Quotes 

• J'onn J'onzz : You age gracefully.

  Vandal Savage : You have no idea.

• Vandal Savage : Who would have thought the Ubermensch would be green?

  J'onn J'onzz : Ubermensch?

  Vandal Savage : The superior man. Those destined to lead the world.

  J'onn J'onzz : I thought that was your goal.

  Vandal Savage : My only desire is peace, progress, unity...

  J'onn J'onzz : With you in charge, of course.

  Vandal Savage : Why not? Under my enlightened leadership, I can build a new world order.

• Vandal Savage : How many friends did you bring with you? What are their powers?

  J'onn J'onzz : I'll never betray them.

  Vandal Savage : We'll see.

  [Savage leaves the room, passing another Nazi officer] 

  Vandal Savage : He's yours, Josef. Perhaps your powers of persuasion will loosen his tongue.

  Josef : [pulling on rubber gloves]  Has anyone ever held anything back from me, Mein Fuhrer?

• [about the laptop sent back in time by his future self] 

  Vandal Savage : Sixty years from now, it will be a child's toy. But today, it's the most powerful weapon on earth.

• Vandal Savage : [his laptop has been destroyed]  Ruined! How can this have happened?

  General Hoffman : Apparently, the prisoner overpowered the guard and escaped.

  Vandal Savage : He knows too much. We'll have to move up the invasion. Send out the signal immediately. Begin Operation Endgame.

  General Hoffman : We can't.

  Vandal Savage : Why not?

  General Hoffman : We just learned that one of our coded communicators is missing. We think the spy took it.

  Vandal Savage : [backhanding him]  Imbecile! Get it back, or destroy it.

• Vandal Savage : [in a recorded message sent back in time to himself]  I have finally found a way to open a door into the past. And through that door, I have sent you this. Over the last few years, I've come to realize that World War II was the last, best opportunity for me to assume full and permanent power. The technology inside this device will give you a huge advantage in the war. And I will also give you a second advantage: knowledge of the future. First, the war cannot be won if that raging lunatic continues to run things. He must be pushed aside. Second, the Allies will invade Normandy on June 6, 1944. Be ready. Third...

  [his past self turns the recording off] 

  Vandal Savage : Well, you get the idea. Knowing the future, how can I not succeed?

  J'onn J'onzz : I've seen your future. It doesn't work.
