Barry AllenThis guy's probably fought hundreds of thousands of other super beings on the other planets he's destroyed, right? And we have to assume he's won.
Bruce WayneI don't care how many demons he's fought in how many hells. He's never fought us. Not us united.

BatmanI've been dead inside a long time, but even I have a limit. And if you cross that line, I swear to God, I will...
The JokerBefore what, Bruce? Kill me? You won't kill me. I'm your best friend. Besides, who's gonna give you a reach-around?
[chuckles]
The JokerAnyway, you need me. You need me to help you undo this world you created by letting her die. Poor Lois. How she suffered so!
[sighs]
The JokerI often wonder, how many alternate timelines do you destroy the world because, frankly, you don't have the cojones to die yourself. Hmm? So, as usual, I'll be the bigger man.
[reveals Joker card]
The JokerA truce, Bruce. As long as you have this card, a truce. But all you have to do is tear it in half and I'm happy to discuss with you in any way you like, why you sent the Boy Wonder to do a man's job?
BatmanYou know, it's funny that you would talk about the people who died in my arms, because when I held Harley Quinn and she was bleeding and dying, she begged me with her last breath that when I killed you, and make no mistake, I will fucking kill you, that I'd do it slow. I'm gonna honor that promise.
The Joker[long pause]Oh. You're good. You almost had me.

Barry AllenWonder Woman... What do you think, man? You think she'd ever go for a younger guy?
CyborgShe's 5,000 years old, Barry. Every guy's a younger guy.
The Joker[laughs]Au contraire, my little fish stick. He knows exactly what it's like to lose someone he loves. You know, like, a father. Like a mother.
BatmanBe very careful with the next thing you say.
The JokerLike an adopted son. Isn't that right, Batman? Maybe, in a way, that smelly old flounder is right. Because how many can die in your arms before you grow numb to death?
Martian ManhunterYou know, I never thought I'd see the defenders of Earth united, fighting as one. It wouldn't have happened without you, Bruce. Your mother and father would be proud.
Martian ManhunterWell, I'll be in touch. Oh, and some have called me the Martian Manhunter.

[message to his son]
Silas StoneNow, let me speak to you from my heart. Not as a scientist, as a father. Huh, your father twice over. I brought you into the world and back to it. You can't imagine how proud I am, of who you are, have always been. So many years with you I've wasted, so many wrongs I've left un-righted. Everything breaks, Victor. Everything changes. The world is hurt, broken, unexchageable. The world's not fixed in the past, only the future. The not yet. The now. The now is you. Now, now is your time, Victor. To rise. Do this, be this, the man I never was, the hero that you are. Take your place among the brave ones. The ones that were, that are, that have yet to be. It's time you stand, fight... discover... heal, love, win. The time is now.

DarkseidYes. Yes, you did.
DeSaadMy master, now that the Mother Boxes have been destroyed, how will you retrive your great prize?
DarkseidAnti-Life is found, DeSaad. And we will stop at nothing to possess it. Ready the armada. We will use the old ways.

Jor-ElThe symbol of the house of El means hope. Embodied within that hope is the fundamental belief in the potential of every person to be a force for good. That's what you can bring them. You will give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will stumble, they will fall. They will join you in the sun, Kal. You will help them accomplish wonders. All the hopes and dreams of Krypton live in you now. Your mother and I loved you. Your heart was tested. But you gave hope to their world. Love them, Kal. The way we loved you.

Wonder WomanYou said the age of heroes would never come again.
Jonathan KentClark... you were sent here for a reason. And even if it takes you the rest of your life, you owe it to yourself to find out what that reason is. You're gonna have to make a choice. A choice of whether to stand proud in front of the human race or not. I'm so proud of you, son. Your mother and I knew you would change the world. I know it's been hard, Clark. You need to show them who you are. Fly, son. It's time.

Diana PrinceA great armada appeared in the sky, laying waste to all who opposed it. The leader of the invasion was a being called Darkseid. A name cursed and feared in every universe. Darkseid was met in battle by Earth's defenders: the Old Gods, men, Atlanteans before their descent into the sea, Amazons before their betrayal and enslavement, and guardians from the stars. Their histories had taught them not to trust each other, not to hope for an alliance, to fight apart.
Diana PrinceAs Darkseid waged war on Earth, he found a secret there. A power hidden in the infinity of space. He called forth mystics who worshipped and controlled three objects: the Motherb Bpxes, indestructible living machines made from a science so advanced, it looks like sorcery. To conquer, three Mother Boxes have to join and synchronize into the Unity. The Unity cleanses a planet with fire, transforming it into a copy of the enemy's world. All who live become servants of Darkseid, alive but drained of life: parademons. But before the Unity could synchronize, the defenders of Earth fought and attacked as one. Amazons alongside Atlanteans, Zeus and his son Ares alongside the guardians from the sky. A golden age of heroes fighting together to defend life on Earth. They did what no world had ever done: sent the enemies back into the stars.
Diana PrinceThe three Mother Boxes never synchronized. The Unity never came to pass. But in their retreat, the Boxes were left behind on Earth. They grew weak: dogs without masters falling asleep, awaiting their return. Falling from the view of the enemy, anonymous among a trillion worlds. The defenders of Earth made a vow: Men, Atlanteans and Amazons, each would enshrine and guard one of the three sleeping Mother Boxes according to the rites and rituals of their cultures, in case a Box should ever wake again to call out to the planet Apokolips to return and conquer the only world Darkseid had ever lost.

DarkseidI have turned one hundred thousand worlds to dust looking for Anti-Life; looking for those who robbed me of my glory. I will stride across their bones and bask in the glow of Anti-Life, and all of existence shall be mine!
SteppenwolfI bring news. Before mighty Darkseid came to the throne, he searched the universe for the ultimate weapon. The Anti-Life Equation. The key to controlling all life and all will throughout the multiverse. He found it hidden on a primitive planet, but before...
DeSaadThe story of the defiance is well-known.
SteppenwolfI have found the primitive planet. The world that fought back. It is Earth. The Anti-Life Equation is carved into the surface of this very world.
DeSaad[snarls]Are you certain?
SteppenwolfI have seen it. I have looked with my own eyes... of Anti-Life.

Steppenwolf[to Darkseid]My lord... this world will fall.
SteppenwolfThis world is divided. They are a primitive species. Unevolved and at war with one another. Too separate to be one. Their free will must be ripped from them, like the other worlds. Given absolution in one glorious belief, to serve him.
DeSaadThe Mother Boxes?
SteppenwolfI have found one of the three. The one that woke and called to me. The other two still sleep, but the parademons feel their presence. They fly, they search, they take prisoners who carry the scent, while I build a stronghold in the name of his glory.
DeSaadYes. Mighty Steppenwolf, who might have sat here by the side of the great one. But undone by his self-pride.
SteppenwolfLet me make a plea to him that I may come home after I take this world in his name.
DeSaadYou betrayed him. Your own family.
SteppenwolfI saw my mistake. I slaughtered those who sought his throne.
DeSaadYou still owe the great one 50,000 more worlds. He will hear your plea when you pay your debt.
Steppenwolf[stands up]The Mother Boxes will be found and united. No protectors here. No Lanterns, no Kryptonian. This world will fall, like all the others.
Alfred PennyworthYou've fulfilled your promise. But to try to do that... I mean, your guilt's overcome your reason. Not all the king's horses and all the king's men...
Bruce WayneAlfred, for once I'm operating strictly on faith, not reason.
