What happens to you?
Redemption, if I'm lucky. Don't worry about me. Go back to your friends. Do what you do best, what you were born to do - save the world.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
[Everyone is marveling at Superman's return]
You were greatly missed, my friend... by all of us.
[All eyes turn to Batman, who is standing apart with arms crossed, emotionless]
Don't let him fool you. Your death hit him as hard as it did any of us.
Really?
No. I never believed you were dead in the first place.
I guess that's sort of a compliment.
Ain't this great? The whole team together again, all eight of us!
Count again. You're fired.
What?!
You're not Justice League material, Lobo. Go chase a bail-jumper. I don't care what you do, just clear out.
This is the thanks I get? What a stinkin' rip. [hops onto his Hog] Next time you lollipops need help, don't bother asking the Main Man! [flies away]
... We didn't ask you this time!
[In the future, Vandal Savage is sitting alone after sending Superman back to the present. Soon, people start appearing around him, along with an intact city, while Savage himself starts to disappear, indicating that Superman managed to stop him in the past]
Thank you, my friend. [fades away]
Aha, that's it. Right there.
No it's not.
I think I would know.
Ah, ah, ah! Don't touch that remote. I know it's heartbreaking to have your favorite shows preempted, but look what you're getting instead: me! And a whole truckload of mindless violence and wanton property damage, everything that makes TV great! So stay tuned - you won't believe your eyes.
Here's how we do this little tango: I've tucked away a great, big time bomb somewhere on the Vegas strip. Only the Justice League can defuse it, 'cause if anyone else tries, [shows audience a switch] I press this, and kablooie! No waiting! Now, I know you want to see the big bomb hunt from the best point of view, so I've set up hundreds of cameras all over town! The League won't be able to burp without us looking in! And since every good suspense show has to have a ticking clock, here's mine! [a display appears on screen, counting down from 23 minutes - the average length of an episode without commercials] Oh, what were you expecting from me? A round number?
The Royal Flush Gang! Jack, Ten, King, and... uhhh... [as the camera pans up from Queen's feet, showing her figure] Queen!
[watching Batman's jet land and Batman step out] I see one of our stars approaching the red carpet! And he’s in black — always chic. [Javelin lands and the rest of the Justice League step out] But here come the fashion disasters. I’m surprised their mummies let them out of the house looking like that.
While they stumble around trying to find my bomb, let's see how the local economy's doing.
[A slot machine area is deserted.]
Oh, it looks a little slow. [An old woman is shown at one of the slots] Ma'am? Ma'am? Aren't you scared?
OOld Lady
[not looking up] Of what? This thing's gotta pay up sooner or later.
Man, I LOVE this town!
[The Royal Flush Gang is fleeing the scene]
Oh, you're breaking an old man's heart, kids! Stand up to them like I would! If I were there... and if I had superpowers and... Oh, for Pete's sake, go back there and beat on them!
[after telling the origin story of his minions] The government said it was protecting them. But what it really wanted was to turn them into human weapons. And they would have gotten away with it too, if not for me meddling with the kids!
[about Ten] Ten feels no pain - literally! And he's just as strong as Stupidman!
[about Batman] Him again, it's always him!

Smart money's all on your boy Jack, Mr. J.! Batman has the edge in experience—and weight, I can't help noticing; I suspect he's indulging in too many "Bat-donuts"—but Jack is younger and he definitely has the longer reach.
I can't believe he didn't suspect a trap. See what happens when you don't watch enough television?
