Clancy Brown: Lex Luthor

Quotes 

• Lex Luthor : [getting into his limousine]  The office. Now.

  Harley Quinn : Swell, Mr. L.

  Lex Luthor : Mr. L? Mercy?

  Harley Quinn : Oh, yeah, she had a little accident.

  Lex Luthor : [she locks the doors and drives out into traffic]  All right, missy, I don't know what your game is, but I promise you, you'll pay dearly for this. You're dead! Do you hear me?

  Harley Quinn : [yawning]  Blah, blah, blah. Whoa, mama! Check out the cute hitchhiker!

  The Joker : [showing leg like a femme fatale]  Yoo-hoo!

  Lex Luthor : [Harley stops the car and he gets in]  Joker.

  The Joker : Lexy, old kid, do I have a deal for you.

• Lex Luthor : As you can see, the Wayne-Lex T-7 can traverse the most difficult terrain, never losing sight of its ultimate target.

  Bruce Wayne : Congratulations.

  Lex Luthor : This is your project, too, you know.

  Bruce Wayne : Well, I'm proud of the work both our teams have done. These robots are going to revolutionize unmanned space travel.

  Lex Luthor : Actually, there may be a use for them closer to home. The Joint Chiefs have shown tremendous interest. It doesn't take much imagination to envision these robots on the battlefield.

  Bruce Wayne : Except... I won't allow it.

  Lex Luthor : What?

  Bruce Wayne : I don't like guns.

  Lex Luthor : Well, Bruce, I think I have something to say about this.

  Bruce Wayne : Not according to our deal. All technological applications need my approval first. Blame it on me, Lex. Tell your pals at the Pentagon I just don't have the imagination.

• The Joker : Ooh! Rich Corinthian leather.

  Lex Luthor : What do you want?

  The Joker : I sense we are kindred spirits, you and I. Oh, there are differences, to be sure, like hair. But underneath it all, we're both entrepreneurs, men of vision. We see an opportunity we grab it. Am I right?

  [Lex doesn't answer] 

  The Joker : Right. But in the past few weeks, I've had a run of bad luck. Bad luck that wears a cape. Thanks to that miserable, pointy-eared rodent Batman, all my operations in Gotham City have been shut down. But you, too, have an overgrown bully in long underwear, which brings me to my little proposition.

  Lex Luthor : I'm listening.

  The Joker : Pay me $1 billion, and I'll kill Superman.

  Lex Luthor : [chuckling]  What makes you think you can kill Superman when you can't even handle a mere mortal in a Halloween costume?

  The Joker : There's nothing mere about Batmortal. Besides, I've read up on your flyboy. I know his weakness.

  [showing Lex the statue he stole] 

  The Joker : See? Solid kryptonite.

  Lex Luthor : You know I can't be connected to this in any way.

  The Joker : Oh, you'll be Mr. Clean. I promise. Deal?

  Lex Luthor : [shaking hands]  Deal.
