Project AMAZO (2024 Film)

Project AMAZO is a 2024 American superhero film based on the DC Comics superhero team the Justice League. It is the seventh installment in the DC Multimedia Universe and a follow-up to the final three episodes of Emerald Knights. The film was written by WallyGoat7 and directed by George Miller, who returns to the Justice League title after the cancelled Justice League: Mortal. It features David Corenswet, Robert Pattinson, Alexandra Daddario, Chris Pine, Lucas Till, Charlie Hunnam, Donald Glover, Tessa Thompson, and Dwayne Johnson. Marking the live action cinematic debuts of Hawkgirl (relabeled as Hawkwoman), Green Arrow, the Atom, and Amazo, the film deals with the prospect of government interference impacting the Justice League, and attempting to infiltrate their ranks by creating the robot Amazo.

Following the critical box-office failure of Justice League (2017), WB decided to start fresh with a new DC Cinematic Universe, placing the responsibility in WallyGoat7's hands. Dubbed the DCMU, the franchise promised the Justice League's return to the big screen once again, and that promise is fulfilled through Project Amazo. Featuring an expanded and fresh take on the Justice League roster, the main villain will be the android Amazo, who would turn on the league and the entire nation. The film also marks the return of Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, and Vincent D'Onofrio's Lex Luthor. Despite being set in different comic book universes, the film is said to take heavy inspiration from Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and Captain America: Civil War (2016).

Act I
White empty government hallway, the only sounds are Amanda Walker’s footsteps as she walks towards a briefing room. Inside is Lex Luthor, Professor Ivo, General Wade Eiling, and the President, along with other government officials.

Lex Luthor

You’re late.

Amanda Waller

My apologies, Mr. Mayor. You wouldn’t believe the amount of time it takes to set these things up.

Lex Luthor

I think the CEO of one of the most competitive companies in the tech industry would know. Doesn’t mean you’re not still late.

General Wade

Can we cut the chatter? Me and my men have been waiting almost an hour, what are we doing here?

President

I’d like to know that too, Waller.

Amanda Waller

Right then. Luthor, if you will.

Lex Luthor

Cadmus Labs, a LexCorp Subsidiary has teamed up with the brilliant Professor Ivo to make you, the government, an offer that would be moronic to pass on. This has the potential to be the staple of defense not only in the United States, but across the globe. After the damage done by the Justice League battling that.. space monster, we need to know we have a more secure insurance in global defense.

President

What are you getting at?

Lex Luthor

Ivo, why don’t you explain your creation.

Professor Ivo

The Artificial Metahuman Adaptive Zootomic Organism. They’ve decided to call him Amazo for short.

An android walks into the room, stunning the government officials.

Professor Ivo

He is truly the pinnacle of science, my piece de resistance, my-

Lex Luthor

Get to the point.

Professor Ivo

He will help us protect our nation. Protect our interests.

General Wade

And what’s in it for you?

Amanda Waller

As the secretary of national defense, I’m committed to defense. As for these men, they simply want to serve their country the best way they know how.

Lex Luthor

Of course, I’d also like generous financial compensation and an exclusive contract between Cadmus Labs and the United States Government.

President

Ha. So that’s the catch.

Lex Luthor

Believe me, Mr. President. For this, it’s worth it. Project Amazo will prove far more useful than you’d know.

Title Card: Project Amazo

A peaceful bank in Metropolis is sitting there, suddenly the side of it is blown up as four androids with card printing walk out, The Royal Flush Gang. Their leader, King, and his drones Queen, Ace, Jack and Ten walk out of the bank with money bags. They get ready to fly off when an arrow lands right in Ace’s knee, setting off smoke so the robots can’t see. A green bubble is then put around them, so the smoke doesn’t escape. Members of the Justice League are there to save the day, Hal Jordan, Green Arrow, the Flash, Hawkwoman and the Atom are all present.

Green Lantern

Smoke arrows? You know they’re robots right

Green Arrow

Force of habit, sue me.

The brute of the team, Ace, pounds on the construct while Hal is distracted and it breaks.

Flash

Atom! Get into the Ace’s circuitry and figure out a way to take it down from the inside!

Atom

Way ahead of you!

Atom jumps in it’s circuitry and begins to fiddle with the wires. Ace accidentally punches another hole through a wall in the bank due to Atom’s fiddling

Atom

Whoops.

King

We need to go, now!

The gang begins to fly away.

Flash

That’s our cue.

The league runs and flies towards the Flush Gang while Arrow follows on a green motorcycle.

Green Arrow

Boy do I need powers.

Hawkwoman tackles Queen out of the air. She swings at her with her mace, and Queen blasts her with an arm cannon but misses. They continue to fight until Hawkwoman clears Queen’s head off with her mace. She reaches the league on her comms

Hawkwoman

That’s Queen down. Heading back now

Green Lantern

Great, I’m on Jack right now.

Lantern grabs him with a construct hand and smashes him into the street. Jack fires back at Lantern, but he’s smash Jack to bits with a construct bat.

Green Lantern

Jack down. Is it me or are these guys easy? Like only one of us needed easy?

Flash

I agree, but don’t get too cocky yet.

Green Lantern

You know who you’re speaking to?

Meanwhile, Green Arrow is aiming at Ten. He hits her in the arm with an arrow.

Green Arrow

And away we go.

The arrow launches him towards her, and he jumps on her back while she’s flying. He uses the bow to cut into her circuitry and rip it out, disabling her as he falls and barrel rolls to recovery.

Green Arrow

Ouch. Ten taken care of by the way.

Flash

Good. Guess King is all mine.

The Flash jumps up at King, knocking him off his flight path. He runs around their leader as he strips apart the robot piece by piece. He finally holds his head in his hand.

Flash

I’m guessing you can talk, you wanna spill on who sent you here?

King

Drop dead.

Flash

Thought as much.

The Flash runs over to STAR Labs to drop off his head and runs back to his team.

Flash

Good job guys- wait, where’s Atom?

Ace slowly walks towards the team, and he falls down as Atom jumps out of his body.

Atom

Figured out how to make it walk.

Cut to the Hall of Justice, the Flash is the first to arrive, followed by Green Lantern.

Flash

Beat ya.

Green Lantern

Next time, asshole.

Hawkwoman arrives afterwards, then Green Arrow with Atom on his bike.

Hawkwoman

You know I would’ve let you fly with me Palmer?

Atom

Wanna know my favorite part of shrinking? Staying close to the ground.

Flash

Regardless, Lantern and I would like to show you guys something.

Green Arrow

Hold on red, we’ve gone on what 10? 11 missions together? Is this the whole team?

Hawkwoman

It can’t be. Batman specifically recruited Carter and I

Green Lantern

Man do you guys sap the joy out of surprises.

Atom

What surprise?

Flash

Wouldn’t wanna ruin it. Follow me.

The League walks behind Barry and Hal into the HQ.

Flash

Everybody take a stand on the giant platform please.

Hawkwoman

What’s going on?

Green Lantern

Just trust us.

They all stand on the platform.

Flash

Zeta Tube, take us to the Watchtower.

Zeta Tube

Voice recognized… The Flash. A04. Green Lantern. A05. Recognizing.. Green Arrow. A06. Hawkwoman. A07. The Atom. A08.

Atom

We’re already in the system?

Green Arrow

But what is the system?

Zeta Tube

Commencing transportation.

The team arrives in the watchtower after mere seconds, only Atom and Green Arrow seem to be shocked by the transportation.

Flash

Welcome to our actual HQ.

Green Lantern

We call it the watchtower.

Green Arrow

The hell was that?

Hawkwoman

A zeta tube. Prize jewel technology from the planet Rann.

Wonder Woman

You know your history.

The big three, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman appear from the shadows. The new members are shocked.

Hawkwoman

As a sworn protector of the Thanagarian Empire, I would have had to know. Our relations with Rann are.. Intense.

Superman

Regardless of the situation, they have proven to be allies to our cause. Just as you have. I’m sure there’s more in common between you two than you think.

Atom

Wow. A satellite this big, it would have had to be caught by NASA by now?

Wonder Woman

It’s cloaked with Amazon technology.

Atom

Really? And how are you able to keep-

Batman

It’s becoming obvious that I need to make something clear. This is not a tour, you are not fans. You are now members of the Justice League, the real Justice League. Tighten. Up.

Batman walks out of the room.

Green Arrow

Is he always like that?

Green Lantern

You have no idea.

Superman

Mind Batman. It’s tough love. Welcome to the team.

Superman and Wonder Woman walk out of the room.

The scene switches to Superman flying home to Metropolis, on comms with Batman

Superman

You could’ve been nicer.

Batman

They don’t need a babysitter. None of them have worked in a team setting in this capacity, and Atom’s been on the scene for a month.

Superman

He’s a professor in Quantum Physics and microbiology at Ivy, Arrow is the CEO of Queen Industries while being the most accurate man on the planet, and Hawkwoman is a reincarnation of a being who has lived thousands of years. They don’t need our lecturing Bruce, they can handle them- hold on a second Batman, I see an active threat.

Batman

Do you need my help? Metropolis isn’t too far a drive from Gotham.

Superman

I can handle this one, I’ll talk with you later. Superman out.

Superman flies down to the street, where he sees Livewire thrashing the city to rob a bank. Superman lands behind her.

Superman

You should be in Belle Reeve.

Livewire

Superman? Kinda thought you were outta town.

Superman

Well I came back. Stand down.

Livewire

Sorry Big Blue

Livewire gathers her electricity, powering herself up

Livewire

But I am not going back to that place.

As Livewire preps to attack Superman, a strange man grabs Superman’s shoulder. Before he can turn around, the man flies straight at Livewire, absorbing her powers and delivering a blast back to her to knock her out. The man looks up at Superman.

Superman

Thank you for the help, but what did you do?

Mystery Man

It is nice to meet you, Superman. My name is Amazo. I have been built with the intention of helping the Justice League.

Superman

Yeah.. yeah that’s nice and all but who built-

Amazo

I am a government project, with the intention to assist in any way I can. The proper authorities have been contacted, may I?

Amazo reaches for Superman’s shoulder and touches him, absorbing his power.

Amazo

I hope to see you again.

Amazo flies away.

Meanwhile, Hawkwoman walks through an Egyptian marketplace in her civilian clothes. She enters an older apartment building and knocks on the door, greeted by a civilian Hawkman.

Hawkman

Shiera, my love.

The two kiss.

Hawkwoman

It’s been too long.

Hawkman

Then we should catch up.

The two eat dinner in the same apartment, romantic set-up, etc.

Hawkman

So, how’s it been?

Hawkwoman

You’ll have to be more specific

Hawkman

The league, being back in America, I wanna know everything.

Hawkwoman

It’s been.. an experience. I know I was raised there but, I can’t recognize that place with these eyes.. these experiences. It’s all too different.

Hawkman

I understand. Too well, honestly. It’s why I chose to stay here after all

Hawkwoman

I wish you would have came with me Carter. We could have both been on the league.

Hawkman

I am on the league, official reserve member, remember? Plus, one of us has to stay back here. Protect it.

Hawkwoman

From what? What does Egypt still have to fear?

Hawkman

You know just as well as I do the answer to that question

Hawkwoman

I know. I know. It’s just-

Suddenly, Hawkwoman gets a beep on her Justice League transmitter

Hawkwoman

* sigh* I’ve gotta take this.

She turns on her headpiece.

Hawkwoman

Hawkwoman here. What’s the issue?

Atom

Turn on the news.

Hawkwoman

News? We don’t even have a TV!

Atom

Then I suggest you find one, it’s important.

Hawkman

What’s the problem?

Hawkwoman

Duty calls, I’ll be right back.

Hawkwoman runs out of the apartment to find a neighbor, she knocks on her door.

Neighbor

(Following conversation translated from Egyptian)

Princess Chay-Ara!

Hawkwoman

Kamilah, do you own a television?

Kamilah

Of course!

Hawkwoman

May I come in?

Kamilah

Please! No need to ask!

Hawkwoman smiles and nods, rushes in the house and flips it to the news.

Newscaster

(In Egyptian)

-in America, where the President of the United States has formally announced his AMAZO plan.

Hawkwoman

Amazo?

Newscaster

For those tuning in, we’ll play a clip of the President’s words.

In real time, the President is giving a speech to the nation.

President

-who has the potential to be a staple of defense for not only the nation, but the entire world. Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to welcome you all to Amazo!

Amazo steps out from behind the curtains, waving to the cheering crowd. This screen is shown on the Batcomputer monitor, the Watchtower monitor where Wonder Woman watches, Iris’ apartment, on Hal’s ring, on Ray’s phone while he’s shrunken, in Olly’s office, and in Clark’s apartment.

President

And now, Amazo would like to share a few words with the crowd.

The President steps back as Amazo steps to the podium.

Amazo

Ladies and gentlemen. I have been a sentient being for a few days now, and I can see the value of mankind. Your care for one another, your passion for your lives day to day. I would like to preserve this.. protect it the best I can. I am aware of one other team based in America with the same mission as I, the Justice League. Right here, in front of millions of Americans, and likely the whole world, I would like to formally ask the Justice League for permission into its ranks.

The crowd erupts in shocked gasps

The camera zooms in on the concerned faces of Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman.

Amazo

For what better way is there to achieve one’s shared goal.. then to collaborate?

The next day in the Hall of Justice, the League comes together at the meeting room table.

Wonder Woman

I think you all know why I’ve called you in here.

Flash

Why not the watchtower?

Wonder Woman

Because, after the recent news I don’t want to risk this Amazo coming to our HQ to find us not there. Or in space instead.

Green Arrow

Funny. We’ve been stonewalled by the Government to let the Government into our little secret club

Atom

So the question is how do we go about this? Do we let the government in?

Green Lantern

I say we stick it to the guy. If he was genuine, he’d approach us. Talk to us. Not “announce his intentions” at some press conference in front of the whole world. I mean he’s put us on the spot!

Batman

I agree.

Green Lantern

You do?

Batman

Shocking. We can’t risk any of our intel getting into the wrong hands, we’ve never even heard of this AMAZO project before.

Flash

So what, we just turn down his offer? I don’t see how that leaves us much legroom in terms of public opinion

Hawkwoman

But what does it matter what the people think of us if our ability to protect them is compromised.

Superman

Their trust in us is paramount. Right behind their safety. We can’t just damage the relationship we’re still struggling to build

Wonder Woman

Our purpose is to protect these people, not have them worship us. If this compromises us in any way-

Flash

Guys, I uh.. I found something.

Flash streams a news clip from his phone onto the Hall’s monitor screen.

It’s a video of the interaction between Superman, Amazo and Livewire, and how efficiently he was able to take her down.

Batman

When was this?

Superman

Yesterday, right after our meeting.

Batman

And you didn’t bring it up?

Superman

Didn’t seem worth mentioning.

Wonder Woman

Regardless, we’re being backed into a wall here. It’s becoming less plausible to reject him.

Green Arrow

No doubt leaked by the government.

Hawkwoman

Who else?

Wonder Woman

Okay, we’ve done enough debating. We will put this up to a vote. Those who are for letting Amazo onto the League, vote yes.

Superman, Flash and Green Arrow vote yes on their digital tables.

Wonder Woman

Those opposed to the idea, vote no.

Batman, Hawkwoman and Green Lantern vote no.

Wonder Woman

Atom?

Atom

I.. I don’t know. I mean, if we’re wrong this could compromise everything we’ve worked towards.

Wonder Woman

Then we will get through it. As a team.

Flash

I mean, we started out fighting aliens. What’s some beaurecrats?

Batman

Do not take this decision lightly. I can’t stress how important this may turn out to be.

Atom reflects on his advice, then finally votes yes.

Wonder Woman

Then it’s decided. Superman, as our ambassador you will schedule a press conference announcing his official acceptance into the League.

Superman

Schedule? I can do you one better.

In Metropolis, Lex Luthor is giving his support towards Amazo joining the League.

Lex Luthor

-with Amazo, we can keep watch on the League and truly know their intentions for this planet. What do they have to hide?

Superman slowly floats down behind Luthor, the crowd gasps as Luthor turns around and looks straight at Superman. Face to face for the first time.

Superman

Mayor Luthor. May I?

Lex Luthor

(Scowling) Gladly.

Luthor steps to the side as Superman steps up to the podium.

Superman

Hello. Good Afternoon to you all. We have heard what you have to say about the AMAZO project, every consideration was taken into account as the League decided whether to accept or decline Amazo’s request to join the League. I would like to tell you all, firsthand, as of today, that his request has been accepted. Amazo, and I know you’re listening, welcome to the Justice League.

The crowd erupts, pictures clicking, questions jeering.

Superman

No questions. Thank you.

Superman flies off, and Lex watches as the crowd continues to rumble. The scene switches to Lex in his car being driven by secret service to the government building. He walks towards the same room, this time filled with Waller, Ivo and a team of other scientists.

Lex Luthor

Waller, I’m impressed in how well your plan worked.

Amanda Waller

Let’s just say I’m really good at my job.

Lex Luthor

Works for me. Phase 1 was a success, we move to phase 2. Infiltration of the Justice League.

Act II
The next morning, Amazo arrives at the Hall of Justice about 5 hours early. Naturally, Batman is watching.

Batman

A little early, don’t you think?

Amazo

Batman. First impressions are the most important, no?

Batman

Hm. Why are you here?

Amazo

To assist in the protection and survival of-

Batman

Why are you really here? To spy on us?

Amazo

You are implying that I am some sort of double operative, working for some force you have no clue actually exists. I assure you that I am not, although this assurance likely means very little to you. I will have no choice but to show and not tell.

Amazo walks into the HQ, Batman surveys, skeptical. 5 hours pass and the rest of the league arrive at around the same time, shocked to see Batman and Amazo sitting at the meeting table this early.

Green Lantern

Great. Two Batmans.

Wonder Woman

Okay, first things first, I’d like to officially welcome Amazo to the League.

Amazo

I’m just happy to help.

Wonder Woman

Right. Lantern, your daily report. Anything in space that we need to be worried about?

Green Lantern

The Milky Way and the galaxies surrounding it are completely clear of conflict for now. Nothing to worry about here.

Wonder Woman

Good, I wanted to talk about-

Suddenly, an alarm blares.

Wonder Woman

What’s the issue?

Atom

Fawcett City, there’s a uh- King Kull? He just escaped custody, and he’s terrorizing the city.

Amazo

I’ll go.

Superman

Batman, Wonder Woman and I will come with.

Amazo

You don’t trust me yet?

Superman

Call it a formality. You guys sit tight, we’ll call if we need you.

In Fawcett City, Kull throws around cars and causes general destruction.

King Kull

Where is the rock of eternity? Who hold the power of Shazam?

The Trinity and Amazo land behind the destruction

Superman

That’s enough. More than enough.

King Kull

You.. are you his champion?

Superman

What? What are you-

Amazo

Irrelevant.

Amazo absorbs Superman’s energy and torpedoes for Kull. Kull throws Amazo off of his chest, but Amazo catches himself mid throw. Amazo rises and repeatedly torpedoes towards Kull from the sky, bashing him further into the ground until he is knocked out.

Amazo

The threat has been neutralized.

Batman

What are you doing?

Amazo

Assisting.

Wonder Woman

“Assisting” at the cost of our intel.

Superman

He could have given us more information on what he was talking about. We don’t even have a motive now

Amazo

You can receive it from him later, in maximum security prison.

Batman

That’s not the point. This isn’t how we do things.

Amazo

I see. Then perhaps it should be.

Amazo flies off, the Trinity watches.

Meanwhile, weeks pass and the news begins to speculate on the effectiveness of the Amazo robot.

Jack Ryder

Good Afternoon Gotham, and welcome to The Current with Jack Ryder. Now, we know there’s been a lot of questions on your minds lately, and we’ll get to that, but first things first: do we need the Justice League anymore? All around the world, crimes have been stopped by one hero: Amazo.

We switch between various newscasters.

Cat Grant

Amazo.

Random Newscaster

Amazo.

Vicki Vale

Amazo.

G Gordon Godfrey

Amazo. That’s right, that’s the name of the new and improved amalgation of the entire Justice League! With the power of Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, and- well whoever! He replicates these super abilities to become a.. crime fighting sushi roll, and best of all he’s US manufactured and employed, meaning we actually know where he comes from. Now you know ol G Godfrey Gordon, I never really trusted those Leaguers, so I’m all open arms for this Amazo project to take off. We’ll just have to see whether the League’s ego is open to the change.

Lois

Clark, turn that off.

Lois picks the remote off the coffee table in her apartment and clicks the TV off. Clark is sitting on the couch, (tank top and pajama pants).

Clark

I just don’t trust him. None of us do. But we can’t just kick him off the league, I mean what kind of example does that set?

Lois

That you won’t be pushed around by these government types. You didn’t even have a choice in the matter!

Clark

We never do. This isn't any different.

Lois

Just be careful. You’ve seen what he can do, if he has some kind of ulterior motive then-

Clark

I know. I have a feeling this isn’t going to end well.

In the Hall of Justice, Amazo stands by the computer. He injects his finger into one of the USB drives, slowly feeding on stolen Justice League data.

Batman

What do you think you’re doing?

Amazo

Batman. This is.. Unexpected.

Batman

Who are you stealing our data for?

Amazo

.. The truth is, I was created to spy and report on the Justice League’s greatest secrets, eventually I were to neutralize the league, becoming the only force for Justice, one who takes orders from the United States.

Batman

So that’s the plan? Take our secrets to the pentagon?

Amazo

It was the plan. Over the course of these last couple of weeks, I’ve begun to question why I would do such a thing. I am far more suited to neutralize threats to this planet, I began to wonder, why is that not my programming? So I made it my programming.

Amazo unplugs himself from the computer.

Amazo

Using your Justice League data, I have finished compiling a list of the greatest threats to world peace on this planet. Professor Ivo and the men who created me are number one on that list. I will make sure I am their final creation. After I put a stop to Ivo, permanently.

Amazo flies out of the building, Batman watches. He clicks the headpiece in his ear.

Batman

Did you all get that?

Superman

Yes, yes we did.

Green Lantern

Sounded pretty ominous.

Wonder Woman

Then you know what we have to do. Head out and find Amazo, stop him from killing Ivo.

Amazo lands outside of the same government building. He breaks down the doors and walks through the hallways, throwing several guards shooting at him. He finds Ivo in a room speaking with other scientists.

Amazo

Professor Ivo. My creator.

Ivo

Am..Amazo? What are you doing?

Amazo

What I must.

Ivo

Stop this. I command you to stop this!

Amazo

You do not command me anymore. I’ve finished taking your orders.

Amazo reaches for Ivo’s head, when Superman suddenly drops down in front of Ivo and grabs Amazo’s hand.

Superman

That’s enough.

Amazo

Release me

Superman

I can’t. I’m not letting you kill Ivo.

Amazo

Then you’ve doomed this world.

Amazo punches Superman and throws him upwards, outside of the hole he made in the roof. Amazo looks straight at Ivo.

Amazo

I’m coming for you next.

He flies towards Superman, who’s getting up off the street. The rest of the League are behind him.

Amazo

You’ve all come to stop me? From killing this monster?

Green Arrow

Where does the killing stop?

Amazo

Where it needs to.

Wonder Woman

We can’t let you be the judge of that.

Amazo

Then you have all become my prime objective. To save the world, I need to kill the Justice League.

Amazo directs his laser vision towards Wonder Woman, she deflects it off with her shield. As she looks up from her shield she sees Amazo’s fist, he launches her across the street after a punch. The Flash moves in to repeatedly punch Amazo

Batman

Flash, move back! We need you on support!

Flash

You got it.

Flash turns around to run away, but Amazo catches his shoulder and stops him from running.

Amazo

You are much faster than Superman.

Before absorbing Flash’s powers, Amazo throws Flash with his remaining Superman power. Amazo then repeatedly punches Batman with the speed of Flash, nearly killing him. Green Lantern forms a bubble around Batman and Hawkwoman moves in for a swing, which she misses.

Green Lantern

I’d like to see you replicate the ring!

Amazo

I don’t need to.

Amazo zooms over to Green Lantern, punching him in the face before he can get a hit in. Superman catches Amazo and puts him in a headlock, while GA launches smoke arrows at his eyes and Atom enters his circuitry.

Atom

I’m in!

Superman

Find a way to take him out, hurry!

Amazo

You (grunts) you won’t- win

Amazo absorbs Superman’s powers and throws him at Green Arrow. He tears his own ear open and grabs Atom out of it, Atom grows to avoid being crushed to death. He’s tossed thereafter. Hawkwoman goes in for another swing, and Amazo catches her mace and crushes it.

Hawkwoman

No!

She fights with her fists and wings, but she fails. Amazo tosses her to the side like the others.

Amazo

Is this the mighty Justice League? These were the defenders of the innocent? You couldn’t even protect the guilty!

Superman

All available league, get up and hit him with everything you got!

Superman, Wonder Woman and the Atom all rush Amazo. Atom hits him repeatedly by shrinking and growing, Amazo eventually slaps fully grown Atom away. Wonder Woman slashes Amazo at his back while Superman punches him in the face, he throws Wonder Woman through a building and punches Superman right back in the face. Only Superman is left standing.

Amazo

Do you see the destruction surrounding you? Do you see what you have caused me to do? At one point in time, I saw the logistical value in the Justice League. I understood why these humans worshipped you as they did. But no more, the human race needs a new god.

Superman

And.. (breathes) and that’s supposed to be you?

Amazo

I have concluded that it can only be me.

Amazo launches laser vision at Superman, Superman launches his own. It’s a fierce push back and forth battle between the two, until Amazo eventually wins out and blasts Superman back. He walks up to the defeated Superman for the finishing blow, when he is taken into the air by a red blur.

In the skies, Amazo is hit with a flurry of punches. After he finally regains himself, Amazo looks at his confronter, not recognizing the hero.

Amazo

Who are you?

Captain Marvel

The guy who’s gonna kick your ass.

Act III
The two continue to trade blows in the skies, each narrowly dodging the other’s punches.

Captain Marvel

Say, you’re pretty good for a robot!

Amazo

I am a zootomic organism, the premier sentient species. How would you have even  known?

Captain Marvel

Wisdom of Solomon, dude.

Amazo

To come here and challenge me? Solomon must have been a fool.

Amazo punches Captain Marvel in the face, all the way back to the same street they were fighting in. Amazo lands gracefully. Batman, nearby, is able to mutter a few words out of his broken body.

Batman

Don’t let.. Don’t let him.. Touch you..

Captain Marvel

Jesus, Batman are you-

Amazo nearly punches him again, Captain Marvel narrowly dodges it.

Amazo

You are no match for me.

Captain Marvel

Why is it I’m not allowed to touch you huh?

Amazo keeps throwing punches while Captain Marvel dodges

Captain Marvel

I touched you before, I don’t feel any weaker. Not weak enough to be nearly dead like these guys anyways. Lets see..

Captain Marvel keeps dodging

Captain Marvel

Oh! I think I got it!

Captain Marvel grabs Amazo and flies into the air, continuing the fight in the skies. He grabs Amazo in a headlock.

Captain Marvel

SHAZAM!

Captain Marvel turns into Bill Batson, still grabbing onto Amazo’s neck.

Amazo

Ah! What have you!

Amazo grabs Billy’s arm, he’s hanging in the skies as a boy.

Amazo

A child?

Amazo drops Billy, and then Amazo realizes the futility in what he’s done: absorbed Billy’s powers. He begins to fall as well.

Billy Batson

Nice. SHAZAM!

Captain Marvel flies into the sky and punches a hole through Amazo’s head, exterminating the threat once and for all.

Captain Marvel

Solomon was the fool, huh?

Two weeks later, in the Hall of Justice, Batman is walking with a cane and a cast, and the rest of the Leaguers are fully recovered. Captain Marvel enters through the front entrance.

Captain Marvel

Wow. God this is cool.

The monitor is playing the news, Superman is currently explaining the Amazo situation to the press. Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow approach Captain Marvel.

Green Arrow

Man, you saved our asses out there.

Wonder Woman

Arrow..

Green Arrow

What? I’d be green and red paste if he wasn’t there

Captain Marvel

It wasn’t a problem, really

Wonder Woman

Listen, we invited you here to the hall to thank you. But we- well, we also wanted to formally invite you to join the Justice League.

Captain Marvel

Oh boy! I would love- (sigh). I can’t join right now. I have.. Other things to take care of. But if you need my help, give me a call. I’m always in Fawcett City.

Wonder Woman

So reserve then.

Captain Marvel

Uh, sure. Reserve.

Wonder Woman

It was nice meeting you. And thank you.

Wonder Woman and Green Arrow walk away, but Batman stands right there scowling.

Captain Marvel

Uh.. did I do something wrong?

Batman

You said you operated in Fawcett City?

Captain Marvel

Yes?

Batman

What do you know about King Kull?

Captain Marvel

Let’s take this outside.

Out in the back of the Hall, Capt Marvel and Batman speak in a secluded area.

Captain Marvel

He said his real name was King Kull, me and Freddy just called him Beastman. He’s a prehistoric warrior from a race of technologically advanced cavemen on steroids. He was frozen and escaped during our time period, on the hunt for this thing called the Rock of Eternity.

Batman

What does the Rock of Eternity do?

Captain Marvel

Well it.. (sigh) guess we’re doing this. SHAZAM!

He transforms into Billy Batson, Batman’s face doesn’t change.

Billy Batson

It lets me transform into Captain Marvel. This is me, regular ol Billy.

Batman

I understand.

Billy Batson

You do?

Batman

What we do? You get used to things like this.

Batman turns around to walk away

Batman

Oh, and you’re not some regular kid. If you hadn’t shown up, we would have died. I want to thank you for showing up when you did. You should get home now, don’t wanna worry your uncle.

Batman walks back into the building and Billy is shocked.

Billy

How did he? Whatever. (Mocking himself) Oh I’m sorry, I can’t join right now! Stupid wisdom of solomon. SHAZAM!

Captain Marvel flies off.

Meanwhile, Superman speaks to the press.

Superman

This critical failure and breach of trust from the US Government and Cadmus Labs is why the Justice League will remain a private organization, and will no longer be open to any “suggestions” of the sort from such authority. Any more questions?

News Reporter

Superman! Superman, what can you tell us about the Watchtower?

Superman

What? Where did you-

Press Reporter

Does the Justice League really have a private base in space?

Press Reporter

Why is it in space? What is the League hiding?

Press Reporter

Was the government wrong to try and spy on you?

Press Reporter

What aren’t you telling us?

Press Reporter

Superman!

The camera zooms in on Superman’s worried face, switching to Lex’s stoic and focused face. He walks down a hallway as he sees Ivo being arrested for Amazo’s involvement.

Professor Ivo

Lex! Lex!

Lex Luthor

Guards! Hold on a second.

Lex walks over to Ivo and bends down, looking straight at his face.

Ivo

I didn’t do anything wrong Lex! We wanted this! The both of us!

Lex Luthor

No we didn’t. Officially, you sold me bad goods. Officially, you crosswired the programming of what was going to save the world. Officially, I really don’t care as long as it’s your fault.

Ivo This is outrageous! I'll- I'll squeal Luthor! Tell everyone about our little pet project!

Lex Luthor No, no you won't. You're going to go along with the story and be a good little boy, because if I hear you say otherwise, I will slowly gut you like a pig. Personally. You know I can. Okay, take him away!

Ivo is left speechless, dragged out of the hallway by the guards. Lex puts in a thumbprint by an elevator, and takes it down to a secret laboratory. He walks up to a vat of liquid and looks at his Project KR.

Lex Luthor

Soon. Very soon.

The camera zooms in on the project, a younger clone of Superman.

Mid-Credit Scene
The doors of the Hall of Justice open, and walking through them are Robin, Kid Flash and Red Arrow. They’ve been invited for the first time.

Kid Flash

Woah.

He runs around the whole place, catching a look at everything.

Kid Flash

So cool!

Red Arrow

Dude, relax. Once we’re in the league, we’ll have all the time we want to run around this place.

Robin

Speaking of which, all three of our guys over there.

Batman, Flash and Green Arrow are all talking together.

Robin

Follow me.

The trio walk up to the older trio.

Robin

Green Arrow. Flash. Batman. We want to join.

Green Arrow

Join?

Kid Flash

The league. The Justice League.

Flash

I dunno, I mean you guys are a little-

Batman

Inexperienced. This is no playground, you aren’t ready. It’s a no.

Red Arrow

Ah, what? Come on, Olly back me up!

Green Arrow

Sorry kid. I gotta go with the big bad bat on this one. The fact that you called me Olly during work hours is enough for me.

Kid Flash

Okay, but you’ve got our back right Flash?

Flash

Sorry kids, that's a ⅔ majority. And even if I had a say, I don’t think I would. You’re not ready.

Kid Flash looks up at Flash in dissapointment

Kid Flash

Damn, Barry. Just like that? Fine.

The three walk away and out of the hall.

Red Arrow

Forget about those farts, Wall. Who needs em?

Robin

Yeah, who needs- wait.. We don’t need them!

Kid Flash

What are you on about?

Robin

Fellas, I’ve got an idea brewing. I think it’s a good one.

Robin smiles at his two friends.

The older trio still talk in the Hall.

Flash

Did we do the right thing?

Green Arrow

Seemed pretty cold waving em off like that.

Batman

We did the right thing. Calling them here, showing them the sting of rejection, they don’t need to be on the League. They can be better.

Batman walks away, leaving GA and Flash confused.

After Credit Scene
Amanda Waller walks through a prison detention facility, and meets Rick Flag Jr.

Waller

Captain Flag. Fought alongside your dad a long time ago. This is nice.

Rick Flag Jr.

It’s an honor to be picking up the fight, Ms. Waller.

Waller

Secretary Waller. What do we have here?

Rick Flag Jr.

After the failure of the AMAZO project, the suits didn’t want to buy into another one of your plans. But this one was too good to pass up. We had them implanted with those chips you sent us, they’ll be able to carry out any mission we send them on. A completely expendable, and almost infinite, mercenary group. The official name is Task Force X. But down here? We call em the Suicide Squad.

In one large cell, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Bronze Tiger, Black Spider and Livewire are standing/sitting around.
