Carl Lumbly: J'onn J'onzz, Martian Manhunter

Quotes 

• J'onn J'onzz : Batman hasn't arrived. Have you spoken with him?

  Wonder Woman : He's still not answering calls. He doesn't handle loss very well.

  [at Superman's funeral, people start murmuring] 

  Hawkgirl : Is that him now? I can't see.

  Lois Lane : I can.

  [Luthor has appeared among the mourners] 

  Lois Lane : Luthor, how dare you show your face here!

  Lex Luthor : Lois, I...

  Lois Lane : [slaps him]  Have you come to gloat? You've tried to get rid of him for years! Are you happy now? Isn't this what you've always wanted? I hate you! I HATE YOU!

  [she starts beating him with her fists, then collapses into his arms, sobbing] 

  Lex Luthor : Believe it or not, I'm going to miss him too.

• J'onn J'onzz : Though we gather here today bound together in sorrow and loss, we share a precious gift. We are all of us privileged to live a life that has been touched by Superman. The Man of Steel possessed many extraordinary gifts, and he shared them with us freely. None of these gifts were more remarkable than his ability to discern what needed to be done, and his unfailing courage in doing it, whatever the personal cost. Let us all strive to accept his gift and pass it along, as an ongoing tribute to Kal-El of Krypton, the immigrant from the stars who taught us all how to be heroes.

• J'onn J'onzz : The Justice League is about more than physical power! It's about ideals, caring, helping.

  Lobo : Buy me a ticket to Pukesville.

• J'onn J'onzz : I must admit, I'm also having doubts about the League's future.

  Flash : Never thought I'd hear that kind of talk from you, J'onn.

  J'onn J'onzz : How many battles did we win, simply because he was there?

  Flash : Yeah. I used to be able to goof around so much because I knew Superman had my back. Now all I've got is his example. And that's gonna have to be enough.

• Lobo : Say what you want, but the Justice League needs the Main Man.

  John Stewart : He might be right.

  Snapper Carr : [on a news broadcast]  Metropolis is under siege. Following a mass jailbreak, dozens of supervillains are running amok downtown, apparently in celebration of the recent loss of...

  Lobo : [cut to the Javelin departing the Watchtower]  You ain't gonna be sorry you brought the Main Man.

  John Stewart : Right. Like we were gonna leave you alone in the Watchtower.

  Lobo : But long as I'm here, I get to bust heads.

  J'onn J'onzz : You will do precisely as we instruct; no more, no less.

  Lobo : Sure thing. Finders keepers on any bounties, right?

  Hawkgirl : [raising her mace as a warning]  You need to be quiet now.

• J'onn J'onzz : Perhaps this isn't the best time, but we need to consider replenishing our forces.

  The Flash : A new member? Who? Aquaman, maybe?

  John Stewart : Metamorpho.

  Hawkgirl : Is Supergirl old enough?

  Wonder Woman : Before we look outside, we should start with family.

  [contacting Batman] 

  Wonder Woman : Batman, this is Diana.

  Batman : Go ahead.

  Wonder Woman : We're discussing the future of the Justice League. We're hoping you'll make it official and become a full-time member.

  Batman : [curtly]  I'm busy. Batman out.

  The Flash : Yeah, Aquaman could definitely pick up Batman's slack in the pompous jerk department.

  Wonder Woman : He's grieving. Give him time.
