The Joining (2) is the final episode of season four of The Batman which aired in 2008. The episode is a continuation of Episode 12, in which The Joining, an alien race, invaded earth and took control of the new WayneTech satellite. In this episode, Batman and Martian Manhunter race against time to stop The Joining from wiping out humanity.
The episode begins with Batman saving the life of Detective Ellen Yin and confronting The Joining, who has taken control of the satellite, and ultimately being captured by them. Martian Manhunter, who is hidden aboard the satellite, is able to assist Batman in freeing himself from captivity, but the danger is far from over. The Joining is still determined to complete their mission and annihilate the human race.
Knowing that they cannot stop The Joining alone, Batman and Martian Manhunter seek out the help of Aquaman, Green Lantern, and The Flash, who travel to the satellite to join forces and stop The Joining once and for all. However, upon arriving on the satellite, the group is ambushed by an army of robotic drones created by The Joining.
The heroes are able to fend off the drones, but they are faced with new challenges as they try to stop The Joining's plan. The Joining has already begun the process of creating a massive energy field that will wipe out all human life on earth, and the heroes must find a way to stop it before it's too late.
As the heroes continue to fight the drones and try to disable The Joining's plans, they discover that The Joining's true motivation is not simply to wipe out humanity, but to take over the planet and use its resources for their own purposes. The heroes must put aside their differences and come up with a plan to stop The Joining once and for all.
In the final battle, Batman comes up with a plan to overload the satellite's power systems, which will disrupt The Joining's energy field and cause it to self destruct. With the help of Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and The Flash, Batman is able to enact his plan, and the satellite explodes, thwarting The Joining's plans for domination.
The episode concludes with the heroes returning to earth and reflecting on the battle they just fought. Batman emphasizes the importance of teamwork and how it was ultimately their combined efforts that saved the day. As the camera pans out, we see the heroes in costume standing together, ready for their next challenge and the adventures that await them.
