[English]

[Music]

What a lovely underwater ornament. This

is not an ornament.

This is my kingdom of Atlantis.

Oh my goodness. It's Aquaman. He is even

the dreamier in person.

Yeah, he is. He's got that strong chin

that looks like a boute and the

confidence to wear his underwear as

outerwear.

And he is the only hero strong enough to

wield the mighty salad fort.

Aquaman is the coolest. Yo, it's true. I

am pretty cool. Probably the coolest

Justice League member.

Holds up. So if you're Aquaman, this

must be your trusty steed, Storm. I

don't know that storm's second cousin.

Light breeze.

Oh my goodness. Light Breeze, get away

from that strange seahorse. Listen,

Aquaman, we need to find a way out of

here. A way out. Thinking

thoughts,

pondering.

[Music]

Oh, I've got it. We can use a pebble to

jam up the filter. The jammed filter

will then build up pressure and explode,

causing the fish tank to tip over and

smash open on the floor. Then we'll all

be free. Wow. Wow. What a a ridiculous

idea. What are you trying to do? Put us

all in an early grave? Yeah, you dumb

dumb. That is such a bad idea. You've

got to be kidding me with that nonsense.

Wait a minute. I'm getting an idea here.

We jam up the filter, causing it to

build up pressure and explode, which

will tip over the aquarium and smash it,

and then we'll all be free. Really?

Great plan. Dude is a genius. What an

original idea, Aquaman. No, it's not. He

just stole that idea from me. Don't be

petty, yell. Aquaman is the brilliant.

There's just one small glitch. We're

going to need someone small enough to

swim through the filter tube so that we

can shut it down. Oh, I know. You can

use your magic trident to turn Robin

into an itty bitty tiny little fish.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Sounds good to

me.

Wa! Just look at those tiny tiny baby

fins. Ow! I do not have baby fins.

We need to stay focused on getting to

the filter. But how's we supposed to get

there?

First, we'll go past the clam. Take a

right at the treasure chest. And then

it's a straight shot to the filter. Huh?

Let me put that another way. Head to the

clam. Take a right at the treasure chest

and straight on to the filter. Now,

that's a great leader right there. Oh,

yeah. Great plan, Aquaman. It is the

brilliant. Really,

guys? Guys, hold up. Nice. Cut the

chatter. We don't want to alert Black

Manta to our plan. Did someone say my

name? Black Manta? You're going to pay

for shrinking me in my undersea castle?

Well, consider it payback for stealing

my parking space at the marina. I had to

park so far away that I slipped on the

dock and injured my back. Now I got to

go to physical therapy twice a week. My

insurance won't cover it and my medical

bills are piling up. It's going to ruin

my credit.

Cry me an ocean.

[Music]

That's right. It is I, Aquaman,

Lord of the Ocean, King of the Sea, also

the Justice League's honkiest hero.

More like the dumbest hero. Your shrimp

side brain cannot match my scientific

wizardry.

It doesn't have to. Your wizardry is

stupid. Stupid? My wizardry is stupid.

You want to talk stupid? How about the

stupid outfit? Put that in your pocket.

If you have pockets and them tight

pants. Look, Manta, I came here to

reason with you, but I realize now that

we're going to have to settle this like

men of the ocean.

You're talking that age old tradition. I

feel you. I see where you coming from

right now. Yes. The way of the sea.

Sounds like you're in for it now, Manta.

That's right. You are because I'm

challenging you to a splash competition.

A what now? If I win, you'll finish your

work today and never come back. But if I

win, I get to live here forever. Sounds

fair. This is going to be awesome. No,

no, no, no. We are not doing this. Don't

worry. I can definitely probably beat

him.

[Music]

I'mma go easy on you with something I

call

[Music]

nice dive helmet head.

Oh yeah. Well, too could play that game.

[Music]

Oh, come on. Aquaman's dive was better

than that. Us in denial, fool. Now,

watch the master show you how it's done.

[Music]

Wa!

[Music]

Wow!

[Music]

[Music]

Stop voting for Black Manta. We are only

being the honest. But you just gave him

a near perfect score. It's going to be

impossible for Aquaman to beat that.

Hey, hit that house key ready, Robin,

cuz I ain't going nowhere. All right,

Aquaman. This is your last dive. I'm

counting on you.

Don't you worry, little guy. I got a

plan.

[Music]

Oh snap, it's a Kraken. Yo.

[Music]

Thank you, Raven. But it is decided. I

will never give the ups, no matter the

cost. It may be a terrible idea, but I

support you, Star. I bet you won't be

able to last two months before you

realize how shameful a goal this be.

Everything okay, Star?

At this pace, it will be the forever

before I do the setting of the record.

You don't have to do this, Star. You're

already special just the way you are.

That is very nice, Robin. But your

opinion does not matter to me.

[Music]

Wow.

[Music]

Robin.

Robin.

What?

I have an itch under my nose that

requires the scratching.

Oh, yeah. That's the spot. Yeah.

Do you have any idea how close I am to

setting the record for the longest

fingernails ever grown? What? Very

close.

What?

Just a few more of the years.

Okay, this has gone far enough. That's

right. We're cutting those nails. Why

would I let you do that? Just look at

those hands.

You've been in misery the last 50 years,

and we can't let it go on. My hands are

in the pain. The weight of the

fingernails is so very great. Then that

settles it. You're getting a manicure.

I would not try that if I were the you.

Oh yeah. What if we try it anyway?

I will show you what I will do once I am

able to aim my hands at you. Your

fingernails are so long you can't even

move your hands around. You'll thank us

when we're done and then we can have

some ma ball soup. Do you know how many

personal sacrifices have been made in

the setting of this record? I gave up

being the superhero. I gave up all of

the human contact because I cannot do

the hugging. And worst of all, I have

not held a single kitty in over 50

years. I have wasted my life in order to

be special. When in fact, I shall never

be special. You don't need to set any

records. You're special just the way you

are. Do you mean that? I've been saying

that for years. Yes, but I do not care

about your opinion.

There's no reason for any more pain.

All the right.

Do it.

[Music]

I can do this.

Oh, a backflip. That's cool, man. I can

also do a double. Don't do it, Robin.

You never land those. He's going to

break something again, fool. Yeah, I got

it, fool. Watch and be amazed.

I'm okay.

I'm impervious to damage.

You really don't have superpowers. I do

have superpowers. I have the power of

initiative.

The rocket tower has landed. We on Mars,

people. Now watch as I demonstrate my

initiative powers by initiating the

search for Daiso's music without so much

as a single thought.

[Music]

See, I already found Dea Soul's music

because of my initiative.

It was almost too easy. Wait, it's

probably a trap.

No, don't press play.

Everybody stay calm. We'll find a way

out. I just need time to think.

Another one of my super. We don't have

time for your makebelieve powers. How's

we getting out of this? I don't know.

The water is 3 ft high and rising.

And if we do not get out the soon,

[Applause]

I mean, we probably going back, too. So,

the stakes is so high. Yo, don't worry.

We got this. Da activate balloon

mindset.

[Music]

[Music]

Thanks for the save.

Look,

there's Da's music.

Yo, give us back our music, fool. Huh?

Never. Listen, man. We're willing to

negotiate. Give us our music back and

we'll split the royalty. Your music is

mine.

Man, there's no getting through to this

dude. Don't worry, Da.

We got this. Titans, come.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Club one. Club two. Club three.

[Music]

Hey O.

[Music]

They're shooting their bionics beam.

[Music]

[Music]

That was crazy. Hey, thanks for helping

to save our music, Titans. Just doing

our duty as day fans. You guys are

pretty cool. Wow, Wonder Woman's

invisible jet.

We were just flying by and saw you take

out that space monster. Nice work,

Deasol. You guys want to join the

Justice League? What?

We in the Justice League, baby.

The Justice League.
