Earth 2: World's End (2014)- Apokolips Now (Transcript)

SCENE 1: THE MULITVERSE

THE MULITVERSE IS A LARGE NUMBER OF PLANETS THAT FORM A SPIRAL CIRCILING AWAY FROM A SUN, AMONG THE PLANETS IS EARTH 2 AND APOKOLIPS.

ALAN SCOTT: (V.O)

We of this Earth are so small and powerless... yet every decision we make spawns a new world. And one terrible mistake can create a future that we must endure for the rest of our lives... I wish I'd realized this before I was Earth's Green Lantern. Back when I was just Alan Scott, before I forgot to listen to the people who cared about me most.

SCENE 2: EARTH 2 (FLASHBACK) GOTHAM CITY- ALAN SCOTT'S APARTMENT

IN GOTHAM CITY, ALAN AND SAM ARE IN SCOTT'S APARTMENT. SAM IS SITTING ON THE SOFA WITH AN OPEN LAPTOP ON THE COFEE TABLE. THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A SERIOUS DISCUSION.

ALAN SCOTT:

I appreciate your concern, Sam, but this “Boom Tube” technology, as he calls it... it's fascinating. Imagine, Global Broadcasting Company could be broadcasting beyond our world.

SAM STANDS UP, PUTTING HIS HAND ON HIS SHOULDER.

SAM ZHAO:

You can't trust this guy, Alan. Dr. Sloan is using G.B.C as a front. I'm telling you... The Jaunt Initiative is too damned dangerous.

ALAN TAKES SAM'S HAND, WHO LOOKS DOWN AT THE FLOOR AS ALAN POINTS TO THE SKYLINE.

ALAN SCOTT:

You're the angel on my shoulder, Sam, and I love you for it. But look around... The world is doing fine, and I can make it even better.

ALAN SCOTT: (V.O)

I trusted myself above all others... Even Sam.

SAM ZHAO:

Don't do this, Alan.

ALAN SCOTT:

Dr. Sloan believes we can make physical contact with other dimensions! This will put my name in the history books, Sam.

SAM ZHAO:

Then why are you keeping it a secret?

ALAN SCOTT:

The history books aren't ready just yet.

SAM ZHAO:

And you trust yourself to make that call? For all of humankind? I'm not asking you to stop the research. Just make it public...

ALAN SCOTT:

Enough, Sam I can do this alone. I'm Alan Scott, remember?

SAM BENDS OVER THE LAPTOP AND BEGINNING TO TYPE.

SAM ZHAO:

How could I forget? This is for your own good, Alan. I just hope I'm not too late.

SCENE 6- THE 9TH DIMENSION

ON A ROCKY, MOUNTAINOUS PLANET, THE PARADEMON LEGION MARCH TO WAR. APOKOLIPTAIN DINOSAURS WALK AMONGST THEM.

STEPPENWOLF AND FURY ARE WATCHING THE ADVANCE.

STEPPENWOLF:

By giving us entry to this world, the traveler has saved his own, my daughter.

FURY:

We will feed this doomed world to Apokolips... For Darkseid.

GRUNDY IS WALKING HIGH ABOVE THE ARMY ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, WALKING WITH THEM.

FURY: (CON'T)

Even the Avatars of this weak planet were easily seduced.

THEY LOOK DOWN AT THE ARMY. AMONGST THEM, BARDA AND MR. MIRACLE ARE BEING FORCED TO WALK. THERE HANDS ARE TIED BEHIND THEIR BACK. MIRACLE IS IN FRONT, HIS HEAD BOWED. BARDA HAS HER HEAD HELD PROUDLY.

FURY: Why are there traitors amongst us?

STEPPENWOLF:

The traveler is shrewd, but his mind will not be enough, Fury. We may soon have a need for Mister Miracle's improbable mental gifts.

FURY:

And my disgraced mentor? Shall I give her a quick death?

STEPPENWOLF:

Barda's skills have more... direct applications. A powerful Amazon inhabits this world, and she will not be easily vanquished.

FURY:

You speak of my mother. Wonder Woman.

STEPPENWOLF SMILES.

STEPPENWOLF:

Diana is your mother in name only, Fury. Remember that you are first a soldier of Apokolips. And you will always be your father's daughter.

You got it, dad.

ACCOUNTABLE:

… Very naughty, Dr. Sloan. Accountable is going to have to hold you... Wait, why am I talking to myself?

OUTSIDE THE PLANE HAS LOWERED TO ROOF HIGHT.

BATMAN: (O.S)

Signal locked. Accountable is head of the syndicate, so expect heavy resistance. Stay focused.

ROBIN: (O.S)

I'm not even old enough for a learner's permit, remember? This is me focused.

INSIDE JAMES GETS SCARED AT THE SIGHT OF A PARADEMON, WHOSE PICTURE HAS FORMED IN THE SWIRLING ENERGY ORB.

ACCOUNTABLE:

What's that thing!?

BATMAN AND ROBIN KICK DOWN THE DOOR AND JAMES WHIPS HIS HEAD AROUND TO FACE THEM.

BATMAN:

James Olsen! You're wanted for treason!

ACCOUNTABLE:

Wait, Bruce, people have to see this! Terry Sloan is bringing something... transmitting..

BATMAN USES A GAS GUN TO KNOCK ACCOUNTABLE OUT.

BATMAN:

“Bruce”? This kid knows way too much.

SCENE 8: METROPOLIS- INSIDE DAILY PLANET BUILDING

I don't know why those rotten Accountable hackers love you,, Lois, but by the boots of Mercury... I'm glad they do!

The scoop was cut off mid- transmission, Perry. I've got a bad feeling...

This is the first 8 pages of the story- Full transcript will be added soon.

Pride (2014 Film Review)

This movie is just brilliant and a must see.

Based on true events, this film tells the story about the group L.G.S.M (Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners) and how they raised money and worked alongside the miners during the miner's strike in 1984 under the rule of Maggie Thatcher. 

The cast as a collective are just wonderful and are so flawless that it is very hard to pick out a stand out performance, but if I had to I would say that it was Imelda Staunton, who steals many of the scenes she is in. But like I said before everyone is knockout, making you want to laugh, whilst showing the grit of the time. 

While Billy Elliot and Brassed Off (who also deal with the Miner's Strike) show how bad the times were more vividly, this film focuses more on solidarity and friendship.

A fantastic film with mammoth heart and a stellar cast, you can't leave this film not feeling joyful.... Overall it is spectacular.

Elizabeth Black (The Flash)

First Appearance: ?
First Mentioned: Fastest Man Alive

Elizabeth is the wife of Danton Black, who died from a degenerative coronary.

She had been on an organ transplant list for many years, so Danton tried to research cellular regeneration and cloning in order to save her. However when he had perfected the work, Simon Stagg stole his work and fired him, taking the credit and the reward for the Scientific discovery. This led to her death and taking up criminal activities (Multiplex)

Danton tried to kill Stagg for revenge, as he was unable to save her and he took everything he had away from him.

Parademons (The New 52)

First Appearance: Justice League (2011) Issue 1- Justice League, Part One

The foot soldiers for Darkseid and his attack force in conquering planets, based on Apokolips.

The Parademons attack formed the Justice League and several heroes/ villains.

Batman pursued a Parademon wearing a hood covering his face, while he himself is being chased by G.C.P.D helicopters in an effort to interrogate it. The G.C.P.D's attack allowed the Parademon to get away to the other roof, watching with interest as Batman uses smoke pellets to avoid arrest. However Batman fires his grapnel hook through the demons leg and he roars in pain, starting to run and drag him close, leading to him tackling it. Batman gets on top of the Parademon, beginning to interrogate it. The Parademon had been at Gotham Dock when Batman had arrived, according to witnesses trying to plant a bomb. Batman makes a threat, but the Parademon just explodes, trying to kill him.

The Parademon takes advantage in the fight, until the arrival of Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) and smashes a firetruck energy construct into it. The Parademon gets back up, shooting down a helicopter with a fire blast from his mouth. In the confusion, the Parademons escapes, changing into an insect like creature and scuttling off into the sewer systems. There it begins to fuse a Mother Box to the wall. Upon seeing Green Lantern the Parademons squawks "Hail Darkseid" and explodes again. This time killing itself in order to protect the Mother Box. 

This only contains information on issue 1, the rest will come soonish.

The Riddler tagged a riddle to the body to tax Batman and play a game of cat and mouse with his enemy.
