Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : [meeting Earth-99's Luke Fox]  Earth-1 villain?

  Kate Kane : Only friend, actually.

  Kara Danvers : Oh. Well, at least he's cute.

• Bruce Wayne : A paragon of courage?

  [laughs] 

  Bruce Wayne : Yeah. Right. I hate to break this to you, but... you're a few years too late. Here. Read this.

  [hands Kate a newspaper article] 

  Kate Kane : [looks at the article and becomes confused]  Don't get me wrong, but... a reign of terror?

  Bruce Wayne : It's like a wise man once said: "Battle not with monsters, unless you become a monster". I've lost track of how many people I've killed over the years.

  Kate Kane : The Bruce I knew had a code.

  Bruce Wayne : You start with a code. You hang on to it with every self-righteous breath. But then you take one life. Then another, and another, and another. You'll see. My Kate... my Kate put on the cape. Thought she'd succeed where I failed! But all she did was get herself killed!

  Kate Kane : Well, I'm not her. And I never will be her.

  Bruce Wayne : And I'm not an old man held together with wire and metal!

  Kate Kane : Fine. Be that way. I don't care. You're nothing but a broken ticked off old hermit, waiting to die in this 11-bedroom, 7-bath coffin, but apparently, you're needed. I'm giving you the chance to be a hero again and save not just Gotham, but... the whole damn universe!

• Kara Danvers : You did this? You brought that... poisonous snake back?

  Mar Novu : His destiny was unfulfilled. Lex Luthor still has an important role to play.

  Kara Danvers : So you can revive him, but you can't bring back Oliver?

  Mar Novu : I restored Luthor long before the Crisis caused my power to wane.

  Kara Danvers : And what about those innocent lives on Earth-38? Did they not have destinies to fulfill? I'm sorry, but I can't trust a man who thinks Lex Luthor is an ally.

  Kate Kane : All I got from that is that if you die again, that dude can't bring you back.

  Lex Luthor : And you are?

  Kate Kane : New. And unfriendly.

• Mar Novu : The Paragon of Courage is known only as the bat of the future.

  Kate Kane : Seriously, where do you get these names and pseudo names, anyway?

  Mar Novu : I enlisted the assistance of Felicity Smoak, who earned the wisdom of a second book.

  Clark Kent : That's a lot of books.

  Mar Novu : The Tome of the Guardians. It revealed the names of Ms. Zor-El and Ms. Lance, as well as the other two.

  Lois Lane : Bummed-out Kryptonian and Future Bat, which technically means...

  Mar Novu : Earth-99 exists in a future time where Bruce Wayne has dedicated himself, body and soul, to fighting crime.

  Ray Palmer : I'm sorry. Go back. Bruce Wayne is the Dark Knight?

  Kate Kane : If we could all keep that to ourselves, that'd be great.

  Mar Novu : The path to find him will lead you to the Paragon of Courage.

  Kate Kane : Okay. Who wants to meet Batman?

• Mar Novu : You have all lost a great hero.

  Barry Allen : The wrong hero.

  Mar Novu : I do not disagree. You have suffered a horrible loss, but you have every reason not to lose hope. Seven, in fact. Across space and time...

  [Jonathan begins crying; Lois give him to Clark] 

  Mar Novu : Across space and time exist seven heroes, beings of the purest will who can ultimately...

  [Jonathan continues crying] 

  Clark Kent : [passing him to Kara]  Sorry. You wanna try?

  Kara Danvers : What?

  Mar Novu : Beings of the purest will who can ultimately...

  Kara Danvers : It's not working.

  Kate Kane : [Kara tries to pass him over]  Nope.

  [Kara gives him to Mick, and he stops crying] 

  Mar Novu : Beings of the purest will who can ultimately defeat the Anti-Monitor...

  Lois Lane : [quietely urging Mick to leave]  Go, go, go.

  Mar Novu : ...and help save the multiverse. They are known as Paragons.

  Barry Allen : Paragons? And you're just dropping this on us now?

  Mar Novu : I only recently learned of their existence by consulting the Book of Destiny.

  Barry Allen : How? We destroyed it last year.

  Mar Novu : [as he conjures a hologram of the book, Lyla winces in pain]  After Oliver's early demise, I went back into the time stream and retrieved it intact. It is now safely stored in this ship's library.

  Barry Allen : [sarcastic]  So, it's what, plan B? That's comforting.

• Kate Kane : Where is Luke taking Kara?

  Bruce Wayne : The library. Just thought we'd get to know each other again.

  Kate Kane : You know, the Bruce I knew wore a different kind of suit.

  Bruce Wayne : A lifetime of injuries. But you've aged well... for a dead girl.

  Kate Kane : I died? When?

  Bruce Wayne : Five years ago.

  Kate Kane : Oh. But I've never been a ghost before.

  Bruce Wayne : Hmm. Plenty of ghosts in this place... but you're not one of them. Clayface is a puddle of mud. And last time I checked, Jane Doe was locked in Arkham. So who the hell are you?

  Kate Kane : Can you, uh, can you sit in that thing? Cause we're gonna need you for this.

• Bruce Wayne : The Kate I knew didn't trust anyone, let alone a Kryptonian.

  Kate Kane : I don't know what happened to you, Bruce, but it ends now.

  Bruce Wayne : Yes. Let it end. Let it all end. This world's not worth saving in any universe.

  Kate Kane : If you really think that, you're gonna have to kill one more person. Me.

  Bruce Wayne : Don't be a fool!

  [tries to hit Kate, but Kate overpowers him by kicking him toward an electric panel, and Bruce gets electrocuted. Kate rushes to help him, but Kara stops her] 

  Supergirl : Don't! He'll kill you!

  Bruce Wayne : [with his last breath]  Kate... listen to me. There is no hope.

  [dies] 

• Bruce Wayne : [leading Kate into the Batcave]  See for yourself. I can barely walk, let alone wear that again.

  Kate Kane : Do you understand how many people, how many worlds, are going to die?

  Bruce Wayne : Well, if they're anything like this world, maybe that's for the best.

  Kate Kane : How can you even say that?

  Bruce Wayne : There was no hope for this world.

  Supergirl : [entering]  That's because you killed Superman. This guy's not a paragon of anything. I was right.

  [shows Kate Clark's broken glasses] 

  Supergirl : We can't trust the Monitor.

  Kate Kane : What did you do?

  Bruce Wayne : Clearly what you couldn't!

• Kate Kane : Lex Luthor; kind of a dick, huh?

  Kara Danvers : When I think of all those people on my Earth that we wanted to save but couldn't, it just feels unfair.

  Kate Kane : Look. A day ago, I didn't think my life could get any worse. My sister murdered my stepmom a-and framed my dad for it.

  Kara Danvers : That's dark, even for Gotham.

  Kate Kane : I'm fighting for a chance to make it right, and this fourth Paragon, my cousin Bruce on... another Earth, finding him might help me get that chance.

  Kara Danvers : Only if you believe the Monitor.

  Kate Kane : What kind of talk is that from the Paragon of Hope?

  [taking an extrapolator out of her jacket pocket] 

  Kate Kane : Come with me. Let's go save the universe.

• Luke Fox : You need to leave, now.

  Bruce Wayne : Don't be so rude, Luke.

  [coming down the stairs in a metal exoskeleton] 

  Bruce Wayne : You'll have to forgive him. We're not used to having guests.

  [seeing and recognizing her] 

  Bruce Wayne : Kate.

  Kate Kane : Bruce?

• Kate Kane : Wow. That's a really impressive six-pack.

  Luke Fox : Sorry, do I know you?

  Kara Danvers : [prompting her]  No.

  Kate Kane : No. But I know you. Well, a-a different... like, a less this version of you. I-I'm Kate Kane. I'm... I'm Bruce's cousin.

  Luke Fox : [shutting the door in her face]  Yeah, no.

• Kara Danvers : Hope, help, and compassion for all. That's what I'm gonna do for Earth-38.

  Kate Kane : But Earth-38 is gone.

  Kara Danvers : I know. But maybe I can use the Book of Destiny to bring it back.

  Kate Kane : The Monitor said that would be really dangerous, Kara.

  Kara Danvers : I know what he said. But what good is being the Paragon of Hope if I don't have any?

• Sara Lance : Never thought we'd be pouring one out for Oliver.

  Kara Danvers : We're not gonna wait for Barry?

  Kate Kane : I don't think he's ready to say goodbye.

  Sara Lance : So, anybody wanna... say some words for Oliver?

  Kara Danvers : He sacrificed himself for me and Barry. Shouldn't have done that.

  Sara Lance : His sacrifice saved a billion more people. Let's not call that a mistake. Look, Oliver died the way he lived. A hero.

• Kate Kane : [Kara brings her a beer]  Do these things even work on you?

  Kara Danvers : Not really, but you looked like you could use a drinking buddy.

• Kate Kane : Time travelers, aliens. I've barely even started this whole vigilante thing. How am I a Paragon?

  Kara Danvers : I've seen you in action. You saved me, and last year, you saved Oliver and Barry's asses, thank you very much.

  Kate Kane : Accurate.

  Kara Danvers : Hmm. How much you care, how hard you try, those are the things that make you a hero, not powers or time travel, and you may not feel like you have the experience now, but you have the heart. You're one of the bravest people I know.

  Kate Kane : That Bruce was brave once, too, and he had heart. What if I end up like him?

  Kara Danvers : You won't. You'll make your own destiny.

  [giving her a picture] 

  Kara Danvers : I found this in his library.

  Kate Kane : That's Beth and me. From Earth-99. I wish I knew her like this.

  Kara Danvers : Maybe you still can.

  Kate Kane : Sounds like the Paragon of Hope just got her hope back.

• Kate Kane : Uh, so Batman tried to kill Kara, and now he's dead, so we're doomed.

  Mar Novu : We shall see. I believe Dr. Palmer's work is now finished.

  Ray Palmer : At least I think it is. I've never actually built a paragon detector before. Uh, okay. This will be the trial run to find the final three. Everyone might want to take a step back.

  [they all do so as he turns it on] 

  Clark Kent : And which Earth is that?

  Ray Palmer : None of them. That's us, this ship. Apparently, there are still a few bugs.

  Mar Novu : Your machine works just fine. That light is the Paragon of Courage.

  Kate Kane : Yeah, well, Bruce's body isn't on the ship, so...

  Mar Novu : No, but you are. I said the path to Earth-99 would lead you to the Paragon, and that has come to pass. You are the bat of the future, Kate Kane. You are the Paragon of Courage.

• Kate Kane : [referring to the late Superman]  How was he a threat?

  Bruce Wayne : Strange visitor from another planet comes to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men?

  [advances toward Kara] 

  Bruce Wayne : Clark. Clark always said yes to anyone with a badge or a flag. He gave them too much power. My parents taught me a very different lesson. Life only makes sense if you force it to.

  [picks up Kara and hurls her to the floor; Kate rushes over to Kara's side and they both watch helplessly as Bruce activates a kryptonite device on his right gauntlet] 

  Bruce Wayne : A little souvenir from the old home town.

  [Kara begins to feel the effects of kryptonite slowly making her weak]
