Quotes 

• Ray Palmer : You can't just hijack the Waverider. Our crew is still on there.

  Mar Novu : If there is any chance at surviving the Crisis, we need its technology.

  Sara Lance : Hoo. Yeah. I kind of promised our crew they'd never have to do another crossover.

• Kara Danvers : You did this? You brought that... poisonous snake back?

  Mar Novu : His destiny was unfulfilled. Lex Luthor still has an important role to play.

  Kara Danvers : So you can revive him, but you can't bring back Oliver?

  Mar Novu : I restored Luthor long before the Crisis caused my power to wane.

  Kara Danvers : And what about those innocent lives on Earth-38? Did they not have destinies to fulfill? I'm sorry, but I can't trust a man who thinks Lex Luthor is an ally.

  Kate Kane : All I got from that is that if you die again, that dude can't bring you back.

  Lex Luthor : And you are?

  Kate Kane : New. And unfriendly.

• Mar Novu : The Paragon of Courage is known only as the bat of the future.

  Kate Kane : Seriously, where do you get these names and pseudo names, anyway?

  Mar Novu : I enlisted the assistance of Felicity Smoak, who earned the wisdom of a second book.

  Clark Kent : That's a lot of books.

  Mar Novu : The Tome of the Guardians. It revealed the names of Ms. Zor-El and Ms. Lance, as well as the other two.

  Lois Lane : Bummed-out Kryptonian and Future Bat, which technically means...

  Mar Novu : Earth-99 exists in a future time where Bruce Wayne has dedicated himself, body and soul, to fighting crime.

  Ray Palmer : I'm sorry. Go back. Bruce Wayne is the Dark Knight?

  Kate Kane : If we could all keep that to ourselves, that'd be great.

  Mar Novu : The path to find him will lead you to the Paragon of Courage.

  Kate Kane : Okay. Who wants to meet Batman?

• Mar Novu : You have all lost a great hero.

  Barry Allen : The wrong hero.

  Mar Novu : I do not disagree. You have suffered a horrible loss, but you have every reason not to lose hope. Seven, in fact. Across space and time...

  [Jonathan begins crying; Lois give him to Clark] 

  Mar Novu : Across space and time exist seven heroes, beings of the purest will who can ultimately...

  [Jonathan continues crying] 

  Clark Kent : [passing him to Kara]  Sorry. You wanna try?

  Kara Danvers : What?

  Mar Novu : Beings of the purest will who can ultimately...

  Kara Danvers : It's not working.

  Kate Kane : [Kara tries to pass him over]  Nope.

  [Kara gives him to Mick, and he stops crying] 

  Mar Novu : Beings of the purest will who can ultimately defeat the Anti-Monitor...

  Lois Lane : [quietely urging Mick to leave]  Go, go, go.

  Mar Novu : ...and help save the multiverse. They are known as Paragons.

  Barry Allen : Paragons? And you're just dropping this on us now?

  Mar Novu : I only recently learned of their existence by consulting the Book of Destiny.

  Barry Allen : How? We destroyed it last year.

  Mar Novu : [as he conjures a hologram of the book, Lyla winces in pain]  After Oliver's early demise, I went back into the time stream and retrieved it intact. It is now safely stored in this ship's library.

  Barry Allen : [sarcastic]  So, it's what, plan B? That's comforting.

• Mar Novu : Well done. You have succeeded in finding the Paragon of Truth. Lex Luthor played his role. He led you to him.

  Kara Danvers : [entering with Kate]  Yeah? How many more people did he hurt to do that? You think you're a good guy, but you're not.

  Lex Luthor : I think he's kind of neat.

  Kara Danvers : Okay. Well, we still only have three. Bruce Wayne wasn't the paragon of anything, so...

  [seeing Earth-96 Clark] 

  Kara Danvers : Whoa, Ray. You are looking jacked.

  Clark Kent : No, no, no, no. This is your cousin, sort of.

  Kara Danvers : [turning to look at Ray and back, her jaw dropping]  Huh.

• Lex Luthor : An entire universe wiped from existence distilled down to a computer graphic. Gotta say, missing that "wow" factor.

  Kara Danvers : Lena killed you.

  Lex Luthor : Yeah. Only for a little while.

  [clicking his tongue] 

  Lex Luthor : Tck.

  Mar Novu : [she prepares to fire her heat vision]  Everyone has a part to play, even Lex Luthor.

• Harbinger : [finding Lex with the Book of Destiny]  You're not supposed to have that.

  Lex Luthor : And man was never meant to fly, but here we are.

  [opening the book] 

  Lex Luthor : Goodbye, Superman. All of you.

  [closing the book, he opens a breach with an extrapolator and escapes] 

  Mar Novu : [entering]  Lex Luthor has the Book of Destiny.

  Harbinger : He's going to use it to kill Supermen. If he kills the Paragon, we're all doomed.

  [seeing that he appears unconcerned] 

  Harbinger : What have you done?

  Mar Novu : As I said, everyone has a part to play.

• Anti-Monitor : Lyla Michaels, Harbinger, I need you.

  Harbinger : Who are you?

  Anti-Monitor : Universe after universe has fallen before my power. World after world consumed. With every death, I steal my mirror's strength, and mine grows every stronger. Who am I? I am the Anti-Monitor. Come, Harbinger, there is work to be done.

• Kara Danvers : If the book can rewrite destiny, can it bring back Earth-38, or any of the other Earths?

  Mar Novu : Trying to recreate an entire word would surely drive one to madness.

  Mia Smoak : What about my dad? Could it bring him back?

  Mar Novu : I wish it could. While Oliver Queen was to die in this Crisis, this is not how I saw events unfold. But as the Anti-Monitor gets stronger, I grow weaker.

• Mar Novu : We must find all seven Paragons.

  Lois Lane : How about, like, a hint?

  Mar Novu : I have four. Kara Zor-El, despite all you have endured, you are the Paragon of Hope.

  Kara Danvers : Well, you might want to double-check your omnipotence, 'cause I'm not feeling that hopeful right now.

  Mar Novu : Sara Lance is the Paragon of Destiny.

  Ray Palmer : Oh. Well, that makes sense. Captain of time travel and all that.

  Mar Novu : I have only descriptions for the other two Paragons. One is of a second Kryptonian, who is said to have suffered a greater loss than most mortal men could endure. Today, he stands as the Paragon of Truth.

• Kate Kane : Uh, so Batman tried to kill Kara, and now he's dead, so we're doomed.

  Mar Novu : We shall see. I believe Dr. Palmer's work is now finished.

  Ray Palmer : At least I think it is. I've never actually built a paragon detector before. Uh, okay. This will be the trial run to find the final three. Everyone might want to take a step back.

  [they all do so as he turns it on] 

  Clark Kent : And which Earth is that?

  Ray Palmer : None of them. That's us, this ship. Apparently, there are still a few bugs.

  Mar Novu : Your machine works just fine. That light is the Paragon of Courage.

  Kate Kane : Yeah, well, Bruce's body isn't on the ship, so...

  Mar Novu : No, but you are. I said the path to Earth-99 would lead you to the Paragon, and that has come to pass. You are the bat of the future, Kate Kane. You are the Paragon of Courage.
