Phase Two of The Panel Biter's DC Cinematic Universe is wrapping up with another adventure for The World's Finest Heroes! With a new invasion on its way, these heroes will be tested in strength, wisdom and loyalty. This is it, the Pitch-It for "Justice League: Breached Earth".
The movie begins with Brainiac's origin: He was once a scientist known as Vril Dox from the planet Colu. This planet's citizens were classified by their intelligence and Dox underwent unlicensed experiments to further progress his knowledge. He came to the realization that he'd never know everything, that as long as the universe continued he wouldn't live long enough to be completely intelligent. He took the name Brainiac as on Colu it means "Record of Knowledge" and began using his technology to shrink and collect cities of planets before destroying the planets themselves. After his failed attempt to destroy Superman's city of Metropolis he began to move towards Earth.
The opening scene would have The Justice League (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter) trying to capture criminal scientist Professor Ivo and destroy his android Amazo. The fight would show the League is well adjusted to working in unison, but members like Batman and GL still have trouble getting along. After their victory, we'd learn of war threats between Kahndaq and Bialya, this causes debate amongst the team, but reestablishes that The League does not pick sides and they only get involved in war when innocents are caught in the middle. Overhearing this through hacking the League's satellite base, Brainiac uses the League's rules to his advantage. He sends his Thanagarian slave to attack Kahndaq under the guise of a League member, causing the League to battle this "Hawkgirl" and prompting the media to lash out against the League.
Batman is on The Watchtower during this fight and is helpless to stop the Watchtower's energy cannon from preparing to fire down on Star City's Peace Banquet, but he is able to adjust the target to an abandoned Star City mill. After locking Hawkgirl and suspected traitor Batman in cells, the League try to help Star City pick up the mill's rubble. Black Canary and The Atom would show up to help, as well as Green Arrow who was attending the Peace Banquet during the blast. Nobody knows about The Watchtower, but because Green Arrow doesn't believe in the League, he is still upset that they couldn't have stopped this attack. As the repairs finish up, Arrow and Canary refuse membership, but The Atom is welcomed to be a trail member. After Argus learns the blast came from the League's secret satellite, Maxwell Lord insists The League bring Hawkgirl to Argus and explain what happened.
While at Argus HQ, Amanda Waller reveals to Batman that she knows his secret identity and that if they are to work peacefully, Batman should start keeping containment plans on The League if they grow too powerful. Martian Manhunter remembers his decades of imprisonment in Argus and decides to read Hawkgirl's mind. She was a soldier on planet Thanagar and loved a fellow soldier, they believed their love would last lifetimes. One day on a scouting mission, she was captured by Brainiac's ship. He promised to spare her planet if she became his slave. After learning of Brainiac's involvement, The League break Hawkgirl out and escape Argus.
Brainiac begins his assault on Earth and uses a device called The Monitor's Head to control Manhunter droids that were hidden away by The Guardians of The Universe. Green Lantern calls in rest of The Green Lantern Corps-against the Guardian's orders-and a battle in space ensues. While the GLC is off planet Oa, former Lantern Sinestro breaks into Oa, steals some technology and plants a bomb to blow up the Central Battery. As Superman and The Flash go through Brainiac's ship and grab all of Brainiac's captured cities, The Atom shrinks down to find The Monitor's Head, which Brainiac shrunk to keep hidden. Brainiac would be believed to have died in combat, but this would be his robotic body. With the Central Battery destroyed, all of the GLC's rings start losing power and Hal (GL) is forced to use a mysterious yellow ring to bubble up the floating GLC members and send them into The Watchtower. Atom finds The Monitor Head and Hawkgirl destroys it, shutting down the killer robots. As Hal realizes the yellow ring is powered by fear, Sinestro appears and takes the yellow ring back. He claims to have made a deal with Brainiac: he gives Brainiac his yellow Absorbascon ring and The Monitor's Head in exchange for Brainiac drawing the GLC off Oa. Sinestro betrays Brainiac by taking the yellow ring back, refusing to help him and activating Brainiac's Phantom Zone Generator before escaping.
Superman finds Brainiac's real body, dying and sustained by machines. Brainiac attempts to crash his ship into Earth before the Generator sucks the ship into The Phantom Zone, but The League push the ship away from Earth. As they do, debris fall off the ship down to Earth. Brainiac wonder's if the Thanagarian beliefs in reincarnation are true before he is killed by Hawkgirl and she escapes with The League just as Brainiac and his ship are transported into another dimension. Hawkgirl and Atom are fully welcomed into The Justice League, and Hawkgirl admits that she'd be seen as a deserter back on Thanagar, so she'll be staying on Earth for the time being. When Hal and the rest of The GLC are teleported back to Oa, they find it destroyed. Hal is blamed by The Guardians, but the rest of the Corps agree The Guardians are at blame for not destroying the Manhunter droids and for cowardly ignoring Brainiac's first invasions. Hal orders some lanterns to repair the Oan city and others to begin repairing the Central Battery. He takes full control of the GLC and asks The Guardians what they know about "other colored rings". After the credits, we'd see Sinestro in a lab producing more fear-powered yellow rings and developing Lantern Batteries and a Central Battery for his own Lantern army. He is surprised to see that not only is The Monitor's Head reactivated, but that is feels emotion.

A bit long, but JL2 poses new challenges to the League while only making their public image more controversial. It sets up potential story threads for Phase Three fan-thought films. I tried to include the most important pieces of my movie pitch. I hope you enjoyed Phase Two of The Panel Biter's DC Cinematic Universe. Thanks for reading!
The PBDC will be taking a one week break before moving into Phase Three, stay tuned and voice your opinions of The PBDC so far!
