This has been directly copied into script format from the comic, so contains direct spoilers for those who haven't read the issue.

THE PRICE OF VICTORY

SCENE 1: FLASHBACK 5 YEARS AGO: THE APOKOLIPS WAR: METROPOLIS

A BOOM TUBE HAS HAPPENED IN THE AIR AND A SWARM OF PARADEMONS FLY INTO EARTH 2. SOLDIERS FIRE INTO THE SKY, WHICH IS NOW RED AND THE CITY OF METROPOLIS IS NOW IN RUINS.


ALAN SCOTT: (V.O.)
We all know the facts, of course. We all know what happened... How they appeared out of nowhere, or at least it seemed that way at the time... Parademons as they came to be known... attacking from out of “tubes” of energy and light. Invading Earth. Destroying countries, enslaving them. Their leader Steppenwolf, seemingly brilliant... unstoppable! And so began the Apokolips war.


SCENE 2: FLASHBACK 5 YEARS AGO: THE APOKOLIPS WAR: THE BATCAVE


SUPERMAN, BATMAN AND WONDER WOMAN ARE WATCHING THE BATCOMPUTER’S MONITOR IN THE BATCAVE. THE SCREEN HAS AN IMAGE OF METROPOLIS, FOCUSING ON THE APOKOLIPTIAN CONTROL TOWER IN THE CENTER.


ALAN SCOTT: (V.O.)
A bloody stalemate that seemed unending. It would take a genius to turn the tide... but luckily we had one.



BATMAN:
Kal, Diana, I have the answer, finally. I know how we can end the war.

SCENE 3: FLASHBACK 5 YEARS AGO: THE APOKOLIPS WAR: METROPOLIS: THE FINAL DAY OF WAR

SUPERMAN, WONDER WOMAN AND BATMAN ARE FIGHTING IN DOWN TOWN METROPOLIS, WITH MANY PARADEMONS HURTLING TOWARDS THEM. SUPERMAN PUNCHES A PARADEMON DOWN TO THE GROUND.


ALAN SCOTT: (V.O.)
Looking back on that day five years ago, I wonder... if they knew, maybe deep down in their hearts... if they sensed it. After all their amazing exploits... after all they’d done so far... If Superman


SUPERMAN:

Go, Bruce. We’ll buy you the time you need!


AlAN SCOTT: (V.O.)
... Wonder Woman...

WONDER WOMAN:
I’ll kill them all if I have to! Every one! Go!


ALAN SCOTT: (V.O.)
Batman, of course...


BATMAN:
I’m gone.

BATMAN RUNS OFF IN THE DIRECTION OF THE COMMAND TOWER, PLANTING A PRIMED EXPLOSIVE ONTO A PARADEMON’S HEAD AS HE GOES.
