Clancy Brown: Lex Luthor

Quotes 

• Grodd : You know, this mutiny was easy. The Secret Society hates you.

  Lex Luthor : [sarcastic]  Like they love you.

  [getting kicked backward] 

  Lex Luthor : Idiot simian. Half-baked objectivist.

  Grodd : [picking him up]  You're too ill-equipped to lead, Lex.

  Lex Luthor : A lower primate masquerading as an intellectual.

  Grodd : I'm the more accomplished, both physically and mentally.

  [as Grodd uses his telepathic powers, Lex presses a button on his belt to reverse them] 

  Lex Luthor : Took you long enough. I was beginning to think I'd figured you wrong. Now... bow down to me.

• Grodd : I should have let you rot in jail!

  Lex Luthor : Goodbye, Grodd. It could have gone the other way.

  Grodd : It really could have, couldn't it?

  Lex Luthor : No. But why speak ill of the dead?

  [releases Grodd into space] 

• [Lex is preparing to sacrifice Tala to resurrect Braniac] 

  Tala : Lex! Please! I beg you...!

  Lex Luthor : Hold that thought.

• [after putting down Grodd's mutiny, Lex herds the mutinous Legion members into a corner] 

  Lex Luthor : Does anyone have one good reason why I should let you live?

  [Killer Frost breaks free of the group and freezes the rest into a huge block of ice] 

  Lex Luthor : Killer Frost... you've got a future. Get rid of the others.

  Killer Frost : You got it.

• Lex Luthor : Sinestro, don't forget the floor! I want radiation shielding from every direction. Rampage!

  [resignedly, as he sees Bizarro trying to force a cube into a round outlet] 

  Lex Luthor : Help Bizarro.

• Tala : Trapped like a rat. It's very weird; you were never so much fun when we were together.

  [as she fires a blast of magic, it rebounds back onto her] 

  Lex Luthor : [removing a talisman from his jacket]  You wouldn't believe what this cost me.

• Grodd : Give it up, Lex. You're only delaying the inevitable.

  Lex Luthor : You're right.

  Grodd : [Lex deflects a blaster bolt with his metal gauntlets]  If it's all the same to you, I'd rather snap your neck with my bare hands.

• Metron : We exist between two ticks of the clock. In my travels through the myriad paths of infinity, I have seen the first and the last. But what you do today threatens the entire universe, past, present... and future.

  Lex Luthor : I should hope it does. Look, I didn't catch the name.

  Metron : Metron, scientist and chronicler.

  Lex Luthor : Well, Metron, I'll soon be ready for anything the universe can throw at me. I'm about to become a god.

  Metron : You don't know what a god is, or what you are unleashing.

  Lex Luthor : Tampering with forces beyond my ken and so forth? Nice try. If you want my power, make your move. Otherwise, you can get lost.

  Metron : You will regret your decision. We all will.

• [Lex is preparing to sacrifice Tala to resurrect Braniac] 

  Tala : You... you were planning this from the beginning! Even before I...

  Lex Luthor : I'm a sick person, too.

• [last lines] 

  Lex Luthor : We have a little problem...

• Toyman : We should be reaching the Brainiac remnant soon. By the way, thank you for making me your navigator, Luthor. I always love learning a new controller.

  Lex Luthor : Just keep us on course. The slightest error, and we're dead.

  Grodd : [he's knocked down by fire from a blaster cannon]  I wouldn't worry about it, Neanderthal. The way I see it, you're dead either way.

• Lex Luthor : Soon, people, the Secret Society will no longer exist. Instead, you'll become the new ruling class of the universe. You are the lucky few. The chosen. Witnesses to the moment I seize my godhead.

  Toyman : Luthor, what kind of game is this? Because so far, it's no fun.

  Lex Luthor : Bear with me, Toyman. You'll get the hang of it. You're going to help me collect some newly-discovered pieces of Brainiac.

  Goldface : Swell. So you merge with a living computer like you did before. You become more powerful than all of us put together. But what do we get?

  Lex Luthor : You'll all be lieutenants in the new order. Of course, if you don't like those terms, you'd better stop me now while you still have a chance. But you'd also better remember what happened to poor Goldface.

  [he presses a button on his belt, and Goldface's face is immersed in a gaseous residue] 

  Lex Luthor : I'm already more powerful than all of you put together.

• Tala : Lex, forget bringing back Brainiac.

  Lex Luthor : I don't need input from some crystal-gazing parasite. One who's confused a wench's grip on power with the real thing.

• Lex Luthor : There's still Brainiac in the universe.

  Tala : There is no way to tell where it happened.

  Lex Luthor : Wrong. I saw enough of those stars to determine the explosion's coordinates. It should be a simple matter.

  Tala : You saw the wild goose again. Concentrate on us, baby. Space is too far. Together, we can rule this world.

  Lex Luthor : [pushing her to the ground]  If you like this world so much, keep your fool mouth shut, and maybe I'll let you keep it. Me, I'm going to be a god again.

• Lex Luthor : Don't distort the metal, moron.

  Weather Wizard : I don't even know why we're doing this.

  Lex Luthor : Killer Frost, if Weather Wizard here doesn't shape up, I'm holding you accountable.

  Killer Frost : Whatever.

  Lex Luthor : Structural integrity is crucial.

  Killer Frost : Okay, got it. Jeez.
