Justice League: Doom (2012 Video)

Carl Lumbly: Martian Manhunter, Ma'alefa'ak

Quotes 

• The Flash : Batman, you okay?

  Batman : I'll live.

  Superman : So will Ace, apparently.

  Martian Manhunter : He's still a little embarrassed from last time.

  Superman : He sucker-punched me.

• Vandal Savage : Eighty-thousand years ago, I was living in what is now the island of Sumatra. One night, the sky lit up with streaks of fire. Meteors. But my primitive mind thought the stars were falling from the sky. One meteor fell to Earth in my valley. My compatriots ran, but it was very cold and the glowing stone was warm. I slept there bathed in the meteor's strange radiations. And when I awoke the next morning, I was forever changed. The radiation mutated me, evolving me. I was instantly aware of my increased intelligence. It was only with the passage of time that I discovered the rest of my gift. So far as I know, I cannot die.

  Cheetah : Is that a fact?

  Vandal Savage : Go ahead.

  Mirror Master : [Cheetah slashes Vandal's throat]  Why'd you do that?

  Cheetah : Don't you realize what he's planned? In his new world our money doesn't matter.

  Vandal Savage : You are correct. Money won't matter. It's trivial in the long run.

  [smacks Cheetah] 

  Vandal Savage : Let me tell you about the long run. I've lived thousands of lives. I've been a laborer, a scientist, a priest, an artist, a healer, thief.

  Ma'alefa'ak : But most often a conqueror.

  Cheetah : I'm still not seeing how this makes up for my money.

  Vandal Savage : Seventy-five-thousand years ago, a disaster nearly rendered humanity extinct. I enslaved the survivors and ruled with an iron hand. In a few generations, my people were well under way to repopulating the Earth and becoming the planet's dominant species. I was happy then.

  Cheetah : You're taking the world over out of nostalgia?

  Vandal Savage : I'm taking over because humanity is prideful and belligerent and once again needs my guiding hand. But before I take over, I intend to soften them up.

  Ma'alefa'ak : By destroying half the world.

  Vandal Savage : Those who survive will happily follow a leader who offers food, comfort and order.

  Bane : That could work.

  Ma'alefa'ak : It will work.

  Vandal Savage : To you, my warlords, I offer dominion over as much of what remains of the planet as each of you can hold, second only to me. Interested?

  Cheetah : You haven't left us much choice.

  Bane : Heh, how do you propose to kill that many people? Even without the Justice League, they will fight.

  Vandal Savage : They'll lose.

• Cheetah : No technology, no superheroes, no functioning governments.

  Vandal Savage : Except the one we control.

  Martian Manhunter : That's quite an ambitious plan. No wonder you wanted us out of the way.

  Vandal Savage : I thought you took care of him.

  Ma'alefa'ak : He should've been burning for weeks.

  Martian Manhunter : Don't feel bad. Actually, none of you managed to finish the job. Did you get all that?

  [Justice League teleports in the Hall of Doom] 

  Superman : We did. Take them down.

• Vandal Savage : Our business is completed. You are, of course, free to go.

  Ma'alefa'ak : You hinted at a larger scheme and said there would be a place for us in it should we so choose.

  Vandal Savage : I did. And the offer remains open to you all. But I fear you lack the vision to go along with me. The next stage of my plans might be considered genocidal.

  Metallo : What are you gonna do, destroy the world?

  Vandal Savage : Nothing so crude. Half. Two-thirds at the most.

  [Metallo laughs] 

  Vandal Savage : It's not a joke. It's the next step in a plan to transform the planet in a manner that will render your $100-million payday both trivial and meaningless.

  Bane : What possible profit could be in destroying the world?

  Vandal Savage : The first thing you have to understand is that I am old. Older than the human race.

  Ma'alefa'ak : I know that you believe this to be true.

  Vandal Savage : It is true.

• Batman : Is everything okay, John?

  Martian Manhunter : Aaaaaagh! Aaaaaaagh!

  Alfred Pennyworth : ...So what'd he say?

  Batman : He's busy.

• Metallo : What's that supposed to be

  Ma'alefa'ak : An invitation

  Vandal Savage : Welcome to the hall of doom, i'm Vandal Savage, i'm pleased to see you all here,

  Star Sapphire : For 10 million$, i'm inclined to accept any invitation

  Metallo : Makes me wonder, what if we just kept the money and not show up

  Vandal Savage : You'd live the rest of your very short lives in fear, in the moment I would inevitably find you,

  Cheetah : Tough talk, none of us are that easy to kill,

  Vandal Savage : Everybody dies, child

  Ma'alefa'ak : That's not, what i've heard about you

  Vandal Savage : You 5 and mirror master, are here because you each have, a personal vendetta against a member of the justice league, you wish to see them dead, while I have no personal entity towards them, I have a vision for this world and they would stand in myway, their deaths would serve my goals, in short we need each other,

  Cheetah : I don't speak for the others, but i'm perfectly capable of killing Wonder Woman by myself

• Martian Manhunter : That's quite an ambitious plan, no wonder you wanted us out of the way

  Vandal Savage : I thought you took care of him

  Ma'alefa'ak : He should have been burning for weeks

  Martian Manhunter : Don't feel bad, actually, none of you managed to finish the job, did you get all that

  Superman : We did, take them down

  Vandal Savage : Don't let them get to the missile
