TL340 - Justice League - S2E24-26 - Starcrossed

The League are running security for a peace summit when an alien ship shows up in the sky above. Followed soon after by a Thanagarian warship! It seems that Hawkgirl was a double agent sent to Earth to scout things out, where she relayed intel back to Thanigar that Earth's defenses are no match for the Gordanians, a lizard like race apparently hell bent on conquering the universe!  The Thanagar's leader, Hro Talek, offers to help by recommending they build a shield around the Earth. The people and the League work with the Thanagarians in a massive effort to construct the shield generator, but things are not as they seem. Batman discovers the Gordanians were dead long before they came to earth and it turns out that Hawkgirl is betrothed to Hro Talak,  and he is there on a revenge mission. He wants to build a Hyperspace Bypass to get to the Gordanian home world and end the war. The trouble is, that the bypass will destroy Earth in the process. To their surprise, the League is countered with weapons built around their weaknessess, and they are easily defeated and put in a Thanagarian prison. Luckily Wonder Woman uses her wits to trick a guard allowing her to escape and free the others.  They must hide in plain site by dressing as civilians to evade capture again. They work their way to the Batcave to make plans to fight back.  Hawkgirl catches up to them feeling guilty for not knowing what her people were up to, and fills them in on the true plans. They must get to the base ship and shut off the forcefield protecting the generator. Only once it's down, can they take out the generator.   Green Lantern and Hro battle over the controls and Hawkgirl begs Hro to find another way. It's an epic battle with a lot of emotions, and ultimately the generator is taken down.  In a cinematic sequence, Batman decides there's only one way to destroy their base, and that's to pilot the Watchtower on a collision course with the generator. Thankfully Superman saves him before the crash. The Thanagarians are defeated and have no reason to stay, so they leave for home. But all is not back to normal as Hawkgirl's status as a League member is being voted on. Half the team doesn't trust her anymore, and before they can come to a decision, she decides to resign. It's a bitter sweet ending as she bids farewell to John and flies off into the sunset...
