Batman Beyond · Season 1
I saw the Royal Flush Gang. Yeah. And they were trashing City Hall along with Inque and Blight and a gazillion Jokerz.
Kid, this line is for emergency calls only! You don't want to get in trouble, do you?
I'm already in trouble! I need Batman! Come on! You got him in a closet there, don't you?
[the operator hangs up]
Twip.
Zeta was picked up by some muscle-bound gorilla with a thing for explosives.
Mad Stan.
I'll go. You're staying here.
But...
Don't make me lock you in!
And just what am I supposed to do while you're gone?
[Batman turns on the radio]
Enjoy.
[sarcastically] Thanks heaps.
Nice man, but he should drive more carefully.
I can't believe you actually trusted Mad Stan! I mean, wasn't the name kind of a giveaway?
But he seemed so...cheerful.
You are so clueless.
Shouldn't he be playing?
He is playing.
I mean with the other children.
Miguel. Why don't you give Soldier Sam a rest and go play with the other boys?
But, Mom.
Come on, you have been doing that all day. Time for something else.
Uh...such aggressive behavior.
[panting] Hi, Max. Sorry I'm late.
What new threat was it this time? Root-rot-man?
[still panting] This time it really was Mr. Wayne. He needed a ride. His back again. Where's Dana?
She got tired of waiting for you. Sounds like an old song, doesn't it?
Well if it isn't Mr. School Spirit.
Don't worry, McGinnis, Batman filled in for ya.
[the two walk away laughing]
What was that about?
I...um...made a little joke.
What kind of little joke?
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.
Max!
I'm sorry, okay?
You can't even joke about this, understand?!
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.
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.
The net's a big place, 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.
It's all right. Don't be afraid.
Get away from me!
Hey, I'm one of the good guys.
You don't look like a good guy.
This [the suit], it's just to scare the bad guys really. Come on. You have to trust me.
Um...
Ah, slag it! [pulls off his mask] Look!
So the kid got on TV and told the whole world how he saw you without your mask?
Yep.
And the old man, he saw the report?
How could he not, it was the news bite of the day.
I didn't. She [Barbara] was in a meeting. I couldn't get through. [pause] Terry?
I think I just handed Miguel over to Kobra.
They've ditched the cars. Don't see the boy.
Follow them.
Like you had to tell me.
The cops were Kobra agents?
Yeah, they must have figured I would be watching over Miguel, so they set up a distraction. The old man never would have fallen for it.
Hey, don't put yourself up. You were just starting out, remember?
And I walked right into it.
