Don't leave us yet, Kal-El. I want you to see your adopted homeworld bow down before me. Only then will I allow you death's sweet release. Agh! Parademons. Dispose of these annoyances.
Flea. [Batman dodges Darkseid's Omega Beam and it hits a Parademon] Impressive. No one has ever avoided my Omega Beam. I wonder if the other one is as agile. [Powers up his Omega Beams; Lex Luthor runs away] Excellent strategy.
You friends have abandoned you, or fallen before my might. Super or otherwise, you're merely a man. And I, am a god. You still try to fight. Can't you see that it's hopeless?
That man won't quit as long as he can still draw a breath. None of my teammates will. Me? I've got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made of, cardboard. Always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control. Even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose. And show you just how powerful I really am. Had enough?
Not quite yet. It's called the Agony Matrix. Direct neural stimulation of pain receptors. All of them. Imagine the worst pain you've ever felt in your life. Times a thousand. Now imagine that pain continuing. Forever. Oh, that's right. You don't have to imagine. Still alive? You impress me, Kryptonian. More... Your valor has touched my heart. Oh yes. There is still some small part of me that knows mercy. I will end your pain... with something special I've been saving for just this occasion. [Darkseid draws a Kryptonite knife] I'm going to carve out your heart and put it on a pike in my throne room.
[Lex Luthor appears in a business suit]
As much as I'd enjoy seeing that, first you've got some business with me. Sorry it took me so long. I had to go get my power-suit.
You would dare challenge me? Insanity!
Oh, I'm not here to challenge you, Darkseid. Quite the contrary. I've got something you want. The only thing you want.
[Luthor holds up his hand, revealing a dazzling shard of energy]
[astonished] The Anti-Life Equation!
It's beautiful, isn't it?
[After Lex Luthor and Darkseid vanish through the Anti-Life Equation]
SBSroya Bashir
This has been the scene all over the world. In the wake of Darkseid's defeat, his attacking forces have withdrawn presumably back to wherever it is they came from.
Thanks to Luthor, of all people.
In many ways, Lex Luthor represents the worst of what mankind has to offer.
But he died saving us all.
BBatman
I doubt that either of them died.
You saw it last time too.
What's that old saying? "Believe half of what you see..."
"...and none of what you hear." They'll be back.
And we'll be ready for them.
Meanwhile, it's past time that Luthor's partners in crime were locked up.
Wait a minute – we help you guys save the world, and we don't even get any consideration?
[Batman looks at Superman, who shrugs]
BBatman
You're right. Five-minute head start.
Five minutes? Are you kidding?!
Four minutes, fifty seconds.
[The villains promptly flee; Giganta gives the surprised Flash a kiss on the cheek before joining the others]
[Last lines of the series]
[on the cell phone to his wife] I should be back in time to dinner. I love you too.
[to Batman] A head start? You're getting soft in your old age.
BBatman
[smiling] Don't you have a tall building to go leap?
And the adventure continues.
Back off! Was there a plan here?
BBatman
Take out the small fry until we attract the big fish's attention.
Ha! With everything going on, I'll bet he never notices us.
I'll take some of that action.
I hope you appreciate, Kal-El, that everything that happens from this point is on your head. The skies will rain fire, the oceans will boil, the streets will run red with the blood of billions. Only then, after your last pitiful hope is extinguished, will I end your life. Let's go.
You destroyed Brainiac! I'm gonna make you pay!
Unlikely. [blows Luthor away] I'm more powerful than I've ever been, and the last time we met, you barely managed to hold your own.
Funny. That's not how I remember it.
Allow me to refresh your memory. [Darkseid picks up the Daily Planet globe and uses it to slam Superman through every floor of the building]
ECElderly Chinese Man
I have to go help.
ECElderly Chinese Woman
I know.
ECElderly Chinese Man
Find shelter. I'll be back as soon as I can.
Blue Devil got me close enough to get a good look. Those big burrowing machines are magma tappers.
At least now we know what they're trying to do. The invaders are setting up drilling machines to tap the heat at the Earth's core.
They're trying to create fire pits. If they succeed, it's apocalypse on Earth.
They won't succeed. Your primary targets are those drills. Destroy them at all costs.
You heard the man. Rock and roll. Looks like the main power coupling. Cover my backside.
Get out of here. It's gonna blow! Yeah!
We gotta find a way to take this out for good.
Why don't you just throw it into the sun? Yeah, I guess that was a pretty stupid idea.
No, maybe you're on to something. But I'll need more leverage, and a trench.
On it. Now what? Oh, cool.
Doesn't look like it quite made escape velocity.
Nope. Good effort, though.
