Ra's al Ghul : Mesa De Oro. A lost city defended with honor for centuries.

Ra's al Ghul : I'm not the man I was.
Talia al Ghul : [putting an oxygen mask over his mouth as he coughs] Father, you should rest.
Ra's al Ghul : Old age, Superman. It truly is a shipwreck. One that I have survived more times than I can remember. For centuries, I've kept myself alive by immersing my body in Lazarus Pits. Their wonderous powers rejuvenated me. But each time, the effects were more and more short-lived. Now they can no longer sustain me.

Superman : What do you want from me?
Ra's al Ghul : Your strength.

Talia al Ghul : 'Til we meet again.

Superman : Ra's, you're forgetting something.
Ra's al Ghul : [as he drops Batman and advances on Superman, Superman breaks the staff] No!
Superman : [the room begins to collapse] The room won't hold up much longer. Punish me or save your daughter. Your choice.
