Quotes
-
Batman : [defeating Equinox] That was too easy.
Dr. Fate : I sense Equinox wanted this. But the picture is incomplete. We must investigate further at...
[simulataneously]
Dr. Fate : ...my tower.
Batman : The Batcave.
[they both scowl]
Batman : We should make use of the superior tools for the job.
Dr. Fate : Agreed.
[simultaneously again]
Dr. Fate : The Eldritch scrolls.
Batman : The Batcomputer. State-of-the-art crime lab.
Dr. Fate : All-seeing orb of Octorum.
Batman : [seeing the Batplane transform into a dragon] Right. The tower it is.
-
Dr. Fate : Something's terribly wrong.
Batman : ['turning on' an orb, they see Aquaman in Atlantis] Atlantis is under attack.
Dr. Fate : From beasts not seen on Earth for millions of years.
Batman : Open a portal. Aquaman needs our help.
Dr. Fate : Wait. These are not isolated incidents. It's happening everywhere. The entire universe is careening violently between order and chaos.
-
Dr. Fate : The courts of order and chaos. My master Nabu approaches with Typhon, Lord of Chaos. We must treat them with utmost reverence, so follow my lead and let me do all the talking.
Batman : Got it.
Nabu : Who dares bring a mortal in the presence of deities?
Dr. Fate : My lords, masters of this realm, a humble servant of order has traveled far with a worthy stranger to seek your wise counsel. Will you hear our pleas?
-
Batman : [kneeling before Equinox] I can't win this fight. I see that now.
Equinox : Such formalities no longer matter.
Batman : Just one thing. The destruction of a universe hardly seems like an act of balance.
Equinox : What? What are you talking about?
Batman : The chaos deep in your heart outweighs the order. It's why you rebelled against your lords.
Equinox : I rebelled because the type of balancing act they demanded was impossible.
Batman : And you hate them for it.
Equinox : What do you know about never-ending responsibilities? Of course I hate them. Wait. If I'm not in balance... then this was all for nothing? No. No!
Batman : You're cracking up, Equinox.
[throwing a punch]
Batman : Balance this!
Dr. Fate : [Equinox is vanquished by the collapsing vortex] Looks like Equinox has finally found his equilibrium.
-
Equinox : I warned you once not to get in my way, now learn why.
[getting the better of Batman]
Equinox : It seems that the combined powers of all my old masters are more than a match for the powers of your friends. Now, where was I?
Dr. Fate : We need a plan.
Batman : You're right. I surrender.
Dr. Fate : That's not a plan!
-
Equinox : Time to ring down the curtain on this flawed universe.
[catching a blast from Dr. Fate, he fires it back]
Dr. Fate : He's too strong for me. And with the combined powers of the Lords of Order and Chaos, he's too strong for any hero.
Batman : Then maybe we should combine some powers of our own.
Dr. Fate : [conjuring other heroes] With your permission, I'll borrow all your powers and skills in the faint hope that combined into a single hero, they may give one of us the necessary edge to defeat Equinox.
Plastic Man : So, who gets the powers?
Aquaman : A battle royale against insurmountable odds? A clash of titans? My friends, the choice is clear.
Batman : Fate gets the powers. Only he has the discipline to control such a force.
Aquaman : I was going to say that.
Dr. Fate : On the contrary, Batman, my ways may be too rigid for this task, but your proclivity towards chaos is just what we need now.
Batman : Do it.
-
Equinox : To gain control of the pit's energies, one spirit in perfect balance must sacrifice another.
[blocking a blast from Dr. Fate]
Equinox : Arrogant, like your masters.
Dr. Fate : How?
Equinox : A matter of balance. An equal and opposite reaction.
Dr. Fate : You control the magics of chaos and order? Then you're...
[getting blasted]
Dr. Fate : Aah!
Equinox : Ah, ah, ah. No telling.
