Born to money and power, Lex Luthor has figured out humanity’s purpose: to destroy each other. And he won’t let anyone stand in the way of humanity’s potential. Working with the United States Department of Defense to create a kryptonite bomb that would make Earth poisonous to Superman, Luthor’s premature methods to eradicate Superman have landed him in a security cell in Metropolis Prison.
Must be able to record shouting.
Don't insult me, Kal-El. Our government wanted a kryptonite bomb. They wanted it for the day you woke up and decided it was Truth, Justice, and Some Other Way. That’s the real reason I'm in here, Superman. Because I tried to be rid of you before they were ready.

Poor Superman, so naïve, you'll never really understand us. I have nothing against you. It is your paternalistic meddling I despise. You may have pulled the others along in your tide of self-delusion but I know what you really are. You're an alien invasion of one, here to rob us of our destiny.
Pathetic. Predictable. But pathetic nevertheless. I knew you’d never really be able to do it, Wayne. Kill him, I mean. Kryptonite only in the hilt. He was yours and you spared him. You were addled by compassion. And you. I anticipated having to finish Superman. Delivering the coup de gras. My plan was predicated on it. But you. You I expected more from. I enjoy a zero tolerance policy when it comes to failure.
