Quotes 

• Brainiac : Welcome, Kal-El. Once, I offered you the chance to join me in carrying on the legacy of Krypton. Today, I renew that offer.

  Superman : You must be joking.

  Brainiac : Why do you reject your great heritage?

  [showing him pictures of Krypton, including Jor-El and Lara] 

  Brainiac : The entire history of your planet, its knowledge and splendor, its awe and mystery, are encoded within me.

  Hawkgirl : Superman, don't...

  Brainiac : [Superman holds up a hand to silence her]  I *am* Krypton.

  Superman : You're a perversion, dishonoring the very memory of my father and all my people.

  Brainiac : And this is your final decision?

  Superman : Read my lips: go to...

  Brainiac : Unfortunate... but predictable.

• Brainiac : You deceived me, Darkseid. Used me.

  Darkseid : It's what I do.

• Highfather : [after evacuating New Genesis]  How did you survive?

  Sera : He found us and hid us in his hive until the storm blew over.

  Highfather : [Forager steps forward]  You did this?

  Forager : [kneeling]  Forgive my presumption, Highfather.

  Highfather : No. Forgive me, for forgetting that everything has a purpose... and a place. Today, here at our side, you have found your place.

  J'onn J'onzz : [nearby with Hawkgirl]  Perhaps someday, you will find yours, as well.

  Hawkgirl : Someday.

• Brainiac : Darkseid, I calculate that this reaction will soon reach critical mass. If you don't release me, there will be no stopping it.

  Darkseid : Precisely.

  Hawkgirl : Then I guess it's up to us.

  [she strikes Darkseid with her mace] 

  Darkseid : Brainiac, stop them!

  Brainiac : I have no desire to save you, but I am compelled to obey.

• Darkseid : Remember the terms of our bargain. In exchange for Superman, you promised to spare my planet.

  Brainiac : Agreed.

  Darkseid : But I still can't fathom why you need him. Surely not for simple revenge.

  Brainiac : It is quite elementary. Observe.

  [restraining Superman in a metallic contraption] 

  Brainiac : Over the years, I have roamed the universe, collecting data. As my appetite grew, I changed and evolved into what you see today. From this central core, I can send countless drones to the farthest corners of the galaxy to gather more data for my collection, but it is not enough. I have reached the limits of my programmed functions. To evolve to the next level, I must extract living DNA from the last Kryptonian. Now I become a true life form, the likes of which this universe has never seen.

  [Darkseid surreptitiously plugs a device into the computer] 

  Brainiac : Wait. What have you done?

  Darkseid : Just a minor modification to override your control circuits. You are now the instrument of my will.

• Brainiac : It appears our stratagem was a success.

  Darkseid : Yes. As promised, I've delivered Superman into your hands.

• Hawkgirl : [smashing Brainiac to rubble]  Someone had to do it.

  Superman : No problem.

  Hawkgirl : Then it's over.

  Brainiac : [appearing in cloned bodies]  Again, you've miscalculated. It hasn't even begun.
