(Hall of Doom)
(The Legion of Doom is seen celebrating their victory)
Vandal Savage: To victory.
Legion of Doom: To victory.
Vandal Savage: To the Legion of Doom.
Legion of Doom: To the Legion of Doom.
Deathstroke: Wait. A further toast. So many before me have been trying to kill Batman for nearly 10 years. Well, this time, I did better than kill him... I humiliated him.
Reverse Flash: Hear, hear. Each of us finally got the better of our opposite numbers... and it's all thanks to the genius of one man... Vandal Savage.
Sivana: Yes, he's the man.
Ocean Master: Ha, ha, to the man.
Sinestro: And his checks clear.
Deathstroke: I love my money.
Vandal Savage: Our business is completed. You are, of course, free to go.
Maxima: You hinted at a larger scheme and said there would be a place for us in it... should we so choose.
Vandal Savage: I did. And the offer remains open to you all. But I fear you may lack the vision to go along with me. The next stage of my plans might be considered... genocidal.
Sivana: What are you gonna do, destroy the world?
Vandal Savage: Nothing so crude. Half. Two-thirds at the most. It's not a joke. It's the next step in a plan to transform the planet in a manner... that will render your $100-million payday both trivial and meaningless.
Deathstroke: What possible profit could there be in destroying the world?
Vandal Savage: The first thing you have to understand is that I am old. Older than the human race. I know that you believe this to be true. It is true.
(Flashback to 80.000 years ago)
Vandal Savage: Eighty thousand years ago... I was living in what is now the island of Sumatra.
(Various meteors are seen as Vandal Savage is seen hiding in a cave)
Vandal Savage: One night, the sky lit up with streaks of fire. Meteors. But my primitive mind thought the stars were falling from the sky.
(Vandal Savage sees a meteor in his valley)
Vandal Savage: One meteor fell to Earth in my valley. My compatriots ran... but it was very cold and the glowing stone was warm. I slept there... bathed in the meteor's strange radiations.
(Vandal Savage is seen waking up and realizes something changed within him)
Vandal Savage: And when I awoke the next morning, I was forever changed. The radiation mutated me, evolving me. I was instantly aware of my increased intelligence. It was only with the passage of time that I discovered the rest of my gift.
(Flashback ends)
Vandal Savage: So far as I know, I cannot die.
Cheetah: Is that a fact?
Vandal Savage: Go ahead.
(Then Cheetah slits Vandal Savage's throat and he falls down, bleeding)
Maxima: Why did you do this?
Cheetah: Don't you realize what he's planning? In his new world, our money doesn't matter.
Vandal Savage: (gets up) You are correct. Money won't matter. It's trivial in the long run. Let me tell you about the long run. I've lived thousands of lives. I've been a laborer, a scientist, a priest, an artist, a healer, a thief. But most often a conqueror.
Deathstroke: I'm still not seeing how this makes up for my money.
(Flashback to 75.000 year ago)
Vandal Savage: Seventy-five thousand years ago... a disaster nearly rendered humanity extinct. I enslaved the survivors and ruled with an iron hand. In a few generations... my people were well under way to repopulating the Earth... and becoming the planet's dominant species.
(Flashback ends)
Vandal Savage: I was happy then.
Maxima: Let me get this straight. You're taking the world over out of nostalgia?
Vandal Savage: I'm taking over because humanity is prideful and belligerent... the Union is a living proof of that... and once again humanity needs my guiding hand. But before I take over, I intend to soften them up. By destroying half the world. Those who survive will happily follow a leader... who offers food, comfort and order.
Reverse Flash: That could work.
Vandal Savage: It will work. To you, my warlords, I offer dominion over as much of what remains of the planet... as each of you can hold, second only to me. Interested?
Sinestro: You haven't left us much choice.
Sivana: Heh, how do you propose to kill that many people?
Deathstroke: Even without the Justice League, there are heroes like the Dekaranger, who will fight.
Vandal Savage: They'll lose.
(Then Vandal Savage shows a footage of the Space Station LOKI)
(At Dekaranger Base)
Richard: I'll tell you what we will do to defeat this Legion of Doom.
(Then the screen goes black)
