Synopsis for "Lost Heroes, Part II"

Much To the JL's advantage, the androids still cannot use the heroes' stolen powers to their full extent. Unable to fight the androids successfully, the League escapes Strange's hideout in a stolen Joining aircraft, which Batman pilots to a secure location to regroup and meet up with Batgirl.

Meanwhile, Hugo Strange tells the Joining that he has done his part as promised, and demands the knowledge of the universe. A member of the Joining comes through a portal and gives him what he asks for. In the hideout at the tech lab underneath Wayne Industries, Batman gives each de-powered hero a weapon that he has made to neutralize their powers--to Superman a Kryptonite gun, to Green Lantern a gun that shoots yellow powder, and so forth. The League, backed up by Robin and Batgirl on jetpacks, set out to ambush the androids, which are destroying Gotham City to find them. The weapons work, but only temporarily disable the androids, until Robin discovers that the androids have a weak spot on their chests. The heroes each smash the stolen symbols on the androids' chests and reclaim their powers.

Re-powered, the League returns to Strange's lair, only to find him in a vegetative state, due to his brain being overwhelmed by the influx of knowledge. From Strange's mind, the Martian Manhunter gleans that the invasion fleet is on its way. Superman and Green Lantern go to meet the mothership as it approaches, fighting swarms of the Joining fighters that fire Kryptonite blasts and yellow energy. Hawkman heads out to stop the ships in the sky. Flash and Green Arrow also go to fight the crafts that make it to the surface. However, there are too many to fight at once, so Batman suggests using the knowledge in Strange's mind to send a virus to the entire Joining.

As they begin, the giant, robotic creature who gave Strange his knowledge reappears, attempting to kill Strange before the League can use him. Batman & Robin go to engage it, leaving Batgirl to help the Martian Manhunter reprogram the Joining transmitter. Batman & Robin fight with the alien, but they chase it into the superpower transfer room, and some of the superpowered energy material left in the tubes drip onto it. The alien grows, glowing with green energy and moving with super-speed; Batman and Robin alone are no match for it. The alien dispenses with them and moves on to attack the Martian Manhunter as he extracts the last bit of information from Strange. At the last moment, Batgirl finishes the sequence; the alien shuts down at the same moment that all of the Joining fighters go dead, crackling with blue electricity. The fighters fall into Gotham Bay, while Green Lantern flings the Joining mothership into the sun.

The Justice League reconvenes in the Watchtower to witness the mothership explode. Superman acknowledges that even with their superpowers, the Justice League could not have triumphed without Batman and Green Arrow's participation. Green Arrow, who had been bitter about the power/no power distinction before, simply remarks that "Some of us need powers--and some of us don't."

The episode comes to a close with Batman & Robin alongside Batgirl in the Watchtower with the final lines spoken in the series having taken place.

Robin: "We have the coolest clubhouse."

Batman: "We?"

Batgirl: "Yeah! Junior Justice League: Teen Division."

Batman grins saying to them "Nice try." as all three of them look down on Earth from the Watchtower.
