(Batman is examining Flash in the med bay)

(Batman then gives Flash a dose of smelling salts, waking him up from the knockout)

Flash: Ugh... My head... What did you hit me with?

Batman: The element of surprise

Flash: Wait, am I inside the bat cave?

Batman: Why did you attack me?

Flash: Listen, I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I just felt this... rage. It overwhelmed me, and I couldn't stop myself

Batman: What are you doing in Gotham?

Flash: Wonder Woman asked me to help. That's when Cat Woman and those other guys showed up

Batman: Any details on the mystery men?

Flash: One of them was all burned up, but he could run as fast as me. The other guy had an Australian accent and a cyber eye

Batman: I'd like to run some tests

Flash: I told you I'm- AAAAH!

(Flash's eyes begin to glow yellow)

Batman: What's happening?

Flash: Get away! I can't control- GAAAAH!

(A blinding flash of yellow shines as someone appears out of thin air)

Scorpion: What sorcery is this?!

Batman: Interesting...

Scorpion: Sub Zero?! Coward. First you hide behind others, now you hide behind an illusion?! There is no escape from Scorpion!

(Scorpion pounds his fist into his hand)

Scorpion: FIGHT!

(Batman fights Scorpion and wins with a glide kick)

Batman: Whatever Scorpion is, Wonder Woman, it isn't human

Wonder Woman: What about Flash?

Batman: I think Flash and this... Scorpion creature switched places during some kind of teleportation event

Wonder Wonder: Keep me informed of your progress

Batman: I will. Batman out

(An alarm blares)

Batman: Another energy anomaly similar to Scorpion's frequency? In the heart of Gotham?

(Soon, the bat mobile is cruising down the street when a joker doll hits the windshield)

(Batman slams on the brakes, making the doll go flying and explode in the air)

Batman: I don't have time for this nonsense

(Batman gets out of the bat mobile)

Joker: No no no! You were supposed to DIE when that clown exploded!

Batman: Sorry to ruin your night, Joker

(Batman fights the Joker and wins with a spinning kick)

Joker: Ok ok! I give up!

Batman: I've heard that one before

(Batman slaps some cuffs onto Joker's wrist)

(Someone appears out of thin air)

Batman: This night just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Stay where you are

Joker: Yeah, that's gonna happen...

Batman: Who are you?

Liu Kang: I am Liu Kang

Batman: Are you injured? I can help you

(Liu Kang's eyes glow yellow, and he sees Shang Tsung instead of Batman)

Liu Kang: I thought I defeated you, sorcerer!
By the elder gods, I will finish you!

(Batman fights Liu Kang and wins with a shock punch)

(Scorpion speeds away in the bat mobile)

(Liu Kang is on the ground unconscious)

Batman: No Joker, and no Scorpion. This little distraction means two deadly menaces are out on the loose. At least you're not going anywhere

(Batman taps his earpiece)

Batman: Green Lantern, this is Batman. I have a prisoner I need to examine in a secure location. I need an extraction to the orbital station

Green Lantern: I've been having problems with my ring. It may have been damaged during the battle with Darkseid. But I should still he able to transport you. Just give me a few minutes

(Later, at the watchtower)

(Liu Kang is tied to a chair)

Batman: Something about him isn't making sense. I could buy that Scorpion came from apokalypse, but this man is different

Green Lantern: According to you, Flash had the same kind of psychotic condition

Batman: I'm not sure, but we may be witnessing the beginning of another invasion

Green Lantern: I'll leave the detective work to you. I'm going to look for Superman

(Green Lantern walks out)

Martian Manhunter: Perhaps the blood sample you have procured will shed some light on the invader's origin

Batman: Computer, run the blood sample from Liu Kang and try to match it with any known alien blood type in the database

(The computer scans for a moment)

Compter: No matches for blood type

Martian Manhunter: That is unfortunate

Batman: Hmmm... I need to know if we should expect any more-

(An alarm blares)

Batman: -visitors

(A crash is heard as lightning fills the room)

(A bunch of guards run in the room, only to be met by Kung Lao)

Raiden: You will release Liu Kang at once!

(Raiden hits Batman with a blast of lightning, who is unfazed)

Batman: Let me guess, you're from the same place as Liu Kang and Scorpion?

Raiden: How is this possible?

Batman: Insulated armor

Echo: You and me, green bean

(Echo and Martian Manhunter start fighting in the background)

Raiden: You will release Liu Kang

Batman: First I need answers

Raiden: Release Liu Kang, or I will take him from you!

(Batman fights Raiden and wins with an explosive batarang)

(Echo uses his power nullifier on Martian Manhunter, and knocks him out with a dragon punch)

(Raiden quickly grabs Liu Kang and Echo, then teleports away)

(Kung Lao knocks down Green Lantern with a palm strike)

(Batman looks out the window and sees the earth with cracks that glow yellow)

Batman: It's worse than I suspected. Much worse
