Bruce Wayne quotes from Batman Beyond

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.

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...

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!

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.

SILENCE! [slaps Bruce]

Bruce Wayne

And you hit like a girl.

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!

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.

No!

Lady, that is the sickest thing I've ever seen. You're creeping me out!

Bruce Wayne

You?! She kissed me!

Terry McGinnis

I'm going back! Maybe I can still save-

Bruce Wayne

[grabs his shoulder] Whatever was in there died years ago.

Bruce Wayne

[about Talia] She was a very special woman.

Terry McGinnis

The special woman?

Bruce Wayne

You going on patrol at some point tonight?

Terry McGinnis

[turns and walks away, donning his cowl] See you in the morning.

Bruce Wayne

Rest well, beloved.

Superman

Good to see you, Bruce.

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?

Terry McGinnis

Nothing.

Well, maybe Aquagirl. But I had to save her life to win her over.

Bruce Wayne

That's one way to make friends.

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.

Kryptonite. This…this could kill him, right?

Bruce Wayne

Do whatever it takes, but make sure you stop him.

What's the top speed on this thing?

Bruce Wayne

Mach three.

Is that faster than a speeding bullet?

Bruce Wayne

Terry, leave this to the police.

Terry McGinnis

Why should I do that?

Bruce Wayne

Because Charlie "Big Time" is your friend.

Terry McGinnis

Was my friend.

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

I never said that.

Terry McGinnis

You didn't have to.

Bruce Wayne

What about the suit? Did he have it with him?

Max Gibson

He dropped it. I got it right here.

Bruce Wayne

I'll be right over.

Bruce Wayne

Don't even think of putting it on.

Bruce Wayne

Terry, leave him to the police.

Terry McGinnis

You're starting to repeat yourself, you know that?

Bruce Wayne

I'm sorry, I know how hard it is to go against a friend.

Terry McGinnis

I outgrew him, that's all.

Bruce Wayne

Max, get off the line! Some of us have work to do!

Ouch.

Max Gibson

Well excuse me for living! [sticks her tongue out]

Kairi Tanaga

He's in some kind of cult. I don't know which one, but they're grooming him to be their leader. I wanted to make sure he wouldn't abuse the power.

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.
