Quotes 

• Darkseid : You still try to fight. Can't you see that it's hopeless?

  Superman : That man won't quit as long as he can still draw a breath. None of my teammates will. Me? I've got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard. Always taking constant care not to break something. To break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control, even for a moment, or someone could die.

  [Darkseid tries to attack, but Superman knocks him back] 

  Superman : But you can take it, can't ya, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose, and show you just how powerful I really am!

• [last lines] 

  Superman : A head start? You're getting soft in your old age.

  Batman : Don't you have a tall building to go leap?

  Wonder Woman : And the adventure continues.

• Batman : Okay, let's get these people locked up. Sounds like we've got a fight on our hands.

  Giganta : If you think you're locking us up while the whole world is under attack, you got two fights on your hands.

  [the Leaguers and Legionnaires stare each other down, ready to fight] 

  Batman : She's right. We'll need all the bodies we can throw at this.

  Superman : Oh, come on! It's Lex Flippin' Luthor! Why should we trust him?

  Atomic Skull : Hey, it's our world too!

  Lex Luthor : Let's be clear about this: we're not here to help you save the world, you're here to help me get revenge on Darkseid. When this is over, it's back at business as usual.

  [Superman glares at Lex for a long moment] 

  Superman : Wouldn't have it any other way.

• [fighting Parademons beneath Darkseid's command ship] 

  Lex Luthor : Was there a plan here?

  Batman : Take out the small fry until we attract the big fish's attention.

  Lex Luthor : Ha! With everything that's going on, I'll bet he never notices us!

  [a portal appears, and Darkseid floats down] 

  Batman : You're on.

  Superman : I'll take some of that action.

• Darkseid : Still alive. You impress me, Kryptonian. More, your valor has touched my heart. Oh yes, there is still some small part of me that knows mercy. I will end your pain with something special I've been saving for just this occasion.

  [takes out a Kryptonite knife] 

  Darkseid : I'm going to carve out your heart and put it on a pike in my throne room.

  Lex Luthor : As much as I'd enjoy seeing that, first you got some business with me.

  [Luthor approaches Darkseid, donning his buisness suit] 

  Lex Luthor : Sorry it took me so long, I had to go get my power suit.

  Darkseid : You dare challenge me? Insanity.

  Lex Luthor : Oh, I'm not here to challenge you, Darkseid. Quite the contrary. I've got something you want.

  [Reaches into his coat pocket, pulling out a spiraling, bright, glowing mass] 

  Lex Luthor : The only thing you want.

  Darkseid : The Anti-Life Equation...

  Lex Luthor : My gift to you.

  [Darkseid reaches for it, Luthor placing his hand over Darkseid's as the Anti-Life Equation starts to engulf the two in light] 

  Superman : Lex, don't!

  Batman : [Bholds Superman back]  It's too late!

  Darkseid : It's beautiful, isn't it?

  Lex Luthor : Yes... yes, it is.

• Sroya Bashir : [Reporting]  This has been the scene all over the world. In the wake of Darkseid's defeat, his attacking forces have withdrawn, persumably back to wherever it is they came from.

  Superman : Thanks to Luthor, of all people.

  J'onn J'onzz : In many ways, Lex Luthor represents the worst mankind has to offer.

  Superman : But he died saving us all.

  Batman : I doubt either of them died.

  Superman : We saw it this time.

  The Flash : You saw it last time too.

  Green Lantern : What's the old saying? Believe half of what you see...

  Shayera Hol : ...And none of what you hear. They'll be back.

  J'onn J'onzz : And we'll be ready for them.

• Lex Luthor : After this, it's back to business as usual.

  Superman : Wouldn't have it any other way.
