- Superman: You shouldn't have risked your lives for us.
- J'onn J'onzz: Would you have done less for me?
- Superman: I once thought I could protect the world by myself, but I was wrong. Working together, we saved the planet and I believe that is we stayed together as a team, we could be a force that could truly work for the ideals of peace and justice.
- The Flash: What, like a bunch of Superfriends?
- Superman: More like a Justice League.
- Wonder Woman: They're nothing but untamed savages.
- J'onn J'onzz: Do not judge them too harshly. They act out of fear.
- Imperium: After all these years you have finally lost.
- J'onn J'onzz: [telepathically] Have I?
- Imperium: You're hiding something. A secret deep in the recesses of your mind. Is this another one of your Martian tricks?
- J'onn J'onzz: [telepathically] Do I sense fear?
- Batman: Coming from the depths of space, the invaders have no resistance to our sun's radiation.
- Wonder Woman: So you did find their weakness after all.
- The Flash: [Whisks Batman out of where the spaceship wreckage falls a second later] We'd hate to lose you again.
- Superman: J'onn, we can never replace the family you've lost. But we would be honored if you could learn to call the Earth your home.
- J'onn J'onzz: My family and loved ones are long gone... I am the last of my kind.
- Superman: I know the feeling.
- The Flash: [after J'onn transforms into one of the aliens to defeat them] Is it just me, or does he creep you out too?
- The Flash: [after causing the alien war-machine to lose a leg trying to catch him, it falls over and explodes] B'bye.
- Imperium: [Martian Manhunter draws the Imperium into the sunlight] NO!
- J'onn J'onzz: You live underground and shun the light? Why? Does it burn your pale, putrid skin?
- [Imperium screams in agony]
- Wonder Woman: My mother may not approve, but I find mankind's world to be intriguing. I'll gladly join.
- Snapper Carr: In the aftermath of the Metropolis meltdown, most of the invaders have retreated from Earth. Superman and a team of other heroes have driven out the remaining pockets of resistance, helping to restore order around the world. Despite this stunning victory, some are warning that we must remain vigilant.
- General Wells: [at a press conference] We got lucky this time. What will we do if the invaders ever return?
- J'onn J'onzz: Your friends are alive, but we must act quickly. The Imperium is coming.
- The Flash: The who?
- J'onn J'onzz: The supreme intelligence that controls these invaders. We have met before.
- J. Allen Carter: Earth's mightiest heroes. Welcome.
- Superman: Senator Carter.
- J. Allen Carter: Unfortunately, the real Carter never returned from Mars.
- Superman: And you used me to weaken Earth's defenses.
- J. Allen Carter: You were so eager to cooperate. Thanks to you, the humans were totally helpless against us.
- Superman: It's not over yet.
- J. Allen Carter: Wrong again, Superman.
- [a ship docks inside]
- J. Allen Carter: All hail the Imperium!
- Imperium: J'onn J'onzz. It's been a long time.
- [two guards zap J'onn with electric poles, and he falls to the ground]
- Imperium: Much better. You have defied us for centuries.
- J'onn J'onzz: And I will never bow before you or any of your kind.
- Imperium: Then we will personally see to finishing what should have been accomplished long ago: the elimination of the last Martian.
- Imperium: What are you hiding?
- J'onn J'onzz: NOW!
- The Flash: [Batman appears in a puff of smoke] Batman?
- Wonder Woman: It can't be.
- J'onn J'onzz: I mentally shielded him so he couldn't be detected.
- Snapper Carr: Government sources have confirmed the approach of another object from space. They predict it will be roughly five times the size of the first landers. Senator J. Allen Carter had this to say.
- J. Allen Carter: In the face of this new development, we are calling on the public to remain calm.
- Rioter: [looting a store] I always wanted one of these.
- Rioter: But what if we get caught?
- Rioter: What difference does it make? The world's coming to an end, anyway.
- Batman: This watchtower will act as an early-warning system for detecting other threats of invasion from space.
- The Flash: [entering with Diana] And it also has a fully-stocked kitchen. Iced mocha?
- Superman: No, thanks.
- Wonder Woman: [sipping her own] Mm. They don't have these on Themyscira.
- The Flash: Stick around, princess. I'll show you the ropes.
- Wonder Woman: Perhaps I will.
