- Wonder Woman: This isn't the Watchtower.
- Batman: No, it isn't. It's an emergency bunker 12 miles away. Part of my contingency plans.
- Superman: Which you were going to tell us about when?
- Batman: When necessary.
- Darkseid: Brainiac is no more. Tremble before the power of...
- Superman: [surprisingly shocked] Darkseid!
- Darkseid: Greetings, Superman.
- Batman: You tricked Brainiac into freeing you from your extra-dimensional prison.
- Darkseid: I promised him he would unleash power beyond imagining. I fulfilled our bargain. To the letter.
- Zatanna: Yeah, and he was also promised great knowledge.
- Darkseid: And I delivered. What higher lesson is there than is this: Never trust Darkseid.
- Superman: Get off my planet... monster!
- Darkseid: Normally a threat from you is worth considering, but with both the Mother Box and Sensory Matrix Field Generator at my command, I'd rather think you should get off my planet.
- Brainiac: A gift in return for a small favor I require.
- Gorilla Grodd: Fool! With this helmet, your will is mine. Free me!
- Brainiac: Say "please".
- The Key: [opens portal] The vacuum of space!
- Green Lantern: I'm a member of the Green Lantern Corp, mister. Responsible for over 8,000 inhabited planets in my jurisdiction. Been there, done that.
- Batman: You get the feeling we're being led right where they want us to go.
- Superman: Like lambs to a slaughter.
- Batman: Not exactly.
- [door slides open]
- Brainiac: Greetings, Superman, Batman. The display of skill and power it took to get this far is impressive. If not all together, unexpected.
- Superman: Brainiac! I was wondering when you would finally show your face. What are you doing here?
- Brainiac: That should be obvious. Destroying you.
- Brainiac: I've listened to your telepathic whispers. I've done what you've asked. Reveal your secrets to me, stone. Give me the power you promised.
- Darkseid: You know well that your labors are far from complete, Brainiac. You'll get your reward when everything is done. Not before.
- Brainiac: As you say. My master plan continues to unfold. It's just a matter of time now.
- Wonder Woman: I don't know how, but you've been misled. If those missiles launch, they could kill millions.
- Killer Frost: And?
- Zatanna: She's a whack job, Diana. No point trying to talk her out of it.
- Killer Frost: She's right. I'm criminally insane. Want to see my note from the doctor?
- Zatanna: No. But if you don't step aside, I'm putting you in the hospital.
- Killer Frost: Funny! I see what you did there. You should get off a good one-liner before you die.
- Superman: Several sets of doors. Each two feet thick, and made of pure Osmium. The densest metal on Earth.
- Wonder Woman: The rest of the League will be here any second. You need to tell me how you plan to get them open.
- Superman: Pretty simple, actually. I'm going to "knock".
- Batman: You ready to talk to us again?
- Superman: Sure. If by talk, you mean kicking Darkseid's ass into low orbit.
- Batman: Then I think we can do business.
- Martian Manhunter: What's the plan?
- Batman: We attack in waves. Minimize the chance of us all being defeated at once.
- Flash: Once we're committed, we don't stop until it's over. One way or the other.
- Superman: Only one way: Darkseid's going down.
- Darkseid: You can't control me, you can't destroy me, and there is no prison in the universe that can hold me.
- Wonder Woman: I don't believe you're telling me the truth.
- [wraps her lasso around Darkseid]
- Wonder Woman: You know the power of my magic lasso. No one bound by it can tell a lie.
- Darkseid: If I were free, I'd tear you limb from limb.
- Zatanna: I believe him.
