(Wonder Woman) Previously on "Justice League.."
Home at last.
What?
Mother! No.
I should have been here to protect you.
Who are you?
Felix Faust.
'I came here in pursuit of ultimate knowledge.'
To gain this, I must find the fragments
of an ancient sacred relic.
I'll restore your sisters
if you help me get the other fragments.
I say we go back and kick that would-be sorcerer's butt.
No. Men are forbidden from ever setting foot on Themyscira.
[grunting]
(Superman) Diana?
Where's Superman?
[gasps]
What kind of horror have we unleashed?
The relics will soon be here.
And then, Lord Hades, the world will be ours.
[theme music]
[music continues]
Powerful forces are at work here.
Tell me something I don't know.
I hope I didn't hurt you.
Let's just say I'm glad
we're usually on the same team.
I wonder how the others are doing?
(Batman) 'Diana, I've dug up something on your friend, Faust.'
(Diana) 'What is it?'
I think you better see for yourself.
rumble
(J'onn) 'Fascinating.'
Faust clearly has a great passion for learning.
Where did he get this stuff?
Warlocks-R-Us?
Don't touch that.
pew pew
- Oops. - Don't touch anything!
We don't know what kind of powers
we're dealing with.
So who is this Faust?
(Batman) Felix Faust was once a respected professor
'of archaeology.'
But when he became fascinated with the mystic arts
he was kicked out of the university
for his heretical ideas.
He swore revenge on those who mocked him
and several later disappeared
under mysterious circumstances.
I have a pretty good idea what happened to them.
- Ew! - He's mad.
(Batman) It gets worse.
I found his journal.
The last entries make reference to Tartarus.
splatt
The pit of lost souls.
Isn't that just a myth?
If only it were.
(Wonder Woman) Long ago, in ancient times
my mother, Hippolyta, fell in love with a God
Lord Hades.
When war broke out between the Olympian Gods
and their ancient foes, The Titans
Hades struck a treasonous bargain with the enemy.
He would deliver Mount Olympus into the Titans' hands.
In return, he would be given dominion over all humanity.
Hades tricked my mother into opening the gates of Olympus
to the invading Titans.
There was a battle of which the muses still sing.
The Gods fought back and eventually prevailed.
As punishment for his treachery
Zeus cast Hades into the pit of Tartarus
where he would rule over the dead for all eternity.
And for her unwitting role in Hades' plot
my mother was charged with guarding the gateway
to the underworld.
To make sure the gate could never be unlocked
it's only key was broken up
and scattered across the globe.
Mother told me she kept one of the pieces
in the temple
as a daily reminder of her eternal shame.
Then these relics we've been gathering
are parts of the key?
But why would Faust want it?
Only one reason.
He intends to use it.
Where is this gateway to the underworld?
Beneath Themyscira.
Diana, you can't give Faust the key.
If I don't, my mother and sisters
will remain petrified forever.
And if you do..
...it could mean the end of the world.
What are you going to do?
(Faust) 'I should thank you for raising such a devoted daughter.'
She was so eager to cooperate.
Faust!
Back already? And with hours to spare.
I'm impressed.
Have you got the relics?
First, free my mother.
Oh, yes. Yes. Of course.
Raedis vitae.
Oh.
Mother.
(Faust) 'After 3,000 years'
the key is finally complete.
Diana, you didn't.
Thank you for your assistance
but now that your usefulness is over..
Petro fatis!
What?
You're not the only one
with an ace up your sleeve, pal.
What is this?
[grunts]
You brought men here..
...to Themyscira?
Did you really think, she'd trust a scum like you?
It's over, Faust. Come along quietly.
Never!

Now you see me
'now you don't.'

Too late. She's gone.
And so is the key.
No.

There's only one place they could have gone.
Follow me.

Whoa. What's that smell?
Don't ask.

I beg you, stop this.
You don't know what you're doing.
I know exactly what I'm doing.
I've dreamt of this moment my whole life.
Now, let's not keep our new Lord waiting.

No!

Hera, help us.
[dramatic music]
Free at last.
Welcome, Lord Hades.
To honor you, I've brought an offering.
Do my eyes deceive me?
'Can it be my dearest, Hippolyta'
here to greet her Lord and master
on his triumphant return from..
Ah, but you know what I mean.
Not a day has passed that I haven't been reminded
of your treachery.
And not a day has passed that I haven't longed
to feel the sweet touch..
...of living flesh again.
(Faust) My Lord
I've upheld my end of the bargain.
'I delivered your freedom and the Amazon Queen.'
Now I demand what you promised me.
Ah, yes. Ultimate knowledge.
Ultimately..
...pain and suffering are all man will ever know.
[grunting]
Good Lord.
[instrumental music]
[grunts]
Hurry, mother.
Hippolyta..
...you didn't tell me you had a daughter.

I wonder if she's as loving as her mother?

Diana, the key. It's our only hope.
[screaming]
You will be mine and mine alone.
Diana, destroy the key!
[grunting]
No!
Back to the pit, you monster.

Aah!

Ah! I've got you.

Hippolyta!

[dramatic music]
Ah...he's gone?
What did you ever see in him?
Ancient history.
Thank, Athena, it's finally over.
Is it?
What about our Amazon sisters?
[dramatic music]
Is there nothing we can do for them?
I still have this snake-headed doohickey.
But only Faust knew the spells.
Without him..
Yow!
swoosh
whirr
boom
Look.
But how?
Faust's enchantment could only last
as long as he willed it.
So now that he's gone, the spell is broken.
- It's a miracle. - Athena be praised.
(Hippolyta) 'And for your brave assistance'
against the sorcerer, Faust
and the mad God, Hades
you have earned our eternal gratitude.
Did you hear that? Eternal gratitude.
After she hands out the medals
how about you and me taking a private tour of paradise?
- She wants me. - Indeed.
(Hippolyta) 'Before you leave'
please accept these royal offerings.
[instrumental music]
You are all truly heroes.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Cool.
Diana, Princess of Themyscira
stand forth.
As your mother
I am overjoyed
that you have finally returned to us.
But as your queen
I am obliged to uphold the laws of Themyscira.
And in bringing these outsiders to our island
you have broken our most sacred law.
This cannot be overlooked.
But, mother..
Diana, I have no choice.
It is with a heavy heart that I must exile you..
...from Themyscira.
- What? - You can't do that.
She risked her butt to save all of you.
She.. Hey!
Please, she did this because she loves you.
- You can't punish her for that. - No, mother's right.
I did break the law
and I humbly accept your judgment.
The fates were against us, mother.
Goodbye.
Present arms!
[instrumental music]
That's it? You're just gonna walk away?
This is so bogus.
Don't make this harder than it already is.
[music continues]
Diana..
Let's go.
[music continues]
whoosh
May Hera watch over you
my little sun and stars.
