DC Universe vs. Dragonball Z The Animated Movie A Screenplay By: Cameron Tevis Cameron L. Tevis [email protected] FADE IN EXT. BATTLE PLANET - DAY Dust fills the air in a barren desert wasteland. As the dust settles, two figures stand motionless as they face off against one another other. Craters lace the surface of the planet from their battle. A battle-ravaged SUPERMAN is out of breath but keeping his guard up against an equally battle-ravaged and out of breath Super Saiyan GOKU. SUPERMAN We’ve been at this for hours. Ready to give up yet? Goku forces a small smile. GOKU Not a chance. SUPERMAN It’s only… a matter of time before my friends find me. GOKU I’m sure my friends are on the way too… but until then… Superman drops into a battle stance as Goku charges at him in attack position. CUT TO: EXT. DCU - METROPOLIS CITY - DAY The well-known Daily Planet and Lexcorp buildings join other skyscrapers as they create the Metropolis skyline. The streets below are teeming with life. SUPER: "METROPOLIS 8 HOURS AGO" BOOM! An explosion rocks one of the buildings. Near the explosion is a battle already in progress. SOLOMON GRUNDY, a hulking, pale-white, zombie, walks out of the damaged building. 2. WONDER WOMAN attacks Solomon, but he backhands her and sends her flying into another building, with so much force the building starts to topple over. GREEN LANTERN descends from the sky. GREEN LANTERN I got this, no problem! With his power ring, he creates a green construct that catches the building and keeps it from falling on the fleeing civilians below. From the sky, MARTIAN MANHUNTER puts his hands to his temples and tries focusing to gain psychic control of Solomon Grundy. MARTIAN MANHUNTER (whispering) Nothing. It's as if his mind is blank. There is nothing to control. Solomon Grundy yells ferociously as he throws a piece of the destroyed building at Martian Manhunter. He's hits in the stomach and falls to the ground. CYBORG steps around the corner and blasts Solomon Grundy in the back with his White Noise Cannon. SKREE! It knocks Solomon down, but he immediately gets back up, turns around and smashes both fists into the asphalt road. It cracks the earth under Cyborg’s feet causing him to fall. From out of nowhere a red blur soars in and knocks Solomon Grundy’s head to the side, causing him to fall to the ground. Solomon looks up from the ground and sees that SUPERMAN has arrived. SUPERMAN I don't want to hurt you. Stop this… Now! Solomon grabs a parked car and tosses it at Superman. Superman dodges it with ease, then looks at Solomon and shakes his head with disappointment. Superman flies straight for him and with a single, thunderous, lightning fast punch, Superman knocks Solomon Grundy out. He lays unconscious at Superman’s feet. Cyborg and Martian Manhunter approach Superman. MARTIAN MANHUNTER Excellent timing. 3. CYBORG I'll say. Wonder Woman walks up to them as Green Lantern comes in for a landing. GREEN LANTERN I was just about to do that. CUT TO: INT. DCU - LEXCORP - DAY LEX LUTHOR looks down at the battle from his office atop the skyscraper. LEX LUTHOR (whispering) Of course… Superman. Always Superman. He continues looking at them below. LEX LUTHOR (CONT'D) As I predicted, your powerful, new stranger couldn’t defeat Superman. LORD UNITY (O.S.) He was never meant to defeat Superman. Lex Luthor turns around to look at a ghost-like, non-corporeal form of a hooded, elderly and frail, LORD UNITY. LORD UNITY (CONT'D) He was merely meant to draw Superman out so I could lock onto his body signature for the transfer. (beat) I brought Solomon Grundy here as proof that I have the technology to transport beings across the Multiverse. LEX LUTHOR I’ve had dealings with parallel universes before. Am I supposed to be impressed? Lex Luther takes a seat at his desk. LORD UNITY Not at all. But, perhaps, I have persuaded you to help me with my plan. Lex leans back in his chair. 4. LEX LUTHOR You’re saying if I do this, I’ll be able to get anything I want? LORD UNITY We both will. Lex narrows his eyes as he looks suspiciously at Lord Unity. He turns his chair around to look out the window again as he contemplates the possibilities. A moment later he turns back around to look at Lord Unity. LEX LUTHOR Fine. The potential for what you're offering is too good to pass up. But let's be clear, I don't trust you, so I'll be watching you very closely. LORD UNITY Of course. LEX LUTHOR What are the orbs called again? LORD UNITY They are known as… CUT TO: EXT. DBZU - ROSHI ISLAND KRILLIN and YAMCHA spar each other on the beach of a small island with only a single house built on it. LORD UNITY (O.S.) …Dragonballs! Krillin attacks Yamcha. KRILLIN Hyah! Yamcha blocks it, then smiles. YAMCHA Nice one Krillin! VEGETA (O.S.) You can’t be serious! Krillin and Yamcha stop sparring and look up in the sky as VEGETA comes in for a landing. 5. VEGETA (CONT'D) Don’t tell me you weaklings are training. Buu is already dead. Besides, you could never defeat him no matter how hard you tried. Krillin and Yamcha, both look disappointed that he's arrived. KRILLIN Nice to see you too Vegeta. We know Buu’s dead. We’re training for the World Martial Arts Tournament. Vegeta tilts his head back in laughter. VEGETA The World Martial Arts Tournament? After all that we've seen you still compete in that nonsense? Krillin raises an eyebrow and tauntingly replies. KRILLIN Goku’s entering ya' know? He’s training in the Capsule out back. Vegeta’s eyes widen with shock. VEGETA What? Kakarot’s training… now? Vegeta runs to the back of the house and stops dead in his tracks when he sees a Training Capsule from Capsule Corp. VEGETA (CONT'D) Where did this come from? Just then, BULMA walks out the back door of the house carrying a pitcher of lemonade. BULMA Goku, I brought you some… She’s shocked and knows she’s caught when she sees Vegeta, standing there with Krillin and Yamcha. BULMA (CONT'D) Oops. Vegeta’s temples throb as he becomes enraged. Yamcha and Krillin try to keep from laughing. 6. VEGETA You brought it here? But why? Why didn’t you tell me? Bulma knows she’s caught and doesn’t even try to make up a good excuse. BULMA Goku asked for it… after, I made some modifications of course. Now, it maxes out at 100,000x’s Earth Gravity. VEGETA 100,000Xs? Vegeta rushes over to the capsule to look in a small window. With Vegeta’s back to them, Bulma gives Yamcha and Krillin a look of death that quickly ends their laughter. Vegeta’s eyes widen with shock at what he sees. CUT TO: INT. DBZU - TRAINING CAPSULE Inside the Capsule, GOKU, with his black hair, is doing one- fingered, hand-stand, push-ups. A digital panel on the interior dashboard of the Capsule reads ‘50,000 G’. GOKU 999, 1000, 1001… CUT TO: EXT. DBZU - ROSHI ISLAND An angry VEGETA walks past BULMA, KRILLIN and YAMCHA to the front of the Capsule. VEGETA Oh, no you don't, Kakarot! Vegeta hits the access panel that opens the Capsule’s latch. The digital panel counts down backwards so fast, it's illegible, until it finally stops at zero G's and beeps. The quick shift in gravity catches Goku off guard and he throws himself into the ceiling, then falls back to the floor. GOKU Ow! 7. Goku rubs his head to rub out the pain from hitting it so hard. Light rays enter the capsule as the latch opens. Goku gets a big smile on his face when he sees Vegeta walk in. GOKU (CONT'D) Oh, hi Vegeta! Goku stands up just as Vegeta starts waiving his fist in angry protest at Goku. VEGETA I know what you’re doing Kakarot! You’re trying to get stronger than me! Goku walks towards the controls of the Capsule and passes Vegeta with a smile on his face. GOKU I thought I already was. Vegeta’s temples throb with anger, he clenches his fists tight. He turns to Goku with a fist raised as Goku fidgets with the controls. VEGETA What did you just say? Goku smiles and waives his hands for Vegeta to calm down. GOKU I’m kidding Vegeta. I’m just training for the World Martial Arts Tournament. What’s the big deal? Vegeta gets close to Goku. VEGETA Stop it Kakarot! You know as well as I do, it will come down to the two of us. Goku looks surprised. GOKU I didn’t even know you were entering. VEGETA I am now. I will not let you beat me. Move over, I’m training too. Bulma, Yamcha and Krillin watch as Goku and Vegeta wrestle for the controls of the Capsule Corporation training system. 8. KRILLIN Those two. Bulma shakes her head, then looks at Krillin and Yamcha. BULMA This is why I didn’t want to tell Vegeta. I knew he’d act like this. FADE TO: INT. LORD UNITY'S SPACE STATION Lex Luthor materializes, on a small space station above an alien planet. He's wearing his green battle armor.
