Quotes 

• Timothy Drake : I owe you big time, kid.

  Terry McGinnis : Forget about it.

  Timothy Drake : For what it's worth, Bruce couldn't have picked anyone better to put on the mask.

  Terry McGinnis : [smiles]  Coming from you, that means everything.

• Timothy Drake : [while working on a communications array] 

  Timothy Drake : [not even looking up]  You might as well show yourself, I heard you coming a mile away.

  Terry McGinnis/Batman : [Batman becomes visible] 

  Terry McGinnis/Batman : You knew I was here?

  Timothy Drake : I'm no Boy Wonder anymore, but that old training never goes away, even at my age.

• Terry McGinnis/Batman : Where's the Joker?

  Timothy Drake : Joker?

  Terry McGinnis/Batman : Drop the act. I know you're working for him.

  Timothy Drake : No. Joker's gone. I don't know where he is. Really.

  Bruce Wayne : The suit's sensors aren't picking up any pulse fluctuations. He's telling the truth.

  Timothy Drake : I don't do this anymore. I have a home and family. I gave this up years ago. Kid's stuff. That's all it was.

  Terry McGinnis/Batman : He may be telling the truth, but he's still whack.

  Timothy Drake : Fun and games. Boy Wonder playing hero. Fighting off bad guys and no one ever gets... oh God. I killed him. I didn't mean to. I tried so hard to forget. But I still hear the shot. Still see the dead smile. Every night, the dreams get stronger... he's there when I sleep. Whispering! Laughing! Telling me that I'm as bad as he is! We're both the same!

  Terry McGinnis/Batman : I'm calling an ambulance.

  Timothy Drake : No. I'm all right. Forgive me, Terry, old nasty memories twist inside me like bad oysters. Nothing, really. I'm perfectly fine now.

  Terry McGinnis/Batman : How do you know my name?

  Timothy Drake : There's nothing about you I don't know, Bat-fake.

  [throws the steel ball he is holding, which turns into an electric claw and grabs Terry by the arm, Terry collapses to the ground, immobilized] 

  Bruce Wayne : Terry!

  Timothy Drake : Have a time out, kid. Can't let you spoil the party too soon. And Brucie, I'm sure you've got Batboy wired somehow. That's just peachy. Because I want you to see every minute of this. It's a killer.

  [laughs hysterically, holding his head, and after a while, becomes the Joker] 

  The Joker : [takes off the lab coat, showing the purple tights underneath]  Oh, I never get tired of doing that!

  Terry McGinnis/Batman : Drake, you're the Joker?

  The Joker : That flabby oaf doesn't realize I'm using him as a time share. Beneath this puckish exterior lies the mind of a genius years ahead of my time. In the weeks young Robin was under my tutelage, I used him as the subject of my greatest experiment. Using cutting-edge genetics technology which I pinched here and there, I encoded my DNA in a microchip and set it in Bird Boy's bird brain.

• Timothy Drake : Me and the others gave everything, but it just wasn't enough for the old man. I used to think, if I went on long enough, someday he'd retire and I'd... ah, the heck with it. Capes, costumes, bad guys - it was kid's stuff! Bruce probably did me a favor. By the end, I was so sick of it I never wanted to see that stupid Robin suit again...!

  [he turns around; Batman is gone] 

  Timothy Drake : Some things never change.
