Quotes

Cyborg Superman: My throat is artificial. How can it be so dry?

Batman: Mikaal… Superman died. Do you remember when all of that went down. You have to. Right?Starman: Er honestly, I was an emaciated drugged exhibit in a freak show at the time, so no.

Synopsis “Reign of Doomsday Part Five: No Exit!”
