In the dimly lit meeting room, a flicker of an idea burned in Peter's eyes as he leaned forward, his gaze shifting between Superman and The Flash. The weight of the situation hung heavy in the air, but Peter had a plan, and he was eager to share it.

"Here's what I'm thinking," Peter began, his voice steady and confident. "We need a way to make Batman and his followers truly understand why you guys have taken this drastic step toward executing certain criminals. It's not just about making them agree, it's about making them realize the senselessness of your previous methods."

Superman and The Flash exchanged curious glances, their attention fully captured by Peter's proposal.

"I suggest we compile all the recorded crimes that would have a significant impact on them," Peter continued. "These could be anything from phone recordings and security footage, to news broadcasts and military recordings, all depicting the chaos caused by the criminals they've apprehended or the situations they feel the League shouldn't be policing. The crimes, the suffering of innocent people, the destruction... we'll gather it all."

Superman's brow furrowed as he considered Peter's idea. "Basically, you want to show them the error of their ways. Like the cycle of catch and escape and what happens when we tell ourselves that we can't get involved with wars?"

"Exactly," Peter confirmed. "And I'm sure we can find some juicy war footage for them to watch as well. As for the rest, we don't just have to use just any crime footage. We'll focus on the notorious ones, the likes of the Joker, Lex Luthor, and others. We'll put together a comprehensive hours long documentary of their crimes and the devastation they've wrought on innocent lives."

As Peter spoke, his eyes lit up once again, bright with a new idea. "And afterward, you can use the documentary to help persuade the world to see things our way. After all, not everyone will agree with the new and improved League's actions. Sooner or later, the League will stop a large country from doing something unforgivable, and that certainly won't sit well."

Superman seemed to agree. "I'm sure there's already meetings taking place, discussing our capture of that South American dictator."

The Flash nodded slowly. "Yeah, there was and Batman was a part of them, but we can worry about that later."

Superman raised a brow at that, but decided that ignore it for now. "Back to our current situation, I agree with this plan of yours. If we can help them see the sheer senselessness of what we've been doing, maybe they'll understand why we decided to take more extreme measures."

Peter nodded. "That's precisely my goal. We'll make them watch every single recording, confront the real consequences of the rules they're trying so hard to protect."

Superman leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this approach could provide the perspective that might bridge the gap between Batman and himself.

"But will they agree to this?" Superman questioned. "It's not going to be easy to convince Batman and the others to sit down and watch these recordings. They haven't exactly shown a willingness to compromise."

Peter acknowledged the challenge with a nod. "You're right, it won't be easy. But we can simply make watching the video the stipulation for their release. After all, who wouldn't be willing to watch a movie if it meant getting out of prison?"

Superman couldn't help but agree. "That could work..."

The Flash chimed in, showing his support for the plan. "I think it's worth a shot. If we can get through to them, it's a step toward uniting the League again."

Superman, despite his earlier doubts, felt a renewed sense of hope. "Alright, let's give it a try. If this can help us move forward, I'm willing to do whatever it takes."

Kidnapping and Torture.

Cases of innocent people being kidnapped, tortured, and traumatized appear alongside the occasional video. Scenes of victims in captivity, recorded by their own captors. their eyes filled with terror, sent a shiver down the spines of the restrained League members. It was a harsh reminder of the cruelty that had been enabled by their previous actions.

Serial Killings.

The overwhelming number of serial killers among villains was shocking to say the least. Almost every villain could be called a serial killer. The faces of their victims and their chilling stories added to the growing weight of despair in the room.

Psychological Manipulation.

Some of the most disgusting criminals manipulate and exploit vulnerable individuals, like Harley Quinn, who was once a normal Psychiatrist before the Joker took an interest in her. Stories of survivors haunted by their experiences served as a stark reminder of the villains' capacity for manipulation and cruelty.

Arson.

Fiery destruction caused by acts of arson, committed by criminals like Firefly, resulting in the loss of property and lives. Burned homes, businesses, and lives torn apart by flames were distressing images for the League members to witness.

Drug Trafficking.

The devastating impact of drug trafficking on communities and individuals. Criminals like Two Face, The Joker, and The Penguin made most of their money through dealing drugs. The toll it took on families and the victims of addiction painted a bleak picture of the consequences of the villains' actions.

Human Trafficking.

Next, detailed stories of human trafficking, particularly the exploitation of children and women, unfolded before everyone's eyes. The horrors of human trafficking were laid bare, forcing the restrained League to confront the painful reality of their past decisions.

Corruption.

All around the world, criminals have infiltrated and corrupted institutions, eroding trust in law and order. Stories of justice perverted by corruption left a sense of bitterness and disillusionment.

Escapes from Prison.

One of the main subjects that the video emphasized was the repeated escapes from prison, showing just how broken the justice system really is. The compilation of jailbreaks, eluding capture, and returning to a life of crime was a stark reminder of the inefficacy of their previous methods.

War, war crimes, and countries committing atrocities.

This may have been the hardest portion of the video to watch. The lack of care the League had shown toward the international community and its problems was staggering. The portrayal of war-torn regions, war crimes, and countries committing atrocities, like slavery, genocide, and much more, left a bitter taste in the mouths of the restrained League members.

As the presentation progressed, the restrained League members found it increasingly difficult to watch. Their initial resistance slowly gave way to a profound realization of the flaws in their way of doing things. Shock, sadness, disgust, anguish, and guilt manifested in their expressions. It was a painful journey of self-discovery and understanding.

The room remained silent, save for the haunting sounds and narratives of the documentary. For the first time, Batman and his followers began to question their previous methods and their roles in enabling these atrocities. The notion that Superman might be right had crept into their minds, and the weight of that realization pressed heavily upon them.
