Justice League: Throne of Atlantis Page #3

Any way you look at this, it's bad.

Terrible idea:
I saw an Atlantis show on

the what's-it channel with this professor.

Maybe he can help us.

We're at S.T.A.R. labs.

The greatest minds on the

planet are right next door.

Jeez, I said terrible idea.

Maybe it's not. Dr. Stephen Shin.

I'm scrubbing through his research.

He's got some pretty out-there

theories about Atlantis.

Superman and I will

go question Dr. Shin.

When did we vote him team leader?

What should the rest of us to do?

Find Atlantis.

Now that the plans have

been set in motion, Manta...

there is no turning back.

You were right to strike first

and strike quickly, my liege.

My mother will not see it as such.

She has yet to grasp the dangers of

the surface as you have, Prince Orm.

Soon she'll have no choice.

She's been waiting for you.

Someday, Mera, I will be on the

throne and you will guard my body.

Let's hope I fall in battle

before that day arrives.

Perhaps you will.

Mother.

Your transparent aggression towards the

surface world has left Atlantis exposed, Orm.

Do you deny it?

That ship would have discovered us.

Nonsense.

Our magic continues to protect us.

We are myth.

They doubt our very existence.

So we hide?

Mother, every day the surface

dwellers grow stronger.

They have guardians with

powers that walk among them.

Guardians directly responsible for

the death of my father, your king.

The volcano that killed your father

was not the fault of the surfacers...

but the one who attacked them.

Death by collateral damage in a

surface war does not comfort me.

They kill our race.

They poison our oceans.

They will destroy this planet

and take Atlantis with it.

We must protect our people and attack.

As long as I am queen, you will

preserve the peace. At all costs.

Do I make myself clear?

Yes, mother.

- Damn her.

- Patience, my liege.

He has always been a problem

child coddled by his father...

unsuitable for the throne.

Our only hope for peaceful existence

with the surface dwellers...

is with the one who is of both worlds.

What of my other son?

Have you seen Arthur?

Yes, my queen.

- And?

- My queen, he is not yet ready...

for the weight of the crown.

He will learn at my side, Mera.

Bring him to me at once.

Dad, watch. I can get to the top.

Not too far, Arthur. Don't fall in.

I can do it. I'm a better

swimmer than you are.

Arthur, no!

I told you to be careful.

I saw her, Dad. I saw my mother.

She was watching me in the water.

- She kissed me.

- It was just the sea...

- playing tricks on you, son.

- No, it was her. I saw her.

She left, Arthur,

and she's not coming back.

It's just you and me now, son,
