Quotes34

  • Lois Lane: We're so different. I was just some punk rock kid from Bakerline and you're... Superman.
  • Superman: I'm punk rock.
  • Lois Lane: [laughing] You are not punk rock.
  • Superman: I like the Strangle Fellows, the P.O.D.s, and the Mighty Crabjoys.
  • Lois Lane: Those are pop radio bands, they're not punk rock. The Mighty Crabjoys suck.
  • Superman: Ah, well, a lot of people love 'em.
  • Lois Lane: My point is I question everything and everyone. You trust everyone and think everyone you've ever met is, like... beautiful.
  • Superman: Maybe that's the real punk rock.
  • Lex Luthor: You piece of shit, alien!
  • Superman: That is where you've always been wrong about me, Lex. I am as human as anyone. I love, I-I get scared. I wake up every morning, and despite not knowing what to do, I put one foot in front of the other, and I try to make the best choices that I can. I screw up all the time, but that is being human, and that's my greatest strength. And someday, I hope, for the sake of the world, you understand that it's yours too.
  • Lex Luthor: Oh, that's beautiful. But none of this matters, you patronizing clown. The government gave me authority to kill you. If not today, then-
  • [gets attacked by Krypto]
  • Superman: The DOJ has a warrant out for my arrest, so I'm gonna turn myself in.
  • Lois Lane: Wait, what? Why?
  • Superman: Maybe they'll take me wherever they took the dog. I don't know how else to find him.
  • Lois Lane: It's a dog.
  • Superman: Yeah, and he's not even a very good one, but... he's out there alone. And he's probably scared.
  • Superman: You're driven by envy, Luthor. You couldn't be more obvious!
  • Lex Luthor: No shit, I'm not dim. I'm aware envy consumes my every waking moment. 13L.
  • [Ultraman blasts Superman in the eyes with his lasers]
  • Lex Luthor: I know when they mention Galileo or Einstein or one of these other twits in the same breath as me, I feel a tide of vomit burn the back of my throat! But at least Galileo did something. He wasn't some dopey Venusian catapulted onto this planet just to have the world fawn over him! Because his strength illuminates how WEAK we all really are! So, my envy is a calling! It is the sole hope for humanity, because it is what has driven me to annihilating you! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1A! 1! A!
  • Mr. Terrific: Hey! This ain't playtime! Quit messin' around! We have to get to Luthor to stop the rift.
  • Superman: I'm not messing around. I'm doing important stuff.
  • Superman: Hey, buddy. Eyes up here.
  • Gary: Sir?
  • Superman: [seeing Fortress of Solitude become a complete mess] What is this? Krypto!
  • [Krypto appears and drags Supes's cape by mouth]
  • Superman: What the hey, dude? I thought... you destroyed the whole...
  • [Turns to his robots]
  • Superman: Superman robots, I thought I told you to keep an eye on him!
  • Gary: We feed the canine, but he is unruly. And he realizes we are not flesh and blood and couldn't, in our heart of hearts, care less whether he lives or dies.
  • Superman: [last line, during post credits scene] Darn it, I can be such a jerk sometimes.
  • Superman: Krypto. Take me home.
  • Mr. Terrific: You brought that dog, man?
  • Superman: Yeah, I... I didn't want him killing my parents' cows.
  • Superman: [as the Justice Gang brutally fight the kaiju] Good gosh, there's gotta be a better way to do this!
  • Gary: [a drunken Kara Zor-El crashes into the Fortress of Solitude] Sir, I think your cousin has returned.
  • Superman: Yup...
  • Kara Zor-El: What the hell, dude? Why did you move the door?
  • Superman: I didn't move the door.
  • Kara Zor-El: And where is my dog?
  • Superman: [Krypto flies and pounces Kara as she laughs] Okay, well this is why he has behavioral issues.
  • Gary: No boundaries.
  • [Krypto keeps playing aggressively with Kara as she keeps laughing]
  • Gary: It's not healthy, is it?
  • Superman: [condescendingly] Mm-mm.
  • Lex Luthor: Just my Monkey-Bots here, farming outrage 24/7. Trashing you online.
  • Superman: [annoyed] Hashtag Supershit.
  • Lex Luthor: Superman, we finally meet. Would you like a coffee?
  • Superman: Where's the dog?
  • Lex Luthor: Dog?
  • Superman: The dog, Luthor! You took the dog!
  • Lex Luthor: [Eve records Superman on her phone] That's right, Eve. Get all of this.
  • [Superman flips Luthor's desk across the office against the window]
  • Superman: WHERE'S THE DOG?
  • Lex Luthor: I have no clue what you're talking about.
  • Superman: [pause; calms down] He's just a dog.
  • Lex Luthor: I don't know what dog you're talking about.
  • [holds his mug up to his mouth]
  • Lex Luthor: [muffled] Ugly dog in a cape?
  • Superman: What did you say?
  • Lex Luthor: Hmm? I didn't say anything.
  • Superman: [about Kara Zor-El] She likes to go and party on other planets. Planets with red suns.
  • Gary: Oh.
  • Superman: Because of our metabolism, we can't get drunk on a planet with a yellow sun.
  • Gary: If I had any emotional capacity whatsoever, I'd be concerned about her partying.
  • Superman: Yeah.
  • Lex Luthor: [Superman grins even as he's being beaten] Oh, what are you smirking at, you idiot?
  • Superman: Brain beats brawn.
  • [to Ultraman]
  • Superman: Sorry, chum.
  • [whistles for Krypto]
  • Lois Lane: You have a dog?
  • Superman: No, not really. It's more of a foster situation.
  • Lois Lane: [interviewing Superman] Did you consult with the President before entering Boravian airspace?
  • Superman: [sighs] No.
  • Lois Lane: The Secretary of Defense?
  • Superman: Nope.
  • Lois Lane: Or... any US official before you took matters into your own hands and decided unilaterally how to handle this extremely delicate situation?
  • Superman: Ghurkos and his goons were going to kill people!
  • Lois Lane: Yes, but the results of you seemingly acting as a representative of the United States will cause more problems around the world...
  • Superman: [talking over Lois] I wasn't representing anyone, except for me! And- and myself! And- and- and... good, I dunno, doing good!
  • Lois Lane: [continuing] more than a war that lasted between 12 and 24 hours and was just replacing one tyrannical regime with another!
  • Superman: Is that really how you feel?
  • Lois Lane: I'm not the one being interviewed, Superman! But I- I'd question it, yeah! I would question myself in the same situation, and hold off a beat and consider the consequences!
  • Superman: PEOPLE WERE GOING TO DIE!
  • Superman: I've been trying to figure out a way to get it out of here alive.
  • [pause]
  • Superman: Get it someplace where we can study it.
  • Mr. Terrific: Oh, come on, man.
  • Superman: What?
  • Mr. Terrific: [shouts] Go for its eyes!
  • Hawkgirl: [Shrieks and Shouts]
  • [creature grumbles]
  • Hawkgirl: My knee! Guy, help!
  • Guy Gardner: I made giant oven mitts!
  • Hawkgirl: Good for you, asshole! I'm getting blinked to death!
  • Raptor Guard: Kill him!
  • Superman: Good luck with that.
