Quotes8

  • Superman: [Lytener, calling himself Luminous now, is using hologram duplicates] Enough, Lytener! What do you want?
  • Edward Lytener: [one at a time] To kill you, for getting in my way, for making a mockery of me and my work.
  • Superman: And how are holograms supposed to kill me?
  • Edward Lytener: Well, we might only be made of light, but so are lasers!
  • Superman: [Superman encounters a burly cowboy Lytener hologram cracking his knuckles] Trying to scare me with holograms again?
  • [Lytener suddenly delivers a powerful blow to Superman, knocking him to the ground]
  • Edward Lytener: With the proper use of laser fields, the hologram actually feels quite solid, doesn't it?
  • Edward Lytener: [being caught and flashed with cameras] Get those lights out of my eyes!
  • Superman: You heard him. Put him somewhere nice and dark.
  • Luminus: Don't feel bad, Lois. It's not personal this time. I have bigger fish to fry now, and frankly, you're just bait.
  • Lois Lane: [sarcastic] Oh, yeah. That makes me feel better.
  • Luminus: Ah. Speak of the devil, and here he comes.
  • [she sees Superman approaching]
  • Luminus: Someday, I'll have to figure out how he's always watching over you.
  • [she screams as he cuts the brakes of her tram and the car falls]
  • Superman: [straining to stop it] Lois, I can't hang on for long! The tram's too heavy!
  • Luminus: Just wait, Superman. This is only the beginning.
  • Superman: Lytener.
  • Luminus: It's Luminus now. Tell me, Superman, feeling a little under the weather?
  • Superman: [to Lois] Quick! Give me your hand!
  • Luminus: Yes, tend to Lois. This was just a test. You'll realize what I've done to you in time. See you soon...
  • [vanishing]
  • Luminus: Even if you don't see me.
  • Edward Lytener: Here's the game, Superman. Lois and her friend are somewhere in the building. Find them, and I spare their lives.
  • Superman: I don't play games, Lytener.
  • Edward Lytener: Oh, come now. After all I went through to remove your powers, I do deserve to have a little fun.
  • Professor Hamilton: I can have the rocket operational within the hour.
  • Superman: Good. If I can shoot a few of those satellites out of the sky, maybe I can let in some real sunlight.
  • Luminus: Sorry, Superman. No space jaunts for you today.
  • Superman: [seeing a hologram of Lois and Jimmy tied up] Where are they?
  • Luminus: Want to save them? All you have to do...
  • [turning into a glowing orb]
  • Luminus: ...is follow the bouncing ball.
  • Professor Hamilton: Superman, you're almost powerless. He's obviously trying to lure you in.
  • Superman: And doing a good job.
  • Luminus: Getting weaker, I see. You must be at, what? Half strength by now?
  • Superman: Want to try me?
  • [leaping forward, he passes through Lytener]
  • Superman: A hologram.
  • Luminus: [more holograms appear behind him] Maybe this is the real me. But then again... Maybe it's me... Or me.
  • Luminus: How does it feel to be mortal, Superman? To know pain? Well, don't worry. You won't have to endure it for long.
  • Luminus: [as he fires his blaster, Superman picks up a radar dish and deflects it back, destroying Lytener's machine and restoring the blue sky] NO!
  • Luminus: [leaps on Superman] I can still finish you off!
  • [punches Superman repeatedly, only for his enemy to recover and crush his own fist]
