Bruce Wayne quotes from Batman Beyond

Terry McGinnis

So get this, my school counselor says my problem is I lack direction.

Bruce Wayne

Go to the hall of records, I'm showing a break-in at their databank.

Terry McGinnis

Somehow I don't think that's what she meant by direction.

That's all you can find for Eldon Michaels? An address?

Bruce

I searched everywhere for information about him. I found nothing. Not even a birthday.

Maybe he really is from outer space.

Bruce Wayne

It's not easy to give up being God.

I guess you'd know.

Bruce

Why weren't you watching your back?

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.

You don't make it sound too inviting.

You're a mean old man, you know that?

Bruce

Mm-hmm. And what are you?

I'm your worst nightmare!

Bruce

You have no idea what my nightmares are like.

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?

Bruce Wayne

Have you seen anything?

Max Gibson

No.

Bruce Wayne

Then why do I need you?

Max Gibson

Have you seen anything? [Bruce scowls]

Max Gibson

I'm staying. I want to find Terry, too.

Bruce Wayne

Go home.

Max Gibson

Make me.

Bruce Wayne

What kept you?

They had an Ace in the hole.

Bruce Wayne

Luckily, so did I.

What makes you think that you can rummage through my files like you own the place?

Bruce Wayne

Because I do. Bruce Wayne.

Bruce Wayne

Anything broken?

If I said yes, could I go home?

Bruce Wayne

No.

Bruce Wayne

When I was younger, women used to throw themselves at my feet all the time.

Terry McGinnis

What'd you do?

Bruce Wayne

I stepped over them.

Terry McGinnis

Smooth.

Bruce Wayne

I thought so.

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.

I am vengeance...I am the night...I am...Batman!

(to the viewers) Listen, everybody. As we tell you The Legend of Batman The Musical Play.

(to the viewers reading with a tuxedo) In the city plagued by crime there is but one man dedicated to eradicating this disease, his name is Batman. (spotlights Batman singing)

[singing] Batman!

Batman!

Batman!

There is a song the good folks sing!

Song the good folks sing!

Batman!

About a hero on the wing!

Hero on the wing!

Batman!

I am Gotham's Darkest Knight, the villains' darkest fright, turn on the signal light, (with Male and Female Chorus and Robin) for Batman! Batman!

Bruce Wayne

[to Terry] You hate me, don't you?

Terry McGinnis

Lighten up. It's your birthday.

Bruce Wayne

Don't remind me.

Good work, Caped Crusader! Once again, you've saved our fair city from those vile miscreants!

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!

Their evil plans all come to naught! (with Terry McGinnis singing) A superstitious cowardly lot!

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]
