Batman quotes from Batman Beyond

These things happen! We can still be friends!

Friends? FRIENDS?!

Wrong thing to say?

Is it ever the right thing?

Didn't know you had a shadow, did you, Commissioner?

Barbara Gordon

Spellbinder?!

He was there at the garage with us. He used his powers to create an illusion.

Barbara Gordon

That's why I saw you kill Mad Stan.

But I didn't. I wouldn't.

Spellbinder

[restrained by officers] You were so ready to believe the worst. It was easy.

Barbara Gordon

Lock him up. [to Batman] Sorry, kid. I guess I blew it.

[smiling] I've been there.

...easiest thing in the world, being a teenager: you get up, you go to school, you come home, and you do your homework. How do you mess that up? Yet all of you did, in one way or another ― and now I have to clean up that mess!

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.

And Wheeler's doing it to kids.

No!

Stay out of this!

You've made your point! This place is crashed and Wheeler's going to jail!

I don't care! The only reason I went along with it was cause I was hoping I could get a chance for this!

Don't you get it? You helped save everyone! You're a hero now!

A hero? [laughs cruelly]

Having those stomach problems again?

Ian Peek

Yeah-huh. It's probably just tension.

Well, I'd be tense too if I was out there exposing the mob.

Ian Peek

They're nothing to worry about. I'm untouchable.

That's exactly what I think - untouchable. [turns off his camouflage]

Ian Peek

[to the manager] Don't you have a boot to lick? [to Batman] You were saying?

I'm saying that you, or someone who works for you, figured out a way of moving through walls.

Ian Peek

Moving through walls? If I could do that, I'd be a very rich reporter.

You are.

Ian Peek

I was half expecting you. Come on in... Terry. Once I saw that the old guy was Bruce Wayne, it wasn't hard to figure out who you were. He was the original Batman, wasn't he? Wasn't he?

[storming up to Peek and removing his mask] I don't care what you do to me, but he doesn't deserve this. He's done too much for this city to wind up in the middle of a media circus.

Ian Peek

He means a lot to you, doesn't he?

Yeah, he does.

Ian Peek

I believe you. I really do. That's the trouble with this business. You meet so many liars, you forget what sincerity sounds like. Want to say it all again while I've got the camera rolling?

Peek! You gotta stay solid! Concentrate! Concentrate!

What's gonna happen to him?

Bruce Wayne

My guess? He'll keep right on falling till he reaches the center of the Earth. It's about as "inside" as you can get.

Ma Mayhem

This is getting old, Batman.

Look who's talking.

After you.

Stalker

You don't trust me?

You were out to kill me, remember?

Stalker

There are worse things than an honorable death.

Betcha it's a short list.

Falseface

How did you know?

Not enough pimples.

Falseface

[in pain from the virus] Impossible. After all I've done, Kobra wouldn't...they couldn't...

What did you expect from a pack of vipers?

You risk your neck to save me.

Stalker

It was not your time. When you die, it will be by my hand, and my hand alone.

Thanks. I...guess.

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.

Eldon Michaels

Ow! That hurt!

"Ow! That hurt?"

What this, a word processor?

Eldon Michaels

It's a TYPEWRITER. IT belonged to Philip K. Dick, the greatest writer who ever lived?

You're a writer?

Eldon Michaels

Well duh!
