Dc Comics Quotes

“I wanted to put a reference to masturbation in one of the scripts for the Sandman. It was immediately cut by the editor [Karen Berger]. She told me, "There's no masturbation in the DC Universe." To which my reaction was, "Well, that explains a lot about the DC Universe.”
― Neil Gaiman

“I'm playing 'chicken' with a kid called 'Robin.' I don't know why he's showing off. I don't know why I'm going along with it. I don't even know where we're going. It could be a robbery. Or prison break. A gang war. Or free donuts at Lenny's. He sees that Bat-signal in the sky and takes off. Like a bird out of Hell. And he just expects me to follow him. And I do.”
― Chuck Dixon, Batgirl: Year One

“I use their expectations against them. That will be their weakness. Not mine. Let them all underestimate me. Let them think they have the upper hand over the little girl. Let them relax while the adrenaline leaks out of their systems. Let them believe they're closing their grips on a shrinking violet. And when their guard is down and their pride is rising... let me kick their butts up around their ears.”
― Chuck Dixon, Batgirl: Year One

“Wait for a hero? Barbara Joan Gordon -- Be your own damn hero.”
― Marguerite Bennett, Batgirl (2011-2016) #25

“Tell your story, and listen to someone else's.”
― Marguerite Bennett

“Keep Faith
Trust to Love
Fight with Honor
But fight to win”
― Gail Simone, Wonder Woman, Vol. 3: The Circle

“I Wear A Mask. And That Mask, It’s Not To Hide Who I Am, But To Create What I Am.”
― Brian Azzarello, Eduardo Risso's

“You don't have to share the same parents to be sisters, Just the same heart.”
― Kami Garcia, Teen Titans: Raven

“I couldn’t handle the sudden rush of emotions. You couldn’t handle any emotions. We made quite the pair.”
― Ariel Thomas, DCU Halloween Special '09 (2009) #1

“I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either.”
― Brad Meltzer, Identity Crisis

“Green Arrow is the embodiment of what one person can do. It’s a theme that comes up repeatedly in this book, one that explains why this powerless archer with a chip on his shoulder appeals to so many people. He wasn’t born of the heartbreaking tragedy of a Batman, he didn’t fall from the stars to deliver humanity from evil, nor is his origin wrapped in the fabric of Greek myths and legends. He is a human character that struggles with work, love, loss, darkness, death, and the weight of his own sins. Like the rest of us humans, Green Arrow is flawed, and a perpetually moving target.”
― Richard Gray, Moving Target: The History and Evolution of Green Arrow

“I don't care about the past - I believe in the power to reinvent yourself.”
― Lex Luthor

“It seemed to me, from a psychological angle, that the comics' worst offense was their blood-curdling masculinity. A male hero, at best, lacks the qualities of maternal love and tenderness which are as essential to a normal child as the breath of life. Suppose your child's ideal becomes a superman who uses his extraordinary powers to help the weak. The most important ingredient in the human happiness recipe still is missing - love.”
― William Moulton Marston

“Any relationship founded on lies is destined to fail. It’s a good thing we don’t have that problem.”
― Lex Luthor, Smallville

“I’m the only sane inmate of Asylum Earth. I’m not eager to hand tomorrow over to an interplanetary extremist with laser eyes. There’s only room on this world for one leader, Superman. When I’m finished with you, every last gibbon out there will know you for the menace you are… and they’ll realize that Lex Luthor is their savior.”
― Lex Luthor, Birthright

“The old moves come back. Dick always went off-book. Jason hated practicing them. But Tim… he loved it. The teamwork. We had each other’s backs.”
― Chip Zdarsky, Batman (2016-) #130

“Tim is the best Robin, but Damian is probably more fun to write. I’d say that Tim’s role is partner to Batman while Damian’s role is that of a son who needs guidance, and the role of Robin is a way of doing that. Tim no longer needs Batman’s guidance, he’s just a damned good partner.”
― Chip Zdarsky

“A black hole. The biggest tosser. Magical rogue and gadfly. Scouser. Magician. Wanker. A nasty piece of work. Londoner. That bastard John
Constantine.”
― Richard Gray, From Bayou to Abyss: Examining John Constantine, Hellblazer

“You see what you want to see”
― Geoff Johns, Doomsday Clock #9: Crisis

“Tuesday Man by Stewart Stafford

He was only a superhero on Tuesdays,
And the rest of the time was his own,
Tuesday was the villains' day of rest,
Then crime sprees just like Al Capone.

He tried to make his Tuesdays longer,
By pulling some gruelling all-nighters,
But he knew that to be more effective,
He'd have to be a 7-day crime-fighter.

So, he rearranged his calendar totally,
To take the fight to all the baddies,
He was on-call from then on, 24/7,
Or relaxed playing golf with his caddy.

“Superheroes are supposedly great beings who rise to help humanity through its darkest hours. Who needs these preposterous figures? They are just the continuation of messianism by other means. Humanity needs to help itself and stop looking to fantasy beings to help it out. You will never resolve your problems while you are expecting a deus ex machina to bail you out.”
― David Sinclair, Superheroes and Presidents: How Absurd Stories Have Poisoned the American Mind

“Superman – Moses in a costume, with his underpants on the outside. Captain America – the poster boy of the mad American patriot. Wonder Woman wore a bathing suit bearing the American flag. She was as beautiful as Aphrodite, as wise as Athena, as strong as Hercules, and as swift and as great a warrior as Diana. Superheroes fought enemy spies at home. They battled reds under the beds. America is a mythological country in the modern world. By surrounding itself with modern myths, it has made itself less and less real. America simulates being a real country via its modern myths, but only succeeds in become phonier.”
― David Sinclair, Superheroes and Presidents: How Absurd Stories Have Poisoned the American Mind

“The Western mind is highly geared up for believing immensely dumb things thanks to the astonishing prevalence of 'superhero' culture – a literally spectacular vehicle for the most delusional magical thinking, entirely religious in its fundamental nature since it is so reliant on an assortment of weird messiahs with their various super powers coming to save humanity. What is entirely absent from superhero movies is ordinary people with agency, capable of changing the world themselves without any superheroes, which is to say without divine intervention.”
― David Sinclair, Lucid Sex: Revolutionize Your Sex Life

“Superheroes are just Jesus Christ with a penchant for extreme violence (i.e., Jesus Christ perfected by the Second Amendment!). To enjoy a superhero movie, you already need to be ninety percent Christian in your basic worldview.”
― David Sinclair, Lucid Sex: Revolutionize Your Sex Life

“My Mom was a little religious, my Dad not at all. So when she was killed--and my Dad was left in a coma--I didn’t have a strong foundation of faith to turn to.
By the time my father was killed—then so many of my friends--all I had left to turn to was anger. It was easier than believing in a God who had let that happen.
But anger solved little and when the world was in crisis--I prayed. I heard only silence. So I confessed my sins… and realized I had none.
How could someone who tried so hard to be good--did so much for so many people--be asked to endure so much?”
― Fabian Nicieza, Red Robin #22

“It’s not that I normally avoid thinking about my Mom. I think about her every day, of course, and feel how much I miss her. But I always make sure not to wade in above my chest.”
― Jon Lewis, Robin (1993-2009) #102 (Robin

“I think of Dick, Tim… Jason… Damian. Legacy. My sons. Can’t move, body’s giving out. This is a good death, isn’t it? In this place. With all these memories.”
― Chip Zdarsky, Batman (2016-) #127

“Fate does not make mistakes”
― Doctor Fate

“I had withdrawn from humanity because I had, in fact, lost my humanity. I had believed that without my humanity, there was little to no purpose to my continuing to exist. However, in the past few minutes, I have begun to believe that perhaps... Just perhaps... There is some small aspect of human feeling left to me."

"Why?"

"Because I find that you three annoy the hell out of me. I feel the urge to smack you... Particularly Impulse. For that, I am indebted. Thank you."

"You're uh... You're welcome... I guess.”
― Peter David, Young Justice, Book One

“Your disappointment is a burden I will carry with me for as long as it takes me to finish this sentence.
-Red Tornado”
― Peter David, Young Justice, Book Five
