- 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.
- Grodd: Come to gloat at me again? I'm not some monkey in a zoo, throwing...
- Tala: Shh. Listen. I've been very, very bad. I backed the wrong pony. It should have been you.
- Grodd: Oh. You finally sussed it out. That hairless sweetheart of yours isn't a leader. He's a thug.
- Tala: And how. I don't like to compete for Lex with a dead computer. I want you to be my man in charge, like before. So... baby, what do you want?
- Grodd: Why, only you, my dear. And Luthor's fat head on a plate.
- 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.
- [At Lex's command, Toyman prepares to torture Tala to resurrect Brainiac]
- Toyman: [singing to tune of Twinkle, twinkle, little star] Twinkle, Twinkle, Brainiac. Tala's gonna bring you back.
- [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.
- Darkseid: It seems I have you to thank for my resurrection. Though your world will suffer slowly, I grant you a quick death.
- 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.
- Bernadeth: What is your will, my lord?
- Darkseid: As ever, to search for the Anti-Life Equation, that I may bring order to this aimless universe. But first, Superman must suffer for killing me. His adopted world will die screaming. Only then will I seek the ultimate end.
- Kanto: Forgive me, lord. But an attack on Earth would violate your pact with Highfather. New Genesis would doubtless retaliate.
- Darkseid: Where do you think I'm going next?
- 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.
- Killer Frost: One creep-sicle, coming up.
- [Toyman head-butts her]
- Killer Frost: Ow! You are so annoying.
