The moment Cyborg in the Watchtower intercepted Amazo's signal, Shane heard Batman say something very strange to him.
"They're here for Pandora. Hide for now, and only come out after Amazo defeats us."

Batman offered no further explanation. Instead, he instructed everyone in the Watchtower to go about their tasks, sent Diana and Aquaman away, and, after leaving Shane with one final remark, headed for the circular corridor.
"Put on a show. Draw the battlefield into space, then defeat it once you get my signal—don't reveal your true strength too early."
Shane found it strange that Batman was so certain he could defeat the infamous Amazo, but he still took Rachel to a lounge on one of the Watchtower's levels and waited quietly.
What followed unfolded exactly as Batman had predicted.
Through the surveillance projection built into the lounge, Shane watched Amazo crash brutally and directly into the Watchtower.
A layer of yellow light, one Shane found quite familiar, shrouded the android. Its strength was astonishing as well.
With every gesture, the aerospace-grade titanium alloy machinery around Amazo burst apart like clumps of earth struck by a pile driver.
