Martian Manhunter quotes from Justice League

[to Batman] I know what I experienced was an illusion, but it felt so real. The urge to embrace it was more than I could bear. Sometimes I believe I would do anything to see my loved ones again. You can't imagine how that feels.

Though we gather here today, bound together in sorrow and loss, we share a precious gift. We are, all of us, privileged to live a life that has been touched by Superman. The Man of Steel possessed many extraordinary gifts, and he shared them with us freely. None of these gifts were more remarkable than his ability to discern what needed to be done, and his unfailing courage in doing it, whatever the personal cost. Let us all strive to accept his gift, and pass it along, as an ongoing tribute to Kal-El of Krypton, the immigrant from the stars, who taught us all how to be heroes.

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.

You're hiding something. A secret in the recesses of your mind. Is this another of your Martian tricks?

Do I sense fear?

Wonder Woman is on another case, Superman's dealing with an earthquake and Batman would only say that he's "busy".

Hawkgirl

Typical.

[to Luthor] So much for your image as a benevolent businessman. This is the end of an era.

Lex Luthor

The end of your era, maybe.

You really should be resting. [Batman keeps typing] I know this must be hard for you, feeling vulnerable. You're the only one of us without special powers, but you don't need to prove yourself. You're a valued member of this team, and we're only trying to-

Batman

[Gets up] I'm taking the shuttle. Unless you want to try and stop me.

[pauses] No. [moves out of the way]

Flash

Picture it - The sun. The sea. Hundreds of women just like her running around, and me: the first man they've seen in... oh, maybe forever. Oh, and look what I brought: Iced mochas for everyone! Sweet.

I fail to see the attraction.

Flash

Man, you really are from Mars.

Perhaps we should concentrate on finding the relic.

Flash

No problem. [Flash grabs the crystal, speeds into the temple, and returns carrying the pot with the relic] See? That was easy. [a giant, fire breathing snake emerges from the ground] Or not!

No! The Kryptonian won! Don't you want to see him fight again?

I gotta admit, he's a real champ!

He's more than that - he's a Superman!

Can I come? Can I? Can I?

I would hesitate to put the boy in harm's way.

Sure thing, little buddy!

Oh, boy!

You understand that if we do change the past, you - this version of you - will never have existed?

Nothing would make me happier.

Vandal Savage

[seeing Martian Manhunter] Who would have thought the Übermensch would be green?

Übermensch?

Vandal Savage

The superior man. Those destined to lead the world.

I thought that was your goal.

Vandal Savage

My only desire is peace, progress, unity...

With you in charge, of course.

Vandal Savage

Why not?

[observing the recording of Vandal Savage's future self] You age gracefully.

Vandal Savage

You have no idea.

Vandal Savage

Knowing the future, how can I not succeed?

I've seen your future. It doesn't work.
