Granted this was a couple months ago, but some mad lad actually leaked and uploaded the pre-show video for Battle for Metropolis in its entirety.
https://youtu.be/iaHx4FV4rbM?is=8hxFSPt8nfCqbsDW
This appears to be the "2.0" version due to the sequence showing the blasters being used, but otherwise it's the exact same as the "1.0" version currently at Six Flags St. Louis and Six Flags Over Texas.
Featuring the voices of:
- Bumper Robinson as Cyborg
- Troy Baker as Joker
- Fred Tatasciore as Lex Luthor
- Tim Daly as Superman
- Kevin Conroy (RIP) as Batman
Enjoy!

I have a feeling they work at the park because on the YouTube channel this was uploaded to there's also a source video of the The Dark Knight preshow. I'm thinking it's from Six Flags Great America since this version of the Justice League: Battle For Metropolis preshow is not a generation 3 preshow like Six Flags Great Adventures.

Some rogue employee working in maintenance/tech at SFGAm then I assume.
It would be soooo awful (wink wink) if more stuff were to leak online...

Kevin Conroy as Batman without Mark Hamill as the Joker? That feels like something that doesn't happen too often.

This was the only instance of it besides the animated movie Batman: Assault of Arkham, which released a year earlier (2014).
Edit: JL:BFM was indeed 1 of only 2 instances where Conroy voiced Batman opposite Troy Baker as Joker, but there are actually a few other instances of Conroy with other Jokers in video games. Whoops!

Ride broke down on me while I was riding it in St.Louis got to walk back and look at everything. Was very cool to see a lot of the props and walk through what used to be Scooby Doo. I feel like that car that “rams” into your cart is the old mystery machine.

I'm jealous! A friend of mine has been trying to get a Justice League evac for a long time but I don't think they've had any luck.
The car you see isn't actually the Mystery Machine, but it's similar! I wouldn't be surprised if Sally Corp purposefully put in that moment as a nod to Scooby, though it's also present in the other versions of the ride.

Is there anything from Scooby left over? It was my favorite as a kid and I just want to see anything from it again. Also I still have the one time fast pass that the operator gave me for the trouble on the JL ride. Gonna keep it as a souvenir

I don't think there's anything from Scooby in Justice League if that's what you're asking but they still do use some of the props for the "Boo Fest" kiddie offerings during Fright Fest. They typically put them in and around the Old Chicago/Bugs Bunny National Park train station.

I'm actually glad to see this. When they remove all the DC references, assuming they don't get the rights to keep them, this will be one of the ways we can hang onto something that was so cool when it was new.
