David Michael Bautista Jr. (born January 18, 1969) is an American actor and retired professional wrestler. Regarded as one of his generation's most prolific professional wrestlers, he rose to fame for his multiple stints in WWE between 2002 and 2019. Bautista began his wrestling career in 1999 and signed with WWE (then WWF) in 2000. From 2002 to 2010, he gained fame under the ring name Batista, initially as a member of Evolution. He would go on to win the WWE Championship twice, the World Heavyweight Championship four times (with his first reign remaining the longest in history at 282 days), the World Tag Team Championship three times (twice with Ric Flair and once with John Cena), and the WWE Tag Team Championship once (with Rey Mysterio). He also won the 2005 and 2014 Royal Rumble matches and subsequently headlined WrestleMania 21 and WrestleMania XXX, with the former being one of the top five highest-grossing PPV events in wrestling history. Having largely stepped back from professional wrestling in 2020, he retired after WrestleMania 35 in 2019. As an actor, Bautista is known for portraying Drax in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (2014–2023) and Rabban in Dune (2021) and its 2024 sequel. Bautista has additionally starred in Spectre (2015), Blade Runner 2049 (2017), Final Score, Master Z: Ip Man Legacy (both 2018), Army of the Dead (2021), Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022), Knock at the Cabin, and Parachute (both 2023).

Inspired by the Black Lion video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjLQyBD-wfA The Justice League, now expanded to include members of the Bat Family, is forcibly transported to War World after defeating Amazo in Metropolis. On this brutal gladiatorial planet ruled by the tyrant Mongul, the heroes, along with bystanders Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, are coerced into fighting as gladiators to protect the captured civilians. They encounter the exiled Thanagarian police officer Shayera Hull (Hawkgirl) and are later joined by Green Lantern Hal Jordan. Tensions escalate, culminating in a climactic Batman versus Superman battle where Batman fakes his death to avoid real harm. Superman attempts to inspire the oppressed people of War World to rise against Mongul, leading to a final, epic fight reminiscent of the classic Doomsday confrontation. Both Superman and Mongul deliver fatal blows, resulting in Superman's death and the liberation of War World. The Justice League returns to Earth to hold a grand funeral for Superman, while Hawkgirl joins the League. Tensions rise as Batman's contingency plans are revealed, leading to his expulsion from the League by a narrow vote, leaving the Justice League fractured without their Trinity—Superman dead, Batman exiled, and Wonder Woman in Themyscira—mirroring the fracturing seen in their counterparts, the Avengers.
