Superman quotes from Superman: The Animated Series

Superman

Whoever you are...

Kalibak

My name is Kalibak!

Superman

I'll settle with you in a moment.

Superman

What have you done to him? [Pause; no response] I asked you a question. Who are you? [Smile; no response] Answer me!

Darkseid

[attacks Superman with his Omega Beams, frying him until he's on the ground, writhing] That is who I am.

Superman

I hope I didn't shake you and the others up too bad.

Lois Lane

I have to say... I've gotten used to it. [Superman smiles and turns to leave. After a pause, Lois goes after him]

Lois Lane

Um...Superman?

Superman

Yes?

Lois Lane

Um, how can I put this...I was just thinking, it might be nice to see each other when I wasn't-I don't know, falling out a window or something. Not that I'm not grateful for all the times you've helped me, you understand.

Superman

I understand.

Lois Lane

You do?

Superman

It's the First National Bank.

Lois Lane

You better go. People might- [Superman takes off] -get hurt. [starts walking dejectedly away] I understand, Lois. Really, you do! Yep, you're a complete moron. Why, thank you, Superman, I think I'm a total loser too...geez.

Batman

Where's the Joker?

Who knows? Making 'ha-ha' with Harley Quinn? [Batman shoves him hard against the door] I don't know, honest! I never went back after he muscled in. I want nothing to do with that clown!

Superman

[Arrives, putting his hand on Batman's arm] That's enough. I think you got your answer. [Batman grabs Superman's arm and throws him onto a table. While he's distracted, Binko runs off. Batman turns to go after him, but Superman body-checks him into the wall, dazing Batman]

Superman

I heard you were crazy. I didn't think you were stupid. [uses X-ray vision to see through Batman's cowl] Bruce Wayne?

Batman

You peeked.

Superman

I won't have vigilantism in my town.

Batman

[Secretly taking a small bag out of his belt] You'll be rid of me...as soon as I find the Joker.

Superman

That may not be soon enough. [Batman holds up the small bag, which contains a piece of kryptonite. Superman groans and starts to back away]

Batman

It doesn't take much, does it? The Joker has 20 pounds more where this came from. Thought you might like to know. [Tosses the bag into a glass of water. Superman looks at it, then turns and sees Batman is gone]

Bruce Wayne

You realize she's just the bait.

Superman

I'll be careful.

Bruce Wayne

Careful won't cut it. With Joker, expect the unexpected.

Superman

Maybe you should have remembered that.

Joker

[When Superman, unaffected by Joker's kryptonite thanks to his lead suit, forces Joker to take him to Lois] I don't understand! I had it all planned so perfectly...Oh, wait! That's it!

Superman

What?

Joker

Silly me! I forgot the ACID! [Sprays acid from his carnation onto Superman. The acid melts away half of the lead suit. Joker then throws the kryptonite at Superman's chest. Superman collapses. Joker cackles] Aw, what's the matter, Suppy? [Kicks Superman over] No more steam left in the old locomotive?

Superman

Thank you. I couldn't have saved Lois without your help.

Batman

I'm aware of that.

Lois Lane

I'll get some iodine for that scrape. Burning, stinging iodine. [Walks into the bathroom]

Superman

I see she's taking it well.

Bruce Wayne

It's ironic, you know. She likes Bruce Wayne, and she likes Superman. It's the other two guys she's not crazy about.

Superman

Too bad we can't mix and match.

Batman

See anything?

Superman

Luthor's been lining his buildings with lead. It blocks my x-ray vision.

Batman

Well, there's always the direct approach. [Superman punches in the door, and bows Batman inside] You're learning.

Lois Lane

Just think what would have been like for him if he'd lived. First finding out he wasn't... well... you, and then his home, his whole world destroyed in one day. Can you imagine?

Superman

Yeah, I think I can. He'd probably feel a lot like I did when I learned I wasn't human. You don't know who you are or where you belong. Why you're here.

Superman

[voice over] You don't know who you are. Where you belong. Why you're here?

Bizarro

Me make Krypton. Then me am home!

Superman

Let me guess... Bizarro?

Maggie Sawyer

Any idea what he's doing?

Superman

Remodeling. He thinks he's me so he's trying to create his own version of Krypton.

Dan Turpin

Naturally...

Lois Lane

So, what is all this?

Bizarro

It am Dada's house on Krypton.

Lois Lane

Krypton? You remember Krypton?

Bizarro

Shiny Ball show me. It say me am Kal-El, and it show me baby me.

Superman

Unfortunately "Shiny Ball" was confused at the time.

Superman

Hey Bizarro, I have something for you. Catch!

Bizarro

Thanks! Ooh, rock is pretty!

Superman

{to Lois} Our DNA must be too dissimilar.

Superman

You'll kill millions of people!

Bizarro

That how Krypton end!

Superman

But this isn't Krypton!

Bizarro

Me make it Krypton! Now Krypton explodes!

Superman

And what about Lois? If you do this, Lois will die!

Bizarro

Lois? Lois not on Krypton.

Superman

Right. But, she's down there now.

Superman

Now, would you like to hear the rest of the story? [Superman has taken Bizarro to a lush green planet circled by ringed moons] You can defend this planet. It is all yours.

Bizarro

This crummy planet! How can me be defender of planet when there is no one here to defend?

Superman

I thought of that issue. Which is why I brought you a friend.

Bizarro

Krypto!
