Quotes

Despero : You are a most impressive human. But don't you realize there's no way you and your motley crew can defeat me? Gardner is a loose cannon ruled by his ego. The dog is an idiot. And Sinestro...
Batman : Is the one man I could completely depend on.
Despero : Would you care to hear the full story behind Sinestro's imprisonment? I learned your comrade not only attacked the Okaaran warlords after they'd surrendered, he callously destroyed every living being on those ships. After which, he created a puppet government, loyal only to him, on the very world he was sworn to protect. Sinestro and I both seek to impose order on a chaotic, meaningless universe. He will be a wonderful soldier in my cause. As will you.

Despero : Submit to me willingly, Jordan, and together, we will bring forth a golden age unlike any ever seen before.
Hal Jordan : You mean an age of servitude? Where every individual is just an extension of your mind? No, thanks. And I won't let you use the rest of the Corps against the rest of the universe.
[Despero sends the other Lanterns into attack]
Hal Jordan : In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might beware my power, Green Lantern's light.
Despero : [seeing them disappear in a flash of green light] So, Jordan chose to destroy himself and the Corps rather than leave them in my power. A minor annoyance requiring a minor change in plans.
-
Batman : The more we fight, the farther away Despero gets.
Despero : Actually, I'm closer than you think.
[appearing, growing to gargantuan size]
Despero : Look upon my magnificence, the fullness of my power. Do you see now why there's no hope?
G'nort : Wowzer! That boy's had a real growth spurt.
Despero : The universe needs control. You, of all men, must understand that.
-
Despero : So, this is the legendary Green Lantern Corps. How unbearably pathetic.
-
Sinestro : Something's wrong.
[Despero vanishes]
Sinestro : An illusion. He was never here.
Despero : Why should I be there when my mind is powerful enough to reach out and do the work for me? While you three have been battling dreams, I draw closer to my goal: the Green Lantern who will be my greatest, my ultimate weapon.
Batman : I thought you were the only Lanterns left.
Sinestro : There is one Green Lantern who wasn't on Oa.
G'nort : Hokey smokes. He's going after Mogo.
Batman : Mogo?
Sinestro : Mogo is a living planet. And if Despero has gained control of him... there may be no hope left for any of us.
