Hello CBMers!!!
Basic premise, after the big victory a few of our favorite superheroes gather for some drinks and a little discussion. Allowing commentary on comic book movie things and whatnot. Ok, so gathered here today we have: Atom, Zatanna, Hawkman, Black Lightning, and special guests: Dr. Psycho and Bane! The second shift crew. This week, they must monitor the recently captured villains as they await transfer to the Supermax.
The Watchtower's teleportation dock illuminates brightly, with three figures taking form. Atom walks with two comically contrasting figures who are in shackles. One is the tall muscular Bane and the other, diminutive odd appearing Dr. Psycho. The three walk over to the large round 'Table of Justice', where the other members of the Second Shift are already seated.
ATOM:
I can't believe we got suckered into babysitting.
Shakes his head.
ZATANNA:
Don't worry , it shouldn't be that long. Just waiting for the Supermax to get their teleportation system online. They said it shouldn't be long.
ATOM:
We'll see I suppose. At least Batman got us these wrist gadgets, so Dr. Psycho can't mess with our minds.
Motions to the two prisoners. Go head, take a seat.
Bane sits down, a large figure in the chair. Dr. Psycho takes a seat besides him, his head just barely appears over the table's edge. Hawkman laughs loudly, while the others try to suppress their own giggles.
DR. PSYCHO:
Please, continue to find this humorous. Maybe you'll begin to understand how I became a psychopathic, murderous villain. I could make you pay so badly Hawkman. Lucky you have those wristbands to limit my powers affect on you. I would make you tremble in uncontrollable fear and anguish.
HAWKMAN:
Sure thing little guy. I don't think we've met, I'm the one and only indomitable Cawkman! You...well...you're a Wonder Woman villain. The only way you could possibly have me trembling, is if you told me you just got cast as an Ewok in the new Star Wars films.
Atom walks over and adjusts Dr. Psycho's chair, raising him to a more regular height.
ATOM:
Returns to his chair and looks at Zatanna. So, what did you end up doing this past weekend?
ZATANNA:
Oh...well, you remember that whole embarrassing situation the other week with Shazam...I felt bad about it. I decided to take the kid to a movie. His choice, which was a mistake, because we saw the new Transformers film.
Everyone at the table lets out a slightly audible groan in unison.
BANE:
Perhaps! It would have been more enjoyable for you to view as I do the Transformer's movies. You see, I wait until they're released on DVD, then I purchase a copy, bring it home. Take the DVD and tape it to the brick wall, and then...PUNCH!! I smash it to a hundred little pieces. The best way to view them. My review, "A smashing good time."
DR. PSYCHO:
If you think that is bad. I will go into a huge packed theater, and manipulate the entire audience's mind...so they watch the entire film with the original animated Transformers in it. Why do you think there're some people out there that enjoy these movies. Will swear by them. Hahahaha....
BLACK LIGHTNING:
Guess we should give the little guy some points for creativity.
Looks over at Zatanna. Did you see the trailer for that Dawn of the Planet of the Apes film? Looks good, huh?
BANE:
Perhaps!! You are ill informed hero. That movie looks intentionally awful. Everytime I see it, I can only cringe and think about what I would do if that were me. Apes on horses? PUNCH! PUNCH! One for the ape, one for the horse. Apes want to learn math? PUNCH! Apes want to talk? PUNCH! Straight to the throat.
HAWKMAN:
Hate to say it, but I agree with Bane. I didn't like the first one. I mean how in the hell could those filmmakers add James Franco to the cinema landscape built by the greatest actor of all time Charlton Heston!
ATOM:
I thought you said Crocodile Dundee was the world's greatest actor?
HAWKMAN:
Leers at Atom. You put that in your diary? No man, Paul Hogan comes in second. Third place is reserved for Shia LaBeouf. Now that's the true tragedy of that new Transformers movie. How dare they replace Shia!
ZATANNA:
Speaking of him, I heard he got arrested again recently. At some theater in New York City.
HAWKMAN:
You lie, woman! How dare you speak so ill of our national treasure. Where...where the hell did I put my mace? What did he do anyway?
ZATANNA:
Not entirely certain. I heard he was talking loudly, eating, and smoking during the play.
BANE:
Appears dumbfounded and confused. And this...this is not allowed?
BLACK LIGHTNING:
Man, all this talk of plays and whatnot.
BL shudders. Just reminded me, I have to see my daughter's elementary school play this weekend. All the student's parents were asked to submit ideas for which play they should do. I knew, now way in hell they'd choose mine.
ATOM:
Which was...???
BLACK LIGHTNING:
Oh, uh...Django Unchained. Bunch of prudes there, man. They chose some crap like that 'Frozen' crap.
ZATANNA:
Yeah, I don't think 'Django Unchained' would have translated well to the stage.
BLACK LIGHTNING:
So doctor dude, could you have some delayed release thing. You know...think you could trick my mind for that play...so that I think I'm watching the new Spiderman film instead?
DR. PSYCHO:
You'd just be trading in one form of punishment for a different form. No, the only one here I want to use my powers on, is sitting there.
Points his handcuffed hands at Hawkman. But I don't think he has the stones to let me try and make him tremble. More of a chicken than hawk.
HAWKMAN:
Come on man, you're short. Ok...look, go head. Give me your best shot. If I start screaming in fear put my wrist device back on BL. Here.
Hawkman removes the wrist device and hands it over to Black Lightning. After a minute, Hawkman begins to shrill and scream in fear. Black Lightning puts the device back on Hawkman.
BLACK LIGHTNING:
Damn man! What was it? What happened?
HAWKMAN:
Appears to be in shock; eyes wide open, sweating, mouth agape, and his bottom lip trembling. My God. He...h-h-he m-made me s-s-see a literal Cawkman.
BLACK LIGHTNING:
Looks very puzzeled. I don't get it. He made see your self?
HAWKMAN:
Stares intensely at Black Lightning. NO. A LITERAL Cawkman...a six foot tall...walking, talking...
BLACK LIGHTNING:
Wait...you're telling me, OH!
Black Lightning's expressions go from confused to severe disgust. No way!!!! That's sick man!!
HAWKMAN:
You don't want to even know where his mace was.
ZATANNA:
Slightly giggling. So what're Batman's plans this week, Atom?
ATOM:
Whew...
Opens the single folder before him. Another weird one. Just a picture of that Star Wars guy...the...uh...what the hell is his name....Ackbar? The admiral fish?
ZATANNA:
Looks distressed. Oh no! It's a trap. ¡Leaver Part!
As Zatanna shouts the spell, Bane begins to mysteriously dissipate into thin air. Dr. Psycho begins laughing uncontrollably.
DR. PSYCHO:
You lame excuses for Leaguers. Ha! We got you! Bane has gotten away! Free to return to the Secret Society and continue his mission of punching iconic landmarks across the globe. Hahahahaha!
BLACK LIGHTNING:
Damn! Who's going to tell Batman?
Black Lightning, Zatanna, and Hawkman move their heads at the same time, all looking at Atom.
ATOM:
Aww, c'mon guys!!!
Thank you so much for the read!!! Please let me know what you think and hit that red thumb! Thanks again!
