Quotes 

• Lex Luthor : Give it back. I saw everything. I saw how to save the world. I could have made everyone see. If it wasn't for you, I could have saved the world.

  Superman : If it had mattered to you, Luthor, you could have saved the world years ago.

  Lex Luthor : You're right.

• Nasthalthia : Are you okay?

  Lex Luthor : Better than okay. I can see the entire electromagnetic spectrum and those must be atoms, little clouds of possibility. Einstein couldn't connect the gravitational force to the other three, but if he could have seen this... It's so obvious.

  Nasthalthia : Uncle Lex?

  Lex Luthor : The fundamental forces are yoked by consciousness. Everything's connected. Everyone. And this how he sees things all the time. Every day.

  Nasthalthia : I don't know if I should be worried or mortified.

  Lex Luthor : It's a cruel joke. The mechanistic clockwork of reality hinging on a precious impossible defiance of entropy, on life. And the clockwork doesn't care. It's like - Like it's all just us, in here together. We're all we've got.

  Nasthalthia : You are embarrassing me beyond therapy.

  Superman : You'll have to forgive him, Nasthalthia. He just figured out how everything works.

• Lex Luthor : Doomed planet. Desperate scientists. Last hope. Kindly couple. Superman.

  Dr. Leo Quintum : We know all the story, Luthor. Why did you ask to see me? If this is an escape attempt...

  Lex Luthor : I'd already be free. No, I've already accepted my imminent execution. This is a confession. Forgive me, doctor. For have I sinned. A lot.

  Dr. Leo Quintum : You killed him.

  Lex Luthor : And my deathbed claims that I've seen the error of my ways can't change that. But there is one thing I can do to honor his memory.

• Clark Kent : Gotta get away from him.

  Lex Luthor : What's the matter, Kent? Afraid he'll absorb your cowardice?

• Lex Luthor : You know what happens when you take on Lex Luthor? The same thing that's gonna happen to Superman.

• Clark Kent : It's such a waste. You and Superman could have been friends and instead you're going to die.

  Lex Luthor : Ah, but he'll die first.

• Nasthalthia : Cool. When do I get my super-powers?

  Lex Luthor : The same day that I can trust you with the car keys.

• Lex Luthor : Did you ever think that it would end like this? Me looking down on you?

  Superman : Actually, I had the whole thing figured to end pretty much exactly like this.
