Quotes
-
[Batman throws a Batarang, and for the umpteenth time, Shade loses his power when his staff is knocked out of his hand]
Batman : Never learn, do you?
[Shade kicks him square in the face, knocking him onto his back]
The Shade : Actually, I have learned a few things.
[he assumes a fighting stance. Batman does the same, and motions "come on."]
-
The Shade : [watching surveillance video of the Flash] Fool.
Grodd : Maybe, but I owe him quite a lot. If it hadn't been for a certain accident he caused, I never would've gotten my new mental powers.
The Shade : That's why they broke up so easily. You willed them to.
Grodd : Even my mind isn't that powerful. For months, I've been reading their body language and facial expressions like a book. They were holding back considerable resentment for each other. All I had to do was get those feelings to come out.
Parasite : How'd you do that?
Grodd : Parasite, have you ever said something you knew you shouldn't have, something really hurtful?
Parasite : Sure.
Grodd : What made you do it? Too little sleep? Low blood sugar? Maybe you were just in one of those moods you get into every so often.
Giganta : I hear that.
Grodd : Precisely. This blessed organ of mine can send out thought waves that affect those moods. They open the door that most people keep locked.
Killer Frost : So, what's next?
Grodd : We've already divided. Now we conquer.
