Justice League: Doom (2012 Video)

Alexis Denisof: Mirror Master

Quotes 

• 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.

• Bane : Wait. A further toast. I've been trying to kill Batman for 10 years. Well, this time, I did better than kill him, I humiliated him.

  Metallo : Here, here.

  Mirror Master : Each of us finally got the better of our opposite numbers and it's all thanks to the genius of one man. Vandal Savage.

  Metallo : Yes, he's the man.

  Bane : Ha, ha, to the man.

  Metallo : His check's clear.

  Bane : I love my money.

• Vandal Savage : History says otherwise, you've all tried and failed, to kill members of the league on multiple occasions

  Mirror Master : Savage has full-proof plans, on how we can destroy them

  Vandal Savage : And I will pay you 100 million$, plus expenses, for each justice leaguer you take off the table

  Star Sapphire : Wait a minute, you just committed over a half a billion$ just to get the j.l.a out of the way of another plan

  Vandal Savage : As Ma'alefa'ak implied earlier i'm very old, 50k years of time to amass, a fortune that dwarfs any other in human history

  Star Sapphire : Even so, to spend that much money just to clean the decks, the payoff must be huge

  Vandal Savage : Inconceivably so, and any of you, who would like to continue working with me are welcome to share the riches, after you've destroyed the justice league

  Metallo : I don't see any of us, looking for the exit

  Vandal Savage : Then it's settled, welcome to the legion of doom

• Metallo : So that things, really going to kill half of the population of earth

  Vandal Savage : Not exactly, the solar flare will do most of the damage

  Mirror Master : Solar flare..

  Vandal Savage : Think of this as a pilot light, when our ideal launch window, opens in just over an hour, this magnificent creation will fly into the sun, trailing magnetic, resonance

  Mirror Master : And when it hits

  Vandal Savage : It will trigger a solar flare that will propagate at light speed among the magnetic trail we've left, and 8 1/5 minutes it will utterly destroy the sunward facing side of the earth, nearly half of the world's population will instantly, and thanks to the accompanying electromagnetic pulse, any technology more advanced than say, the steam engine, will simply stop working

• The Flash : You never asked me how my wrist was healing

  Mirror Master : Fine, hows your ugh ugh

  The Flash : Surprisingly fast

• The Flash : That's new

  Mirror Master : You didn't think it'd be that easy, did you
