Kid Superman quotes from Justice League Unlimited

My people can handle this.

No, they can't. Your people are good, Luthor is better. And if you get a lead on him, I expect to be kept in the loop.

Superman

Of course.

Chuck?

Chuck Sirianni

What is it, honey?

Your old footlocker's beeping. At first I thought it was the smoke detector.

Chuck Sirianni

That ain't no smoke alarm. It's a sound I never thought I'd hear again. There's trouble on Blackhawk Island.

Superman

Aztek didn't find anything else?

Sorry, Superman. It was a bad lead.

Superman

Nobody's fault. When you guys do pick up Luthor's trail, call me. I want in.

Shayera Hol

You know what? This new monitor-duty rotation isn't so bad. No more overnights unless you want them. Only one shift a week and you're done. Wally?

Mmm.

I'm telling you, you should let it grow out.

Shayera Hol

Why don't you just go talk to her?

What, me? Talk to her No way!

Shayera Hol

Yeah, you'd probably be wasting your time anyway. I hear she's...

you know... [Flash looks curiously at her]

Shayera Hol

Brazilian.

Ha, ha.

Shayera Hol

If you're afraid to talk to her, I'll tell her for you. [Starts walking over to Fire]

[Stopping her] Don't!

Shayera Hol

You are so very sad.

Got something for you. Tell Hawkgirl your story, Mr. Sirianni.

Chuck Sirianni

We met a while back, ma'am. Longer for me than for you. When you traveled in time to World War II, you fought alongside my squadron.

Shayera Hol

You're one of the Blackhawks.

Chuck Sirianni

Only one still kicking, I'm sorry to say.

What's the problem?

Chuck Sirianni

During the war and for decades after, we captured a lot of weapons. Real sci-fi stuff. We hid the worst of it on Blackhawk Island. We decommissioned the place over 30 years ago. But this morning, the old security alarm went off. Might be nothing.

Shayera Hol

Or it might be someone raiding your armory. We'll take a look. Shayera out. Pick a third for the team.

Um...

Shayera Hol

Oh, Yob Shiggurath! Hey, Fire!

Yes?

Shayera Hol

We've got a mission. Let's go.

Chuck Sirianni

I'm not going to argue with you about this.

I didn't come to argue. It gets cold up there.

Allow me. Something of a specialty of mine.

Superman

Is everything okay?

Wonder Woman

Well, I’m sort of missing Flash’s obligatory joke about how Grodd made a monkey out of us.

Superman

Just couldn’t let it go unsaid.

Wonder Woman

Obligatory.

That's it, guys. Yuk it up. You saved the world, but I failed. Everyone in Nanda Parbat is gone-- forever.

We're in your debt again, Justice League.

Superman

If only Luthor and Grodd hadn't gotten away.

If it's any consolation, we've picked up nearly a dozen of his super-powered cronies-- with more to come, I'm sure.

No. I didn't mean.

Superman

Bruce, Deadman took over your body. It wasn't your fault.

Let me explain. He would have shot her. I didn't have a choice.

Boston Brand, your actions have led to the death of another.

I'm sorry. I-- I didn't mean to--

Intentions are immaterial. You were gifted with power to be used to balance the scales of karma. Because of your actions, the scale now is unbalanced.

Unbalanced? Thanks to Devil Ray and his team, the master and all the other monks are dead.

Incorrect. When the heart was shattered, the essences of the monks were set free. Even now their souls return to their rightful places.

No one dies in Nanda Parbat. But the scales are unbalanced. Your work in this world is not yet done.

Lex Luthor

Since there's only one monkey left around here, I'm assuming that the Justice League found a way to stop the carrier wave.

Gorilla Grodd

There's more than one way to peel a banana. Next time--

Lex Luthor

I wasn't going to do this for another couple of weeks, but seriously... [rises from table and draws a gun] Turning all of humanity into apes? [aims weapon at Grodd] That was your master plan?! [Shoots Grodd, then turns to the other villains] Listen up! From now on, I'm in charge of this operation. Anybody got a problem with that?

Tala

No problem at all... baby.

Green Arrow

Shoot. I know. I was hoping they'd be out looking for us.

No. shoot.

Obliterate them.

Green Arrow

Okay, big guy, that's as far as you go.

You can't stop Validus with that toy.

Green Arrow

Rusty, I got him right where I want him.

No!

Supergirl

John, stop! Fight it.

Green Lantern

Kara. I knew what I was doing, but I couldn't stop.

Where are we?

Last thing I remember was... Oh, no.

Green Arrow

Just so you know, the sharp part's on the other end, chief.

Believe me, that's coming.

Aah!

Tear him to bits. Slowly.

We wanted to say thanks by making you honorary legionnaires.

Green Lantern

It's very nice, but I already have a ring.

Don't worry about it, GL. You can't keep it anyway. If you took it home, the future technology could pollute the time stream.

Supergirl

I'm keeping mine. I'm not going back. Kara? History says Supergirl never returned from this mission because she decided to stay in the future.

Superman

Whatever abducted them didn't leave any energy signature. Maybe Dr. Fate or Zatanna? Where's Kara?

Green Lantern

She asked us to give you this.

Supergirl

Tell Ma and Pa I love them. And I love you too, Clark. Don't take this the wrong way, but I've found a place where I can make a difference. Where I'm more than just Superman's kid cousin. I... I feel I belong here. Also, I met this boy.

Green Arrow

You should have seen her. She was amazing.

Green Lantern

She's a grown woman now, capable of choosing--

Superman

Kara's headstrong, but she's always made good decisions. I trust her judgment. But you were right, Ollie. I wish I had told her.

Green Arrow

It's okay, Clark. She knows.

Superman

Now, this boy Kara likes so much, does he have a name?

Superman

Let's say, just for the sake of argument, that I believe a single word of your story. How did you survive the explosion?

Lex Luthor

By the skin of my teeth. But stranded more than a power ring's charge from home, we found ourselves dependent on the kindness of strangers. A resident of the nearby planet, New Genesis, drawn by our ship's explosion, offered his help. We accepted, of course.

Superman

You've got some nerve coming to us for help.

Lex Luthor

Darkseid took Brainiac away from me. I can't hear his voice in my head anymore!

Giganta

Enough of the crazy talk, Lex. Darkseid said he was coming to Earth to destroy it. You guys are supposed to keep that from happening.

Green Lantern

We'll do just that, lady. Thanks for the heads up.

Atomic Skull

And what about us?

Wonder Woman

You're all going into holding cells.

Atomic Skull

You think so? Ain't no way we're giving up without a...

Watchtower to Metro Tower. We've got a situation.

Superman

What's going on up there?

Multiple hyperspatial incursions. But they're planetside. I'm sending telemetry.

Boom tubes.

Superman

He's right. Can you hear it? Like thunder.

Attention all Justice League personnel, this is an omega-level threat.

Get to the Javelins.

Shayera-Hol

No time. All members prepare for emergency teleport. Send us first. Give the others a chance to get their pants on.

You got it.

Superman

Okay, let's get these people locked up. Sounds like we've got a fight on our hands.

Giganta

If you think you're locking us up while the whole world's under attack, you've got two fights on your hands.

She's got a point. We'll need all the bodies we can throw at this.

Superman

Oh, come on! It's Lex flippin' Luthor! Why should we trust him?!

Atomic Skull

Hey, it's our world too!

Lex Luthor

Let's be clear about this. We're not here to help you save the world. You're here to help me get revenge on Darkseid. When this is over, it's back to business as usual.

Superman

[glares at Lex] Wouldn't have it any other way.

Search through the telemetry on the attack groups; find the best-protected mother ship. That's where Darkseid will be.

Superman

And that's where I want to go.

I imagine so— it's in Metropolis, hovering over the Daily Planet. Stand by.

Lex Luthor

Was there a plan here?

Take out the small fries until we attract the big fish's attention.

Lex Luthor

Ha! With everything going on, I bet he never notices us!

You're on.

Superman

I'll take some of that action.

Darkseid

I'm more powerful than I've ever been, and the last time we met, you barely managed to hold your own.

Superman

Funny. That's not how I remember it.

Darkseid

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]

Darkseid

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.

Superman

'Scuse me.

Darkseid

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.

Superman

Luthor!

Darkseid

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?

Superman

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?

Darkseid

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

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.

Darkseid

You would dare challenge me? Insanity!

Lex Luthor

Oh, I'm not here to challenge you, Darkseid. Quite the contrary. I've got something you want. The only thing you want.

Darkseid

[astonished] The Anti-Life Equation!

Lex Luthor

My gift to you.

Superman

Lex, don't!

It's too late.

Darkseid

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Lex Luthor

Yes, yes it is.

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.

Superman

Thanks to Luthor, of all people.

In many ways, Lex Luthor represents the worst of what mankind has to offer.

Superman

But he died saving us all.

I doubt that either of them died.

Superman

But we saw it this time!

You saw it last time too.

Green Lantern

What's that old saying? "Believe half of what you see..."

Shayera Hol

"...and none of what you hear." They'll be back.

And we'll be ready for them.

[on the cell phone to his wife] I should be back in time to dinner. I love you too.

These are the end times.

Superman

[to Batman] A head start? You're getting soft in your old age.

[smiling] Don't you have a tall building to go leap?

Wonder Woman

And the adventure continues.

Lex Luthor

Back off! Was there a plan here?

Take out the small fry until we attract the big fish's attention.

Lex Luthor

Ha! With everything going on, I'll bet he never notices us.

You're on.

Superman

I'll take some of that action.

Darkseid

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.

Lex Luthor

You destroyed Brainiac! I'm gonna make you pay!

Darkseid

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.

Superman

Funny. That's not how I remember it.

Darkseid

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]

I have to go help.

I know.

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.

Shayera Hol

You heard the man. Rock and roll. Looks like the main power coupling. Cover my backside.

Atomic Skull

Get out of here. It's gonna blow! Yeah!

Green Lantern

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.

Green Lantern

No, maybe you're on to something. But I'll need more leverage, and a trench.

On it. Now what? Oh, cool.

Green Lantern

Doesn't look like it quite made escape velocity.

Nope. Good effort, though.
