Recap
Amanda Waller wakes up at 4:30 and checks her security systems. She then pours herself coffee and listens to the news as it reports a volcanic eruption on the Caribbean island of San Baquero. Waller calls for a car to go to her meeting, while the news talks about Luthor's announcement of a Presidential run as an independent. She then takes a shower and finds Batman waiting for her. Once she gets dressed, Batman reviews her history and Waller notes that she can find out his history if she wants. He dares her to do it, and asks what she's doing. Waller informs him that Superman had to tell the government about their battle against the Justice Lords to get Luthor's pardon. The government worried that the Justice League might go the same route as the Justice Lords, so she ran computer simulations and determined that the Justice League could win.

Batman turns and goes, and a nervous Waller activates a security alert...
