Quotes 

• Superman : Come on, Bruce, I know a burger place in Metropolis that has the best fries on the east coast. And the milkshakes are so thick...

  [Deadman takes control of Superman's body] 

  Superman : I need your help!

  Wonder Woman : That's pretty thick!

• Superman : Is everything okay?

  Wonder Woman : Well, I'm sort of missing Flash's obligatory joke about how Grodd made a monkey out of us.

  Superman : Just couldn't let it go unsaid.

  Wonder Woman : Obligatory!

• Superman : [possessed by Deadman]  Gorilla City?

  Wonder Woman : A hidden city of talking, hyper-intelligent gorillas, with technology far beyond anything humans have developed.

  Superman : Come on!

  Wonder Woman : You're a ghost from the Himalayas, having trouble believing this?

  Superman : Point.

• Wonder Woman : [after Deadman leaves her body]  Next time, ask permission!

• Wonder Woman : [possessed by Deadman]  You killed my teacher. My friend.

  Devil Ray : You'll have to be more specific, lady. I've killed a lot of people.

• Batman : First sign of Luthor since Shayera saw him on Blackhawk Island. What's he up to?

  Wonder Woman : This seems like it might be bigger than Luthor. Agent Faraday told me Devil Ray escaped from prison. And Bizarro showing up again... and all the odd teams of previously unaffiliated villains...

  Batman : Whose brains have conveniently been shorting out when we question them.

  Mr. Terrific : Do you guys remember the one bit of information J'onn was able to pull out of Giganta's mind before it shut down?

  Wonder Woman : Grodd. Think he's put together a new Secret Society?

  Batman : Except this time, he's doing a better job of keeping the secret.

  Wonder Woman : So how do we find them?

  Superman : [possesed by Deadman]  I wish I could help. I can feel the psychic screams of the souls they stole. But I can't pinpoint a location. All I get are images of Africa. I know. A continent doesn't much narrow things down, but it's all I can...

  Wonder Woman : Gorilla City. He's gone back home.

• Lex Luthor : Rampage, what's wrong with you?

  Tala : [using her powers]  She has been possessed.

  [conjuring two circular bands] 

  Tala : Out, undead spirit!

  Rampage : [regaining her bearings as Deadman is forced out of her]  What just happened?

• Child Monk : This humble one begs your forgiveness... but no outsider is permitted in the temple of Nanda Parbat.

  Atomic Skull : That's cute, kid. Get out of the way or I'll spank you.

  Child Monk : [catching a thrown punch]  This would also not be permitted.

  [dodging another punch, he kicks Atomic Skull into the air and knocks him backward with a hard shoulder thrust] 

  Devil Ray : [chuckling]  Little Bruce Lee's got your number. Lucky thing you've got us for backup.

  Child Monk : This humble one would not presume to fight you alone.

  [three more children land behind him, ready for action] 

• Superman : [possessed by Deadman]  I need your help on a mission of vengeance. Now, don't be alarmed, but I'm not Superman. I'm...

  Batman : A ghost, inhabiting his body. Is that you, Boston?

  Superman : Hiya, Bats.

  [to Diana] 

  Superman : When I'm working, people call me Deadman.

  Wonder Woman : You know this... ghost?

  Superman : Yeah, Batman helped me solve my own murder a while back. Now I need your help again.

  Wonder Woman : If you hurt Superman, I'll...

  Superman : Relax. He doesn't even know I'm in here.

  Batman : We can't see or hear him otherwise. Once he leaves, Superman will be fine.

  Superman : It's like he says.

  Batman : Why are you still around? I thought once your murder was solved, your exile was ended.

  Superman : You and me both. You know how they say "no good deed goes unpunished"? I guess I shot my mouth off to the wrong deity.

• Superman : [possessed by Deadman]  A bunch of supervillains busted into Nanda Parbat and stole a mystic totem filled with the souls of hundreds of monks. And they killed the master.

  Wonder Woman : [Bruce leans over and supports himself on a table]  Batman?

  Superman : He knew the master even before I did.

  Batman : He was one of my martial arts teachers.

  Superman : [flexing his biceps]  With all the power in this body, it'd be easy to punish the men responsible. If I could find them.

  Batman : That's not the master's way. Or yours. We'll find them, and we'll see that justice is done. Not vengeance.

  Superman : Yeah. Fun to think about, though.
