Character: Arthur Curry (Aquaman)

I'm not a leader, not a King, I interact badly with people. And I don't want you killed because of me.

- Something is wrong...
He scans. Arthur, relax, you're adrenaline is spiking.
- I'm telling you, something is wrong!
- Oh, no! We are to worship or to adopt a posture of submission?

Arthur Curry. Heard you with fish talk.
- I heard you dress up in a bat costume. Just like... a real mouse?
- In Gotham 20 years worked.

Arthur: I think we're all going to die much sooner. And you know what? I don't mind. Dignified death. We need to stop the Steppenwolf. And Superman no longer with us. You have superpowers - no offense... This might be working for the enemy. We don't know... You're running around my feet... Wow, beautiful. You are so cool, strong. I know that we fought with the Amazons, but it was before my birthday... And you know what? I don't want to die. I'm young, smart, I got a lot of plans. I still couldn't choose - sea or land? And have been one all my life. But to be a part of something bigger... Maybe I'm afraid... Used to...
Bruce: Uh... [indicates look at the lasso of Hestia at the foot of Aquaman]
Diana: It was a beautiful speech.
Arthur [talking to the Flash]: If you ever stutter - I will hit you piranhas.
Barry: I honestly do kinda switched off after the phrase "we all die"!

I'll give 25 thousand to those who will tell you where to find!
He told me, and so will give them.

- This is your brilliant plan to die all along?
- I though the forks don't fight...

Superman was right - the Brainiac was going to die. But I wasn't keen on the idea that Kal-El will return to power. Atlantis will not obey him. Without Batman and his allies caught up in the prison, I could not raise an army to overthrow Superman.
I already lost hope when my Marines found an abandoned rebel base in the southern ocean - here Lex Luthor is secretly perfected his device to travel between dimensions. Using left plans, my scientists have created a new device. Now I have to go to those who fought, and ask them for help. And even to ask their forgiveness.

- Ready to measure strength with Atlantis, Superman?
Yes. "We" are ready.
- You're not welcome here!
- Maybe not happy, but I obviously need.

- Let's not go further! I want to talk to Superman!
- Superman "not talking" and doing his bidding! And you'll keep your promise!
- To hell with your orders! You can tell Superman that he will not have Atlantis!

- Captain marvel... Flash... Welcome!
- Your Majesty, we are honored to meet you...
And to be the first guests of Atlantis with the surface world.
Yes. We need to discuss an important issue - the contract.
- The final version. Superman'm glad you agreed to his terms.
- May I?...
- Something wrong, Your Majesty?
- ... Here referred to full submission! Superman will rule Atlantis?!
- You agreed to it. That's what we expect.
- Are you threatening me? Be careful...
- We carry out the order.
- Any of you two diplomats.

Is a rare pleasure, Your Majesty.
- I need information about the authorities of the surface world. Past and present.
- And to discuss a truce with the Advisor?
- Yes, to negotiate.
- Unfortunately, our resources are limited. Superman is very reluctant to reveal details of its regime.
- Tell me what you know. How did he become ruler? It can push us to a new strategy of negotiation.
It's a great honor, sir. Five years ago, the Joker tricked Superman to kill his wife and unborn son and destroying metropolis. Beside herself with grief, Superman killed the villain.
Yes... We all remember where we were that day...
- After that he ceased to hold back. Together with associates from the meta-humans he began to punish criminals without trial. The surface world was in desperate need of a strong leader. Superman concentrated in the hands all completeness of the power and created a Regime of common Earth. Democratic institutions were overthrown.
He became very popular...

- You're weak, Ares.
- During the reign of the Superman of contention is almost gone. I'm practically exhausted...
- If not you moved us here, then who?
- Those who will end the reign of the Superman - the Rebels.
- Heroes?
- Only one. Others who challenged Superman have been destroyed.
- He killed them... only the ones who have joined?
And several former villains, whom he bribed or forced to obey.
I need to join the companions.
- They are now the Rebels.
- Send me to them.

- So what now?
- It's always hit first, then ask... But of course, I poured a little oil into the fire.
- Ares? Why are you here?
- I feed off of discord. Until today, I was starving. I felt aggression and found its source.
- Moreover, you brought us here.
- It wasn't me, but I can guess who did it.
- No need to incite my anger, Ares! Tell me who it is.
- I think that can boss me around?
- Yes! And you will obey me!

- Who you working for, usurper? In ORMA? The Lord Of The Oceans?
- I am the king of Atlantis! Unlike you, I no decree.
- Watch your language...
- And you... you ready to give your Kingdom to a stranger from the surface World like a pair of worn boots?!
- The contract of the Supreme Counselor shall recognize our sovereignty and to take care of the pollution of the seas.
And for that, you gave him command over their army!
- It was a necessary compromise.
- More like appeasement of a tyrant... I was gonna offer you help, but I changed my mind.
