Power Girl:
Luthor did the one thing nobody was expecting. He made things boring again. And boring is good, isn't it? The economy is back to normal. Crime is down. There are no wars or anything. Superman:
He's up to something. Can't anybody see that? Captain Atom:
That's what I thought at first. Eventually, I realized all he's trying to do is put that formidable intellect to work doing such a good job, no one will have a choice but to respect him. It's all about ego now. Superman:
I'll never respect him. He's a sick man. Major Force:
He's not the first to sit in the Oval Office. Captain Atom:
He's right. There have been womanizers, drunks, crooks, but Nixon helped turn our worst enemy into our best trading partner. And Johnson gave us the Voting Rights Act. Superman:
Thanks for the history lesson, but I'm not buying it. Power Girl:
Come on, work with us. Please? We need you. Superman:
Sorry. [Superman flies off] Captain Atom:

POWER GIRL: Luthor did the one thing
nobody was expecting.
00:00:05.795 --> 00:00:07.212
He made things boring again.
00:00:07.038 --> 00:00:09.008
And boring is good, isn't it?
00:00:09.173 --> 00:00:11.633
The economy is back to normal.
Crime is down.
00:00:11.801 --> 00:00:14.302
There are no wars or anything.
00:00:15.638 --> 00:00:17.973
He's up to something.
Can't anybody see that?
00:00:18.014 --> 00:00:19.641
ATOM:
That's what I thought at first.
00:00:19.809 --> 00:00:21.935
Eventually, I realized
all he's trying to do...
00:00:22.103 --> 00:00:25.073
...is put that formidable intellect
to work doing such a good job...
00:00:25.898 --> 00:00:28.441
...no one will have a choice
but to respect him.
00:00:28.609 --> 00:00:30.485
It's all about ego now.
00:00:30.653 --> 00:00:33.196
SUPERMAN:
I'll never respect him. He's a sick man.
00:00:33.364 --> 00:00:35.049
He's not the first to sit in the Oval Office.
00:00:35.658 --> 00:00:38.618
He's right. There have been womanizers,
drunks, crooks...
00:00:38.786 --> 00:00:42.455
...but Nixon helped turn our worst enemy
into our best trading partner.
00:00:42.623 --> 00:00:44.791
And Johnson gave us
the Voting Rights Act.
00:00:44.959 --> 00:00:47.627
SUPERMAN: Thanks for the history lesson,
but I'm not buying it.
00:00:47.795 --> 00:00:50.338
POWER GIRL:
Come on, work with us. Please?
00:00:50.506 --> 00:00:52.424
We need you.
00:00:53.551 --> 00:00:55.176
Sorry.
00:01:00.085 --> 00:01:04.001
I guess Luthor's not the only one
with an ego.
00:01:11.986 --> 00:01:14.999
Is the spectrographic analysis
complete yet?
00:01:14.028 --> 00:01:18.158
MAN: Yes, sir. And the new data
confirms our original analysis.
00:01:18.999 --> 00:01:20.999
The meteor is pure kryptonite.
00:01:20.369 --> 00:01:23.997
A chunk of Krypton
the size of a small country.
00:01:23.205 --> 00:01:26.541
That planet's been an endless source
of grief for me.
00:01:26.709 --> 00:01:29.999
MAN: The new numbers also indicate
our original estimate...
00:01:29.378 --> 00:01:31.999
...of time of impact was right.
00:01:31.631 --> 00:01:33.715
Seven days.
00:01:33.883 --> 00:01:38.994
Correction. There's not going to be
any impact.
00:01:39.007 --> 00:01:40.001
What's the plan?
00:01:40.348 --> 00:01:41.389
Missiles.
00:01:41.557 --> 00:01:44.434
WALLER: We've never shot down
anything that big before.
00:01:44.602 --> 00:01:45.001
LUTHOR:
The missiles will work.
00:01:46.998 --> 00:01:50.398
When I first heard about this,
I started doing the calculations myself.
00:01:50.566 --> 00:01:52.001
You're brooding, Amanda.
00:01:52.318 --> 00:01:56.998
I'm just thinking
we have all sorts of other firepower.
00:01:56.238 --> 00:01:58.999
You mean those so-called superheroes?
00:01:58.866 --> 00:02:01.091
WALLER: They do work for you now.
Most of them, anyway.
00:02:02.003 --> 00:02:04.999
That's to keep them
from working against me.
00:02:04.622 --> 00:02:07.666
I'm not going to put the fate
of this planet in the hands of....
00:02:07.833 --> 00:02:09.001
Of freaks and monsters.
00:02:09.001 --> 00:02:12.999
-That's not why you won't use them.
LUTHOR: No?
00:02:12.797 --> 00:02:15.003
You want all the credit for yourself.
00:02:15.001 --> 00:02:16.001
Careful.
00:02:16.001 --> 00:02:18.999
Try thinking of it this way:
00:02:18.761 --> 00:02:22.001
If you don't reach out
to some of those freaks and monsters...
00:02:22.001 --> 00:02:26.935
...there might not be a planet left
to feed that massive ego of yours.
00:02:27.001 --> 00:02:30.999
Now, if you have nothing else for me....
