DDesaad
It was a fool's errand. [Darkseid is angered] Uh, what I mean to say is...
No one questions me, Desaad. [Darkseid vaporizes Desaad] No one.

Father! Father, do you see?!
Be still, fool. I'm not blind.
But what is it?
It's death.
Even as we speak, Apokolips is being assimilated by the Kryptonian menace known as Brainiac.
You're lying. I destroyed him.
Apparently, he is harder to kill than you realized.
[Darkseid informs Superman that Brainiac is still alive and is now attacking Apokolips]
You know his pattern, Kal-El. Once he's finished siphoning the memory banks and technology of my planet...
He'll annihilate it. Good.
So what are you saying? You'd sacrifice millions of lives just because you don't like this guy?
You don't know Darkseid like I do.
We know he used you, humiliated you, brainwashed you, wound you up like a tin soldier and turned you loose against Earth. [Gets right up in Superman's face] Cry me a river. On the outside chance that this isn't one of his schemes, we have to take action - so I suggest you get over it.
Brainiac has already destroyed countless civilizations, and now he threatens another. Do you want this to be the legacy of your people?
Let me get this straight: Orion is Darkseid's own son?
New Genesis and Apokolips have been at war for centuries. Apparently, Darkseid and Highfather exchanged sons as part of some kind of peace treaty... [Wonder Woman looks at Batman] Sounds wacky to me, too.
Who are you?
FForager
They call me Forager.
Do you know someone named Orion?
FForager
Orion! I am just an unworthy Bug; Orion is a god who is far above us.
You're too modest. You've shown courage, compassion...
FForager
No, no, you don't understand! All the gods are far above us. [Points up into the sky towards Supertown]
I'm gonna need a longer grapple.
BBrainiac
Welcome, Kal-El. Once I offered you the chance to join me in carrying on the legacy of Krypton. Today, I renew that offer.
You must be joking.
BBrainiac
Why do you reject your great heritage? The entire history of your planet, its knowledge and splendor, its awe and mystery are encoded within me.
Superman, don't-
[Superman stops her]
BBrainiac
I am Krypton.
You're a perversion, dishonoring the very memory of my father and all my people.
BBrainiac
And this is your final decision?
Read my lips: Go. To- [Brainiac cuts him off]
BBrainiac
Unfortunate - but predictable.
HHighfather
It's hard, isn't it? But we must lovingly tend our garden if we want it to grow strong and tall.
SSera
I hate this.
HHighfather
What's wrong, child?
SSera
I've tried, Highfather, really I have, but look! [Gestures to the small rosebush she's laboring over]
HHighfather
Patience, my dear. Everything has a purpose, and a place.
SSera
Everything? [Flicks a large caterpillar off of a leaf]
HHighfather
Given time.
[to Diana] Next time I let Superman take charge, just hit me. Real hard.
BBrainiac
You deceived me, Darkseid. Used me.
It's what I do.
[to Superman] You of all people should know that the universe is filled with chaos, confusion and uncertainty. I will tear it down to nothing, and then rebuild it, bringing order and discipline at last. Think of it, Superman - a new universe created in my image.
[Martian Manhunter is using one of Brainiac's bodies as a shield as he uses the body's arm to shoot at the others.]
Having fun?
Yes.
I'm glad to see growing up with Highfather hasn't made you soft and weak. You make an old man proud. But I won't let you or anyone else stand in my way! [Darkseid bearhugs Orion into unconsciousness] Spare the rod...
Any minute now, Brainiac will explode. And guess what? You're going with him. [Darkseid reaches for Orion's Mother Box but Superman destroys it with his heat vision] No, Darkseid. To get off this rock, you'll have to go through me.
You really are a glutton for punishment. Time and again, I've beaten you, humbled you. What makes you think today's outcome will be any different?
Because this time, I won't stop until you're just a greasy smear on my fist. Let's go.
