Batman quotes from Young Justice

Batman

A simple recon mission. Observe and report! You'll each receive written evaluations detailing your many mistakes... Until then - good job... No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy. How you adjust to the unforeseen is what determines success. And how you choose who leads determines character.

Batman

We're done here. This Supervillan Secret Society is neutralized [to the Team] as for your performance - it was satisfactory.

Batman

Superboy return to Cave.

Batman

Tell me if this sounds familiar. You hacked league systems, disobeyed protocol, and endangered your lives. And your initiative resulted in the capture of three escaped felons, proving Warden Strange runs Belle Reve as a cover for criminal activity. Well done.

Batman

Having broken the Light in half, and stopping the alien invasion, the Team will now operate out of the WatchTower, side-by-side with the Justice League. Not because Mount Justice was destroyed, but because you earned it.

See? The Moon!

And Superman. Do we keep our promises, or what?

Batman

[looking at Superboy] Is that what I think it is?

He doesn't like being called an "it."

I'm Superman's clone!

Batman

...Start talking.

Batman

Cadmus will be investigated, all 52 levels. But let's make one thing clear:

You should have called us.

Batman

End results aside, we're not happy. You hacked Justice League systems, disobeyed direct orders, and endangered lives. You will not be doing this again.

I am sorry, but we will.

Aqualad, stand down.

Apologies, my king, but no. We did good work here tonight, the work you trained us to do. Together on our own we forged something powerful, important.

If this is about your treatment at the Hall, the three of you...

The four of us, and it's not.

Batman, we're ready to do what you taught us, or why teach us at all?

Why let them tell us what to do? It's simple. Get on board or get out of the way.

The League will still handle the obvious stuff. There's a reason we have these big targets on our chest.

But Cadmus proves the bad guys are getting smarter. Batman needs a team that can operate on the sly.

Batman

The five of you will be that team.

Cool! Wait. Five?

Batman

This is the Martian Manhunter's niece. Ms. Martian.

Liking this gig more and more every minute

So who's in charge?

Batman

Work that out between you.

So now we take out your trash?

Batman

You had something better to do?

Batman

Complications come with the job. Your ability to handle them has impressed the League.

The whole League?

Batman

Given time, yes. Kryptonians, as you know, have very hard heads

Batman

Of course, there's no shame in asking for help. That's why the League exists. Because there's some problems even we can't handle individually.

Please, if we needed help, we'd never get the chance to ask.

Look familiar? You were following us. Baby-sitting! YOU STILL DON'T TRUST US!

Batman

We didn't follow you.

And that's not your arrow... But that means...

Speedy!

He has our backs.

Batman

I need to talk to Aqualad. The rest of you, hit the showers and head home.

"Head home?" I am home.

I am sorry you had to intervene. I know the team performed poorly.

Batman

The team performed adequately. The problem was you. You're their leader, and your head wasn't in the game.

No, you are [sighs] correct. Of late, I am not even convinced I belong on the surface world. For so many years, it filled my every thought. But now that I am here, my dreams are all of Atlantis.

Batman

Atlantis or someone you left behind? You can split your time between the surface and the sea. But not your mind. Either you're here 100% or you need to walk away. Make a, decision, Kaldur, and make it soon.

Those were Bialyan Republican Army uniforms. But what are Bialyans do in uhh... Bialya! Ok, better question: what am I doing in Bialya - in September? What happened to March? Better radio Batman.

Batman

[flashback] Maintain radio silence at all times.

Or not.

Hey, you, wake up.

Artemis

Mmmm. [groans, then gasps]

Hey it's okay. It's okay. I won't hurt you. I-I'm one of the good guys. You know, Kid Flash.

Artemis

Seen Kid Flash on the news. He doesn't wear black.

Uh, little unclear on that myself. What about you? Green Arrow fixation?

Artemis

[noticing her costume] WHO PUT ME IN THIS?

Wow. I am not touching that with a 10-foot - uh, so you know how to use that bow?

Artemis

Yeah, my dad taught me... DAD! He must've done this. Another of his stupid tests.

What kind of test?

Artemis

He probably wants me to kill you.

Sorry, they've got bigger arrows.

Artemis

Thanks.

Hey, I told you. Good guy. Now, uh- not to pry, but uh- what's your name? Oh, and what's this about you killing me?

[telepathically] Don't worry, I'm almost there.

Artemis

Did you just hear a girl talking in your head?

Girls are always on my mind, but they're not usually talking.

Batman, please, tell me you're not sending us on this joke of a wild ape chase.

Batman

I never joke... about the mission.

Batman

The Justice League will handle the plants. I have a different job for the team.

Oh, man!

Batman

With the plants attacking so many locations simultaneously, there must be a central control system. Your mission is to destroy it.

Zatara

You realize what you're really asking them to do?

Batman

They're ready.

Ready for what?

Ow! Will you cut that-?

Artemis

Hello, Wally! If the big guns are fighting plants, who do you think we'll be fighting?

I don't know. I guess we'll.... Oh.
