JLA #43

Tower of Babel Part 1: Survival of the Fittest
Ra's Al Ghul: "I see. It was your job to look after him, and you were just 'being kind.' Even though it was critical his special diet be maintained due to his fragility. And now that he is dead, his mate-to-be.....future mother of his children....is the last of her line. Now there will never be another like either of them. Ubu....show him the same 'kindness.'"
Talia: "How many natural species thrive due to your efforts?"
Ra's: "They do not 'thrive' in conservatories, Talia. The only thing that thrives outside these walls are the six billion shortsighted parasites who continue to ravage our planet's natural resources. On its own, humanity is a destructive force. It needs a master."
Ra's: "I have been unsuccessful in my efforts to pare the human race to a managable size. Beginning tomorrow, however....mankind will begin thinning itself."
Ra's: "And as for the most persistent thorn in our side, the detective, well....distracting him was so obvious a matter, I cannot believe I never thought of it before."

Aquaman: " Trampoline----!"
Plastic Man: "Was that a request? Since when do you take me that seriously?"
Aquaman: "You're a teammate, Plastic Man. I trust you. I don't like you, but I trust you."
Plastic Man: "Note to self: In the JLA, there's no such thing as a rhetorical question...."
Assassian 1: "Is that one still talking?"
Assassian 2: "Not for long."
Superman: "Are you under attack?"
Batman: "Not anymore. Over and out."
Superman: "No wait. Listen to me. The League's being hunted by persons unknown."
Batman: "Is anyone dead?"
Superman: "Not yet, but-----"
Batman: "Is this something you can't handle without me?"
Superman: "Again, not yet----"
Batman: "Then closing channel."
Superman: "That's not like him."
Flash: "How can you tell?"
Superman: "Because we're friends, Wally."
Ra's: "Whoever said a picture was worth a thousand words.....is about to see just how badly he miscounted."
