10. We're falling directly into the sun.Copy !req
11. When we hit the convection zone, the
temperature will reach 40 million degrees.Copy !req
12. I'm not ready to die just yet.Copy !req
13. Pity.Copy !req
14. You killed your brother.Copy !req
15. - I did.
- That should be impossible.Copy !req
16. I genetically engineered you myself.Copy !req
17. Your code has been modified
by a superior intellect.Copy !req
18. - Now I'm a biological time bomb.
But—Copy !req
19. I'm death, courtesy of Lex Luthor.Copy !req
20. How big is it?Copy !req
21. From where I'm standing,
one can only hope it's? roportional.Copy !req
22. "'Su? erman saves mission to the sun"?Copy !req
23. We don't know that yet, Lois.Copy !req
24. I always write Superman stories
before they happen.Copy !req
25. If you don't know how big the sun is,
go away.Copy !req
26. It's 333,000 times the size of the Earth.Copy !req
27. Uh, uhh— Uh. Wuh.Copy !req
28. I looked it up
on my Su?erman signal watch.Copy !req
29. Thanks, Jimmy.Copy !req
30. It's like a hundred billion nuclear bombs
exploding every second.Copy !req
31. You working undercover on a story?Copy !req
32. No, why?Copy !req
33. Lex Luthor told the world
he'd reformed.Copy !req
34. And despite our best efforts,
the world believed him.Copy !req
35. That's not exactly breaking news, chief.Copy !req
36. No, but this is.Copy !req
37. Luthor's been investing heavily
in water rights.Copy !req
38. kent's boring story.Copy !req
39. The devil's in the details, Lombard.Copy !req
40. Luthor planned to cash in
on a global water shortage...Copy !req
41. a shortage he intended to create
by somehow tampering with the sun.Copy !req
42. This is tomorrow's front page.Copy !req
43. We finally got that son of a bitch.Copy !req
44. I'm a? proaching critical mass.Copy !req
45. Lex, I just got a call
from Media Relations.Copy !req
46. The Daily Planet's asking for a comment.Copy !req
47. Fusion will occur in 30 seconds.Copy !req
48. Are you talking to yourself again?Copy !req
49. I'm remote-controlling a weapon.Copy !req
50. The signal takes nine minutes
to reach the sun.Copy !req
51. I have to coordinate
my transmissions perfectly.Copy !req
52. The sun?Copy !req
53. You were released from jail
to work for your country, not on your own—Copy !req
54. I know I promised not to waste my intellect
on elaborate super deathtra?s.Copy !req
55. I know that.Copy !req
56. Magnetic seals are decoupling.
The shi?'s coming apart.Copy !req
57. I'm a? proaching critical mass.Copy !req
58. Somebody hel? us.Copy !req
59. But I Iooked in the mirror one morning
and realized something.Copy !req
60. I'm getting older, and he isn't.Copy !req
61. Something's gotta be done about that.
Don't you think?Copy !req
62. Fusion will occur in 30 seconds.Copy !req
63. Not in here, it won't.Copy !req
64. Quintum, blow the hatch.Copy !req
65. - Where's that shield coming from?
- It's Superman.Copy !req
66. Somehow, he's extending
his own bioelectric field.Copy !req
67. It seems impossible.Copy !req
68. But it isn't.
You're lifting 200 quintillion tons.Copy !req
69. Even allowing
for the one-sixth normal gravity...Copy !req
70. here on my moon base,
that's three times your record.Copy !req
71. I feel like I could do more.Copy !req
72. No doubt, but that's
the heaviest ap? aratus known to man.Copy !req
73. Add to that the new super-power
you exhibited when you saved me...Copy !req
74. and it's obvious
your body is changing radically.Copy !req
75. Superman, I'm not sure
how to tell you this.Copy !req
76. Tell me straight.Copy !req
77. Your trip to the sun
overexposed your cells to solar radiation...Copy !req
78. more than even your body
can metabolize.Copy !req
79. I see it,
like tiny fireworks beneath my skin.Copy !req
80. Your cells are oversaturated with power.Copy !req
81. They're bursting from within.Copy !req
82. I'm dying.Copy !req
83. I'm sorry, Superman.Copy !req
84. If I hadn't tried to steal fire from the sun,
none of this would have hap? ened.Copy !req
85. Don't apologize.Copy !req
86. - You couldn't have known.
But he knew.Copy !req
87. It was his plan all along.Copy !req
88. Luthor used me to kill you.Copy !req
89. We engineer new forms of humanity here
for the eventual betterment of mankind.Copy !req
90. You're our inspiration, Superman.Copy !req
91. And I promise,
we'll find a way to save you.Copy !req
92. - I need a favor, Dr. Quintum.
- Anything.Copy !req
93. My condition. Don't tell anyone, not yet.Copy !req
94. There are some things I have to do first.Copy !req
95. Great Caesar's ghost!Copy !req
96. "'Wait," he says.
"'Exclusive interview," he says.Copy !req
97. If Clark Kent doesn't show u?
in the next five seconds, he's fired.Copy !req
98. Five, four, three...Copy !req
99. two, one.Copy !req
100. Hold the presses— Oop!Copy !req
101. Where the hell have you been, kent?Copy !req
102. Uh, working on my suntan?Copy !req
103. Freeze. Hands above your head.Copy !req
104. Lex Luthor, you are under arrest
for attempted murder...Copy !req
105. and crimes against humanity.Copy !req
106. By all means, boys, take me away.Copy !req
107. He was smiling when they nabbed him.Copy !req
108. Said something
about friends in high places.Copy !req
109. - That does seem odd.
The Court of International Justice...Copy !req
110. is talking about
reinstating the electric chair just for him.Copy !req
111. Do you ever think about death, Lois?Copy !req
112. Don't be morbid, Smallville.Copy !req
113. I'm so sorry.Copy !req
114. Idiot. Your boyfriend's an idiot.Copy !req
115. How dare you? And he's not my idiot.Copy !req
116. Why, thanks, Lois.Copy !req
117. I don't know where my self-esteem
would be without you.Copy !req
118. AIone, in front of the TV.Copy !req
119. Come on, Clark.Copy !req
120. Thanks for carrying all this stuff.Copy !req
121. Lois, there was something
I wanted to tell you.Copy !req
122. If it's about the trial coverage,
it can wait till tomorrow. I've gotta fly.Copy !req
123. Lois, I have something to tell you.Copy !req
124. You're Clark Kent?Copy !req
125. I'm Clark Kent.Copy !req
126. Sorry, Superman, but you've
got to admit, that's very hard to believe.Copy !req
127. All the years I spent trying to prove
you were Superman—Copy !req
128. You almost had me a couple of times.Copy !req
129. —and you turn around and just tell me?Copy !req
130. What happened to that big golden key
you used to have?Copy !req
131. Didn't think it was secure enough.Copy !req
132. Good afternoon, Superman.
May we be of assistance?Copy !req
133. Please bring Miss Lane's car inside
and repair any damage from the flight.Copy !req
134. That key can't be safe.Copy !req
135. Why don't you give it a try?Copy !req
136. I carved it out of a? iece
of dwarf star material.Copy !req
137. It weighs half a million tons.Copy !req
138. So you're the only one who can lift it.Copy !req
139. I work?retty hard, Lois.Copy !req
140. It's im?ortant to have
someplace private to relax.Copy !req
141. How's the water?Copy !req
142. Mm. Perfect.Copy !req
143. - You're not Iooking, are you?
- Lois.Copy !req
144. Well, to be honest,
if the situation were reversed—Copy !req
145. I'd never take advantage, Lois.Copy !req
146. So is this a date?Copy !req
147. I mean, is all this for my birthday,
or are we about to get serious here?Copy !req
148. Superman?Copy !req
149. These are for you.Copy !req
150. I picked them on Alpha Centauri IV.Copy !req
151. They sing.Copy !req
152. I didn't know you collected modern art.Copy !req
153. Actually, I do, but this is the armory.Copy !req
154. I've confiscated some incredibly
destructive weapons over the years.Copy !req
155. There are things here that can even hurt me,
like this kryptonite Iaser or this gravity gun.Copy !req
156. I hope none of your enemies
find out about this place.Copy !req
157. They'd do anything to kill you.Copy !req
158. That's not a? roblem, Lois.Copy !req
159. My fortress
is only for the people closest to me.Copy !req
160. Come see my new Time Telescope.Copy !req
161. What's it do?Copy !req
162. Lets me talk to my descendants
in the far future.Copy !req
163. That's kal kent,
the Superman of the 84th century.Copy !req
164. 5e fought the mad god Darkseid
in the year 8315.Copy !req
165. I'm still working out the bugs...Copy !req
166. but someday, I'II be able to use it
to stop threats before they ha? pen.Copy !req
167. He looks a Iittle like my dad.Copy !req
168. —a thousand warriors, valiant and true.Copy !req
169. And this is a Sun-Eater.Copy !req
170. I found it wandering in orbit near Jupiter.
Poor thing would have starved.Copy !req
171. - Ech. What do you feed him?
- Suns.Copy !req
172. Little ones I make here
on my Cosmic Anvil.Copy !req
173. He's just a baby.Copy !req
174. Here you go.Copy !req
175. What's in here?Copy !req
176. What the hell?Copy !req
177. - Lois, stay out of there.
- I didn't mean to.Copy !req
178. You can go anywhere in the fortress
except for this room.Copy !req
179. It's off-Iimits.Copy !req
180. It's not too early for dinner.
Why don't we eat?Copy !req
181. What do you think?
I've been restoring it in my spare time.Copy !req
182. It's good to have hobbies, I guess.Copy !req
183. What are you wearing?Copy !req
184. Traditional Kryptonian formalwear.
I made it myself.Copy !req
185. Shi? building, fashion design.
You're a man of many talents.Copy !req
186. I just feel like trying things.Copy !req
187. My trip to the sun,
it not only tripled my strength...Copy !req
188. it tripled my curiosity,
my imagination, my creativity.Copy !req
189. Did it triple your honesty?Copy !req
190. Is that why you're suddenly telling me
the truth about your secret identity?Copy !req
191. No, that's not why.Copy !req
192. But you are telling the truth.Copy !req
193. Yes.Copy !req
194. Okay, how do you explain the time
Clark was a witness...Copy !req
195. in the boss Grimaldi trial
and you were his bodyguard?Copy !req
196. Batman was standing in for me.Copy !req
197. And when Clark presented you
with the key to the city...Copy !req
198. that was Batman too?Copy !req
199. A robot.Copy !req
200. Lois, whenever I misled you,
it was for your own? rotection.Copy !req
201. But now I'm telling you the truth.Copy !req
202. Clark kent and Superman
are one and the same.Copy !req
203. If you're telling me the truth now...Copy !req
204. doesn't that mean
you've been Iying to me for years?Copy !req
205. For the first time,
I see our whole freakish relationship...Copy !req
206. in stark black and white.Copy !req
207. And I have to ask myself,
why would he Iie to me?Copy !req
208. Thirsty.Copy !req
209. All these new powers
and his new super-intellect.Copy !req
210. 5hat if he's grown tired
of his little game...Copy !req
211. fooling people who love him
just to feel superior.Copy !req
212. 5hat if he's brought me here
for some experiment...Copy !req
213. that he's planning in that secret room?Copy !req
214. I need a weapon.Copy !req
215. It all makes sense now.Copy !req
216. He's brought me here to be
the mother of a race of super-children.Copy !req
217. Can't let that happen.Copy !req
218. They'Il grow up and lie to everybody.Copy !req
219. May I be of service, Miss La—?Copy !req
220. He knows I'm here.Copy !req
221. Gotta stop him.Copy !req
222. God forgive me, I've gotta stop him.Copy !req
223. Huh. Tickles.Copy !req
224. What have I done?Copy !req
225. For one thing, you've confirmed
my sus? icion that I'm immune to kryptonite.Copy !req
226. - I'll take that, if you don't mind.
- I don't understand what's ha? pening.Copy !req
227. Robot 7 seems to have malfunctioned.
I'll check him out Iater.Copy !req
228. In the meantime, he left the door open
while I was synthesizing some chemicals.Copy !req
229. They can cause visual distortion
and paranoia.Copy !req
230. I saw a dissection machine.Copy !req
231. A sewing machine,
for weaving indestructible thread.Copy !req
232. The paranoia should? ass momentarily.Copy !req
233. I am feeling better.Copy !req
234. I'm sorry I kept leaving you alone,
but I was making your birthday? resent.Copy !req
235. And it took me longer than I thought
to read and memorize...Copy !req
236. the 6 billion characters
in your genetic code.Copy !req
237. - What are you talking about?
- I guess the surprise is already spoiled.Copy !req
238. This serum is keyed
to your genetic code.Copy !req
239. It will give you powers just like mine
for 24 hours...Copy !req
240. without my vulnerability to Kryptonite
or red sunlight.Copy !req
241. Happy birthday, Lois.Copy !req
242. Well?Copy !req
243. I feel different. Better.Copy !req
244. Is it working?Copy !req
245. Lex Luthor, your insane schemes
have endangered the Iives...Copy !req
246. of every man, woman and child
on this? lanet.Copy !req
247. Before I deliver the verdict of this court...Copy !req
248. do you have anything to say
in your defense?Copy !req
249. Superman made me do it.
He's the one that should be on trial.Copy !req
250. - What?
- Superman on trial?Copy !req
251. Order.Copy !req
252. Get this farce over with,
you?ompous, senile toad.Copy !req
253. You're an amoral sociopathic predator...Copy !req
254. driven by jealousy,
greed and delusions of grandeur.Copy !req
255. AIexander Joseph Luthor...Copy !req
256. this court finds you guilty on all counts
of crimes against humanity.Copy !req
257. - Yes! Justice is served.
- It's about time.Copy !req
258. Does the costume I made for you fit?Copy !req
259. Only a Iittle better than my own skin.Copy !req
260. Funny, I never noticed you
taking my measuremen—Copy !req
261. Ah! What's that noise?Copy !req
262. It's Jimmy's signal watch.Copy !req
263. And I can already see
why he's calling for help.Copy !req
264. Sorry, Lois.Copy !req
265. The last thing I wanted on your special day
was a reptile invasion from the Earth's core.Copy !req
266. I'd have felt cheated
if there weren't monsters.Copy !req
267. Come on, let's save Metropolis.Copy !req
268. I think we're a Iittle late.Copy !req
269. Metropolis, Krull will eat your children.Copy !req
270. How about you eat this?Copy !req
271. Ha! Look who it is.Copy !req
272. Samson.Copy !req
273. Superman. Yo-ho.Copy !req
274. He won't be bothering Metropolis again
for a while.Copy !req
275. His Iungs just burst. Excuse me.Copy !req
276. Always a joy to see you again.Copy !req
277. Why are you here, Samson?Copy !req
278. I thought you and your no-necked partner
were busy time-traveling.Copy !req
279. That we were, fair Lois.Copy !req
280. Only your Ioveliness could tempt me back
to this backward century.Copy !req
281. Atlas too.Copy !req
282. - Why are you here?
- They think this is a singles bar.Copy !req
283. Sorry, gentlemen, the Iady's with me.Copy !req
284. That's the lady's decision, is it not?Copy !req
285. That's it.
I pro?ose a challenge of the ages.Copy !req
286. We'II each perform a super-feat
in the Iady's honor.Copy !req
287. Yes, and the most incredible feat
wins her.Copy !req
288. Wins me?Copy !req
289. Single girls with brains,
beauty and super-powers...Copy !req
290. are rare in any century, Lois.Copy !req
291. My super-feat is obvious.Copy !req
292. I defeated krull in single combat,
foiling his war on Metropolis.Copy !req
293. And I subdued his entire army.Copy !req
294. There doesn't seem to be much left
for you to do, Superman.Copy !req
295. How about we get
these would-be conquerors...Copy !req
296. back to the center of the Earth
where they belong?Copy !req
297. The subterranosaur people
have ever feared...Copy !req
298. and respected you, Superman.Copy !req
299. My son will punished be for his crimes.Copy !req
300. But Krull speaks of him goaded be
into his attack...Copy !req
301. by man Samson.Copy !req
302. I suspected as much, Your Highness.
Please allow me to deal with it.Copy !req
303. Can you imagine?Copy !req
304. A race of dinosaur men
who esca? ed extinction...Copy !req
305. by moving to the center of the Earth.Copy !req
306. Come with me, and I'II show you wonders
far beyond what you've seen.Copy !req
307. A small token of my affection.Copy !req
308. The radioactive crown jewels
of the Ultras? hinx.Copy !req
309. Careful, Lois.Copy !req
310. PIutonium-240 is Iethal.Copy !req
311. Not for the next 24 hours it isn't.Copy !req
312. Look, guys, I'm flattered.Copy !req
313. But you'd have to go a long way
to outdo Superman.Copy !req
314. You would s? urn my affections
for a dalliance with this—?Copy !req
315. Careful.Copy !req
316. If I win your heart...Copy !req
317. I'll make the Titans kneel before you
and give testimony to your Ioveliness.Copy !req
318. I'll crush diamonds in my mighty fist
and make them into sparkling wine.Copy !req
319. Wow.Copy !req
320. That's day one.Copy !req
321. Lois, a moment, please?Copy !req
322. Why are you flirting with them?Copy !req
323. Maybe I'm teaching you a Iesson
for im?ersonating Clark kent.Copy !req
324. I'm not impersonating Clark kent,
I am Clark Kent.Copy !req
325. Anyway, you can win any contest
those losers can dream up.Copy !req
326. Why don't you humor me?
It's my birthday.Copy !req
327. I don't like you much, Samson.
Trouble always seems to follow you.Copy !req
328. What do I have to do to make you
keep your hands off of my girl?Copy !req
329. I'm a time traveler, and I hap? en to know
she won't be your girl for much longer.Copy !req
330. All's fair in love and war.Copy !req
331. Anyway, pretty soon,
you'II be too busy with your challenge...Copy !req
332. to even think about dating.Copy !req
333. Forget it, Samson.Copy !req
334. Lois and I are going to a? arty in Atlantis
in less than an hour.Copy !req
335. I sincerely doubt it.Copy !req
336. What's this, Atlas,
part of my birthday surprise?Copy !req
337. Since we, uh, borrowed that necklace
from the UItrasphinx...Copy !req
338. he's been hounding us
like one of the Furies.Copy !req
339. Chasing us throughout time and s? ace.Copy !req
340. Legend has it
that just before your death...Copy !req
341. you performed the most amazing feats
of your career.Copy !req
342. Some scholars say that among them,
you answered the unanswerable question.Copy !req
343. What are you talking about?Copy !req
344. The UItrasphinx is here.Copy !req
345. Return what was stolen.Copy !req
346. Lois.Copy !req
347. Halt.Copy !req
348. She exists now
in a condition of quantum uncertainty.Copy !req
349. Both alive and dead.Copy !req
350. The universe asks you
an unanswerable question.Copy !req
351. To answer correctly is life.Copy !req
352. Failure to answer correctly is death.Copy !req
353. This is my judgment.Copy !req
354. You stole that necklace.Copy !req
355. Don't you see?Copy !req
356. We couldn't fight the Ultras? hinx
without hel? so we let it chase us here.Copy !req
357. But we meant no harm to Lois,
I swear to Iiving Zeus.Copy !req
358. And I swear too.Copy !req
359. If she dies,
you're both going to the Phantom Zone.Copy !req
360. UItrasphinx, let's hear it.Copy !req
361. What happens when the irresistible force
meets the immovable object?Copy !req
362. They surrender.Copy !req
363. Res? onse acceptable.Copy !req
364. Superman.Copy !req
365. I was alive and dead at the same time.
My God.Copy !req
366. It's okay, I've got you.
Come on, we're going dancing.Copy !req
367. Wait a minute, what about our contest?Copy !req
368. Answering a riddle
is hardly what I'd call a feat of strength.Copy !req
369. I agree. How about I wrestle you for her?Copy !req
370. Or is the mighty Man of Steel a coward?Copy !req
371. Even the shield on his chest is yellow.Copy !req
372. Okay, that's enough, both of you.Copy !req
373. Then we have a deal?Copy !req
374. If I win, you both leave
the 21 st century right now.Copy !req
375. I'll be leaving, all right,
with the beauteous Lois Lane on my arm.Copy !req
376. Not if I beat him first.Copy !req
377. I'm sorry, have you two already started?Copy !req
378. Today was perfect.
We did everything I ever wanted to do.Copy !req
379. You know
what I've always wanted to do?Copy !req
380. I mean, from the first day we met.Copy !req
381. What?Copy !req
382. My birthday gift's wearing off.Copy !req
383. I can't see radio waves anymore.Copy !req
384. I can't hear the stars singing.Copy !req
385. I'm tired and sore all over,
like I've been dancing all night.Copy !req
386. Thanks for letting me
s? end a day in your world.Copy !req
387. You know, I do other things.Copy !req
388. I mean, besides being Superman.Copy !req
389. You do a great Clark Kent imitation.Copy !req
390. You almost had me fooled.Copy !req
391. Wait till I tell him about all this.Copy !req
392. Lois?Copy !req
393. I was aware
of your lumbering? resence, Kent.Copy !req
394. Just finishing work on my Bibliobot,
a roving Iibrary.Copy !req
395. Read A Tale of Two Cities.Copy !req
396. It was the best of times, it was the—Copy !req
397. Call it off.Copy !req
398. - It was the age of wisdom—
- Watch your step, you clumsy ox.Copy !req
399. You write like a poet,
but you move like a Iandslide.Copy !req
400. I'm sure I had my dignity
when I came in here.Copy !req
401. Your clumsiness appears
to have saved me from electrocution.Copy !req
402. AIbeit temporarily.Copy !req
403. Probably my rubber-soled shoes.Copy !req
404. I saw that "'Da Vinci of Crime" headline.Copy !req
405. It seems like a compliment,
but there's a sneer behind it.Copy !req
406. Reporters don't write the headlines
to their stories, Lex.Copy !req
407. Hmm.Copy !req
408. You coming, kent?Copy !req
409. He sickens me.Copy !req
410. That insipid boyish grin,
the smug self-regard.Copy !req
411. Tell the truth.
Doesn't his very existence diminish you?Copy !req
412. Diminish us all?Copy !req
413. Our jobs don't really overlap.Copy !req
414. What are you writing about me?
Give me that.Copy !req
415. Code? I'll deci? her it
in less than a minute.Copy !req
416. - I—
- It's shorthand, Lex.Copy !req
417. What kind of ridiculous affectation
is that for a man?Copy !req
418. Can you imagine a better world, kent?Copy !req
419. That's all I've ever asked.Copy !req
420. In a world without Superman,
the unattainable Lois Lane...Copy !req
421. might have noticed good old Clark,
pining away in the corner.Copy !req
422. You keep talking about me,
but I'm here to interview you.Copy !req
423. I'm just saying.Copy !req
424. A strapping farm boy with brains, integrity,
no discernible style of his own?Copy !req
425. You're a? rize catch
for a cynical city girl.Copy !req
426. Why haven't you filed an ap? eal?Copy !req
427. But with him around,
you're a? arody of a man.Copy !req
428. A dullard, a cripple.Copy !req
429. Next to Su?erman, even Lex Luthor's
greatness is overshadowed.Copy !req
430. Are you trying to intimidate me?Copy !req
431. I'm trying to educate you.Copy !req
432. We all fall short
of his sickening inhuman perfection.Copy !req
433. Feel that, Kent.Copy !req
434. Real muscle.
Not the gift of alien biochemistry.Copy !req
435. The product of hard work.Copy !req
436. You don't really act like a man
facing the end of his life.Copy !req
437. No, I don't.Copy !req
438. So how's Superman these days?Copy !req
439. Pale? Tired?Copy !req
440. - Weak?
- He seems fine.Copy !req
441. Ah. But he's not.Copy !req
442. What would you do
if you had his powers?Copy !req
443. - Help?eople.
- You probably would.Copy !req
444. You Iack the imagination
to see the alternatives.Copy !req
445. AIternatives?Copy !req
446. To truth, justice and all the other things
you can't weigh or measure.Copy !req
447. To every abstract notion he personifies.Copy !req
448. I'll kill you, Luthor.Copy !req
449. Suck you dry.Copy !req
450. kill you.Copy !req
451. You don't scare me, Parasite.Copy !req
452. Brain beats brawn every time.Copy !req
453. That glass isn't leaded.Copy !req
454. Power.Copy !req
455. More power than I ever had.Copy !req
456. Look out.Copy !req
457. What the—?Copy !req
458. Find the power.Copy !req
459. Fire.Copy !req
460. Get them.Copy !req
461. Gotta get away from him.Copy !req
462. What's the matter, kent?
Afraid he'll absorb your cowardice?Copy !req
463. - Come on!
- Get them!Copy !req
464. Let's go!Copy !req
465. Incoming!Copy !req
466. Find the power.Copy !req
467. That's tear gas, you idiot.Copy !req
468. There you are.Copy !req
469. If you wanna survive this, stay with me.Copy !req
470. Get them.
- Run.Copy !req
471. Yeah, let's go.
Come on.Copy !req
472. I should have left you to those animals,
kent, but I need you alive.Copy !req
473. I need you to tell my story.Copy !req
474. The story of a man who refused
to bend his knee to the alien invader.Copy !req
475. Look out, he's coming right at us.Copy !req
476. Power, like the sun.Copy !req
477. That won't stop him, he's absorbing
the kinetic energy of the bullets.Copy !req
478. Pray to Einstein for a miracle, kent.Copy !req
479. Earthquake.Copy !req
480. Attack me?Copy !req
481. You know what happens
when you take on Lex Luthor?Copy !req
482. The same thing that's gonna happen
to Su?erman.Copy !req
483. I've always liked you, Kent.Copy !req
484. You're humble, modest,
comically uncoordinated.Copy !req
485. Human.Copy !req
486. In short, you're everything he's not.Copy !req
487. I'm going to give you a present.Copy !req
488. Did you know that Moby-Dick
can be recited at a frequency so high...Copy !req
489. that it becomes a sonic drill
capable of carving through solid rock?Copy !req
490. Call me Ishmael.Copy !req
491. Some years
ago, never mind how long precisely...Copy !req
492. Stop.Copy !req
493. You can esca?e any time you want.Copy !req
494. I don't want.Copy !req
495. I'm going to the chair fulfilled,
knowing that I killed Superman.Copy !req
496. Poisoned him with an overdose...Copy !req
497. of the same solar rays
that give him his powers.Copy !req
498. You can't? rove any of this.Copy !req
499. It's the truth, Kent.Copy !req
500. My gift to you.Copy !req
501. He doesn't want the world
to know he's dying, of course.Copy !req
502. So break the news gently.Copy !req
503. A tasteful 140-? oint headline
should suffice.Copy !req
504. This is as far as I go.Copy !req
505. My Iovely niece, Nasthalthia,
will take you the rest of the way.Copy !req
506. Mr. kent.Copy !req
507. She's 16, speaks 30 Ianguages
and aspires to someday rule the world.Copy !req
508. I may let her, after I'm done with it.Copy !req
509. It's such a waste. You and Superman
could have been friends...Copy !req
510. and instead you're going to die.Copy !req
511. Ah, but he'll die first.Copy !req
512. Where to now, Mr. kent?Copy !req
513. Deep space.Copy !req
514. Why?Copy !req
515. Do you know what this is?Copy !req
516. It's the bottle city of Kandor.Copy !req
517. One of your enemies stole it
from krypton, before it exploded.Copy !req
518. Brainiac. He used his technology
to miniaturize the greatest city...Copy !req
519. of my home world.Copy !req
520. I've been trying to restore
the thousands of? eople who Iive there...Copy !req
521. to regular size.Copy !req
522. You've found a way.Copy !req
523. No.Copy !req
524. But I have found a suitable planet
for them to colonize.Copy !req
525. And I'm taking them there.Copy !req
526. The thing is, it's very far away.Copy !req
527. Even under normal circumstances...Copy !req
528. it would take me three weeks
to fly there and back.Copy !req
529. In my current condition,
it'II take longer than that.Copy !req
530. Maybe longer than I have.Copy !req
531. I don't understand.Copy !req
532. It's what I've been keeping from you.Copy !req
533. I'm dying, Lois.Copy !req
534. You won't die.
You'II find a way out of this.Copy !req
535. We'II be together. Our children
will go flying in Metropolis Park.Copy !req
536. Promise me.Copy !req
537. We can't have children.
Our biology is too different.Copy !req
538. Whatever hap? ens,
we'll never have more than this.Copy !req
539. What do you always say?Copy !req
540. "'There's always a way.'"Copy !req
541. I'm sorry, Lois.Copy !req
542. The work doesn't sto?
just because I'm dying.Copy !req
543. Take your people to their new home.Copy !req
544. When you get back,
I'll be right here waiting.Copy !req
545. Look, up in the sky.Copy !req
546. Sorry if I startled you.Copy !req
547. It's been a long tri?
and I'm feeling a bit under the weather.Copy !req
548. What happened to Metropolis?Copy !req
549. Great Caesar's ghost.Copy !req
550. kent, where have you been
for the last two months?Copy !req
551. I went to your funeral.Copy !req
552. I was accidentally buried underneath
Stryker's Island during the prison riot.Copy !req
553. Lucky for me, there was
a fully stocked bomb shelter down there.Copy !req
554. To make a long story short,
Superman heard me calling for help—Copy !req
555. Superman's alive? I knew it.Copy !req
556. Has he seen this?Copy !req
557. Refreshing.Copy !req
558. And beautiful.Copy !req
559. A fitting spot for the ca?ital
of new krypton.Copy !req
560. I think we could just as easily
clear the apes out of Metropolis...Copy !req
561. and build there.Copy !req
562. If you prefer, my love.Copy !req
563. Hello there.Copy !req
564. - Did you hear something?
- The wind?Copy !req
565. Bar-EI and Lilo. I just read all about you.Copy !req
566. Astronauts from Kry? ton
who were lost in space for decades.Copy !req
567. It's an honor to meet you,
I'm from Krypton too.Copy !req
568. We know who you are, Superman.Copy !req
569. We found Earth
by tracking the warp signature...Copy !req
570. of the vessel that brought you here.Copy !req
571. I don't know why you bothered to return.Copy !req
572. This planet's my home, I was raised here.Copy !req
573. But my kryptonian name is Kal-EI.Copy !req
574. I'm the son of Jor-El.
We're probably related.Copy !req
575. I remember Jor-EI. A weak man.Copy !req
576. An ineffectual dreamer.Copy !req
577. The son follows the father.Copy !req
578. You could have built a new Kry? ton
in this squalor.Copy !req
579. I don't have any right
to impose my will over—Copy !req
580. You just moved into my fortress?Copy !req
581. Shouldn't have left the key lying around.Copy !req
582. We had every right.Copy !req
583. The powers that we gain
from this world's yellow sun.Copy !req
584. The superiority
of our Kry? tonian culture.Copy !req
585. You were remiss not taking
similar Iiberties with the rest of the planet.Copy !req
586. You tore down the statue of my parents.Copy !req
587. We celebrate the life of krypton,
not her death.Copy !req
588. This whole place reeks of morbidity.Copy !req
589. Even Krypton's criminally insane,
forever trapped in the Phantom Zone...Copy !req
590. evidence more nobility
than the best of the human a? es.Copy !req
591. You should be ashamed.Copy !req
592. I was thinking maybe
you could replace me after I'm gone...Copy !req
593. but you don't have the best interests
of this planet's people at heart.Copy !req
594. And this is you
puffing u? your chest at me, is it?Copy !req
595. You've gone native.Copy !req
596. It's disgusting.Copy !req
597. You've broken the moon.Copy !req
598. I think you looked better in the dress.Copy !req
599. I didn't realize Kry? tonian fashion
was so popular.Copy !req
600. kryptonian everything.
It's a new world, Mr. kent.Copy !req
601. I know you're behind me, Steve.
So whatever you're doing, just sto— Ah!Copy !req
602. I missed you, kent. You're comedy gold.Copy !req
603. Your hairpiece is on fire.Copy !req
604. I don't wear a— Ah!Copy !req
605. That's gotta be a little embarrassing.Copy !req
606. So this is where Superman hides.Copy !req
607. It's worse than I'd thought.Copy !req
608. You choose to disguise your greatness...Copy !req
609. and cavort with the apes
as one of their own.Copy !req
610. Have you no dignity?Copy !req
611. I'm loaded with dignity.Copy !req
612. I can see how you'd make the mistake...Copy !req
613. but, despite this great bod,
I'm not Superman.Copy !req
614. Call Superman with your signal watch.Copy !req
615. - Where are you going?
- Nosebleed.Copy !req
616. Enough.Copy !req
617. This degrading impersonation will cease.Copy !req
618. - Reveal your Kry? tonian colors or—
Bar-EI.Copy !req
619. I feel so— Uh.Copy !req
620. No.Copy !req
621. I've got her.Copy !req
622. Take your naked hands away from her.Copy !req
623. I can't fly.Copy !req
624. I'm so weak. Why do I feel so weak?Copy !req
625. You said you retraced the? ath
my ship took to get to Earth.Copy !req
626. That means you?assed through
krypton's debris field.Copy !req
627. The minerals in your bodies
have been slowly turning to kryptonite.Copy !req
628. I don't need help. Not from you.Copy !req
629. Bar-EI.Copy !req
630. I can't see.Copy !req
631. I've done what I can
to make her comfortable.Copy !req
632. But I can't neutralize
the kryptonite in your bodies.Copy !req
633. Not in time.Copy !req
634. After everything we've done,
you still show us kindness.Copy !req
635. My Earth parents taught me forgiveness.Copy !req
636. Humanity has a lot to teach us.Copy !req
637. Perha?s.Copy !req
638. kal-El, son of Kry? ton,
I'm proud to call you my kin.Copy !req
639. Our greatness Iives on in you.Copy !req
640. We don't have much time.Copy !req
641. There's a way to save us both.Copy !req
642. Surely you've thought of it.Copy !req
643. Yes.Copy !req
644. But it has to be your choice.Copy !req
645. I'll try to find a way to cure you.Copy !req
646. But your own time is short.Copy !req
647. Do what you must.Copy !req
648. Send us to the Phantom Zone.Copy !req
649. Forgiveness.Copy !req
650. You win, Luthor.Copy !req
651. I'm dying.Copy !req
652. The world is yours...Copy !req
653. at least for the three weeks
you have left before they execute you.Copy !req
654. So here's a challenge.Copy !req
655. All the things you said you would have
done to benefit humanity...Copy !req
656. if I hadn't been in your way?Copy !req
657. Now's the time to prove it.Copy !req
658. Lex, I know there's good in you.Copy !req
659. You showed me everything
I needed to know...Copy !req
660. so I could go on without you.Copy !req
661. I just hope I've shown them the same.Copy !req
662. Clark?Copy !req
663. You weren't going to sneak in and out
without visiting your mother?Copy !req
664. Of course not.
I just wanted to leave a flower.Copy !req
665. It's Kry? tonian, it'll never wither.Copy !req
666. You look thin. Are you sick?Copy !req
667. Ma, I'm Superman.Copy !req
668. And I'm your mother.Copy !req
669. You take better care of yourself.Copy !req
670. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
671. - Do you miss him?
- Every day.Copy !req
672. But his spirit is always with us.Copy !req
673. So you have time to eat,
or do you have to go save the world?Copy !req
674. I love you, Ma.Copy !req
675. I love you too, son.Copy !req
676. Ah.Copy !req
677. Through this holy anointing...Copy !req
678. may the Lord,
in his love and mercy, help you—Copy !req
679. Get away from me, Padre.
You stink of the irrational.Copy !req
680. Typical.Copy !req
681. Superman doesn't even bother to show.Copy !req
682. I'd planned for him to be here
to see this.Copy !req
683. I'm sure he'II hear all about it.Copy !req
684. You knuckle-dragging morons.
It was almost too easy.Copy !req
685. My last request?Copy !req
686. That cocktail was
a 24-hour super-? ower serum.Copy !req
687. My turn.Copy !req
688. I'd be pleased to clean
the Sun-Eater's pen for you, Su?erman.Copy !req
689. Just my way of saying goodbye
to the Iittle fella.Copy !req
690. He might be one of the most
dangerous creatures in the universe...Copy !req
691. but I'm still going to, mm...Copy !req
692. - ... miss him.
- Are you all right?Copy !req
693. Superman's journal, final entry.Copy !req
694. My cells are breaking down
at an alarming rate.Copy !req
695. I'm running out of time.Copy !req
696. I have few regrets.
My life has been a wonder.Copy !req
697. I've traveled across space and time,
seen and done things beyond imagination.Copy !req
698. I had parents who Ioved me,
good friends like Pete, Lana and Jimmy.Copy !req
699. I got to help people,
while living an incredible adventure.Copy !req
700. I Ioved a good woman.Copy !req
701. And she loved me back.Copy !req
702. I'm tired.Copy !req
703. But I still have one more job to do.Copy !req
704. That was uncalled-for.Copy !req
705. Couldn't resist.Copy !req
706. I've got his su?er-powers for 24 hours,
courtesy of a serum he created.Copy !req
707. - How?
- His fortress is less than entirely secure.Copy !req
708. Cool. When do I get my super-powers?Copy !req
709. The same day that I can trust you
with the car keys.Copy !req
710. On your feet.
I've set the scum on Stryker's free.Copy !req
711. They'II kee? the police busy
with their rioting.Copy !req
712. And so will you.Copy !req
713. Remote control for my terror weapons.Copy !req
714. Have fun.Copy !req
715. If you have all his powers,
why bother with all this?Copy !req
716. You wouldn't ask
if you'd ever seen him in a fight.Copy !req
717. And I have fought him? lenty.Copy !req
718. That's why I've made arrangements
for a little extra insurance.Copy !req
719. Unlike me, Su?erman loses his powers
under red sunlight, right?Copy !req
720. Friends in high places.Copy !req
721. Where is Superman?Copy !req
722. Do you fear the tyrant sun?Copy !req
723. Face the scourge of worlds.Copy !req
724. Luthor's secret ally
has finally revealed himself.Copy !req
725. My last adventure is about to begin.Copy !req
726. This is Superman, signing out.Copy !req
727. You will not stand alone.Copy !req
728. One of us will remain behind,
to maintain your fortress for posterity.Copy !req
729. The rest of us will fight by your side.Copy !req
730. I couldn't ask for greater Ioyalty.Copy !req
731. Solaris is a living solar computer.Copy !req
732. He poisons healthy stars, making them emit
blue Iight that he can metabolize.Copy !req
733. Set your receivers to 430 terahertz,
and you'll be able to hear him.Copy !req
734. Impossible, I made your sun red.Copy !req
735. You should have no?owers.Copy !req
736. I see now.Copy !req
737. Your covering protects you
from red sunlight.Copy !req
738. But it cannot long survive this heat.Copy !req
739. It should work long enough
for me to take care of you.Copy !req
740. No, your sun is dying...Copy !req
741. but I kill you first.Copy !req
742. Stop this.Copy !req
743. Whatever Luthor offered you,
he'll betray you.Copy !req
744. I betray Luthor first.Copy !req
745. I will eat your sun,
and replace it in the sky.Copy !req
746. Your peo? le will pray to me,
or die in the cold dark.Copy !req
747. - Save yourselves.
No.Copy !req
748. Solaris overrode Robot 7's program.Copy !req
749. Robot 7 stole super-serum for Luthor.Copy !req
750. Robot 7 must atone.Copy !req
751. Forgive me.Copy !req
752. What is this?Copy !req
753. The natural enemy of a rogue sun.Copy !req
754. Meet my pet Sun-Eater.Copy !req
755. Abomination! Ohhh!Copy !req
756. Give up, Solaris.Copy !req
757. You can't beat him, there's no need—Copy !req
758. You killed him.Copy !req
759. The sky's normal again.Copy !req
760. Superman must have—Copy !req
761. Get out of the car, Miss Lane.
Everybody, now.Copy !req
762. Jimmy OIsen and Lois Lane, right?Copy !req
763. You two are so?ostmortem.Copy !req
764. Mercy.Copy !req
765. I don't think I have any left.Copy !req
766. Give me one good reason
I shouldn't vaporize you.Copy !req
767. The front-page story we're gonna write
about you for tomorrow's Daily Planet?Copy !req
768. Hmm.Copy !req
769. kent, what's the matter with you?
You look like hell.Copy !req
770. I saw the whole thing, Perry.Copy !req
771. I've got tomorrow's big story.Copy !req
772. Just finished it.Copy !req
773. Clark.Copy !req
774. - He's not breathing.
- No.Copy !req
775. He doesn't have a heartbeat, Lois.Copy !req
776. Look at that.Copy !req
777. He's the least of your worries.Copy !req
778. You get the hell out of here, Luthor!Copy !req
779. That's no way to talk
to the future savior of the Earth.Copy !req
780. Who, by the way,
you sent to the electric chair.Copy !req
781. The truth sent you to the chair.Copy !req
782. I don't believe in truth.Copy !req
783. You can't measure it
or hold it in your hands.Copy !req
784. I mean, what is truth?Copy !req
785. Lex, stop it.
I know what the power's like.Copy !req
786. It's intoxicating, but there's more to it.Copy !req
787. Use those super-senses.Copy !req
788. Just think for a minute.Copy !req
789. You can sto? trying to stall me.Copy !req
790. Ah!Copy !req
791. And you won't be needing
that infuriating signal watch any longer.Copy !req
792. Superman won't be coming
to the rescue.Copy !req
793. Too bad, because without him,
we're screwed.Copy !req
794. Look at these pictures from our
Singapore desk, the sun is turning blue.Copy !req
795. Don't you get it? Solaris double-crossed you
and poisoned the sun.Copy !req
796. You vain, stupid Iittle man.Copy !req
797. Stupid?Copy !req
798. Lois.Copy !req
799. Anyone else feel like acting out
against the most powerful man on Earth?Copy !req
800. I do.Copy !req
801. What are you trying to hide from me?Copy !req
802. Gravity gun.Copy !req
803. Clark?Copy !req
804. I told you, Lois.Copy !req
805. Superman.Copy !req
806. Did you ever think
that it would end like this?Copy !req
807. Me looking down on you?Copy !req
808. Actually, I had the whole thing
figured to end pretty much exactly like this.Copy !req
809. I've been on to you
since Robot 7 first malfunctioned.Copy !req
810. Hard to stay in the air?Copy !req
811. I just increased
your personal gravity 500 times.Copy !req
812. That's not why I used the gravity gun, I—Copy !req
813. No.Copy !req
814. If I die, you die first.Copy !req
815. Look.Copy !req
816. Welcome to the new world.Copy !req
817. Lay down your weapons
and you won't be hurt.Copy !req
818. I'll be moving into the White House
Iater today.Copy !req
819. I'll make my formal declaration then.Copy !req
820. Ooh.Copy !req
821. Can we have a show trial
before we put these traitors to death?Copy !req
822. - Are you okay?
- Better than okay.Copy !req
823. I can see
the entire electromagnetic s? ectrum...Copy !req
824. and those must be atoms,
little clouds of possibility.Copy !req
825. Einstein couldn't connect
the gravitational force to the other three...Copy !req
826. but if he could have seen this...Copy !req
827. It's so obvious.Copy !req
828. Uncle Lex?Copy !req
829. The fundamental forces
are yoked by consciousness.Copy !req
830. Everything's connected.Copy !req
831. Everyone.Copy !req
832. And this is how he sees things
all the time.Copy !req
833. Every day.Copy !req
834. I don't know
if I should be worried or mortified.Copy !req
835. It's a cruel joke.Copy !req
836. The mechanistic clockwork of reality...Copy !req
837. hinging on a? recious
impossible defiance of entro?y, on life.Copy !req
838. And the clockwork doesn't care.Copy !req
839. It's like— Like it's all just us,
in here together.Copy !req
840. We're all we've got.Copy !req
841. You are embarrassing me
beyond therapy.Copy !req
842. You'II have to forgive him, Nasthalthia.Copy !req
843. He just figured out
how everything works.Copy !req
844. Gravity warps time.Copy !req
845. Superman tra? ped me
in a relativistic conundrum.Copy !req
846. He's trying to say his 24 hours
of su?er-powers just ran out.Copy !req
847. But it's only been a couple of hours.Copy !req
848. Relative to us.Copy !req
849. The gravity gun sped u? his clock a little.Copy !req
850. You think I didn't make more of the—?Copy !req
851. Looking for this?Copy !req
852. Give it back. I saw everything.Copy !req
853. I saw how to save the world.Copy !req
854. I could have made everyone see.Copy !req
855. If it wasn't for you,
I could have saved the world.Copy !req
856. If it had mattered to you, Luthor...Copy !req
857. you could have saved the world
years ago.Copy !req
858. You're right.Copy !req
859. Oh, your poor face.Copy !req
860. No one can repair the sun but me, Lois.Copy !req
861. I'm turning into pure energy...Copy !req
862. and I only have one chance
to save the world.Copy !req
863. That's all you've ever needed.Copy !req
864. I love you, Lois Lane...Copy !req
865. until the end of time.Copy !req
866. Are you sure you don't wanna s? eak
at the memorial service?Copy !req
867. Thousands of? eople are there
paying their respects.Copy !req
868. He's not dead.Copy !req
869. He's up there fixing the sun.Copy !req
870. And when he's done, he'll be back.Copy !req
871. And I'll be here waiting for him.Copy !req
872. Doomed planet.Copy !req
873. Des? erate scientists.Copy !req
874. Last hope.Copy !req
875. kindly couple.Copy !req
876. Superman.Copy !req
877. We all know the story, Luthor.Copy !req
878. Why did you ask to see me?Copy !req
879. If this is an escape attempt—Copy !req
880. I'd already be free.Copy !req
881. No, I've already accepted
my imminent execution.Copy !req
882. This is a confession.Copy !req
883. Forgive me, doctor, for I have sinned.Copy !req
884. A lot.Copy !req
885. You killed him.Copy !req
886. And my deathbed claims that I've seen
the error of my ways can't change that.Copy !req
887. But there is one thing that I can do
to honor his memory.Copy !req
888. "'A-A-C-C-A-T-T-A'"...Copy !req
889. - Is that—?
- A map of Superman's genetic code.Copy !req
890. I reverse-engineered it
from his 24-hour super-serum.Copy !req
891. I also finally figured out
how to replicate it.Copy !req
892. No.Copy !req
893. Of course, it will require an ovum
from a healthy human woman.Copy !req
894. They always said they wanted children.Copy !req
895. He's not dead.Copy !req
896. He's up there fixing the sun.Copy !req
897. And when he's done, he'II be back.Copy !req
