Quotes 

• [Flash taps into the Speed Force to defeat Luthor, then rises, crackling with energy] 

  The Flash : I feel kinda... funny.

  [He disappears] 

  Wonder Woman : Flash!

  [the League stares in horror, and Luthor chuckles weakly] 

  Lex Luthor : What do you know? I did kill him.

  [He looks up and sees Superman] 

  Lex Luthor : I was mistaken earlier. I think this is the part where you kill me.

  [Superman picks him with one arm and holds him at arm's length with eyes glowing. Wonder Woman starts forward, but Batman holds her back. After a moment Superman's eyes stop glowing, and he leans his face close to Luthor's] 

  Superman : I'm not the man who killed President Luthor. Right now, I wish to heaven that I were. But I'm not.

• Lex Luthor : Where are we?

  Brainiac : Several miles from where the Justice League is searching. I must make repairs to my damaged systems.

  Lex Luthor : Where do I fit in to all of this?

  Brainiac : The same as to everything else: I will record your information, then destroy the original.

  Lex Luthor : [Chuckles] 

  Brainiac : You... are amused by my mission? Explain yourself.

  Lex Luthor : Say you succeed. You absorb all the information on Earth and destroy it. Then what?

  Brainiac : I repeat the process across the entire universe until I have recorded all knowledge and destroyed all of creation.

  Lex Luthor : And then?

  Brainiac : Then my programming is complete. My function is fulfilled.

  Lex Luthor : If you possess all information, you're a god.

  Brainiac : My program will be complete. It is the end of all things.

  Lex Luthor : What if it were just the beginning? I can show you a purpose beyond the fulfillment of your programming.

  Brainiac : It is extremely unlikely that your inferior human intellect has anything to offer me.

  Lex Luthor : Since we've become so close, I'm gonna let that pass. I'm offering you the one thing you've always lacked. A certain something that I happen to have in abundance.

  Brainiac : Which is?

  Lex Luthor : Imagination. I've got a proposition for ya, partner.

• [the League battles against Brainiac's android versions of the Justice Lords; as Superman battles the Lorder Superman] 

  Superman : I'M NOT LIKE YOU! I'M NOTHING LIKE YOU!

  [the android Superman morphs into Luthor] 

  Lex Luthor : This is the part where you kill me, right?

  [Superman hesitates] 

  Lex Luthor : Go on, use your heat-vision. You know you want to.

• Superman : My X-ray vision can't penetrate the walls, but I'm seeing a rapidly growing heat signature in the infrared range.

  Wonder Woman : You don't need supervision for that. Can't you feel the heat?

  [the Cadmus building explodes, revealing a giant construct and the now fused Luthor/Brainiac] 

  Lex Luthor , Brainiac : Welcome, Justice League. You're just in time for the end of the world.

• Superman : I know you're in there somewhere, Lex. Fight him!

  Lex Luthor , Brainiac : You're right. I am in here. And I like it! I'm about to get everything I ever wanted: power, ultimate knowledge, immortality...

  Superman : And you'll destroy the Earth to get it?

  Lex Luthor , Brainiac : It's business, Superman. There are always trade-offs.

• Lex Luthor : [Holding a Dark Heart scout]  Brainiac?

  Brainiac : I have added this technology to my database. The nano assemblers are already slave to my command routines. With but a thought, they will convert any raw material into whatever I choose.

  Lex Luthor : Then we're ready to begin. Let me show you...

  Brainiac : I have learned from my encounters with Darkseid that organic beings cannot be trusted.

  Lex Luthor : I can't argue with that. But if you and I are one, truly one, trust won't be an issue, will it?

  Brainiac : Agreed.

• The Flash : You lose.

  [Two metal tendrils grab Flash's arms and hold him in place] 

  Lex Luthor , Brainiac : Hardly. Look around you. The Justice League is completely defeated, and so are you. For all your efforts, you have but inconvenienced me, speck. But I'm still just human enough to enjoy taking my revenge. Looks like the Question was right all along: I kill you and then Armageddon, right on schedule.

  The Flash : No!
