TREATMENT
The planet Mars is lifeless. But 180 years previous to the present day, a savage war took place between the 2 species who inhabbited the planet: the Green and White Martians. The White Martians survived on the north pole of Mars in the ice caps, while the Green Martians lived in the desert. Every winter the White Martians attacked and every year they retreated come the summer, while the Green Martians rebuilt. One year things changed when a "God" (Darkseid) gifted the White Martians with advanced weaponry giving them the advantage to take out their counter parts once and for all. The war spiralled out of control until there was no survivors when the weaponry detonated wiping out both races and all civilization on Mars.
One Green Martian, J'onn J'onzz survived and using an undamaged Bio-Ship made his way to Earth where he hid his ship and used his shape shifting abilities to blend into the human race.
In the present day, the Earth has changed. J'onn J'onzz has seen the human race evolve with his own eyes under the humerous disguises, now in the disguise of Detective John Jones of the NYPD. In recent times he has seen a new age of heroes begin to emerge, starting with the shadowy vigilante known as Batman, who fights the criminals, corrupt and fights injustice in Gotham City. Then the seemingly mystical Green Lantern, a human in a intergalactic Police Force then the mighty Superman who protects this world from any and all threats. New heroes emerge everyday with the popular media friendly hero Flash from Central City and the powerful Wonder Woman, the amazonian Princess. J'onn has sat back and watch this emerging race take shape with great potential.
In Gotham City, Batman is tracking a criminal breaking into a Wayne Enterprises R&D facility. The criminal is after a piece of hardware that was excavated in the Utah desert: J'onn's Bio-Ship. Batman startles the criminal who attacks and knocks Batman back with great force. Batman attacks using agility to dodge the criminals attacks but the criminal seems to extend his arms and grabs Batman hoisting him up high before throwing him back against the wall. Batman realises this is no ordinary criminal. Before he can do anything there is a crash through the roof and moonlight shining through: Superman! He attacks the criminal and knocks him back believing that to be it. The criminal however gets up and shape-shifts into a White Martian and attacks again. Superman however manages to apprehend the criminal who escapes through the roof. Superman helps Batman up who says that he doesn't need Superman's help and he had the thing under control. Superman says he saved him and that he's never seen anything like that before. Batman says him niether and that it was after the Bio-Ship and that Wayne Enterprises found the ship in Utah desert and are trying to unlock its secrets, revealing it be alien in origin. Superman says it isn't Kryptonian before saying "I'm sure you'll unlock its secrets Bruce" before leaving a disturbed Batman.
To cut this short here is the main bit, the White Martians have sleeper agents all over the Earth. They wanted the Bio ship so that they can contact the last remaining White Martians scattered throughout the universe and bring them to their "new home", Earth. Lex Luthor, owner of LexCorp and Wayne Enterprises rival company uses Intergang (who also use weapons provided by Darkseid) to break in and steal the ship and transport it. Batman gives chase but a group of sleeper White Martians attack the convoy and steal the ship.
Clark Kent writes an article on the ship in the Daily Planet, so exclusive revealing that Batman apprehended a shape-shifting alien trying to steal a ship with on mention of Superman, that Bruce Wayne figures out his secret identity. Bruce Wayne comes to Metropolis and has dinner with Mr Kent revealing that Lex Luthor stole the bio-ship using Intergang before their convoy was hit by a group of the aliens and got away with the ship. They are interrupted by Det. John Jones of the NYPD who has something he wishes to discuss with them. He explains that the creatures they refer to White Martians and he has been tracking their movements on Earth for the last couple of years. He explains that he himself is Martian, but a Green Martian and the last survivor of his kind and that he knows both are Batman and Superman. Bruce says that this conversation is no place for a public diner and they retreat to his Batcave. J'onn explains about the Martian war and the conclusion and his life on Earth. He says that he thought he was the last but clearly somehow White Martians survived and that more will be on their way to Earth. Now they have his Bio-Ship it can connect with other Martian technology throughout the universe and call them to Earth, saying the entire human race is in danger.
The White Martians are in deep space, and using their Bio-Ships during the last 180 years to "grow" new city wide Bio Ships. They receive the signal and begin their way to earth...
In Coast City, Hal Jordan is test flying a new prototype aerial vehicle recieving instructions over the head phones from Carol Ferris and Tom Kalmaku. He is then attacked by 2 F-18 jets flown by other test pilots who are trying to hypothetically take him out. Carol asks Hal not to destroy this jet as it is one of a kind and there isn't another in the world. Suddenly his Power Ring begins to flash and informs him of danger. He radio's to say he has business elsewhere and Carol tells him to return the jet before leaving. He says its his job but Carol shouts at him telling him a shopkeeper losing his takings isn't worth losing $60 million jet like last time. Hal drops his altitude to a 100 feet and sets the plane on auto pilot to land before ejecting and transforming into Green Lantern. The plane skids along the ground coming to a halt as Green Lantern flies away. He flies to the boarder where North Canada meets Antartica to find the White Martians and the stolen Bio-Ship which has been adapted into a digger and is digging into the ice caps as a test. They plan to destroy them and cover most of the Earth in water and freeze it when they take over the planet. Green Lantern asks them what they think they are doing. His ring translates their language and they say that they are taking this planet and no amount of "heroes" can stop them. Green Lantern says that that is unfortunate for them because he isn't a hero, just a dude protecting his back yard. He blasts the Bio-Ship before attacking the Martians. They all attack simultaneously and begin knocking Green Lantern around like a ball. Green Lantern uses an enormous amount of willpower and creates a pulse of green energy that knocks them all back. The ship stops digging and begins to fly away. Green Lantern flies after it but all the Martians follows him and try to pull him back and away bringing the group crashing into a mountain below. The Martians fly away but Green Lantern traps one in a ball of energy. He suddenly begins seeing images of his father Martin Jordan dying in a plane crash but it is different, the White Martian is also in the image watching. Suddenly J'onn J'onzz appears in the image as well and punches the White Martian through the chest and the image disappears. Startled by what just happened, he begins hearing voices in his head. Green Lantern then flies off follow directions in his head.
He arrives at the batcave where he greets Batman, Superman and J'onzz who he recognises from the image. He asks what the hell the going on. J'onzz explains that the creature he has captured is a White Martian and he is a Green Martian. Green Lantern says he knows what they and he are his ring informed him. He tells them that the White Martian told him what they are planning to do: take over the Earth. The heroes exchange information revealing that they must put an end to their plan before it takes place. Superman asks what they are going to do with the Martian they captured. Green Lantern says that he will take the creature to the Green Lantern Sciencells on Oa and also ask for help from the Guardians and the Corps and will return to fight the Martians.
As Green Lantern still carrying the captured Martian enter hyperspace portal to Oa just outside Earth, the Martian Bio-Ships arrive.
Superman says that he has to return to Metropolis but says he will stop the Martians and their new ships by smashing them to pieces before they reach Earth. J'onzz says that won't work because the Bio-Ships will repair themselves in time and that they must destroy the "life-cell" at the heart of each ship. Batman gives Superman a reciever before he leaves. J'onn informs Batman that they must put together a task force to stop the Martians and that he has been watching several powerful heroes in case this happened. Batman says he can't go recruiting because he has work in Gotham to do. J'onn says that he can't sacrifice the Earth for Gotham and that it would be better if a human was present as J'onn is not native to Earth. Batman reluctantly agrees revealing he too has been watching the emerging heroes with images of the heroes on his screen (Easter Egg Cameo time) but says he will not be carried and will fly his Batwing.
They arrive in Central City where Flash, a speedster superhero who can run at superhuman speeds has just apprehended the Trickster trying to steal from the Central City museum. Flash is talking to numerous media outlays revealing how he apprehended the villain, even offering to visit the Trickster in prison and help to rehabilitate him. Batman and J'onn watch from afar. Flash says he hopes one day to have his own museum. J'onn uses his telepathy to contact Flash and inform him to come to their location. Flash belives that it is the Trickster and asks him what he is doing but the Trickster looks bemused. The Flash speeds off and stops at the location. Batman jumps down from the shadows and tells Flash they are here to talk to him about a threat that puts the entire Earth at risk. Flash asks who's we and J'onn appears from the shadows startling Flash who has never seen an alien before. J'onn realises and changes into "John Jones" to put Flash at ease. They inform Flash of the coming threat from the White Martians and to be prepared for the attack. Flash says that 3 of them can't defeat an army spread world wide of Martians. They inform him that Superman and Green Lantern are also on stand by leaving Flash comically disappointed at being 5th to join the team as Batman gives him a receiver.
They next find Wonder Woman who has just apprehended the Cheetah with her Lasso stringing her up over a street light waiting for the police to arrive. They inform her of their plans to safeguard the planet and she says she will help in any way she can and she will inform her Amazonian sisters but can't promise they will leave Paradise Island to help. Batman gives her a receiver before they leave. J'onn says that he feels that "team" is strong enough now. Batman disagrees saying that if the Martians plan on flooding the Earth that a water based hero would be ideal for the team.
They fly to a Wayne Enterprises oil rig located in the atlantic and J'onn telepathically communicates trying to reach Aquaman but says he can't because their is too many fish to single out Aquaman's mind. Suddenly Aquaman comes flying out of water and lands on the rig asking who seeks him, standing ready to attack with his staff. Batman and J'onn inform him of the White Martian threat and but Aquaman who asks not to be called that and prefers King Orin could not care for the surface dwellers problems as the coming ice age will not affect him and his people in Atlantis. Batman says that he knows Orin didn't grow up in Atlantis and that he can't really think about not aiding to save billions of lives, not even a lighthouse keeper. Orin is defiant and says he is no long Arthur Curry and that he has found his true life as King of Atlantis. Suddenly the multiple bio ships enter Earth's atmosphere to the sound of sonic booms all around the world. Batman says if there is a time to act it is now but Aquaman says he is sorry. The two leave to go fight the Martians..
