"We should have. All of us. Lexcorp could have. Infinity Inc. could have. But we didn't. We...failed."

Luthor rubs his eye sockets, before speaking again. "At the hospital. I met...a man. What I thought was a man at least.

He was...talking to Superman, about...a boy. He could save that boy. He did save him. Just...sent him away for a while. A family, somewhere else.

I asked it to do the same for my baby, and he refused. He did not. He chose to let his child live.

And mine die. We all could have done more. But we did not. I won't ever let us not do enough again."
