- 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.
- Darkseid: I hope you appreciate, Kal-EL, that everything that happens from this point is on your head. The skies will rain fire, the oceans will boil, the streets will run red with the blood of billions. Only then, after your last pitiful hope is extinguished, will I end your life. Let's go!
- Metron: I will warn you final time: only a twelfth-level intellect has even the slightest hope of surviving what you are about to experience.
- Lex Luthor: Then I'm overqualified!
- Atomic Skull: Wait a minute, we helped you guys save the world. Don't we even get any consideration?
- [pause. Superman shrugs at Batman]
- Batman: You're right.
- [Everyone looks surprised]
- Batman: Five-minute head start.
- Atomic Skull: Five minutes? Are you kidding?
- Wonder Woman: Four minutes, fifty seconds...
- 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.
- Green Lantern: [looking at the giant drill] We gotta find a way to take this out for good!
- The Flash: Why don't you just throw it into the sun?
- [GL looks at him skeptically]
- The Flash: Yeah, I guess that was a pretty stupid idea.
- Green Lantern: No, maybe you're on to something. But I'll need more leverage... and a trench.
- The Flash: On it!
- [Flash digs a trench in a few seconds]
- The Flash: Now what?
- [GL creates a giant catapult]
- The Flash: Aw, cool!
- Green Lantern: [catapults the giant drill into the air] Doesn't look like it quite made escape-velocity.
- The Flash: Nope!
- [watching it land on an enemy ship]
- The Flash: Good effort, though.
- [as the Justice Leaguers leave to pursue the remaining Legion members, J'onn talks into a cell phone]
- J'onn J'onzz: I should be home in time for dinner. I love you, too.
- The Flash: These are the end times.
- [Batman, throwing Batarangs, and Luthor, with two pistols, are holding off Parademons]
- Lex Luthor: What's wrong?
- Batman: I'm out.
- Lex Luthor: [Lex offers Batman one of his guns] Here, take my extra.
- Batman: Not my style.
- Lex Luthor: Suit yourself. I plan to live through this.
- [while fighting Parademons over the Great Wall of China, Wonder Woman sees a portly Chinese man run toward them]
- Wonder Woman: Get away from here! It's not safe!
- Chinese Man: It's all right, I want to help!
- Wonder Woman: I appreciate your intent...
- [Parademons attack the man. He punches them away with ease]
- Wonder Woman: ...Hera!
- [the man shape-shifts into a huge Chinese dragon, swatting away swarms of Parademons, then hovers before Diana and transforms into...]
- Wonder Woman: J'onn!
- [hugs him]
- J'onn J'onzz: Good to see you too, Diana. I've got a lot to tell you about.
- Wonder Woman: We'll catch up later.
- J'onn J'onzz: [grins] Wouldn't miss it. First thing's first...
- 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: You destroyed Brainiac! I'm going to make you pay!
- Darkseid: Unlikely.
- [throws Luthor off the roof]
