[the superpowered General Eiling has just defeated all the other League members he was fighting]
General Wade Eiling: [yelling to the heavens] Superman, you coward! All your men are down, and you won't even show your face!
Shining Knight: [stepping out of the settling dust] He cannot hear even your bellowing, monster. As we speak, Superman rescues an entire star system a universe away. Do your worst. I'll not let you harm another.
General Wade Eiling: I do what I do in service to my country.
Shining Knight: Once at the word of my lord, King Arthur, I was ordered to lay waste to an entire village. I knew my king's heart could not be so unjust. So I spared them all.
General Wade Eiling: Then you're a lousy soldier.
[the General punches Shining Knight]
Shining Knight: There it is, the creeping moral decay of the past thousand years.
[Shining Knight swings at the General and misses]
Shining Knight: Arthur thanked me, oaf. Had I been wrong, I would have handed over my sword and left the court in shame.
[Shining Knight rushes the General, the General throws him down]
General Wade Eiling: Save yourself a hospital stay and stand down. That magic armor won't help you.
Shining Knight: Have at thee!
[Shining Knight rushes the General, who smashes him into the ground]
General Wade Eiling: You're a relic. In this world, power is the only thing that matters. You and those other no-name heroes, you're just people, in the great scheme of things, nothing you do has the least bit of significance.
[General punches Shining Knight across the street]
General Wade Eiling: I'll waste you and billion like you before I let any power rival America's. It's my duty.
Shining Knight: You don't know what the word means.
General Wade Eiling: You can't win.
Shining Knight: I'll die as befits a knight. Defending the weak.
[Shining Knight tries to stand up but can't]
General Wade Eiling: Why don't you give up?
Shining Knight: Why don't you?
