Superman
Give it up, kid. There's no way you can beat me.
TTen
I don't have to beat you. I just have to slow you down until the bomb blows!
Superman
Hold that thought! [Punches Ten high into the sky, and defuses the bomb. Ten falls back down] Now, where were we?
[another punch sends Ten flying, and Superman flies after him]
A person could really learn to hate that guy. Let's go back to watching Green Lantern croak - that should cheer me up.
[Superman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern are approaching the Thanagarian command ship, as it deploys interceptor fighters]
Superman
Yeah. They don't stand a chance.
[over radio-link] We're cutting it a little close! Have you shut off the force-field?
Superman
Not yet. Where are you?
Aboard the Watchtower, guiding it to target.
Superman
[shocked] That's insane! Get out of there!
Negative! I'm staying until... [static over radio]
Superman
Batman! [abandons fight]
[Batman loses consciousness just before Superman arrives. Superman rips up the seat he's buckled into, and flies him away from the Watchtower before impact.]
Superman
[As they pick themselves up from the rubble] Always have to be the hero, don't you?
There's no us anymore, Shayera. Just a fallen traitor And a soldier with a job to do. She won't save you again, lantern. No woman's skirt to hide behind. No ring. What are you going to do now?
I was thinking of introducing you to my friend here!
TThanagarian
All construction personnel now en route to mother ship.
PDParan Dul
Good. Begin activation sequence.
That all you got? My grandma hits harder than you.
Stand down! Lower your weapons.
Our mission is a failure. There's no more reason to fight. Let them go. I hope you're pleased with yourself. It will take years for us to rebuild elsewhere.
Then you'd better get started.
SCSnapper Carr
This is Snapper Carr reporting. In a stunning turn of events, the Thanagarian Forces have ended their occupation of earth, departing for locations unknown. Once again, the world owes a debt of gratitude To the selfless heroism of the Justice League.
They've been in there a long time.
Yes, miss, they have. If I may be so bold, I'm neither a superhero, nor a soldier, so I'm hardly qualified to judge your actions by those standards. But I do know this: without the great sacrifices you've made, we wouldn't be here to share this nice pot of tea. Whatever they decide in that room, in my eyes, you'll always be a hero.
She exploited our weaknesses, betrayed us--
Come on! She was in the ultimate no-win situation. But when push came to shove, she came through for us, just like always.
She's a pariah to her people. We're all she has left.
Superman
Believe me, J'onn. I feel for her, but after everything that's happened. I honestly don't know if I could ever completely trust her again.
We're arguing in circles. It's time to take a vote.
They've sent for you, miss.
Superman
Hawkgirl.
Before you start, I have something to say... I came to this planet as a patriot. I had a mission, and I carried it out. What I couldn't know was that I would come to care for the earth And her people... That I've come to care for all of you. I've spent the last 5 years torn between my feelings And my duty. I won't ask you to do the same. Therefore I am resigning from the justice league, Effective immediately.
Great. No Hawkgirl. No Javelin. No Watchtower. What's gonna happen to the League now? Do we all just walk away?
No. We rebuild, starting today.
Superman
J'onn's right. Earth still needs us, and we'll never let her down. It's our duty. :Green Lantern: You never asked how we voted.
I don't know. Someplace where the fate of the world wasn't in my hands. Someplace where there's no more secrets, no more lies.
I love you, John. I never lied about that. [flies away]
[tears falling off his face] I love you, too.
