Quotes 

• Green Lantern : [during a training exercise]  Impressive.

  Superman : Thanks.

  Green Lantern : But did you really need to take all that abuse?

  Hawkgirl : I could have used my mace on it, if you'd give me a chance.

  The Flash : And it never would've been able to lay a glove on me.

  Superman : When have I heard that before?

  The Flash : [insulted]  Hey!

  Green Lantern : They're making a good point. You've got to trust your partners.

  Superman : I do, but the fact is I'm the invulnerable one. Every punch I take is a punch they don't have to.

  Hawkgirl : Are you saying we can't cut it?

  The Flash : That's what it sounds like to me.

  J'onn J'onzz : Now, hold on. We're a team.

  Superman : But we're not all equal. You can't deny that...

  Green Lantern : Everybody, knock it off! We're gonna keep doing this 'til we get it right.

• Green Lantern : It was 7 to 6. We had the advantage.

  Wonder Woman : Where'd you go? I was counting on you.

  Hawkgirl : Lantern was hurt, and I recall you saying that you could take her.

  Batman : So much for practice makes perfect.

  The Flash : I thought we were practicing teamwork, not one guy tells everybody else what to do.

  Green Lantern : Somebody has to be in charge, and it couldn't very well be you.

  The Flash : You know, I'm getting really sick of...

  Superman : Will you both shut up? I've had better luck handling whole armies, and you know why? Because I didn't have to worry about anyone but myself.

  Hawkgirl : Then why don't you go back to that?

  Superman : You think I haven't considered it?

  The Flash : This whole stinking group was your idea, and now you don't want to do it anymore?

  Wonder Woman : You men. Unless you do it on your own, it doesn't count.

  Hawkgirl : It's not just the men, you stuck-up...

  J'onn J'onzz : Stop it! Stop it right now! I arrived here not knowing a soul, and you took me in. You became my new family. But what's the use of a family if it diminishes us as individuals?

  The Flash : Well... what are...

  J'onn J'onzz : I'm saying I survived the loss of one family. And I'll survive this one, too.

  [as he leaves, the others all turn and go their own separate ways] 

• Green Lantern : I can't stand that hero-worship stuff.

  J'onn J'onzz : But isn't that what we are?

  Green Lantern : Not tonight. Not when two of us can't stop someone like Shade.

• Green Lantern : A guard over at Prime Tech is reporting a robbery in progress. Sounds like a friend of ours is back in business.

  J'onn J'onzz : Shade.

  Green Lantern : How'd you...

  [remembering J'onn is telepathic] 

  Green Lantern : I keep forgetting.

• Superman : What's the problem?

  Green Lantern : Us. We're not working together as well as we could.

  The Flash : Come on. We're batting close to a thousand.

  Green Lantern : A lot of that's been luck. We've taken some pretty bad hits along the way.

  Wonder Woman : What are you suggesting?

  Green Lantern : Practice.

  J'onn J'onzz : [groaning from the others]  It's that or more of what happened to us tonight.

  Hawkgirl : What do we really have to lose?

  Batman : Time.

  Superman : A little more teamwork wouldn't hurt any of us.

  Green Lantern : Looks like you're outvoted.
