Darkseid quotes from Superman: The Animated Series

Darkseid

[being opposed] They know this is suicide.

Superman

Better a quick death in battle than a slow one under your heel.

Darkseid

Ever proud, eh, Kryptonian? I must say I find it to be... wearying.

Superman

What was this boot-licker doing on Earth, Darkseid? I thought your business there was settled.

Darkseid

I never settle. What I cannot have, I destroy.

Supergirl

I've seen one planet die, and I'm not going to stand by and watch it happen again.

Darkseid

Noble sentiments, my dear. [fires Omega Beams at her]

Granny Goodness

Oh, great and powerful Darkseid, I...

Darkseid

Furies... teach Granny the price of failure.

Granny Goodness

No! My precious girls! Don't! Don't hurt your beloved Granny... [Lashina cracks her whip] NOOO-OOO!

Darkseid

[after Kalibak is easily beaten by Superman] I can't believe he's blood.

Superman

You used me.

Darkseid

I told you once, Superman: If you would not be my knight, you would be my pawn.

Superman

I see you're a man of your word.

Darkseid

I am many things, Kal-El. You couldn't even begin to imagine half of them. But for now, I shall take the role of the executioner. A final gift, my wayward son: A fast death, infinitely preferable to the shame of returning to Earth. There, your legacy would be one of fear and distrust - a pariah desperately seeking the favor of a world that cursed your name.

Superman

[Punches Darkseid] That was for Dan Turpin!

Darkseid

Who?

Superman

The good man you murdered!

Darkseid

Had I known one human's death would pain you so, Kal-El, I would have killed more. And kill more I shall. Carry that agony with you to oblivion, Superman.
