Justice LeagueThese are taken from diverse sources. If you want clarification on any, let me know.
I'm including quotes from Batman: The Brave and the Bold here, because it's really more of a Justice League show than anything else.
Captain's Greatest JLA Lines
"Word to the wise: never trust anyone who has a Warmoon." -Mongul, _Batman: the Brave and the Bold_ Fanboy: I always felt Batman was best suited to the role of gritty urban crime detective, but now you guys have got him up against Santas, and Easter bunnies? I'm sorry, but that's not my Batman! Bat-Mite: [reading from a piece of paper.] "Batman's rich history allows him to be interpreted in a multitude of ways. To be sure, this is a lighter incarnation, but is certainly no less valid and true to the character's roots then the tortured avenger, crying out for mommy and daddy." And besides, those Easter bunnies looked really scary, right? _Batman: the Brave and the Bold_ Batman: I'm glad we could work together, Booster. Booster Gold: Wow! Batman: My thoughts exactly. _Batman: the Brave and the Bold_ Aquaman: What kind of medicine shall we proscribe, doc? Atom: You don't know what kind of doctor I am, do you? Aquaman: A hero doctor, through and through! _Batman: the Brave and the Bold_ Aquaman: Good boy. You were magnificent. Yes, big hug. Atom: He's not hugging you. "He" is merely interpreting as a foreign body to be surrounded and destroyed. Aquaman: Sure feels like a hug to me. _Batman: the Brave and the Bold_ "Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Because I'm seeing gorillas riding pterodactyls, with harpoon guns, stealing a boat." -Plastic Man, _Batman: The Brave and the Bold_ Doomsday: And I will kill you. Superman: Why? Doomsday: It's what I am. I don't care why. _Justice League_ ("The Doomsday Sanction") "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." -Lex Luthor, _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Destroyer") "Do you know how much power I'd have to give up to be president?" -Lex Luthor, _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Question Authority") "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. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am." -Superman, _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Destroyer") "If I'm not back in a month, see if you can get Superman to take my place." -Booster Gold, _Justice League International_ "Somewhere, somebody knows where I can find him. It's one of the truths of this business... there's always somebody who knows." -The Question, _Justice League Unlimited_ Lex: Did you really think you could take me down, all by yourself? Waller: Actually, yeah. But on the off chance I might have been wrong... _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Panic in the Sky") "Okay, bored now, goodbye." -The Question, _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Double Date") Captain Atom: Is it me or are the world conquerors getting mouthier? Superman: He's from Apokolips - they're all pretty chatty. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Question Authority") Hawkgirl: Can you even see what you're shooting at? Vigilante: Nope - just keepin' them honest. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Hunter's Moon") Superman: I can shut down Cadmus without killing Luthor. The Question: Carry on, then. If you're wrong, it's not like it's the end of the world. Right? _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Flashpoint") Green Arrow: You're not supposed to drive when you're angry. Black Canary: They're heading toward the waterfront. Hang on! Green Arrow: It's so funny that you think you have to tell me that. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Double Date") [Discussing Ollie.] Bruce: ...I guess I admire the part of him that's least like me. Admire and envy. Alfred: Remarkable self-knowledge for a nocturnal vigilante. Bruce: Hey, I do more than buckle swashes, you know... _The Ring, the Arrow and the Bat_ Supergirl: So, aren't you going to give me the "You did good" speech? Green Lantern: You're headstrong, unprofessional, and reckless. If you ever jeopardize yourself or your teammates again by running off half-cocked without a battle plan, I will personally see you're kicked out of the League. I don't care who your cousin is. And incidentally... you did good. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Initiation") "Now when I kill Superman, they'll build statues in my honor." -Lex, _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Panic in the Sky") Ollie: Hey, you never did say what your handle is when you're wearing the mask. Hal: Green Lantern. Ollie: Green... Lantern? Green Ring I could see. Beam Shooter Man, okay. Captain Middle Finger, even. But Green Lantern? _The Ring, the Arrow and the Bat_ "I don't trust him. But I believe him." -The Question, _Justice League Unlimited_ Wonder Woman: Circe! Be careful, she's - Batman: Yeah, I've read _The Odyssey_. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("This Little Piggy") Batman: You were a little hard on the boy scout, don't you think? Superman: I thought I was the boy scout? Batman: I did too, 'til I met Captain Marvel. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Clash") Batman: J'onn, we're in trouble! J'onn: Are you asking for help? Batman: Yes! J'onn: You never ask for help. _Justice League Unlimited_ Maxwell Lord: Let's talk about this like reasonable men. Batman: But I'm not a reasonable man. _Justice League_ "Your bravery is admirable, but annoying." -Amazo, _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Return") Deadshot: Tell me, Colonel - what's Waller got on you? Rick Flagg: Not a thing. Some of us don't have to be blackmailed into serving their country. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Task Force X") "And like you say... I've gone straight. Hurting my friends in the Justice League is the last thing on my mind. But if I did want to destroy my former enemies... and you can take this to the bank... I'd want them to know it was me." -Lex Luthor, _Justice League Unlimited_ Flash: [The Justice Lords] went overboard because their Flash died. So as long as you all focus on keeping me alive, that'll never happen here. J'onn: Lets put a pin in that theory to explore another time. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Doomsday Sanction") Justice: Thank you Medusa. And know you've earned 300 years off your sentence. Medusa: Freedom in 4010, ring a ding ding. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("This Little Piggy") Ralph: The difference between us, Booster, is that I only act like an idiot. L-Ron: And a marvelous piece of acting it is! _JLA Classified: I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League_ Supergirl: A barber shop? Steel: Got to hand it to you, Luthor, nobody would think to look for you here. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Return") Max: No problems were ever solved with a punch in the face. Sue: Oh, please! All our problems are solved with a punch in the face! _JLA Classified: I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League_ [watching a club entrance from a rooftop.] Wonder Woman: Don't you ever wish you were down there? Batman: I'm down there all I need to be. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("This Little Piggy") "What are you guys? Twelve? I can't believe I'm the mature one here!" -the Flash, _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Ties That Bind") "Batman to all points. I could use some air support. Since I can't fly. At all. [Pause. Still falling.] Now would be good." _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Dark Heart") Amazo: I did not destroy Oa - I simply moved it to another dimension. [Pause. No one says anything.] Amazo: It was in my way. Jon Stewart: Then could you move it back? _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Return") B'wana Beast: How you doing? Zatanna: My legs are fine, as is the rest of me. Up here? B'wana Beast: Whoah, she's got the fire of the cheetah in her! Growl! Zatanna [to Batman]: Why are you doing this to me? _Justice League Unlimited_ ("This Little Piggy") the Flash: Not that I mind the exercise, but couldn't your boob tube have transported us closer? Big Barda: That's 'boom tube'! _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Ties That Bind") Elongated Man: 'We don't need two stretchy guys.' This is so not fair. I realize Plastic Guy is in the League too, I'm not dissing that guy. But one day I disguised myself as a vase for three days. Booster Gold: No you didn't. Elongated Man: Okay, maybe not. Who'd want to anyway? But I am a detective, so I'm like Plastic Man and Batman rolled into one. Booster Gold: Is there any chance you could stop complaining for five minutes? _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Greatest Story Never Told") Atom: He's bigger then my car now, Katie. Personally I blame you. Katie: How can it possibly be my fault? Atom: Because otherwise it would be my fault. That can't be right - I'm a professor. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Dark Heart") "I'm going to lay here for a while, Katie. I'm old now, and I get tired." -the Atom, _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Dark Heart") Batman: Ever flown one of these before? Squire: A flying saucer? Yeah, every day, right... There's killer jet apes right behind us. _JLA: Classified_ "I'm opening the sci-fi closet, Alfred." -Batman, _JLA: Classified_ [Batman puts his hand on Flash's shoulder.] Flash: You're touching me. Batman is touching me. I'm going to die, aren't I? Batman: Not if you pay close attention. _Justice League_ [Krypto takes on some White Martians.] Green Lantern: He has a dog. Plastic Man: With heat vision. Flash: Cool. _Justice League_ Green Lantern: What the devil is going on? Dr. Fate: Lex Luthor is saving the world. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Return") Young Boy: Thank you, Green Lantern. Booster Gold: I'm not Green Lantern! I'm Booster Gold! If I were Green Lantern, my costume would be green, now wouldn't it?! I have officially hit rock bottom. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Greatest Story Never Told") Green Arrow: Does everything have a sinister motive in your world? The Question: Yours too. You just don't know it. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Fearful Symmetry") Wonder Woman: No, no dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time. Batman: One - dating within the team always leads to disaster. Two - you're a princess from a society of immortal warriors, I'm a rich kid with issues - lots of issues. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("This Little Piggy") Flash: You mean she was a spy? Cool! Green Lantern: She was spying on us. Flash: Oh, yeah. Huh. _Justice League_ ("Starcrossed") Flash: Hey kids! Santa-Flash is back! Along with my special helper, Freaky Snowman! Ultra-Humanite: Just give them the toy and take me to jail. _Justice League_ ("Comfort and Joy") Martian Manhunter: It's the only way. Dr. Fate: Those words are always used to justify destruction. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Return") Booster Gold: This is my big chance. If I can take down this... Mumu... Skeets: Mordru. Booster Gold: Whatever. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Greatest Story Never Told") The Atom: I told you we'd beat him. Lex Luthor: What do you mean, 'we'? _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Return") Booster Gold: I was thinking I'd take point. Batman: Crowd control. Booster Gold: Crowd control. Who says you don't have a sense of humor? Batman: Crowd. Control. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("The Greatest Story Never Told") Supergirl: What, do you go through my trash? The Question: Please. I go through everyone's trash. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Fearful Symmetry") Green Arrow: Don't listen to this guy; everything's conspiracies with him. The Question: Not 'conspiracies.' 'Conspiracy.' Singular. _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Fearful Symmetry") "Diana, you and I have both been affected by our time among humans. It's important that we keep ourselves in check." -Martian Manhunter, _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Hawk and Dove") "I didn't give you the Annihilator so you could 'run them out of town,' I gave you the Annihilator so you could ANNIHILATE them!" -Ares, _Justice League Unlimited_ ("Hawk and Dove") "...I never thought I'd ever wear this get-up again. But, even though it reminds me of my mistakes, it also reminds me - of my obligations. Of what I believe. Besides, somebody's got to keep the JLA from becoming bag men for corporate-sponsored moral fascism." -Green Arrow, _Legend of the DC Universe: Critical Mass_ [The Flash catches a bad guy easily.] "The JLA files are jammed with hundreds of cases closed in an eyeblink." -Snapper Carr, _Legend of the DC Universe: Critical Mass_ Superman: There's got to be a way. Batman: Not always. Sometimes a burning bush is just a camp fire. Superman: Which means exactly what? Batman: Which means even you can't save everybody, Superman - the sooner you accept that, the more sense the world makes. _Legend of the DC Universe: Critical Mass_ Batman: I cannot accept that any one event writes the future in stone. Phantom Stranger: Can't you? Spaceships crash. Lightning strikes. Planets die. Single events occur, and everything changes. _Justice League Adventures_ "This was the stuff. The things that took your breath away. I mean, I'm sure it must have occurred to Green Arrow that he was falling to his death - but it was a secondary consideration... They were heroes. A team. Family." -Snapper Carr, _Legend of the DC Universe: Critical Mass_ "Uh-oh. Scary guy in a cloak. Never a good sign." -Flash, _Justice League Adeventures_ Static: Mixmaster Brainiac. Now that's phat! Martian Manhunter: Yes, very phat indeed. _Static Shock_ "I don't believe in coincidence." -Batman, _Justice League_ ("Starcrossed") "We're bigger than all of space put together, son... because space is empty and we've got soul." _Justice League Adventures_ #24 Clayface: Remember those old spy movies I used to act in? Where the villian would catch the hero, but wouldn't kill him. And then the hero would always get away? Gorilla Grodd: I'm not much of a movie-goer. _Justice League_ ("Secret Society") "Much as I hate to miss any of Batman's whoopin'..." -the Joker, _Justice League_ ("Wild Cards") "The suspense is killing me! Of course, it's going to be the explosions killing them." -the Joker, _Justice League_ ("Wild Cards") "Look buddy, I know Batman. I once ratted out a counterfeiter to Batman. And believe me, you are no Batman." -a thug, being threatened by the Flash, _Justice League_ ("Secret Society") "Hmmm, your story sounds a little derivative." -Green Lantern, _Justice League_ ("Hearts and Minds") Shade: Trying to get them to trust each other, huh? Gorilla Grodd: Not the easiest thing for loners, sociopaths, and psychos. Imagine the childhoods they must have had... _Justice League_ ("Secret Society") "Oooh. Medical drama. Life and death stakes! Compelling human conflict! _Ratings._" -the Joker, _Justice League_ ("Wild Cards") "Well, what do you know? GL's a neatnik." -the Flash, _Justice League_ ("Hearts and Minds") Green Lantern: Grodd's been messing with our minds. the Flash: How do we fight it? Green Lantern: We get over it, that's how. _Justice League_ ("Secret Society") Parasite: Why didn't you let us finish them? Gorilla Grodd: In a warehouse? That's far too small a stage. _Justice League_ ("Secret Society") Brainiac: Kal-El. What brings you so far from your adopted home? Superman: I'm here to end you. _Justice League_ ("Twillight") "I'm not afraid of you. I know what it's like to frighten other people. That's why I'm not afraid of you. I'm the only one." -Ace, _Justice League_ ("Wild Cards") [After taking away the Weather Wizard's wand.] "Maybe you should get a strap for this." -Batman, _Justice League_ ("Hereafter") "Well then. We've saved the day. Can we go home now?" -the Flash, _Justice League_ ("Hearts and Minds") Gorilla Grodd: You're a master criminal, Shade. But you could be a master of the world. Shade: I've tried. I'll settle for where I am now. Gorilla Grodd: How are you going to feel in ten years? When you're still being chased around warehouses and rooftops, joints aching, lungs burning. _Justice League_ ("Secret Society") [narrating] "Will Green Lantern ever admit to his feelings? Will Hawkgirl ever stop sublimating her passions with that BIG HONKIN' MACE? Will true love conquer all? Not on my show!" -the Joker, _Justice League_ ("Wild Cards") [Walking out of teamwork training.] "Call me when it's important. And not before." -Batman, _Justice League_ ("Secret Society") "You're breaking an old man's heart, kids! Stand up to them, like I would. If I were there. And if I had super powers. And, uh... Oh, for pete's sake, go back there and beat on them!" -the Joker, _Justice League_ ("Wild Cards") "He was teacher's pet? Go GL!" -the Flash, _Justice League_ ("Hearts and Minds") [during trust exercises] Giganta: I don't think this is such a good idea... Killer Frost: Don't be such a girl. _Justice League_ ("Secret Society") "People here are so scared they're even willing to go to Los Angeles!" -Harley Quinn, _Justice League_ ("Wild Cards") [Wonder Woman blocks a lightning bolt with her bracelets.] "There's so many reasons why that shouldn't have worked." -the Flash, _Justice League_ ("Hereafter") "Do they even *have* banks on Thanagar?" -Green Lantern, _Justice League_ ("Wild Cards") Volcana: That's your flamethrower? Firebug: Wait till you see how I use it. _Justice League_ Bruce Timm: He's one of those weird secondary DC villains that James [Tucker] just loves. James Tucker: I loooooooove Copperhead. _Justice League_ panel, 2001 San Diego Comic Con [The Injustice Gang moves out of the shadows.] Clayface: You didn't think I'd come here without reinforcements, didja? Batman: Wish I'd thought of that. [The rest of the Justice League break down the door.] Batman: Oh, wait. I did. _Justice League_ ("Secret Society") Wonder Woman: Hera, give me strength! Hawkgirl: Do you have to say that all the time?! _Justice League_ "You're a raving lunatic. Not to say you weren't fun to go clubbing with..." -Princess Audrey, _Justice League_ ("Maid of Honor") Princess Audrey: That was wonderful! I never saw anyone break a helicopter before. Wonder Woman: It was my first time. _Justice League_, -"Maid of Honor" "I can still pull my weight, you know. There's more to me than just a fancy ring." -Green Lantern, _Justice League_ ("Hearts and Minds") Hawkgirl: What about the others? J'onn: Superman is handling an earthquake. Wonder Woman is on another case. And Batman would only say that he's busy. _Justice League_ Wonder Woman: I'm not sure I believe you, Mr. Savage. Vandal Savage: I'm not sure I care. _Justice League_ ("Maid of Honor") The Flash: Yeah, fastest man alive! Hawkgirl: Which might explain why you can't get a date. _Justice League_ "Et tu, Humanite?" -Lex Luthor, _Justice League_ ("Injustice for All") Green Lantern: I'm supposed to believe this? Flash: Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on speed dial, I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt. [...later...] Green Lantern: OK, the ape _can_ talk. _Justice League_ "There is a right and a wrong in the universe, and that distinction is not hard to make." _JLA: Gods and Monsters_ Flash: Hey, cookie! Hawkgirl: One word from you, and you'll be the fastest man alive - with a limp. _Justice League_ ("Legends") "So, you fight crime *and* bake cookies. How do you do it?" -Hawkgirl _Justice League_ ("Legends") "That's it. I officially want to go home." -The Flash, _Justice League_ ("Legends") "This program was made possible by a grant from the Ultra-Humanite and viewers like you." -PBS announcer, _Justice League_ ("Injustice for All") "Uh... what's a Shaggy Man and am I old enough to know?" -Green Lantern, _JLA: Justice for All_ "Thanks for the ride. It's nice to just relax at Mach 5 for once. Sorry about my boots, Wonder Woman. But they always smell that way." -the Flash, _JLA: Justice for All_ "'No hard feelings, Bill' says Superman and he shakes Marvel's hand. I'm never going to be that kind of good guy, am I?" -Plastic Man, _JLA: Justice for All_ "Well, now we know why Batman sent Orion." _JLA: Justice for All_ "You taught Batman to box... Can you teach me to stay sane around superheroes?" -Huntress, _JLA: Justice for All_ Green Lantern: What could I possibly know that [Hal] didn't know? Sandman: Fear. You will surpass him. "No, no! Stupid Martians! We call it 'freeze tag' because..." -Plastic Man, _JLA: Justice for All_ "Man, it's when I hear guys say crazy stuff like that, I remember why I love this job." -Green Lantern, _JLA: Justice for All_ "Holey moley. First time I've ever seen anyone scared of a derby hat." -Captain Marvel, _JLA: Justice for All_ "I've only let myself see them as heroes. I forgot they are also human... maybe because humans fail and we can't afford for these people to fail." _JLA: Incarnations_ "We've been studying these people for some time, sir. The JLA are civilians. My men are Marine Corps. You watch." -General Eiling, _JLA: Justice for All_ "I'm grateful because I got a chance to glimpse the people under the masks, to know they're real flesh and blood, to know why they're heroes. Maybe someday I can be a hero too." _JLA: Incarnations_ "No, I *don't* want to know why they call you 'Eel,' Mister O'Brian." -Power Girl, _JLA: Justice for All_ "This is the most tasteless ventriloquist act I ever saw." -Plastic Man, _JLA: Justice for All_ "I've never made a secret of how I've felt about these people. Every time I see them, something swells up in my soul. They have always been special to me. But not like that moment. I saw them more clearly as people and, oddly enough, it made me see them more clearly as heroes." _JLA: Incarnations_ "Sarcasm is *so* lost on you." -The Flash (to Wonder Woman,) _JLA: Tower of Babel_ Wonder Woman: Race you. Flash: (pause) You're on. Wonder Woman: I warn you, the gods granted me the speed of Mercury. Flash: I'm sorry, I thought you were *fast.* _JLA: Tower of Babel_ "Note to self: in the JLA, there's no such thing as a rhetorical question." -Plastic Man, _JLA: Tower of Babel_ "Dude, I thought they'd never leave." _JLA: World War III_ Green Lantern: Doctor Destiny? the Flash: Lightweight. Ten minutes tops. _JLA: World War III_ "And I feel guilty when I take paperclips from the Watchtower." -the Flash, _Justice League_ "That's not going to happen. You see, I run a very large country - chock-full of advanced magicians and technologists - and we have what is widely acknowledged as the fiercest military on Earth. These things are not reaching New York." -Aquaman, _JLA: Gods and Monsters_ Green Lantern: Well, sorry you're cooped up... 'cause a day like this'll convince you there's a God. Flash: You did meet Zauriel, right? _JLA: Gods and Monsters_ "...for They shall come to my aid, with the Speed of a Bullet..." _JLA: Gods and Monsters_ "Of course, we can't even call them 'Rocket Reds' anymore..." _JLA: Gods and Monsters_ "Is it my imagination or is Batman chewing out the Man of Steel?" -Green Lantern, _JLA: Incarnations_ "Superman? No. I mean, how do you yell at Superman, for crying out loud? It'd be like spitting on the flag or something." -Barry Alllen, _JLA: Incarnations_ "Only time I see people like you down here is when we got giant dinosaurs! Where are you the rest of the time!" _JLA: Incarnations_ "Maybe you're right, Hal. Trick arrows, straight arrows, all this running around in tights and a mask - what good have I really done? The world doesn't seem any better. These days I don't know if I'm Robin Hood or Don Quixote." -Green Arrow, _JLA: Incarnations_ "I know I have that effect on people. Thing is, just because it's me saying it doesn't make it wrong." -Green Arrow, _JLA: Incarnations_ "Every time I see the Earth from up here, I'm struck by how fragile it is. It's easier to think of it as a world and not seperate countries. To remember that we're all one people. For me, seeing Earth from space keeps everything in context." -Superman, _JLA: Incarnations_ "We're the end products of our childhood, Clark. Makes you wonder what would have happened if our roles were reversed." -Batman, _Secret Origins of the JLA_ "In honor of his uncle, Wally maintained the momentum... and adopted the Flash name and costume. It was easier to be him... than to lose him." _Secret Origins of the JLA_ "Green Lantern, it's a different thing than Batman or Superman. Maybe they get more headlines. But with Green Lantern, a regular guy - you or me or whoever - can be part of it. Right place, right time. And that's what makes it special." _Secret Origins of the JLA_ "What is it with supervillians nowadays? What happened to crazy jewel heists and dumb traps? Now they murder your girlfriend and stuff her in your fridge for kicks. The old Green Lantern had it easy." -Green Lantern, _JLA: New World Order_ Wonder Woman: What a strange question. Why should anyone know how long they can hold their breath? Batman: Three minutes fifteen seconds. You'd be surprised why. _JLA: New World Order_ I KNOW YOUR SECRET. -note pinned to A-Mortal, fallen member of the Hyperclan, _JLA: New World Order_ "Batman! He's only a man!" -Protex of the Hyperclan, _JLA: New World Order_ "I'm your worst nightmare, pal. A manga nut with a power ring." _JLA: New World Order_ "Invisibility's a nice trick, Primaid, but here's a word of advice. Next time, hold your breath." -Superman, _JLA: New World Order_ "Kiss my ring, buddy." -Green Lantern, _JLA: New World Order_ Superman: But you don't like this, do you? You don't like working with... with superpeople. Batman: I don't have speed or invulnerability. I can't risk wearing a bright costume that makes me a target and I can't afford to trust poorly trained people who do. Present company excepted. _JLA: New World Order_ Batman: I've been here for an hour. Superman: Strange. I didn't hear your heartbeat. Batman: (Gadget worked.) _JLA: New World Order_ "Yeah. Maybe all we want are some superpeople who don't just spend their days pounding the stuffing out of one another." _JLA: New World Order_ "He thinks green thoughts. And his thoughts become things. Working the ring is like giving up cigarettes. He feels like a sixty-a-day man." _JLA: New World Order_ "Forget it, Aquaman. Sometimes those one-liners can just disappear right out from under you." -The Flash, _JLA: New World Order_ Superman: How does Batman manage to make his own rules? Flash: By being cold and hard to know. You're Superman: you couldn't act like that if you rehearsed. _JLA: American Dreams_ "Your grammar is impeccable, Wonder Woman." -Martian Manhunter, _JLA: American Dreams_ "This is the guy who said he couldn't live up to his myth. He's wrestling an angel..." -The Flash, _JLA: American Dreams_ "People always talk of the sixth sense... They have no idea! I am currently in possession of eleven senses and counting..." -The Key, _JLA: American Dreams_ "A lost city? Haven't we found them all by now?" -Superman, _JLA: Seven Caskets_ "Arthur may have a point. We have no idea what's down there. It's been dormant for millions of years. Poking it with a stick is hardly much of a plan." -Wonder Woman, _JLA: Seven Caskets_ "Diana... we can't save the world. It's not even our job. You set limits. You do what you do. You make peace with yourself and you sleep at night. This is a concept most people who fly never learn." -Batman, "The 18th Letter," _Legends of the DC Universe_ "I realize that every time I put on Clark Kent's glasses and relax for a moment, somewhere on this planet hundred if not thousands of people die. I'm not a god. I'm only one man. I've made peace with that." -Superman, "The 18th Letter," _Legends of the DC Universe_ "And then, for a moment, there is a deep silence. The eye of the hurricane has arrived. He stands at the center of the storm. This is his battlefield. He is the Centurian, and this is his final war." _JLA: The Century War_ "Diana... I've wanted to stop every war since I was a boy. I've wanted to save everyone from everything." -Superman, "The 18th Letter," _Legends of the DC Universe_ "Oh, stop posturing, Arthur. 'The sea is my responsibility.' What a ridiculous thing to say." -Wonder Woman, _JLA: New World Order_ Aquaman: Leave it alone, Superman. You don't know what you're tampering with. Superman: Arthur, I could say the same for you right now. _JLA: Seven Caskets_ "We hear just fine, kids... just quit with the snakes." -The Flash, _JLA: Seven Caskets_ "They always win, you see. The Justice League. They always win. That was the key to it." -The Key, _JLA: American Dreams_ "Every time I had to throw a punch in the name of peace, I feel as if I'd failed." -Superman, _JLA: Superpower_ "...and later, when it's all over, I ask Superman how he managed to do what he did. He smiles and it's that one smile he has, the one that reminds you he's not really from here. 'There were larger forces at work today, Wally,' he says. Go figure." -The Flash, _JLA: American Dreams_ Aquaman: Impossible. Steel: I built this armor in my basement. You breathe water. We're eating pork rinds on the moon. Aquaman: Point taken. _Justice League of America_ Superman: I worry because everyone seems to look up to me and it's making me a little uncomfortable. I can try but I can't solve every problem. I don't know if I can live up to this... myth they want me to be. Flash: ...And the real issue is that no matter how you feel or who you think you are, most people can't see past that "S" and what it represents. Including you. _JLA: American Dreams_
