Quotes

• Flash: (about J'onn) Is it just me, or does he creep everyone out?

• Superman: You shouldn’t have risked your lives for us.

J’onn: Would you have done less for me?

• Batman: I'm not really a people person. But when you need help... and you will, call me.

• (seeing their Headquarters)

Superman: Do your stockholders know about this, Bruce?

Batman: A line item hidden in the aerospace R&D budget.

• J'onn: My family and loved ones are long gone. I am the last of my kind.

Superman: I know the feeling.

Superman: More like a Justice League.
