Justice League Unlimited, Season 2

[Discussing Cadmus]

Superman:
Give me one good reason not to go down there and take them out.

Martian Manhunter:
If you didn't know the answer, you wouldn't have bothered to ask.

Superman:
Don't handle me, J'onn! I'm serious!

Martian Manhunter:
We don't have hard evidence that they've committed any crimes.

Superman:
Oh, come on! You know they're dirty!

Green Arrow:
Then maybe we should put more energy into proving it, and less into acting like a bunch of hyperthyroid stormtroopers.

Superman:
I don't remember asking you for your opinion!

Green Arrow:
No? How about when you guys hijacked me up here against my will and made me join this team? Batman said I was supposed to keep you guys honest.

Superman:
Do I look like Batman to you?

Flash:
Actually, you kind of do. Especially when you're all scowly like that.

Superman:
We can't let Cadmus get away with it!

Martian Manhunter:
No one's saying we should, but we have to keep a cool head.

Supergirl:
Do you know what they did to me?!

Green Arrow:
Look, kid. Hamilton's a piece of garbage, and Luthor is worse, but this isn't the way to stop them.

Martian Manhunter:
We must also consider the possibility that Cadmus is right to be afraid of us...

Supergirl:
[outraged] WHAT?!

Martian Manhunter:
...and there is strong evidence of Cadmus having legitimate connections to the government.

Superman:
Maybe, to some rogue black ops group! The real government wouldn't get involved in anything like this!

Green Arrow:
Hey, I'm the only guy in the room who doesn't have superpowers, and let me tell you: you guys scare me. What if you do decide to go marching down there, taking care of whoever you think is guilty? Who could stop you? Me?

Supergirl:
So you want the government to have a bunch of superhuman weapons just to keep us in check?!

Green Arrow:
No!... I don't know... Yeah! [regaining composure] Look, I'm an old lefty. The government must do for people what people can't do for themselves. The people sure can't protect themselves from the likes of us.

Superman:
We're not talking about the government. We're talking about a shadow cabinet that's taken it upon themselves to eliminate us! They came after us, we have to hit them back hard.

Flash:
Grammy Flash always used to say the trouble with "an eye for an eye"... is that everybody ends up blind.
