Batman quotes from Batman: The Brave and the Bold

So, teach, how'd we do?

Batman

Impressively. You've learned to take control, to anticipate. You even knew to take out the bridge to prevent the rest of Kobra's cultists from joining the fight.

Bridge?

More cultists?

Uh... whoops.

The decision, my Doom Patrol, lies with you.

Well, Chief, you taught us that all men are our brothers.

The Pilgrims were just ordinary men and women, too, but they longed for freedom and were willing to fight for it.

And the people who wouldn't bow to the Pharaoh, they were just ordinary shepherds and farmers.

I guess you have your answer, General.

Fire away!

So be it!

Batman

It's over, General.

Not quite. The real detonator... is here. [presses a button on his hat]

Batman

No!

I'll give you one last chance to choose me over oblivion. What do you say?

Batman

Leaves of three, let them be.

Booster Gold

I don't get it. If we want to fix the future, why didn't we travel to just before I showed up before, then, tell me not to visit Ted?

Batman

That would just create another dangerous time paradox.

Booster Gold

Or, better yet, go back to just before I left to come here to stop me then.

Batman

That's not how time travel works.

Booster Gold

Wait a minute. What about visiting my mother before I was born? And...

Batman

Look, I'm not going to explain the intricacies of time travel to a man without a library card.

Batman

You never said you and Booster were friends.

It never came up.

Batman

A consummate professional like you friends with a dilettante like Booster?

You're both my friends, okay? You're more of a work friend, and Booster is more a fun friend.

Batman

What's more fun than fighting crime?

Booster Gold

Ooh, he's got you there.

We caught you red-handed, Firefly!

Batman

But you'll be black-and-blue if you don't give yourself up.

Batman. Color me unimpressed.

Bat-Mite

Don't get me wrong, that was a cool fight and all, but it was strictly C-list!

Batman

I don't play favourites. Every criminal must be brought to justice.

Bat-Mite

But a hero is measured by the strength of his adversary. You're way better than Ten-Eye. The whole reason I've come back is I wanna see the ultimate face-off!

Batman

Your obsession with me is flattering, Bat-Mite, but it's not healthy.

I thought you said help was on the way?

Batman

It is. We just need to hold off Bug-Eyed Bandit a little longer.

Well, I hope you called the most intelligent, quick-witted hero you could find.

Sorry I'm late, old chums.

We're doomed.

Green Arrow

You're lucky I keep Star City so clean, Bats. Otherwise I wouldn't have time to pick up your slack as an intergalactic cop.

Batman

Yes, I remember when I was only responsible for a single city instead of a country, planet, solar system, and overall existence of all known life.

Batman

You can be gentle.

Have to be. Kittens are not just cute. But also delicate and defenseless.

Batman

Okay, Proto, you're back on the mission. But only if you promise to treat every citizen as if they were a kitten. Delicate, cute, and defenseless.

Batman

Thanks for the assist, O'Brian. We can't let these hoodlums disrupt Election Day.

Plastic Man

So that's why there are all of those flags everywhere. I just figured today was the Fourth of July or something.

Batman

It's January.

Plastic Man

I know. That's why it seemed so weird to me.

Step aside! I'm about to blow out an old flame.

Batman

Sorry, Frost, but I make it my business to protect innocent lives.

Innocent?! You call the man who broke up with me via text message innocent?!

Batman

Incredible.

Jason Rusch

Really?

Ronnie Raymond

Quick and painless. It was the humane thing to do.

I could've handled that indignity if he didn't make me pay for all of our dates!

Jason Rusch

What is wrong with you, Coach?

Ronnie Raymond

Hey! How did I become the bad guy here?

This is only the beginning, candlestick!

Batman

Good job, Firestorm, but remember: archenemies can be a deadly business.

Jason Rusch

Great. Now she's your ex and your archenemy.

Ronnie Raymond

(scoffs) Like there's a difference?

Batman

Boom Tubes. Dimensional portals used by the forces of Apokolips.

Then adventure calls.

Let's get down there so you punks can see a real hero in action.

Ice

The Greeks must be stopped!

Booster Gold

Got to text my publicist. Skeets! How many p's in "impending"?

Skeets

One, sir.

Fire

Is this suit too short for world-saving?

Blue Beetle

Umm, I wonder if it's short enough?

Dr. Sivana

Another flawlessly executed heist, tanks to the superior intellect of me, Dr. Sivana!

Batman

And another ten years behind bars, you fiendish physicist.

Dr. Sivana

Batboob. Have a face full of science, you big lummox!
