Carter Hall, also known as Hawkman, is a central figure in the Black Adam movie, leading the Justice Society of America. Here are some of his notable lines:
Justice and Principles
“We’re the Justice Society. Our mission is to protect global stability. We’re here to restore peace to Kahndaq. And we will use force if necessary.”
“I don’t know their crimes, but whatever they are, these men should face due process.”
“Let me spell it out for you. Teth-Adam can’t be Kahndaq’s champion because he is not a hero.”
“There’s no “we” here. There are only heroes and there are villains.”
“Heroes don’t kill people.”
“But you can’t choose who lives and dies. That’s Fate, right?”
“No matter what happens, he does not sit on that throne.”
“The people of Kahndaq rise up against you.”
“The kind of justice you dish out can darken your soul.”
Mission and Strategy
“Fate, give me a distraction!”
“Just say, “Shazam.” We all go home.”
“Where are you going? We need to go after him.”
“One catastrophe at a time. We can’t give him a chance to regroup.”
“We don’t have time for this. Teth-Adam first, then the crown.”
“We have access to ancient texts that have been kept secret for centuries.”
“They say that his rage nearly destroyed Kahndaq.”
“And we flew all the way over here to stop it from happening again.”
“We’re here to negotiate the terms of your peaceful surrender.”
“Then why are you making this hard on us? We both know you’re not supposed to be here.”
“Gladly, with you as our prisoner.”
“This can only end one way.”
“You’d better not let him up.”
“I can help you, but no more extrajudicial killings.”
“Set a course for the Al Hadidiyah Mountains. We’ll go in at dawn.”
“A bad plan is better than no plan at all.”
“I’d rather be fighting with him than against him.”
“I’m gonna land us right here, cut off their access to reinforcements. But the perimeter of the mine creates a natural fortress. There is only one way in, one way out. We’ll be an easy target for their flybike patrol. Communication is key. We keep in step or we get outflanked.”
“We move through the mine, inch by inch, until we find Amon.”
Teamwork and Caution
“Just be careful with this one.”
“Kent. Kent!”
“But Teth-Adam’s out of the equation. Kent, if this isn’t over, I need to know what’s coming. What is the helmet telling you?”
“You should’ve told me sooner. I have no fear of death.”
“Readout says it’s the demon, Sabbac.”
“We’re 100 miles out, give me 20 seconds.”
“Brace yourselves.”
“Hold on!”
“Activate infrared.”
“Sabbac, show yourself!”
“Yeah, but the world burns if we don’t. Right?”
“No, no, no. What are you doing?”
“It’s supposed to be me.”
“No, Kent.”
“Wait, Kent!”
“[still hitting the barrier] Kent!”
“Kent! [to Al and Maxine] Hit it from every side.”
“Kent! Noooo!”
“Kent!”
“Beat his ass.”
“You can control it! You have to!”
“I never tought I’d be happy to see you.”
“That makes two of us.”
“See you around, old friend.”
“Think you can keep him out of trouble?”
“Fair enough. [to Teth-Adam] Just be careful.”
“[smirking] I guess we’ll find out, won’t we?”
“I think this loose cannon needs to be locked down… before innocent people start getting hurt. Oh, and good morning to you, too.”
“Wheels up in 30.”
“Maxine Hunkel, aka Cyclone. Wind manipulation powers, computer skills, smart as hell. Basically a tornado with a 167 IQ.”
“That’s where Atom Smasher comes in.”
“Al Rothstein, nephew to the original Atom Smasher. He inherited his uncle’s powers.”
“That’s why I called in Kent.”
“Кent’s been out of action for a little while, but I can’t do this without him. Takes magic to fight magic and the man’s got nearly god-level powers.”
“Waller, you find us a cell that can hold him… we’ll take care of the rest.”
“This is gonna be fun.”
“We’re headed to Kahndaq to apprehend and contain… a Class-A rogue metahuman.”
“Everyting down to the screws. Completely indestructible. I’ll be in the cockpit if you need me.”
“Coming up on it. Ready stations in five.”
“He’s not some dude. He’s a weapon of mass destruction.”
“You don’t have to raise your hand.”
“Look alive. We’re here.”
“Fate and I’ll take the lead.”
“[to Al and Maxine] Listen. Now, you two hang back ’til we call you. We’re the anvil, you’re the hammer. You’re ready.”
“Me and you.”
“Roger that.”
“Maybe these guys can help. There’s an upside to keeping prisoners. [Looking at Black Adam accusingly] They can answer our questions.”
“Shit.”
“You’d better not drop those prisoners.”
“Oh, you gotta be kidding me.”
“I told you! Stop killing people!”
“Because I saved them.”
“I know it got lost in all the confusing, but we still have some issues to settle here.”
“There’s no “we” here. There are only heroes and there are villains.”
“Heroes don’t kill people.”
“Is that what I think it is?”
“23 pounds of pure Eternium, much denser than typical artifacts of the period.”
“Stop.”
“That’s not far from what we had in mind for you when this is over.”
“Hand it over. We can’t risk letting this crown fall into the wrong hands. We will find another way.”
“Adrianna… Trust me, we will get your son back.”
“Set a course for the Al Hadidiyah Mountains. We’ll go in at dawn. [To Teth-Adam] I hope you can be a team player.”
“That was before we had a very bad plan.”
“He’s a murderer, Kent. If he turns on us, that kid is as good as dead.”
“What’s the helmet telling you? Somebody’s gonna die. Who is it, Atom Smasher? It’s Atom Smasher.”
“Is it me?”
“Well, I guess we’re sticking with a very bad plan.”
“[v.o.] The Al Hadidiyah mine is Intergang’s most valued asset.”
“I’m gonna land us right here, cut off their access to reinforcements. But the perimeter of the mine creates a natural fortress. There is only one way in, one way out. We’ll be an easy target for their flybike patrol. Communication is key. We keep in step or we get outflanked.”
“We move through the mine, inch by inch, until we find Amon. [To Teth-Adam] This is where you come in. Are you ready… Damn it.”
“We don’t have it.”
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“Fate, get ready.”
“Just find the crown. Get it on the cruiser.”
“How long we gonna keep doing this?”
“You’re right. Only you can. Ishmael said you cried when Hurut died. Who’s Hurut?”
“The statue of the Champion isn’t you. It’s Hurut.”
“Well, I guess we’re sticking with a very bad plan.”
