I have the power to do as I please!
And the responsibility to do what is right! As leader, you serve the people. They don't serve you.

I used to use these ancient tunnels as a prison.
No wonder you're so popular.
This time D'cine, it's no game. This time, I kill you.
Maxima-
I... don't kill him? [Superman shakes his head] I... lock him up? [Brightens] For a really long time!
Are there any more like you at home?
No. But as my mother always says, "there's someone for everybody".
I'm here to get that fraggin', scum-suckin', rat-scratchin' D'cine, and nobody better stop me!
Yow!
S2 E25Apokolips...Now!

[approaching Clark and Lois] Superman!... Must warn... Superman.
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!

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!
