Rebirth [1.1-2]

 * [when a rescue nearly fails and Batman is forced to use a gun, an aging Bruce Wayne shuts down the Batcave]
 * Bruce Wayne: Never again.


 * Warren McGinnis: That's your problem right there! You can't control your temper, and you'd better if you expect to get anywhere in life!
 * Terry McGinnis: [dryly] Yeah. I'll be a big success, just like you. I'm bailing.
 * Warren McGinnis: Terry...


 * J-Man: Aw, the no fun boy had an accident.
 * Smirk: Let's put a smile on his face.


 * J-Man: Who do you think you're talking to, old man? We're the Jokerz!
 * Bruce Wayne: [smirk] Sure you are.


 * Terry McGinnis: [looking at Ace] Nice dog.
 * Bruce Wayne: Not really.


 * Terry McGinnis: You have to do something! You're Batman!
 * Bruce Wayne: I was Batman.


 * Terry McGinnis: Something happened to you, didn't it? And wasn't just that you got old.


 * Terry McGinnis: You're no Batman, you whacked out old fraud!


 * Mr. Fixx: You're pretty strong, for some clown who thinks he's Batman.
 * Terry McGinnis: I am Batman!


 * Bruce Wayne: I should warn you, I can be a difficult taskmaster. I accept nothing short of excellence in all who work for me.
 * Terry McGinnis: I think I can handle it.
 * Bruce Wayne: Very good then, Mr. McGinnis. Welcome to my world.

Black Out [1.3]

 * Dana Tan: Is it wrong to root for the other team?


 * Terry McGinnis: [about Inque] It was like...some kinda blob!


 * Terry McGinnis: Look, you may be used to dealing with freaks and monsters, but I'm a little new at this.


 * Bruce Wayne: [not looking as Terry sees the Grey Ghost costume] Way before your time.


 * Terry McGinnis: [flying the Batmobile for the first time] This is unbearably cool!


 * Bruce Wayne: You scratch it, no allowance.


 * Inque: Not exactly a fast learner, are you?
 * Batman: You don't like the water, do you?


 * Derek Powers: This better be good. What happened?
 * Inque: Someone's been interfering, and this is the second time.
 * Derek Powers: Who?
 * Inque: I don't know. He wore a costume. Black and red.
 * Derek Powers: [as his skin starts peeling off] Batman!
 * Inque: The Batman?
 * Derek Powers: [angrily] What difference does it make?!
 * Inque: [noticing his face falling apart] What's happening to you?
 * Derek Powers: I have a condition. I trust you'll be discreet. I'm sending you on a new assignment: find this Batman and kill him.
 * Inque: He has an accomplice. I heard him speak with someone over a radio.
 * Derek Powers: Then do them both! I'll pay you whatever you want.
 * Inque: No wonder I like working for you.
 * Derek Powers: Now I suggest you leave. It's not healthy to be around me when I'm shedding.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [Batman is saved from Inque in the nick of time by Bruce, sporting the Grey Ghost's hat and goggles]
 * Batman: What took you so long?
 * Bruce: A sudden case of shyness.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: [after blasting Inque with Mr. Freeze's freeze gun] That's it - you're showing me everything!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Barbara Gordon: I hear you wrangled yourself a new errand boy.
 * Bruce: I never wrangled anyone. You all came to me.
 * Barbara: Maybe for once you should try to talk someone out of it.
 * Bruce: Would it have worked for you?
 * [Barbara smiles]

Golem [1.4]

 * Terry McGinnis: Lay off him, Nash. Don't you have anything better to do?
 * Nelson Nash: You think I'm afraid of you, McGinnis?
 * Terry McGinnis: I don't know. Are you?
 * [Nelson glares at Terry]
 * Nelson Nash: [turns to Willie Watt] He's not worth it. [turns to Terry] But you are, McGinnis. Someday.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: It belongs to Nelson Nash. He goes to Hill High.
 * Bruce Wayne: Do you know anyone who has a grudge against him?
 * Terry McGinnis: The line starts with me and goes around the block...twice.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Frank Watt: When I get my hands on the jerk who stole that GoLeM, I'm going to make him sorry he was ever born.
 * Willie Watt: [bitterly] Maybe he already is.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dottie: Didn't nobody ever tell you not to come into Joker territory without some kinda' tribute?
 * Willie Watt: I got somethin' for ya... A Joke.
 * Spike: Alright then, make me laugh!
 * Willie Watt: What's two stories tall and eats Jokerz?
 * Spike: What?!
 * Willie Watt: [Cheerily, as he points to the GOLEM standing behind the Jokerz] Him!
 * [The GLM steps out of the shadows, Jokerz look scared, one tries to hide behind Willy]
 * Willie Watt: You're not laughing.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Frank Watt: Sure caused a lot of trouble. Guess that means he's not a wuss anymore.

Meltdown [1.5]

 * Mr. Freeze: Take a good look, Doctor. I've been like this for nearly fifty years, and I haven't aged one day. I have become what many men have dreamed of: an immortal. And yet, there hasn't been a day, an hour, a minute, I haven't thought about death. It obsesses me.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dr. Stephanie Lake: Remember, there may be some momentary discomfort.
 * Mr. Freeze: Save your breath. I am neither afraid nor capable of being comforted by banal words.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: Come on, can't you cut him a little slack? Like my mom said, he's just a guy trying to put his house in order.
 * Bruce Wayne: It's a cold draft that blows through that house.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [Batman subdues a would-be assassin of the reborn Victor Fries, the man pleading for vengeance because Mr. Freeze killed his family]
 * Terry McGinnis: We'll let the police handle this.
 * Mr. Freeze: No, I've caused this man enough pain.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: Just because he ran off doesn't mean he'll come back.
 * Bruce Wayne: He'll be back. Count on it. He lives for revenge.
 * Batman: Not the Victor Fries I met.
 * Bruce Wayne: What you met was a ghost.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dr. Stephanie Lake: We were only trying to help you...
 * Mr. Freeze: Remember, there may be some momentary discomfort. [freezes her to death]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [The building he is in begins crashing down, and as Powers escapes the destruction, out of the rubble rises Freeze, in a new and powerful Freeze suit]
 * Mr. Freeze: It's something I've kept in cold storage.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Blight: [melting Mr. Freeze] And behold, I shall be a blight upon the land, and everything I touch shall wither and die!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Blight: Batman.
 * Batman: And who are you, sunshine?
 * Blight: "Blight" will do.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Blight: You only got a tan that time, Batman. Here comes the real burn!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: [via comlink, as the sensors in the Batcave fly off the charts] Terry! There's something hot in that room!
 * Terry McGinnis: [In the Batman costume, with Blight stepping on his head] No kidding! This guy, he's like a walking meltdown!
 * Bruce Wayne: Keep your distance. The suit will give you some protection, but it's not designed for such high levels of radiation.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Mr. Freeze: Stay where you are.
 * Batman: You've got to get out of here, Freeze! The whole place is going to go!
 * Mr. Freeze: Believe me, you're the only one who cares.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: I guess you were right about Freeze all along.
 * Bruce Wayne: We both were.

Heroes [1.6]

 * News Reporter: We warn viewers that the tape we're about to show might be too intense for children.
 * Boy: Turn it up!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Freon: What's the matter, boys? Cold feet?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * GPD: FREEZE!
 * Freon: Been there, done that...

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [Magma wrecks a police car]
 * Officer 1: Hey! That's police property!
 * Officer 2: You tell him!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Matt McGinnis: Aww, those guys are twips. Batman rips!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dr. Hodges: Please, turn it off!
 * Magma: No.
 * Dr. Hodges: But the whole city will become a hot zone! You're crazy!
 * 2-D Man: I believe your words were "dangerously psychotic."
 * Freon: We are what you made us.
 * Batman: Party's over!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: I've gotta shut that thing off! Thousands of people will die! Magma! Dr. Morgan, you can't let that happen! You're a hero, remember?
 * Magma: No. I'm an accident. Real heroes, they make a choice. I never did.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: Satisfied?
 * Dr. Hodges: [distraught] No. You don't understand, I was their friend.
 * Batman: [disgusted] Right.

Shriek [1.7]

 * Bruce Wayne: That theatre. It was where my parents and I went the night they were...
 * Terry McGinnis: [about Crime Alley] I'd think you'd want it to be torn down, so after all these years you could finally forget.
 * Bruce Wayne: Do you want to forget what happened to your father?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Walter Shreeve: The police are after me. I'm a wanted man! I cannot go back to my lab again! And it's all your fault!
 * [Prepares to activate suit]
 * Derek Powers: That's not going to help.
 * Walter Shreeve: No, but it'll make me feel better.
 * Derek Powers: You should be feeling fine anyway.
 * Walter Shreeve: And why is that?!
 * Derek Powers: Because your costume gives you power. Real power. Ever had that before?
 * Walter Shreeve: No. Not really.
 * Derek Powers: It's no small thing. Trust me.
 * Walter Shreeve: But I can't show my face anymore! Or use my name!
 * Derek Powers : The face is no loss, and if you miss your name, I'll give you another one. One that fits your new persona. [pauses in thought] "Shriek".
 * Shriek: "Shriek"?
 * Derek Powers: Not a friendly name, I grant you. But take it from me: it's better to be feared than loved.
 * Shriek: Shriek...
 * Derek Powers: Now go forth and do damage. But don't forget: you still owe me Bruce Wayne.
 * Shriek: What if Batman gets in my way again?
 * Derek Powers: Kill him.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry: Okay, we know it's some kind of sound generator. So now what?
 * [Put the evidence into a scanner]
 * Terry: Computer. Analyze the metal this thing is made of. [Pause] Computer?
 * Computer: Incorrect command.
 * Terry: Uh.. do the thing where you figure out what's it made of.
 * Computer: Request for spectrographic analysis.
 * Terry: Uh.. huh.. that's it. What you said.
 * Computer: Analysis proceeding.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Derek Powers: Age can do tragic things to a person. But Wayne will be in the best of hands. Mine. Who else could take care for Wayne? He has no wife, no children...
 * Terry McGinnis: Me. I could do it.
 * Derek Powers: Awfully young, aren't you?
 * Terry McGinnis: Awfully slimy, aren't you?
 * Derek Powers: Careful, the courts are very strict about slander.
 * Terry McGinnis: Oh, yeah? Then let's see how they handle assault!
 * [Terry attempts to attack Derek but is restrained by the doctors]
 * Derek Powers: You should know something about the psych ward here: there's always room for one more!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: Tell me something - why were you so sure those voices weren't coming from you?
 * Bruce Wayne: Well, first, I know I'm not psychotic.
 * Terry McGinnis: I hope your other reason is more convincing.
 * Bruce Wayne: The voice kept calling me "Bruce." In my mind, that's not what I call myself.
 * Terry McGinnis: What do you call yourself? [Bruce just looks at him for a moment] Oh, yeah. I suppose you would. [Batman voice] But that's my name now.
 * Bruce Wayne: Tell that to my subconscious.

Dead Man's Hand [1.8]

 * Rich man on boat: [holding a harpoon] Mine's bigger than yours.
 * King: All the money in the world and not an ounce of refinement.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Ten: You'll get another one soon enough. And you won't have to steal for it.
 * Jack: Yeah, she earns hers the old fashioned way.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * King: You're acting like children. If you'd been prepared, Batman would be dead now.
 * Jack: We got away with the jewels! What difference does it make!?
 * King: I'll tell you the difference: years ago, when I was your age, he broke up this gang for a while. He outsmarted us, humiliated us, and I've been waiting years to get him back.
 * Jack: Ah, the old revenge game. But tell me something, "sire," how will that make us richer?
 * [King punches him]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Melanie Walker: Maybe you should ask for time off.
 * Terry McGinnis: Not this guy. Him, you don't ask for time off.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: Look, if you had any proof they were gonna try something tonight, it would be different, but I'm not gonna change my plans because of a hunch.
 * Bruce Wayne: Batman would.
 * Terry McGinnis: Hey, I put my life on the line all the time. One night's not gonna make a difference.
 * Bruce Wayne: One night always makes the difference.
 * Terry McGinnis: I know what it is. You can't stand to see anyone going out and having a life. You want me to end up like you, alone.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Queen: Melanie, men come and go. Most of them cause nothing but trouble.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * King: Ten, come get me!
 * Batman: Don't do it...just go...

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: Mr. Wayne, those things I said, I'm sorry. This kind of thing ever happen to you?
 * Bruce Wayne: [smiles] Let me tell you about a woman named Selina Kyle...

The Winning Edge [1.9]

 * J-Man: [handling an illegal gun] Ooh, I could have some laughs with this!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: Arch-criminals, I know how to handle. Mothers are something else.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: These late nights too much for you?
 * Terry McGinnis: The nights aren't tough. It's the mornings.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dana Tan: Don't be such a spud. You need some excitement in your life.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Coach Creagar: I eat punks like you for breakfast!
 * [Batman defeats him and ties him up.]
 * Batman: Sorry to spoil your appetite.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: [to Bruce] Come on; he must be a zillion years old! What trouble could an old geezer...? Never mind.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: [seeing Bane] What happened to him?
 * Jackson Chappell: Too many years on Venom. That's what the stuff will do to you.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: [lands on Chappell's car] How'd you con the formula out of Bane?
 * Jackson Chappell: In the end, he needed Venom just to keep going. It got so bad he couldn't even make it himself. He had to trust someone.
 * Batman: And now you're cashing in by selling poison to kids?
 * Jackson Chappell: That's right! [throws off lab coat and sticks several slappers on himself]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Mary McGinnis: Why would he allow that to go on?
 * Bruce Wayne: He wanted to win at any cost. So he looked the other way.

Spellbound [1.10]

 * Terry McGinnis: Guess you're the expert on troubled kids. You collect them, right?
 * [Bruce glares]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: Wayne, you alive?
 * Bruce Wayne: Very funny.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: Terry, listen to my voice. Whatever you're seeing, it isn't real!
 * [Spellbinder hits Batman with a branch]
 * Batman: That sure felt real.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: It's over, Billings! I know who you are!
 * Spellbinder: Well, I'm glad that makes you feel superior, but you haven't caught me yet.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Spellbinder: [about his school psychologist work being underappreciated] For years, I fought the demons in the heads of those ungrateful little snots! While their coddling parents paid their garbage men more than me! Now I'm taking what I've earned!

Disappearing Inque [1.11]

 * Bruce Wayne: Back at the cryogenics place, weren't you wondering why Inque didn't morph into her human form and just walk out with the other workers?
 * Terry McGinnis: Uh, yeah! ...Sort of...

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Aaron Herbst: Maybe you'd like to wash up, then?
 * Inque: No thanks.
 * Aaron Herbst: You know, you were in that storm drain for a pretty long time, and-
 * Inque: I don't like water, understand?!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: Someday, you're going to tell me the real reason why you stopped being Batman.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [Terry seals the entrance to the cave to stop Inque getting in]
 * Bruce Wayne: Mind telling me what you're doing?
 * Terry McGinnis: Sealing up the cracks. Making sure she can't ooze in.
 * Bruce Wayne: [smiles in amusement] You really think she's coming here, don't you?
 * Terry McGinnis: She was here before. She knows the way.
 * Bruce Wayne : Does she? It was dark that night. The Batmobile was going awfully fast. And then there's the way you drive.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: Still at it, huh?
 * Terry McGinnis: She can huff and puff all she wants, but she ain't going to blow this place down.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: You got away?
 * [as he approaches Terry, he's constricted by an inky tentacle as Terry morphs into Inque]
 * Inque: He didn't get away. And neither will you.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: [having just risked a heart attack to fight Inque] Now do you believe me about why I retired?
 * Terry McGinnis: Not entirely. But tonight, I'm glad you didn't stay retired.

A Touch of Curaré [1.12]

 * Barbara Gordon: I heard the D.A.'s office is plea-bargaining the Densmore case. Do you know how hard my men worked to...?
 * Sam Young: Uh-uh-uh, no shop talk after hours. You want to discuss my shortcomings as a D.A., call my office and make an appointment, Commissioner.
 * [kisses her]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: [after seeing Curare cut through a steel lamppost with her sword] I gotta get me one of those swords.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Barbara Gordon: [sees her old costume in the Batcave] I see you've sewed up the bullet holes.
 * Terry McGinnis: You're Batgirl! [to Bruce] She's Batgirl!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Master Assassin: You were taught to expect the unexpected, Curare. Batman should not have made a difference, nor the police, no matter how many there were. You know the price of failure. I only hope you haven't lost your edge.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: Why do you hate him?
 * Barbara Gordon: Ancient history, McGinnis.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: So you and Dick Grayson like, dated.
 * Barbara Gordon: In college. Puppy love. Later on, we just never talked about it.
 * Terry McGinnis: [eating doughnut] People should communicate more.
 * Barbara Gordon: Dick finally got fed up living in Batman's shadow. He decided to leave. He was hurt when I chose to stay behind with Bruce.
 * Terry McGinnis: As his partner. [Gordon's grin widens] His girlfriend? [Gordon's grin widens even further, leaving McGinnis shocked] Whoa!
 * Barbara Gordon: On the street, it was like ballet. We were the perfect duo.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: Why do you hate him so much?
 * Barbara Gordon: No, I don't hate him. I hate what he's become. Such a great man... so alone.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: [after Barbara used a batarang to disarm Curare] I guess you never lose the touch. How'd it feel?
 * Barbara Gordon: Like old times. You better go. It wouldn't look good if... [turns to see Batman gone] Like old time alright.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: You should have seen her, Bruce. She sure swings a mean batarang.
 * Bruce Wayne: [smiles] She always did.

Ascension [1.13]

 * Paxton Powers: "No more pollution." How do they expect us to make a profit?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Derek Powers: You animals! [grabs Mendez] You want to talk about poison?! [laughs] I AM POISON!
 * Bruce Wayne: Let him go.
 * Derek Powers: Old man, I've been waiting to do this for years! [attacks him]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: You okay?
 * Bruce Wayne: I'm fine...Batman.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [Batman destroys the Bat-Signal after Paxton used it to call him out]
 * Batman: Next time, use email.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: Do you think he was born this way?
 * Bruce Wayne: Do you remember when Powers was exposed to nerve gas?
 * Terry McGinnis: Sure, I remember. I threw it.
 * Bruce Wayne: Powers would have been treated with radiation. That, combined with the gas, may have mutated him into this.
 * Terry McGinnis: You mean...I made him that?
 * Bruce Wayne: You may have, in part.
 * Terry McGinnis: Good.
 * [Bruce glares]
 * Terry McGinnis: Hey, this guy had my father murdered and all he's done since is hide from the law. Well, no more hiding for Mr. Derek Powers. Now everyone can see him for what he is...Even in the dark.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: Careful, Terry, you're sounding a little too vindictive.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Blight: [being stalked from the shadows by Batman] Why do you persist in tormenting me?! All I want is to be left alone!
 * Batman: Can't let you run around like this. We've got rules about radioactive waste. And besides, this is personal.
 * Blight: Who are you?!
 * Batman: [pauses] You really want to know?
 * Blight: Yes!
 * Batman: [enters] You killed my father.
 * [Slight pause]
 * Blight: Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?
 * Batman: Too bad. That's all you'll ever get.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Paxton Powers: Did you really expect me to believe you'd ever give me power? That I'd ever have an ounce of control as long as you were alive? You taught me by example, Dad. The only way to get power is to seize it!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Blight: PAXTON! [last words]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: You made a bad enemy tonight.
 * Paxton Powers: What are you going to do? Testify against me in that mask?
 * Batman: Oh, I wasn't talking about me. I'm the least of your worries.
 * [He indicates the news program, which states that Blight's body has not been found]
 * Paxton Powers: So, he melted with the sub.
 * Batman: Sure he did.

Splicers [2.1]

 * Teenager: Splicing is like establishing myself as an individual, you know, just like all my friends!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dr. Abel Cuvier: I want to assure everyone that splicing is safe, reversible, and more importantly, utterly beautiful. I was the first test subject, and as you can see, I'm perfectly fine.
 * Terry McGinnis: Perfectly creepy is more like it.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Matt McGinnis: Hey Mom, can I get spliced? I want to be a real wolf man for Halloween!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: You're lucky I'm late for school, twip.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: So will you petting zoo rejects be needing a doctor?...or a vet?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: Cuvier would be deadlier than ever now that he is being hunted. [He sees a claw on Terry's costume] What's this? Hmm?
 * Terry McGinnis: One of Cuvier's claws. Too bad we can't use it to find him.
 * Bruce Wayne: We can't. [They turned to see Ace staring at them]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: Look, wonder-dog, I don't like you, and you don't like me, but how 'bout cuttin' me a break this one time? Bad guy. You find, me stop. Got it?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Ramrod: We tried to kill DA Young, but Batman...
 * Dr. Abel Cuvier: Forget Batman! It was your weakness that ruined my plan!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: Good bad dog.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [After Batman shoots Tigress and turns her back to normal]
 * Ramrod: What did you do to her?
 * Batman: Let's just say I put the cat out.
 * Ramrod: No! I'll never go back to being a nobody!
 * [Batman tries to fire but is out of antidote needles; Ramrod charges and Batman grabs Ramrod by his nose ring and throw him to the statues, neither aware that while Cuvier starts splicing himself]
 * Batman: [While reloading the cure inside the gun] Have a dose of reality, pal. You're gonna need it.
 * [Shoots Ramrod and turns himself back to normal, then notices Cuvier's shadow heading towards the next room; he walks down and creeps up against the walls]
 * Batman: I fixed your pets, Doc! Now, it's just you and me! So come out and fight me, man to freakshow!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dr. Cuvier: [as a powerful spliced hybrid] Look at me! The abilities of the entire animal kingdom are at my command! What can one blind little bat do against that?
 * Batman: The best I can.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: [Before Cuvier in his spliced form tries to kill Ace, which Batman intervenes] Don't touch my dog!

Earth Mover [2.2]

 * Batman: You're getting a little ahead of me.
 * Bruce: Don't you read the news? It was only ten years ago.
 * Batman: I was seven.
 * Bruce: Oh.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: Interesting.
 * Terry McGinnis: "Interesting?" That's all you can say? It was unbelievable!
 * Bruce Wayne: A word I rarely use.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: What did you find out from your friend Jackie?
 * Terry McGinnis: Not much, only that Wallace isn't her real father.
 * Bruce Wayne: Not her father. Now that's interes...um, promising.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Jackie Wallace: If I spent as much time studying as I do practicing my cheers, I'd actually have an education by now.
 * Dana Tan: A girl's gotta have her priorities.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: Where do I start?
 * Bruce: Well we've got a rough idea where the house is, and we know the underground rivers can take you almost anywhere in the city. That's the good news.
 * Batman: And the bad news?
 * Bruce: Everything else.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Jackie Wallace: My father...
 * Batman: He's not your father. Not really, he's... a ghost.

Joyride [2.3]

 * Pilot 1: Ha, ha, ha! First thing they're going to do when they get back to Gotham is tell their buds that martians are coming.
 * Pilot 2: Second thing. First they got to get their pants cleaned.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Coe: It is a U.F.O., isn't it?
 * Scab: Wake up, Coe! All the writing's in English.
 * Coe: You can read?!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Scab: I know what this thing is.
 * Coe: What?
 * Scab: Ours.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: I think it's some sort of military vehicle: real fast and maneuverable.
 * Bruce Wayne: So stop them.
 * Batman: That's easy for you to say.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Batman: [after telling Coe that his "bros" left him] Look's like you're an only child now.

Lost Soul [2.4]

 * Bruce Wayne : I had to shut down the computer when Vance’s program tried to get in. If you want out of the cave, you're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way.
 * Terry McGinnis: You're kidding.
 * Bruce Wayne: None of the Robins ever complained.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: Terry, it's only the suit that's out of commission. Not Batman.

<hr width="50%"/>

 * Stalker: A hunting accident. The panther was wounded. And I was careless.
 * [flashback: a panther pounces on him and mauls him]
 * Matt McGinnis: Ouch.
 * Stalker: My back was broken in five places. They had to replace my spine. [flashback of him in the operating room] The operation was excruciating. [He screams in pain as they operate on his spine, then you see him hanging from the ceiling] But it artificially enhanced my strength and reflexes. After I recovered, I went back. And with my bare hands, got my revenge. [flashback: he kills the panther that mauled him in direct combat] It was easy... too easy. I had become so powerful, no prey could challenge me. To one who lives for the thrill of the hunt, this was a tragedy. My life was over, until I heard that the legendary Batman had returned.

Final Cut [2.15]

 * Max Gibson: Specs on this model say the signal has a range of only two miles.
 * Terry McGinnis: Well, how does that help us find the bomb?
 * Max Gibson: This is why you should try to pay attention in geometry, McGinnis. Look: he reset the timer once here, where you met him; he was going to meet you at the park, so he would have had to set it there. And he must have set it at least once from the hotel...

 * Batman: He's been going on like this for hours, telling them how worthless they are, and how only he can help them. Won't even let 'em go to the bathroom!
 * Bruce Wayne: Sleep deprivation, endless harangues; it's classic brainwashing. Some cults do it. It's also occasionally used on prisoners of war.
 * Batman: And Wheeler's doing it to kids.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: What do we need more evidence for? You taped the feed from my fingertip mikes, didn't you? All you gotta do is take it to the authorities.

It's total sense deprivation - no light, no sound. He uses it on the kids who don't get with the program. It...It... [starts breaking down] Terry, you've got to get me out of here!

 * Dr. Stanton: Maybe some trauma in his past.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce: Why weren't you watching your back?
 * Batman: I was too busy watching my front. Am I supposed to have eyes everywhere?
 * Bruce: Only if you want to live to a ripe old age.
 * Batman: You don't make it sound too inviting.

 * Bruce Wayne: By the way, exactly what did you say in that group to get Payback so mad at me? You must've given quite a convincing performance.
 * Terry McGinnis: Who said anything about performing?

Where's Terry? [2.25]

 * Terry McGinnis: So what'd you think of it, Howard?
 * Howard Groote: Been there, done that.

<hr width="50%"/>

Ace in the Hole [2.26]

 * Bruce Wayne: What did he do to you, boy?

King's Ransom [3.1]

 * Queen: Brilliant! Another plan that can't fail! Father was right about you! Oh, he had you pegged!
 * King: Shut up!
 * Queen: You're nothing but empty bluff!
 * King: You think I'm bluffing? YOU THINK I'M BLUFFING?!

 * Bruce Wayne: Luckily, so did I.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * King: Donna, my dear, I-I can explain!
 * Queen: Explain what? That you're a lying philanderer? That you've destroyed our family? That I've wasted the best years of my life on you?
 * King: Nothing I ever did was good enough for Your Royal Highness! Well, I want out, and no one's going to stop me!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * King: I couldn't stand it anymore! The constant comparison! Do you have any idea what it's like living in someone's shadow?!

 * Paxton Powers: Hey, I resent that! Where's my lawyer? I'll sue! I'll own this place when I'm through with you! You're all gonna work for the sanitation department!

Untouchable [3.2]

Inqueling [3.3]

 * Batman: He expects me to work even harder while he's gone!
 * Max Gibson: Why?
 * Batman: He always thinks something bad's going to happen the minute he leaves town. [sky lights up] And somehow he's always right.

<hr width="50%"/>

 * Deanna Clay: You never gave me anything except money, mother. How did you expect me to turn out?

Big Time [3.4]

 * Terry McGinnis: Guys, this is Charlie "Big Time" Bigelow. Charlie was always scheming about how he was going to make it big and the name stuck.
 * Charlie Bigelow: And T.T. is Tiny Terry, 'cause he was always thinking small.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: Dana, you remember Charlie?
 * Dana Tan: I remember who he is. Do you?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: A job, Charlie? I have a life now. School, a real job. And you just got out of jail. You know how long they'll throw you back for number two? Don't you wanna do anything with your life?
 * Charlie Bigelow: Hey, ease up, Tiny. You only have that nice life because of me. You owe me for playing your part down.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: No. I can't risk it.
 * Terry McGinnis: 'Cause he's an ex-con? You know about my record. You trust me with all this.
 * Bruce Wayne: You didn't spend three years in prison.
 * Terry McGinnis: That's right. He did and I didn't. All because I happened to be underage. He and I were the same, Bruce, only I caught a break. I just want to give him one too.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Karros: You sure you're ready for the big time, kid?
 * Charlie Bigelow: Are you kidding? Big Time's my middle name.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: Charlie was 18 and I was 14. My folks were breaking up and he and I were being angry kids, busting windows, shoplifting. Then Charlie decided to prove himself to this big gang and he dragged me along on a heist. I didn't even know what we were doing till he was climbin' in the window.
 * Max Gibson: But you went in, too?
 * Terry McGinnis: Never said I was bright. Next thing I knew, the cops were shouting "Freeze", and I was doing 90 days in juvie. That was a slap on the wrist next to Charlie. He was in prison for three years.
 * Max Gibson: And that's why you've been running around with guilt ever since he rolled into town. You don't owe him anything.
 * Terry McGinnis: He's my friend, Max. And he's gonna die if I don't do something.
 * Max Gibson: You're not going to bring him to his senses. He needs to do that himself.
 * Terry McGinnis: Maybe I can at least keep him alive until he does.

Out of the Past [3.5]

 * "Batman": I am vengeance...I am the night...I am...Batman!
 * Road Runner: (to the viewers) Listen, everybody. As we tell you The Legend of Batman The Musical Play.

 * Terry McGinnis: Lighten up. It's your birthday.
 * Bruce Wayne: Don't remind me.
 * Terry McGinnis: C'mon, took me weeks to get tickets for this show. It's schway.
 * Bruce Wayne: It's schw-arbage. [gets up and leaves]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * James Gordon: Good work, Caped Crusader! Once again, you've saved our fair city from those vile miscreants!
 * Batman: They were no problem, Commissioner! For as we all know, criminals are...[singing] A superstitious cowardly lot! They plan and plot but they always get caught!
 * Gordon/Batman: Their evil plans all come to naught! (with Terry McGinnis singing) A superstitious cowardly lot!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: I've read a lot about you too. You're the daughter of Ra's al Ghul, one of the old man's worst enemies from way back. You helped Batman fight Ra's one last time in the Near-Apocalypse of '09. For the last couple of decades you been putting your father's money to work cleaning up the mess he made. Current residence is a two hundred acre estate on New Cuba.
 * [Bruce gives Terry a surprised look]

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Talia al Ghul: Ra's al Ghul was a man of many contrasts. Leader, environmentalist-
 * Terry McGinnis: Sociopath.
 * [Talia brings up her ear, indicating she heard that]
 * Terry McGinnis: Sorry.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Ra's al Ghul: You always were the perfect specimen, Detective. Even old age has not softened you as much as I had feared.
 * Bruce Wayne: I should have known you'd cheat death again, Ra's.
 * Ra's al Ghul: I don't cheat death, I master it. Though I assure you, this time my longevity comes at a price most dear.
 * Bruce Wayne: Talia...
 * Ra's al Ghul: I did indeed survive our last battle, but my body was broken far beyond the pit's powers to heal. In order to save my life, I called upon Talia to undertake the ultimate act of loyalty.
 * Bruce Wayne: [outraged] You sacrificed her! Your own daughter!
 * Ra's al Ghul: I did what I had to do. At the time, this computer could only imprint my thoughts and memories on a close genetic match. But now this youthful form has served its purpose. I must move on to a new host body: yours!
 * Bruce Wayne: [sarcastically] Sure, Ra's, why not? Anything to hold off the Grim Reaper another few seconds. [contemptuous] I take it back. You don't cheat death - you whimper in fear of it.
 * Ra's al Ghul: SILENCE! [slaps Bruce]
 * Bruce Wayne: And you hit like a girl.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Ra's al Ghul: Don't waste your contempt on me, Detective. When Talia offered you youth again, you fairly drooled to take it. A simple blow to your ego. That staged incident with the flat tire was all I needed to ensnare you.
 * Bruce Wayne: I guess for a moment I was as weak as you, Ra's!
 * Ra's al Ghul: This computer will finally still that insolent tongue. I've refined it so I no longer need a genetic match. Your brainwaves will be purged as mine are implanted in their place. I shall return to Gotham in your stead, bringing with me proof, both written and genetic, that I am the long forgotten son of Bruce Wayne and Talia. How ironic that your company and holdings will fund my new empire.
 * [Batman slices through the machine with Batarangs, stopping the process]
 * Ra's al Ghul: No!
 * Batman: Lady, that is the sickest thing I've ever seen. You're creeping me out!
 * Bruce Wayne: You?! She kissed me!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [Ra's compound has just exploded and he, in Talia's body, was inside]:

 * Bruce Wayne: [about Talia] She was a very special woman.
 * Terry McGinnis: The special woman?

 * [Bruce looks at the screen with Talia's picture]

 * Bruce Wayne: It's been a while.
 * Superman: You seem to be holding up pretty well.
 * Bruce Wayne: I could use some of that Kryptonian DNA.
 * Superman: You'll outlive us all, Bruce. You're too stubborn to die.
 * Bruce Wayne: [looks at Terry] What are you smiling at?

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Superman: Stick with Warhawk. He needs your help.
 * Batman: [sarcastically] Right. Warhawk. My good buddy.

 * Bruce Wayne: That's one way to make friends.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Bruce Wayne: This isn't the first time Superman's gone rogue. I made sure I’d be ready if it ever happened again. I always hoped I'd never have to use it.

 * Bruce Wayne: Do whatever it takes, but make sure you stop him.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * [After seeing Superman betray them on a screen]
 * Barda: I don't believe it.
 * Aquagirl: It is hard to accept..
 * Barda: No, I mean I don't believe this thing.
 * Batman: It came straight off the Batmobile's recorder.
 * Barda: And that's supposed to convince me? I know even less about your vehicle than I do about you!
 * Batman: What reason would I have to make up any of this?
 * Barda: What reason would Superman have to kill Warhawk? It's easier for me to believe that you fabricated this.
 * Batman: Listen lady, I never asked to be part of this club. You people just came to me.
 * Barda: That was only Superman who came to you and now you're accusing him of murder! It doesn't make sense.
 * Batman: I know it doesn't, but we're never gonna get to the bottom of it unless you open your eyes and stop being so pigheaded!
 * Barda: Pigheaded?!

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Big Barda: Let go of me, Lantern!
 * Green Lantern: Not until you calm down.
 * Warhawk: Yeah, Barda. Calm down. The kid's right.
 * Aquagirl: Warhawk! How did you-
 * Warhawk: I wasn't in the armor. I was operating it by remote. That's the only reason I'm not dust right now.
 * Green Lantern: Very shrewd. Not like you.
 * Batman: Tell me something: What made you decide to get out of the armor?
 * Warhawk: The emergency call...and me being the only one who got it. With everything that had been happening, I got suspicious. I told him not to tag along, but he disobeyed. I like that.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Warhawk: Fine, let him explain...and then I'll rip his arms off.

<hr width="50%"/>

 * Batman: Any chance of getting it off?
 * Green Lantern: I must remind you, this not just one alien species before us, it's two, and I do not yet understand the subtleties of their interaction.
 * Warhawk: I'll take that as an "I don't know."

<hr width="50%"/>

 * Superman: More than you think, son. More than you think.

Betrayal [3.9]

 * Bruce Wayne: Terry, leave this to the police.

 * Bruce Wayne: Because Charlie "Big Time" is your friend.
 * Terry McGinnis: Was my friend.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Terry McGinnis: Wait a minute. You're thinking I didn't do everything I could to stop him because he used to be my friend.

 * Bruce Wayne: So you figured you'd teach him Bushido.
 * Kairi Tanaga: He needed a code. A philosophy. A sense of right and wrong. It worked for the Samurai warriors.
 * Bruce Wayne: But obviously not for Zander.

<hr width="50%"/>
 * Dr. Childes: I told you it would never work. I'll have her eliminated.

Countdown [3.12]

 * Mad Stan: You think these ideas are new? Forget it, man! It's the same old story. We're a push-button society. Technology makes our heads soft, our bodies weak, but I've got a new idea, Blow it up! Blow it up!

 * Terry McGinnis: What kind of little joke?
 * Max Gibson: Just somethin' about how this school sees more of Batman than it does of you. [Terry glares at her] I know, it it wasn't that funny.
 * Terry McGinnis: Max!
 * Max Gibson: I'm sorry, okay?
 * Terry McGinnis: You can't even joke about this, understand?!
 * Max Gibson: It just slipped out. And I don't get what the big deal is anyway. If a few more people knew your secret, especially a certain girlfriend, life might be a lot easier for you.
 * Terry McGinnis: Oh yeah, just like with the Diaz kid, remember how easy that got. [Max looks questioningly at him] Come on, it was all over the net.
 * Max Gibson: The net's a big place, McGinnis.
 * Terry McGinnis: It happened right after I started being Batman. There was this kid, Miguel Diaz. Around the same age as my brother. He was ganzo over the new action-figure, Soldier Sam.
