I did not return you to earth so you could indulge in petty theft.
Petty?! We cleared over twenty million!
I play for higher stakes.
You promised you'd make me a king!
And so you are – a king of fools!
You're a magnificent opponent, Superman, but even you must realize it's hopeless.
I could easily destroy you now, and once you're gone, the pathetic beings of this planet won't have the will to resist me. The few who survive, that is.
Think of it, Superman. The power you have now, it's nothing compared with what I'm offering you.
You know I can't do that.
Pity. Still, if you won't be my knight, you will be my pawn.
I've got to get down there!
TRToby Raynes
Whoa, cowboy, what are you going to do? Hold your gun in one hand and your IV in the other?
People of Earth, I am Darkseid, lord of Apokolips. Here is your savior, cowed and broken. I have crushed him as easily as I have crushed all who have dared to oppose me throughout the cosmos. I am power unlike any you have ever known: absolute, infinite, and unrelenting. You have no choice but to prepare as a long dark future as my subjects and my slaves.
[being opposed] They know this is suicide.
Better a quick death in battle than a slow one under your heel.
I don't care how many crummy planets you've conqured! You ain't getting this one!
It is good to see you after all these years, my son. I've observed your boldness and ferocity for some time. Not without undue pride. Though you're misguided in your loyalty, I won't quibble over this insignificant speck in the universe. I would hate to spoil our reunion with bloodshed. [to his troops] Return.
[last words] Go on, ya mangy buzzards, and don't come back!
Savor your moment of triumph, Superman, but remember, victory has its price.
[At Dan Turpin's funeral] Goodbye, old friend. In the end, the world didn't really need a "super man"... just a brave one.
