"Young Justice" Auld Acquaintance (TV Episode 2012) - Miguel Ferrer as Vandal Savage

Vandal Savage : Fifty thousand years of life, and nothing ever troubled me as much as the founding of the Justice League. Dedicated to maintaining society's calcified status quo, the League would protect mankind from disaster, crime, tragedy of any kind. Had you never heard of "the survival of the fittest"? In essence, you heroes sought to protect humanity from its own glorious evolution. As such, you forced my more enlightened colleagues and myself, to organize a response. We created or co-opted networks of operatives, placed key-individuals in key-positions, made certain we were on the cutting edge of all new technologies, genetic engineering, biochemical engineering, robotics, nano-robotics, even techno-sorcery. Not to mention every conceivable method of mind-control. Cold-heard science, a little misdirection, and now you champions of stagnation have become our agents of change, forcing the human race to evolve on a more advanced schedule, allowing the Earth to take its rightful place at the center of the Cosmos.
Klarion the Witch Boy : Come on, we can take 'em!

Vandal Savage : Yes. But in the process, you'd lose control. Perhaps even destroy this station. And whether or not they're in our thrall, "The Light" still needs the Justice League alive, for Phase Two.
