Bruce Wayne quotes from Titans

Bruce Wayne

(to Dick) You can't make an informed decision without information.

Bruce Wayne

(to Dick) Not Robin anymore. Stronger, faster... like a bird of prey.

Bruce Wayne

We do not enter the field of battle lightly... neither in heart, nor body, nor mind. Nor do we exit it lightly. We leave a piece of us behind. And sometimes the cost of defending the innocent exceeds what we could ever think to pay. There's only one word for this. Sacrifice. And whether it be recognized in the present... or in some distant time, or never at all... this is the hero's duty.

Bruce Wayne

(to Dick about the Joker) He started it, I ended it. You know what he was doing as I caved in his skull? He was laughing. He laughed at me because he won. You and Barbara were right. It's all a game I should have stopped playing a long time ago. It's over for me now.

Bruce Wayne

[to Jason] If this new girl likes cats, run!

Bruce Wayne

Everything that made sense left my life in one moment.

Bruce Wayne

You can't make that promise, but I can keep it.

Bruce Wayne

Addendum, psych profile, Jonathan Crane. After a detailed study of Crane's criminal record, as well as an assessment of his particular form of psychosis, I can conclude that Crane's efforts are most effective via the use of proxies. Unwitting associates commonly drugged into submissive complacence, as opposed to any direct actions of the dominant personality. In other words, Jonathan Crane, the victim of abuse and neglect, was ill equipped for the Scarecrow's unique form of brutality. Taking into account that Crane's alter ego was the mastermind, while Crane himself, the scientist, the diligent student, was wholly ineffectual. It is my opinion that Crane is one of the most pitiable among Gotham's violent criminals. A broken man without a voice doomed to speak through others.

Bruce Wayne

But fear is a bad mentor.

Dick Grayson

I was mad at fate and death, but those are just concepts, you're a person.

Bruce Wayne

More or less.

Dick Grayson

Is he stable?

Dawn Granger

For the moment. Whatever they shot him with left something behind. Some sort of toxin.

Dick Grayson

Maybe we should take him to a hospital.

Bruce Wayne

Genius. A nice, quiet place where they can finish him off.

Kory Anders

The boy has special abilities.

Dawn Granger

Yeah, I think he's safest here.

Dick Grayson

Okay.

Dawn Granger

I think you should call Bruce. He catalogs these things. He might know who he is.

Bruce Wayne

Hello? Hey, Dick. Oh, sure. I can look the kid up. I just realized what your special skill is. The thing that makes you the natural leader in this group. You're the only one with my phone number.

Kory Anders

Dick?

Dick Grayson

I'll call Bruce.

Dick Grayson

You all right?

Jason Todd

All good.

Bruce Wayne

Of course he's alright. 15 stories of free-falling probably did him good.

Dick Grayson

It's past midnight, you should probably take it easy.

Jason Todd

I don't wanna take it easy. I feel good.

Bruce Wayne

More people should drop their problem children off buildings. It clarifies the mind and body.

Dick Grayson

That was quite the fall you took.

Jason Todd

Yeah, it was hellacious. How did it look from your angle?

Dick Grayson

Scary.

Jason Todd

Well, good thing Conner was there.

Dick Grayson

I'm sorry.

Bruce Wayne

That should do it. Sorry always makes things right. Ah, rest will fix him. Maybe a shrink. Maybe some meds. Uppers, downers, in-betweens. Kid'll be right as rain.

Bruce Wayne

He's lured you away from where you need to be ... who you need to protect.

Dick Grayson

He killed my friend. Nearly killed Jason. He has to be stopped.

Bruce Wayne

Very heroic of you, except you don't give a shit.

Bruce Wayne

Where are you going?

Dick Grayson

I'll be back later.

Donna Troy

People were just shooting at us, and you're gonna go out?

Bruce Wayne

Nothing to worry about, kids. Just a mild psychic split. Anybody need anything? Milk, eggs? Body bags?
