Superman quotes from Justice League

Superman

Medic! He needs help.

[wheezing a stretcher over to where Superman is landing] What happened?

Superman

I'm not sure. [Superman lays Batman, unconsciously, on a stretcher and flies away. The medic takes his pulse, then reaches for his mask.]

Batman

[grabbing her waist] Don't even think about it.

I came to warn you, but I was captured and imprisoned. They wouldn't listen.

Batman

Big surprise.

I sense you don't trust me. Perhaps this will help. [after changing to a more human form] I am J'onn J'onzz.

Superman

Don't take it personally, J'onn. He doesn't trust anyone.

[dryly] A wise policy.

Flash

Whoa! Where have you been all my life?

Wonder Woman

Themyscira.

Flash

Huh?

Hawkgirl

The home of the Amazons. I always thought it was merely a legend.

Wonder Woman

I assure you, it's as real as the ground on which we stand on. I am Diana, Princess of the Amazons.

Flash

Pinch me, I must be dreaming. [Superman elbows him] Ow!

Wonder Woman

Themyscira is protected by the gods. But I could not idly stand by when the rest of the world is in danger.

Superman

It was lucky you showed up when you did.

No. Not luck. I telepathically summoned them.

Flash

Look, I'm usually pretty quick on the uptake, but would someone please tell me, what the heck is going on here? [Everyone looks at him]

Wonder Woman

So, J'onn J'onzz, you came from Mars to warn us?

Flash

This is just too weird.

Green Lantern

I've seen stranger things.

Flash

What's the problem? Can't you just whip up another batch of that nerve gas?

Unfortunately, no. The gas can only be made from a rare Martian plant. I brought a sample with me, but it was destroyed when I was captured.

Flash

Uh, what's Plan B?

Wonder Woman

We'll have to take out those factories.

Green Lantern

Lady, this is no job for amateurs.

Wonder Woman

We Amazons are warriors born! Want to test me?

Superman

Lets not fight among ourselves. John, we're going to need all the help we can get.

Green Lantern

Fine. Sorry, "your highness". Tactically, we'll have multiple objectives. We'll need to split into teams.

Flash

Dibs on the Amazon! [cut to Flash and Green Lantern] You are no fun!

Green Lantern

This isn't supposed to be fun. We've got a job to do. We'll do it better without distractions. Understood?

Flash

Yeah, yeah. I hear you.

Superman

Are you always so eager to fight?

Hawkgirl

My homeworld, Thanagar, is a war-like world. There, one must strike first or die.

Superman

[looking out the window] Incredible...Do your stockholders know about this Bruce?

Batman

A line item hidden in the aerospace R&D budget.

Superman

I once thought I could protect the world by myself, but I was wrong. Working together, we saved the planet, and I believe that if we stay together as a team, we could be a force that could truly work for the ideals of peace and justice.

The Flash

What, like a bunch of... super friends?

Superman

More like a Justice League.

The Flash

You have no idea how corny that sounds. But maybe the big guy's got a point. With all of us behind it, it just might work. Count me in.

Green Lantern

Me too.

Hawkgirl

And me.

Wonder Woman

My mother may not approve, but I found Man's World to be quite intriguing. I'll gladly join.

Superman

Hawkgirl!

Hawkgirl

What? [Superman flies off to prevent the ship from crashing] Oh, that.

Superman

You know, all this could have been avoided.

How?

Superman

Come and air your grievances at the World Assembly. Negotiate for peace.

You'd have me crawl to them like some beggar?

Superman

No. Stand before them like a king.

Batman

I'll take it from here. [takes Deadshot away from the group]

You can't scare me, Batman.

Batman

[grabbing him] Let me give you one word of advice...

Okay, I'll tell, I'll tell.

Wonder Woman

[to Superman] What did he say?

Superman

You don't want to know.

Superman

His own hand... I can't believe it.

Green Lantern

I told you he was a madman.

Is it madness to sacrifice all for someone you love?

[sighs] I can only blame myself. My fear of the surface-dwellers blinded me to those I should have feared most... and it cost me dearly. [looks down at the harpoon replacing his severed hand]

Green Lantern

Don't be too hard on yourself. Maybe we've all misjudged.

Perhaps. All I want, all I've ever wanted, is peace and security for Atlantis.

Superman

After what's happened, it won't be easy.

[looks back at Mera, holding their son] I know. But some sacrifices are worth it.

Superman

Lex, if there's anything I can do-

Lex Luthor

You've done more than enough!

Superman

I'm going down to interrogate him.

Batman

Alright. Let's go.

Superman

No, you're staying here. That venom almost killed you.

Batman

So?

Superman

SO, you're staying here.

Batman

[watches Superman leave] Right. [sits up and removes wrist IV]

Copperhead

I keep telling you, I don't know anything! I'm just...

... "an innocent victim of circumstances".

Flash

Yeah, yeah, we know.

Superman

Copperhead, when are you going to get some sense and tell us where Luthor is?!

Copperhead

[not intimidated] Oooh, this must be the part where I get so scared, I spill my guts.

Superman

I'm warning you...

Copperhead

What are you gonna do, boy-scout? Short my sheets? Give me a wedgie?

Superman

[drops Copperhead, and turns to two guards] Take him back to a holding cell.

Copperhead

[being taken away] Hasta la vista! [hisses]

Flash

[sarcastically] That went well.

Superman

How does Batman do it?

Wonder Woman

[walking through a mall] It's like some kind of temple.

Superman

Yes, for those who worship their credit cards.
