The Fate of Equinox! (2009)

Oded Fehr: Equinox

Quotes 

• Equinox : Isn't this gyroscope magnificent? The ninth wonder of the world. I knew you couldn't refuse my invitation, Batman.

  Batman : What's your game, Equinox?

  Equinox : The ancients who worshipped here believed that the gyroscope kept the world turning, and that if it ever stopped, the world would stop, too.

  Batman : Leave half the world in scorching sunlight.

  Equinox : The other half forever in frozen night. Yin and yang. Order and chaos. An eternal equinox.

  Batman : Fiendish plot. Good thing I brought a friend.

  Equinox : [seeing him appear]  Dr. Fate, lapdog of the Lords of Order.

• Equinox : Your new stature hasn't changed your failed tactics.

  Batman : Time to take this outside.

  [transporting them into outer space, Batman blasts him backward] 

  Batman : [a portal opens]  Fate?

  Dr. Fate : You didn't think I'd sit this one out, did you?

• Batman : [kneeling before Equinox]  I can't win this fight. I see that now.

  Equinox : Such formalities no longer matter.

  Batman : Just one thing. The destruction of a universe hardly seems like an act of balance.

  Equinox : What? What are you talking about?

  Batman : The chaos deep in your heart outweighs the order. It's why you rebelled against your lords.

  Equinox : I rebelled because the type of balancing act they demanded was impossible.

  Batman : And you hate them for it.

  Equinox : What do you know about never-ending responsibilities? Of course I hate them. Wait. If I'm not in balance... then this was all for nothing? No. No!

  Batman : You're cracking up, Equinox.

  [throwing a punch] 

  Batman : Balance this!

  Dr. Fate : [Equinox is vanquished by the collapsing vortex]  Looks like Equinox has finally found his equilibrium.

• Equinox : I warned you once not to get in my way, now learn why.

  [getting the better of Batman] 

  Equinox : It seems that the combined powers of all my old masters are more than a match for the powers of your friends. Now, where was I?

  Dr. Fate : We need a plan.

  Batman : You're right. I surrender.

  Dr. Fate : That's not a plan!

• Equinox : Time to ring down the curtain on this flawed universe.

  [catching a blast from Dr. Fate, he fires it back] 

  Dr. Fate : He's too strong for me. And with the combined powers of the Lords of Order and Chaos, he's too strong for any hero.

  Batman : Then maybe we should combine some powers of our own.

  Dr. Fate : [conjuring other heroes]  With your permission, I'll borrow all your powers and skills in the faint hope that combined into a single hero, they may give one of us the necessary edge to defeat Equinox.

  Plastic Man : So, who gets the powers?

  Aquaman : A battle royale against insurmountable odds? A clash of titans? My friends, the choice is clear.

  Batman : Fate gets the powers. Only he has the discipline to control such a force.

  Aquaman : I was going to say that.

  Dr. Fate : On the contrary, Batman, my ways may be too rigid for this task, but your proclivity towards chaos is just what we need now.

  Batman : Do it.

• Equinox : To gain control of the pit's energies, one spirit in perfect balance must sacrifice another.

  [blocking a blast from Dr. Fate] 

  Equinox : Arrogant, like your masters.

  Dr. Fate : How?

  Equinox : A matter of balance. An equal and opposite reaction.

  Dr. Fate : You control the magics of chaos and order? Then you're...

  [getting blasted] 

  Dr. Fate : Aah!

  Equinox : Ah, ah, ah. No telling.

• Equinox : This universe will be torn apart so that it can be reborn.

  [Batman taps him on the shoulder and, as he turns around, punches him in the face] 

  Equinox : I suppose that balances the books, Batman.

  Batman : By my count, there's still a matter of interest.

• Dr. Fate : The voices of the Lords of Order are silent. Everything is as it was.

  Batman : And I think I know why.

  Equinox : Why did you run away? You left before I could express my appreciation for the help you gave me. Shedding off the chains of my old existence to be reborn a god!
