Quotes 

• SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : [as Darkseid is leaving]  Go on, you mangy buzzards! And don't come back!

  Darkseid : [turns around to face Superman]  Savor your moment of triumph, Superman. But remember victory has its price.

  [fires an Omega Beam and kills Turpin] 

• Darkseid : People of Earth, I am Darkseid! Lord of Apokolips!

  [gestures to Superman] 

  Darkseid : Here is your savior, bound and broken! I have crushed him as easily as I have crushed all who have dared to oppose me throughout the cosmos. I am power unlike any you have known! Absolute, infinite, and unrelenting! You have no choice but to prepare for a long, dark future as my subjects... and my *slaves*.

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : In a pig's eye!

  Crowd : Yeah!

  [Darkseid glowers at the crowd] 

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : This is our world, ugly! You won't get it without a fight!

  Superman : You hear that Darkseid? The people on Earth aren't like your slaves on Apokolips. They don't take kindly to dictators.

  Darkseid : If they resist, I will not hesitate to destroy them.

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : You wanna piece of me? C'mon! C'mon Rockhead!

  [Turpin tackles one of Darkseid's minions while Maggie and her fellow officer watch on television] 

  Officer : Geez! Is he crazy?

  Maggie Sawyer : Yeah.

  [Cut back to the scene on the street] 

  Darkseid : They know this is suicide.

  Superman : Better a quick death in battle than a slow one under your heel!

  Kalibak : Darkseid! We have detected military aircraft heading this way!

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : [Gathers minion's electric spear]  I don't care how many crummy planets you've conquered! You ain't getting this one!

  [Turpin heaves the spear and frees Superman's left arm, allowing him to break the rest of his restraints as well] 

  Kalibak : No!

  [Kalibak attacks Superman but is easily defeated] 

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : That's one for the home team!

  Superman : [turns to Darkseid]  Let's finish it!

  Darkseid : Very well! This world dies now!

• Jimmy Olsen : [seeing an Apokoliptic tank]  What is it?

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : It ain't no street sweeper.

• SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : What do you think you're doin', kid? This ain't no stunt show.

  Jimmy Olsen : Yeah, I'm with the Planet. I'm their photographer.

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : That a fact? Well, get ready to shoot.

• Lois Lane : [seeing an Apokoliptic tank]  What is that thing? Oh, my Lord.

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : [seeing Superman restained on top of it]  Holy Joe.

• Professor Hamilton : The radioactive hole is now only a few hundred meters deep. But that's going to increase, and quickly.

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : Shouldn't you be paging your new best friend the buckethead?

  Superman : I was just thinking about Orion.

  [activating the communicator, it fritzes out] 

  SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : What's the matter?

  Superman : [inspecting it with his x-ray vision]  Fried. Must have been the pulse from the explosion. We're on our own now.

  Professor Hamilton : If the reactor melts through the top mantle, we'll never stop it.

• SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : Hey, you overgrown parakeet!
