Zack Snyder's Justice League Quotes

[Diana looks at a picture of Darkseid]

Lex Luthor: The bell's already been rung. And they've heard it... out in the dark, among the stars. Ding dong, the God is dead.

Barry Allen: This 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 Wayne: I don't care how many demons he's fought in how many hells. He's never fought us. Not us united.

Alfred Pennyworth: How do you know your team's strong enough? If you can't bring down the charging bull, then don't wave the red cape at it.

Bruce Wayne: You do when it's this red cape. This red cape charges back.

Wonder Woman: You said the age of heroes would never come again.

Bruce Wayne: It will. It has to.

The Joker: We live in a society, where honor is a distant memory. Isn't that right...

[reveals himself]

The Joker: ... Batman?

Steppenwolf: Amazons, I've come to bathe in your fear!

Queen Hippolyta: Daughters of Themyscira, show him your fear!

Amazons: WE HAVE NO FEAR!

Cyborg: I heard about you. Didn't think you were real.

Batman: I'm real when it's useful.

Steppenwolf: [to parademons] Hold! This one will be mine.

Wonder Woman: I belong to no one.

Darkseid: I 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!

Steppenwolf: It shall be so, my master.

Barry Allen: Wonder Woman... What do you think, man? You think she'd ever go for a younger guy?

Cyborg: She's 5,000 years old, Barry. Every guy's a younger guy.

Mera: [to Batman] Who have you ever loved?

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.

Batman: Be very careful with the next thing you say.

The Joker: Like 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?

Batman: That's not very careful.

The Joker: And how many dead eyes can you look into before you die inside yourself?

Batman: I'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 Joker: Before 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 Joker: Anyway, 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 Joker: I 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 Joker: A 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?

Batman: You 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.

Deathstroke: [Joker cackling in the background] Still think it was a good idea bringing him along?

Batman: What do you think?

Martian Manhunter: You 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.

Bruce Wayne: I hope so.

Martian Manhunter: Well, I'll be in touch. Oh, and some have called me the Martian Manhunter.

Bruce Wayne: "Mother Boxes"?

Wonder Woman: Indestructible living machines, made from a science so advanced, it looks like sorcery.

Steppenwolf: DeSaad. DeSaad! I call to thee.

[DeSaad appears in the wall of rock]

DeSaad: Steppenwolf, have you begun the conquest?

Steppenwolf: This 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.

DeSaad: The Mother Boxes?

Steppenwolf: I 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.

DeSaad: Yes. Mighty Steppenwolf, who might have sat here by the side of the great one. But undone by his self-pride.

Steppenwolf: DeSaad. I fall before you.

[kneels down to him]

Steppenwolf: Let me make a plea to him that I may come home after I take this world in his name.

DeSaad: You betrayed him. Your own family.

Steppenwolf: I saw my mistake. I slaughtered those who sought his throne.

DeSaad: You 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.

DeSaad: For Darkseid.

[vanishes in the rock of wall]

Steppenwolf: For Darkseid.

[after Steppenwolf put the another Mother Box in the wall of rock]

DeSaad: Steppenwolf, tell me what you've learned.

Steppenwolf: Two boxes found and awake. With the combined power of the two Mother Boxes, I've been able to finished the stronghold's defenses.

DeSaad: Where is the third Mother Box?

Steppenwolf: The parademons sense its presence and search the third. They have taken prisoners who carry its scent.

DeSaad: Go. Interrogate the prisoners. Find the third.

Steppenwolf: They will tell me what they know, or I will rip it from them.

DeSaad: [appears in the wall of rock] Have you finished the conquest?

Steppenwolf: Not yet, DeSaad.

DeSaad: Then why do you summon me?

Steppenwolf: I 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...

DeSaad: The story of the defiance is well-known.

Steppenwolf: I 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?

Steppenwolf: I have seen it. I have looked with my own eyes... of Anti-Life.

Barry Allen: What are your superpowers again?

Bruce Wayne: I'm rich.

[the Flash is trapped in the Speed Force]

The Flash: OK. Just gotta go faster than the speed of light - far beyond the speed of light. You gotta break the rule, Barry and you gotta do it now.

[starts to run]

The Flash: Dad, whatever happens now, I just want you to know: your kid was one of them, dad. One of the best of the best.

[runs]

The Flash: Make your own future. Make your own past. It's all... right... now.

DeSaad: I told you Steppenwolf would fail.

Darkseid: Yes. Yes, you did.

DeSaad: My master, now that the Mother Boxes have been destroyed, how will you retrive your great prize?

Darkseid: Anti-Life is found, DeSaad. And we will stop at nothing to possess it. Ready the armada. We will use the old ways.

[in a vision, Superman holds the bones of his loved ones]

Darkseid: [hand on Superman's shoulder] You have my respect.

Barry Allen: You have a satellite?

Bruce Wayne: I have six.

Diana Prince: A 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 Prince: As 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 Prince: The 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.

[message to his son]

Silas Stone: Now, 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.

Lois Lane: You spoke.

Superman: Did I not before?

Barry Allen: [Barry, indecisive about which cap to wear as part of his military disguise] Arthur, yes, your opinion. Less preposterous. Option 'A'?

Aquaman: Definetly not 'A'.

Barry Allen: Okay. Or... 'B'?

Aquaman: Let me see 'A' again?

Barry Allen: [indecisive about which cap to wear as part of his military disguise] Arthur, yes, your opinion. Less preposterous. Option 'A'?

Aquaman: Definetly not 'A'.

Barry Allen: Okay. Or... 'B'?

Aquaman: Let me see 'A' again?

Superman: How did you get the house back from the bank?

Bruce Wayne: I bought the bank.

[first lines]

Philippus: [Amazon warriors take arms and brace themselves as the Mother Box awakens] Alert the Queen!

Alfred Pennyworth: You'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 Wayne: Alfred, for once I'm operating strictly on faith, not reason.

[last lines]

Bruce Wayne: I guess, I'll see you around.

Cyborg: They're safe. Get back to the tunnel.

Barry Allen: Tunnel. Right. Aliens, bad guy, sword lady.
