Superman/Batman: Apocalypse

Superman: Her name is Kara Zor-El, from Krypton. She's my cousin. Batman: [exasperated] Your cousin just torched $50,000 worth of custom hardware. Superman: Send me the bill. Batman: [reluctantly] On a reporter's salary? Right.

Superman: [reading Zor-El's message] "This vessel carries my daughter, Kara Zor-El, from the now dead planet Krypton. Treat her as you would your own child. She will prove a treasure for your world." Batman: Treasure. You're sure of the translation? Superman: It says treasure. Not terror, not trouble. Always the cynic. You can't help yourself, can you? Batman: You know those tests I was running? Her cellular structure is a shade more dense than yours. She metabolizes sunlight more efficiently. It could be her youth. It could be something else. Bottom line, she might be more powerful than you. It makes me wonder. So does her sudden appearance.

Batman: Does any of this fill in your memory lapses? Kara: Some. I know that's my Uncle Jor-El and my Aunt Lara. Batman: Because Superman, Kal-El, told you. Kara: No. Because I remember. Uncle Jor-El was like my father. They both believed the planet was doomed which is why my father also built a ship. He told me the navigation system was locked onto Earth and that he and my mother would soon follow. I was just about out when I saw them die, right before my eyes. And then there was that light, that awful, blistering light. Then, all I remember is darkness. The rest you told me. How the asteroid carried me across the galaxy until it broke apart and I landed here. Batman: Do you remember your mother's name? Kara: You know I don't. Why don't you trust me? Batman: Kal-El has enemies who would go to great lengths to destroy him. Kara: You think I would hurt my own cousin? Batman: Perhaps not intentionally. Kara: I sensed your presence earlier because I thought I heard your heartbeat. I was w

Superman: Krypto's just feeling a little overprotective. Aren't you, boy? Batman: I don't know. I've always considered him a good judge of character. Superman: Look, she's been through a lot. Not to mention learning an entire language in less than a week. Why don't you cut her some slack? Batman: We don't know anything about her. She claims to have no memory of anything prior to splashing down in Gotham Bay. Superman: I'm not saying there aren't loose ends. Batman: Having no control over her powers is more than a loose end. She's dangerous. Superman: Which is why she's in quarantine until she can gain control. She may be the only blood relative I have left. I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, at least for the time being. You don't have a problem with that, do you? Batman: No problem at all. But I can't speak for the dog.

Granny Goodness: Surrender, Amazon. Wonder Woman: Barda! Gilotina: Surrender now, or the bitch dies. Big Barda: No, Diana, let them kill me. Never surrender. Granny Goodness: Imagine how pleased Darkseid will be. Why settle for some girl who fell to Earth when I can deliver to him the champion of the Amazons.

Kara Kent: I think I'm gonna like it here. Clark Kent: It can be a little quiet. Kara Kent: Kal, I've been chased, shot at, kidnapped, beaten up, had my mind controlled and I broke a nail. I'm ready for a little quiet. Clark Kent: If I know my mother, she'll have some her famous apple pie waiting. You okay? Kara Kent: Little nervous, I guess. It's just, you have this life. You can be Clark, or Kal-El, or Superman. Even a son. Who am I going to be? Clark Kent: I can't answer that, Kara. Only you can. Whatever you decide, I'll be there for you. I promise.
