Charles Napier: General Hardcastle

Quotes 

• Gen. Hardcastle : Luthor, the moment we've dreaded is finally here. The aliens have turned against us.

  Lex Luthor : I told you they couldn't be trusted, General.

  Gen. Hardcastle : Well, obviously that robot was just a decoy while he and Supergirl planned the final stages of this attack. Now he's trying to knock out every major military system on the planet.

  Lex Luthor : There's only one thing to do.

  Gen. Hardcastle : I'm on it.

  Lex Luthor : Keep me posted, General.

• Lex Luthor : I've always believed as you do, General Hardcastle, that Superman poses a threat to national, even global, security. That's why I agreed to fund this operation. Ever since he first appeared in Metropolis, Project Achilles has secretly monitored all his activities.

  Gen. Hardcastle : And now, his alien friend Supergirl is using a robot to cover for him. What are they up to?

  Lex Luthor : I don't know. But we should be on our guard.

• Gen. Hardcastle : What kept ya? We're running out of time.

  Lex Luthor : I wanted to deliver this personally.

  Lex Luthor : Remember, General, you're only going to get one shot. Make it count.

• Lois Lane : Superman, stop! You'll kill her.

  Superman : You?

  Lois Lane : Yeah, it's me, Lois.

  Superman : [the brainwashing begins to wear off]  Lois?

  Lois Lane : You've always tried to help and protect, not destroy. What's happened to you?

  Superman : I... I don't know.

  Gen. Hardcastle : Fire!

  Superman : [pushing her away]  Lois, get down!

  Gen. Hardcastle : Direct hit!

  Lex Luthor : No way he could've survived that.
