superman, when can we start?
Superman: Now. The first order of business is taking Riddler and separating what’s left of Brainiac from him.
Riddler: No!
Riddler tries to stand, but his damaged body slumps to the ground.
Ivy: Looks like someone was playing dead to avoid Mommy.
Riddler: Shut it, you overqualified florist! The genius of my strategy is unmatc-
Clark grabs him at superspeed.
Superman: <span class="mu-s">Don’t</span> talk to my friends like that. Just be still, you’ve been injured. I’m going to take you to The Fortress and help you.
Riddler: No. What you’ll do is let me go. Unless you want the world to know Batman is Bruce Wayne! Or will the world’s greatest hero prove himself a hypocrite and imprison me for life without trial?

Riddler: eep!
Batman: Wait. I have an idea. What time is it when an elephant sits on a fence?
Riddler: Pfft. Time to get a new fence. Everyone knows that. It's worthless.
Batman: Exactly. A riddle everyone knows isn't a riddle at all. A secret everyone knows is “worthless.” If everyone knows who Batman is, you go from being the man who knows Gotham’s biggest riddle, to just a man. Your ego can’t handle that.
He raises his finger as if to answer, then lowers it in silence.
Batman: I think he’s ready to go.
Frostbite: And what about us? Where do we go now?
Michael groggily wakes up, still shaking from the brain drain Brainiac did.
Evo: Hopefully somewhere with a massage chair. I feel like I’ve been planking for hours.
Batman: You’ve been controlled your whole lives. That ends here. Your future is your own. I can provide funds, and medical treatment, and get you in touch with your families if you want, but it is your choi-
Frostbite: An aquarium
Ivy: Wha-?
Leon: I want to work in an aquarium. I always liked animals. Frostbite just killed stuff. Leon wants to keep things alive.
Evo: And what about our fearless leader? Something tells me he won't be satisfied with a comfy life waiting for the new Game of Thrones.
He turns to Matthew, still catatonic after your psychic clash
Batman: I know someone who can help.
