.. a justice league press conference.. they're first.. the very first Justice League press conference before a gaggle of journalists.. all the Justice League members are seated on a plateau above the floor.. Maxwell lord is at the side coaching Wonder Woman..

… the press conference begins -

Superman: .. ohay okay – at the microphone – okay .. testing .. testing.. heh.. so.. hozabout us here.. what are we at.. sorry.. okay.. sorry .. i'm new at this.. we're calling ourselves by the admittedly pretentious name, the “Justice League”..

The Flash: ooohhhh....

Superman: .. “.. yeah... like.. so we're a league.. like a league of our own.. except they're are both men and women on the team.. unlike the movie.. an old movie.. with geena davis.. and madonna.. and.. and.. anyway.. so.. why is the name “Justice” in our official committee name.. what are we anyway.. “the Justice committee”.. who do we think we are anyway... putting the name “justice” into the name of this motley crew of ours...

Diana: .. oh.. Superman.. mind if I say a few words on the subject..

Superman: .. oh yeah.. by all means.. Diana.. okay.. so if you don't know who she is already.. she goes by the name “Wonder Woman”... by her real name is Diana... I forget her last name..

Diana: .. my last name was mindwiped from my memory...

Superman:.. yah.. mindwiped .. that's the word.. that happens a lot with us here...

Diana: .. I think it's just the way of the world.. to quote the title of the play by Congreve...

Superman: .. oh yeah.. Congreve wrote the play “The way of the world”.. great play.. great play.. Restoration comedy at its finest...

Diana: .. LOVED that.. play?.. didn't like the women in the play tho.. they projected ever single one of their own OWN fucking character flaws on to men...

Superman: .. oh.. yeah.. we'll try to make sure that doesn't happen with the Justice League...

Diana: .. no happenin' .. no way hosay.. on MY watch.. by the wag, what is the time, pace...

Batman: .. so said Gaping Gill to H. C. Earwicker.. or one said to the other..

Diana: .. yes... which is why we're all here.. none of us .. not a single member of the Justice League panel would be here.. if it hadn't been for James Joyce..

Superman: .. Hear, hear.. Diana.. one of my VERY favourite authors – Superman sits down - .. let Diana take the floor...

Diana: .. thank you Superman.. you're such a gentleman.. okay .. so .. I want to bring the politics of the Wake to the Pentagon..

- Superman looks intrigued -

Diana: .. it is time for a Wakeian political climate to address the tumult, tempest, whirlwind, the very turbulence of passion of today's political schematics and... and.. dialectic.. and.. and... dianetics.. blyayyy.. okay... ah ah.. ahah.. kind of at loss for words here...

Maxwell Lord: - looking concerned - .. oh.. wait.. Diana.. mentioning the dialectic of finnegans wake as a kind of how-to manual for speeches, for diplomacy, among the history-making political individuals of today.. imen.. it's time.. you're right Diana.. to acknowledge James Joyce's invented language of his last novel as essential to addressing the complexities.. the quantum physics political level complexities of today's interntional political scene.. for James Joyce's language and linguistics could serve as kind of an analogy.. an analogical structure .. toward the level of our present-day moral complexities in the politcial international sphere.. of a civil war in Syria where no one may know what side their on.. of a more and more scary vision of the true motives of France's .. of the mainly France-engineered invasion of Libya.. of who we reach out to in Afghanistan...

Diana: .. - smiles – yeah.. what he said..

- Batman starts working furiously at his laptop -

Diana: .. okay.. I'll try to make a desperate attempt to approach Maxwell Lord's eloquence.. hopefully to no avail.. so anyway.. see.. Maxwell Lord understood the urgency of our setting up our Justice League committee as a branch on the margins of the operations of the United Natins security counsel.. boo hoo hoo – Diana starts crying – poor Bank – ki – moon.. poor Bank – ki – moon.. a voice in the wilderness...

- Superman looks genuinely touched -

Diana: .. so .. i'm thinking of palestinian embroidery.. because I looked up palestinian culture on the internet..

- Superman's attention is piqued -

Diana: .. and I found palestinian cultural dance and palestinian embroidery.. and I'm thinking maybe to establish palestinian hegemony over the planet I could study palestinian embroidery and do a kind of political weavery of all kinds of fragmented political islands of special interest groups, select senate committees.. small central american countries.. peace in da middle east.. imen.. i'm trying get a group plan for operation justice committee going but maybe I'm not doing a good job but we'll make a go of it.... so .. it is HARD to read a book about south or central america by Noam Chomsky .. those books of his are SCARY.. they're SCARY... I CAN'T read them.. I've wanted all my LIFE to read about Nicaragua.. and it just BREAKS me.. I have read quite a number of books on Israel.. and I think maybe to establish a palestinian hegemony over the planet we could adopt the Israeli model.. start a real palestinian insurgency somewhere in America just like the so successful Jewish insurgency of the 40's and 50's that so successfully established the state of Israel.. so … the sub-divisions of the Justice League committee will be the Justice League Stern Gang.. looking sternish.. and the Justice Legue Irgun.. maybe we can them make our move into central american countries..

Superman: – uh.. Diana..

Diana: .. and.. and.. and.. see .. I was around during World War I.. and I want to be the Bethmann-Hollweg of this generation.. He was a great man.. Moltke.. Jagow.. Sally Jupiter.. I knew them all.. we worked together to curb German Imperialism and stop the war in Bosnia because we were all political German actors in Germany on the German policial stage feeling very much more like actors than politicians riding the Perfect Storm George Cloony style of German imperialism during which led to World War I.. no one could stop it then and know one can stop it now.. Germany was a threat then and it still is.. I fear their nanotechnology.. Unless they simply study the science of it and don't do it themselves.. Important question.. But on to the mid-east.. Arrrgghhh.. I feel like I've read Martin Gilbert's book on Israel a million times now and STILL I can't remember ANY of it.. okay.. I read Avi Shlaim's book much of it anyway called “The Iron Wall”.. and got the impression I did that Moshe Sharett was in many ways the Bethmann-Hollweg of Israel.. a man of peace in a time of war just like our great friend of peace.. Superman himself.. my.. friend...

- Superman looks misty eyed -

Diana: .. So.. they once tried to divide Gaza into three easy pieces.. or was it the West Bank.. forget.. not sure why I'd ever get the two confused.. but maybe could take a cue from Israel and divide Central America into thirty-nine easy pieces..

Superman: - uh.. Diana..

Diana: .. so.. time to call the plumbers.. our old friends the Watergate gang.. lets see if G. Gordon Liddy and Timothy Leary are ready to do a Watergate on central America.. Joe the Plumber style.. see.. I think we should bring back Joe the Plumber into the colloquial.. we need Joe the Plumber to help us see ourselves thru the next Watergate Presidency and it's not this time just about all the pizzas.. ( Al Pacino – sorry.. make sure you don't order pizza .. sorry ) .. see.. I don't think you can cure all the ill of central america just by sending all the pizzas to the wrong address .. maybe some of them but not all.. but the Watergate Plumbers did this and more and I wouldn't mind Joe the Plumber becoming their leader.. Liddy, Hunt, Magruder, Dean, Stockwell, Miller, Zed, Aegus, and Zeke.. the Plumbers are back and here to stay... Let's give Joe the Plumber more to do.. let's sic Joe the Plumber on central america.. I think we've all had it up to here with those countries.. it's all fun and games until Joe the Plumber gets involved and then they know we mean business.. so if we divide up Nicaragua with Israeli-style checkpoints then maybe that's a step in the right direction to a U. S. state sponsered Justice League committee coup in Nicaragua.. you got the guns and we need the business.. need to call Brigadier Yousaf from the ISI in Pakistan to help us topple Brazil too.. the Justice League is on the job.. next stop.. Wall Street....

- twenty minutes later – the press conference is over.. Maxwell Lord is congratulating Diana..

Maxwell Lord: Great job, Diana..

Diana: - happily – Thanks!...

Superman: - uh.. Diana.. uh.. Diana.. before we set up the press conference... before we we went on stage.. the Justice League?... we never talked about doing any of that stuff...

Diana: .. Don't worry.. it was a good meeting Superman.. - Diana strides off into the streets of Washington confidantly -

Batman: - to Superman - .. Remember.. Diana is a benefit to the team...

Superman: - walks off retrospectively - .. This might be harder than I thought...

-

Wonder Woman starts walking proudly and purposefully down the streets of Washington, the song “American Woman” starts playing to a music video montage of Wonder Woman walking thoughtfully, purposefully, byzantinely down the street .. - example of video montage.. the line “We don't want your war machines” plays .. and CGI war machines materialize around Diana like a dream fabric of space and time..
