"Stay back!" "[grrr]" "Aah!" "Ohh!" "Uhh!" "Unh." "[sniffs]" "He should have said heel." "[laughing maniacally]" "[grunts]" "Aah!" "Slag it!" "Uhh!" "Unh!" "Uhh!" "Unh!" "He's really got a delicate touch, Dee Dee." "Delicate like a moose, Dee Dee." "I hate rippin' this heavy junk." "Give me cash cards any day." "Zip it, bonk." "The plan is get in and get out, fast." "Huh?" "Huh?" "It's a school night, boys and girls." "I'm gonna have to call your folks." "Uhh!" "uh!" "Uhh!" "uh!" "Oh." "Oh." "Aah!" "Aah!" "Uhh!" "[grunts]" "Bonk..." "don't!" "Yeah, Bonk, don't." "[grunts]" "Huh?" "Aah!" "Whaa!" "Both:" "Unh!" "[grunts]" "Uhh!" "Uhh!" "[grrr]" "Aah!" "Let's go!" "Dee Dee, open the door." "Both:" "On the double." "Uhh!" "Ohh." "Incoming." "[grunts]" "Bonk, you moron, get back here!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Uhh!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "You got a death wish, Bats." "And here I thought I was just being a good citizen." "[grunts]" "Aah!" "Uh!" "Aah!" "Ah!" "Got ya, sis." "Flag pole." "What did you say?" "Flag pole." "Huh?" "Huh?" "!" "Uhh!" "Uh, uh, uhh!" "Oh, oh, ohh!" "Aah!" "Aah" "Come on..." "Ahh!" "Uhh!" "[sirens approaching]" "That ain't comin' out of my allowance." "Still got it." "[jet turbulence]" "How did it go with the Jokerz?" "I broke up the robbery, but it was weird." "Third time this month that particular gang was trying to intercept high-tech machinery." "Jokerz don't use that stuff." "They're probably fencing it." "Corporate espionage is big business." "I may as well sit tight until I can get another shot at 'em." "TV:" "Next up, a real comeback..." "Hey, looky here." "That's right, Tom." "Today Gotham billionaire Bruce Wayne stunned the financial world with his plans to resume active leadership of Wayne Enterprises." "While shareholders have generally welcomed" "Wayne's return, support from some key members of the Wayne board has been oddly lukewarm." "Company Operations Manager Jordan Price offered this comment." "I, of course, join the rest of our Wayne Enterprises' family in welcoming back our most valuable senior resource," "Bruce Wayne." "I'm sure we'll all profit from his years of experience." "Still, the day-to-day rigors of running a vast, multinational conglomerate would be stressful even for a young man." "I hope Mr. Wayne is up to the challenge." "He's not bitter..." "much." "Price was next in line for the top spot." "My return torpedoed any dreams he had of succession." "You gonna keep him around?" "If he'll stay on my terms." "I've worked long and hard to regain control of my family's company, and I won't hand it over again." "Price can either get with that program or start e-mailing his resume." "With all the long hours you're planning on putting in at the office, does this mean you'll have less time for..." "Who sleeps anymore?" "[groans]" "You OK?" "You know the Jokerz are goin' in for splicing now?" "Crazy hyena boy nearly took a bite out of me." "No way I could have explained that to Dana." "You're not going out now." "The night is young and so am I." "I think a good night's rest might be more beneficial." "Like you said, who sleeps anymore?" "[rock plays] [snoring]" "Up and at 'em, Terry." "Uhh." "You can doze on Bruce Wayne's time, not mine." "Sorry, Dane." "♪ Word up ♪" "♪ Word up ♪" "♪ Word up ♪" "Great song, huh?" "Huh." "Did you see the squid Blade's with?" "P.U.!" "Uh." "Ter, my head's on fire." "You look good." "McGinnis!" "[giggles]" "Uh...sorry, babe." "Guess the day was longer than I thought." "Let's sit this one out." "Coffee..." "and leave the pot." "Batman showed up, and we had to ditch." "We were able to save this." "The console's memory board." "I know it's not much, but" "It's not much, it's nothing." "[gasps]" "Losers... all of you, a disgrace to the name Joker." "Why, in my day" "In your day?" "!" "Ever since you conned your way into this gang, it's been your day this, and your day that!" "Bonk" "Your day is over, old man, even if you are who you say you are." "And personally, I think you're a fake." "Ah, brave new world..." "that has such putzes in it." "He's got us running around, ripping a lot of geek junk, but no cash." "He won't tell us what his plan is, if he even has one." "I want out!" "If you insist." "[gasps] [gasps]" "Hey, man, take it easy." "I--I was just kidding." "Ohh." "Uhh!" "So was I. Heh heh heh." "[all sigh] [sighs]" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Oops." "No, I wasn't." "That's also how we did it in my day." "You know, kids, a lot has changed while your old Uncle Joker's been away," "New Gotham, new rules, even a new Batman... but now I'm tanned, I'm rested, and I'm ready to give this old town a wedgy again!" "I have to know you're with me." "Will you say it for me one time?" "We're with you." "A little louder." "We're with you." "Dee Dee?" "We're with you." "Boys?" "We're with you." "Bonk?" "Oh, right!" "Dead." "Dee Dee, be a lamb and sweep out the trash." "There's good girls." "Uhh!" "Uhh!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Your renewed faith puts a smile in my heart." "What say we forget tonight's mishap and start over?" "Great, boss." "Ghoul, my boy, we're going to need another systems scanner." "Who's got one they'd be willing to donate?" "Checking." "What we're after is cutting edge." "These are the only other places we'd find one." "Mmm..." "Nope." "Uh-uh." "Nope." "Ah!" "What, there?" "Security's gonna be tight." "Oh, yes, but think of the fun." "Good evening, Mr. Wayne." "Ms. Carr, you remember my assistant, Terry McGinnis." "Of course." "I'm glad you could join us, Terry." "Everyone is here." "Well, everyone except Mr. Price, unfortunately." "That's no surprise." "Ms. Carr:" "May I have your attention, please?" "It's my pleasure to welcome back the guiding light of this company," "Bruce Wayne." "[applause]" "Thank you, Joyce." "It's a pleasure to see you all again." "In the future, I hope to-- [microphone feedback]" "Oh!" "Ow!" "What is that?" "Man:" "Turn that down." "Uh..." "[clears throat] spend time getting to know each member of our company, learning about you Individually." "[microphone feedback]" "[Joker laughing maniacally]" "What is that all about?" "[grrr]" "Aah!" "Security, emergency on terrace level." "[gasps]" "Hey, look out!" "[coughing]" "[snarling]" "You gonna be OK?" "Go to work." "Well, if it isn't old Mr. Wayne." "Unh." "So debonair." "So dapper." "Unh!" "So decrepit." "Unh!" "Hello, Gotham, Joker's back in town!" "[gasps] [laughing maniacally]" "It can't be." "Oh, no." "Your old eyes do not deceive you, Brucey." "After all, who'd know me better than you?" "Batman:" "Back off, gruesome." "Ah, the new boy." "Ears are too long and I miss the cape, but not too shabby." "Not too shabby at all." "Woof!" "[grrr]" "Joker:" "How's it coming, boys?" "We're home free." "Joker:" "Then I'll see you there." "Time to go, Dee Dee." "[gasps] [gasps] [giggles]" "Unh!" "Uhh." "[grrr]" "[Joker whistles]" "[screaming]" "Aah!" "Help!" "Well, what's it gonna be, Bat fake?" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Ohh." "Ahh." "I know what you're thinking." "I messed up." "I let the clown go in order to save those people." "You did the right thing." "So...the Joker, huh?" "Looks pretty spry for a guy who's gotta be, what-- mid-80s?" "Any theories on that?" "Clone?" "robot?" "Suspended animation due to floating around frozen in a block of ice?" "Shut up and drive." "Yes, sir." "V.R. newsman:" "This was the scene just 3 hours ago as a man claiming to be the legendary Joker disrupted a ceremony at the newly opened" "Wayne Enterprises building." "Honey, what are you watching?" "V.R. newsman:" "Adding to the drama was the appearance of another Gotham icon, the Batman, who engaged his one-time foe in a stunning aerial battle." "Honey?" "It's nothing, sweetheart." "Nothing." "[door opens]" "Go away." "Morning, Commish." "You understand English, McGinnis?" "Scram!" "Love to." "But first, what can you tell me about clowns?" "In this town, they're never funny." "I noticed that." "Now, this Joker" "Drop it, kid." "That's what the old man's been saying." "Listen to him." "Hey, look, I know this fruitcake was one of the big bad guys from the cape and cowl days." "He was more than that." "What, a garden-variety whacko who threatened people with whoopee cushions and squirting flowers?" "Big deal." "I'm shakin'." "McGinnis!" "The Joker, The real Joker, was unlike anyone you've ever faced." "and for your sake, I hope you never do." "If Bruce wants you to drop it, then drop it!" "[intercom beeps]" "Secretary:" "Commissioner, your 9 o'clock is here." "Send him in." "You were leaving?" "Figure I was." "Thanks for seeing me, Barb." "That's what I'm here for." "A countdown of victims that will end at midnight, unless our dear Dark Knight stops me first." "[laughing]" "Hello Gotham, Joker's back in town." "[laughing]" "It's funny..." "I know about all your other major enemies, but you never mention him." "He was the biggest, wasn't he?" "It wasn't a popularity contest." "He was a psychopath, a monster." "So how is it possible he could still be around after all this time?" "It's not possible." "He died years ago." "You're sure?" "I was there." "You killed him, didn't you?" "He was gonna do something so terrible, you had no other choice." "Terry" "That was it, wasn't it?" "I want you to give back the Batman suit." "What?" "Why?" "There is no reason for you to continue." "You've made your father's killers pay for his murder, then put your own needs aside to help the city when it most needed a hero." "You've honored the reputation of Batman many times over, and for that I thank you." "Then why?" "I had no right to force this life on you or anyone else." "Hey, I was the one who broke in and swiped the suit, remember?" "Yes, there was my dad's murder, but we come from 2 different worlds," "Mr. Wayne." "I wasn't like you or the kids you took in." "I was a pretty bad kid once, ran with a rough crowd, broke a lot of laws, to say nothin' of my folks' hearts." "The kind of punk you wouldn't have wasted a second punch on back in the day." "Your point?" "I'm trying to make up for past sins." "The state says my 3 months in juvie wiped me clean, but my soul tells me different." "Every time I put on that suit, it's my chance to help people who are in trouble." "I guess, on a personal level, it's a chance to look like a worthwhile human being again... in my eyes, if no one else's." "It's what I want, Bruce." "Stupid kid." "You don't know what you want." "None of you ever did." "[whimpering]" "Mom, come quick!" "Some weirdo broke into our house!" "Matty, what are you yelling about?" "There's a stranger sitting at our table." "Ha ha." "That's your brother." "I've never seen him before in my life." "It is rare that you're up and around before noon, Terry." "What with your job and all." "I'm not working for Mr. Wayne anymore." "Well, it will be nice to have you home for a change." "Right, Matt?" "Sure." "Great." "Just when I was getting used to being an only child." "Uh!" "Mom!" "[sighs] [rock plays]" "Every once and a while we have to do it, Dane, ditch the guys and have a night out to ourselves." "It may be a change for you, Chelsea," "I don't see enough of Terry to know the difference." "Well, Terry's sweet and all, but who says you can't make friends with someone new?" "Not a chance." "Terry!" "I thought you'd be working, as usual." "Uh-uh." "The bad news is, for the time being," "I'm not gonna have much money comin' in." "The good news is, you have me all to yourself." "I can live with that." "Cutting in." "Hey!" "Uh!" "Mmm!" "Dana?" "[barking]" "What is it, boy?" "Ace!" "[Ace yelps in pain]" "Ace!" "[coughing]" "Joker:" "Don't get up, Bruce." "It's just an old friend come by to say hello." "Hello, Batman." "[laughing maniacally]" "Dana?" "Uhh!" "Watch it." "It was her." "Unh!" "Uhh!" "Don't know why the boss wants a dreg like you out of the way, but, hey, as long as it's fun." "Uhh!" "Aah!" "Hey!" "Terry!" "Aah!" "Uhh!" "Dana!" "Let me go!" "Sure, cutes." "Aah!" "Aah!" "[moans]" "Slag him!" "[gunshots] [screaming]" "Dana?" "Stay out of sight!" "There!" "[grunts]" "What's he doing?" "You've got me." "Just finish him!" "[groaning]" "Aah!" "Aah!" "[breathing heavy]" "Aw, you made a mess, dreg." "Huh?" "Dana!" "She's got a bad bump and some cuts, but she's gonna be OK." "Why were those guys after you?" "I don't know." "Look, I'm gonna go talk to the cops." "Stay with her, OK, Chels?" "I'll come as soon as I can." "Sure." "[siren] [tires squeal]" "[dialing] [beeps]" "Bruce:" "Leave a message." "[beeps]" "Hey, the Joker's little playmates were after me tonight." "Me!" "Not Batman." "This whole thing stinks, Wayne, and you know why." "I need some straight answers from" "Wait." "It's night." "Where does he go?" "Wayne!" "Wayne!" "Ace." "[whimpering]" "[gasps]" "Please, god, no." "[breathes deep] [laughing]" "Floor... under... table... [laughing]" "Aah...ohh." "[strained breathing]" "How is he?" "The antitoxin's done all it can." "It's up to him now." "Thanks for comin'." "I didn't know who else to call." "Who else is there?" "That reminds me," "I'd better check on our other patient." "[crying]" "Oh!" "What have I done?" "I killed the little rabbit." "I don't deserve to live." "[crying]" "I wish I were dead!" "How ya doin', killer?" "[groans]" "Yeah, rough night for me, too." "Sad news from the financial world this morning." "The return of Bruce Wayne to his family's company has been delayed due to an accident." "Wayne Enterprise's Jordan Price had this to say." "We received a call from Mr. Wayne's houseboy this morning, saying Mr. Wayne had taken a bad fall." "Everyone at the Wayne Enterprises' family sends their prayers and good wishes to our senior member for his speedy recovery." "I'll bet." "Not every creep in Gotham wears a purple suit." "It'd make my job simpler if they did." "The Joker knew about Bruce, about me... probably about you, too." "Someone knows, I'll give you that, but it's not the Joker, not the real one." "Bruce said he was dead." "And?" "That's it." "I know there's more." "Barbara, I'm a part of this." "I need the answers Bruce can't give me." "I deserve them." "I thought talking about it would get easier over time, but some hurts never go away." "Dick Grayson-- Nightwing--had left to establish himself in another city." "There were 3 of us then:" "Bruce, myself, and Robin--Tim Drake." "Barbara:" "Robin was out alone that night when he came upon a woman in trouble." "Woman:" "Help!" "Help!" "Somebody please help!" "Hero time." "Oh!" "Oh!" "That evens things up a little." "Not really, bird-boy." "[laughs]" "A bird in the hand..." "Barbara:" "We soon realized Tim was missing." "Night after night, we scoured the city... running down every lead... pressing every underworld connection." "but no one had seen any sign of Robin." "for 3 agonizing weeks there was nothing." "Then one night we were sent an invitation." "Arkham." "Barbara:" "The asylum had been moved to a newer, high-security building." "The old building had been partially demolished, and hung open like a rotting wound." "[thunder]" "Woman: ♪ Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird ♪" "♪ and if that mockingbird don't sing ♪" "♪ Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring ♪" "♪ and if that diamond ring turns brass ♪" "♪ Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass ♪" "♪ and if that looking glass gets broke-- ♪" "Puddin'!" "Company!" "Hello, there." "Welcome to our happy abode." "Where's Robin?" "Robin?" "There's no Robin here." "Harley:" "Maybe he means our little J." "Of course!" "That's it!" "Aah!" "Uh-uh." "No peeking." "Mommy's little helper." "You know, Bats." "We've been doing this little run around of ours for years." "It's been loads of laughs, but the sad fact is none of us are getting any younger." "That old clock's a-tickin'." "Quite right, Pooh" "And harley and I were thinking" "It was time to start a family." "Add a Joker, jr." "to our merry brood." "But rather than go through all the joy of childbirth, we decided to adopt." "We couldn't do it legally, but then we remembered you always had a few spare kids hanging around... so we borrowed one." "No." "My god." "He needed a little molding, of course." "What kid doesn't?" "But in time, we came to love him as our own." "Say hello, J.J." "[maniacal laughter]" "Aah!" "[maniacal laughter]" "[gasps]" "Robin!" "Robin!" "[maniacal laughter]" "Tim, it's Barbara." "Can you hear me?" "Robin!" "Stop!" "Hands off, Bratgirl." "Sweetie, get mommy's bazooka." "[thunder] [heavy breathing]" "[thunder]" "How could you help Joker do it, Harley?" "Ok, so he roughed the kid up a little, but I'll make it right." "Yeah, you're mother of the stinking year." "Ha!" "You'll see." "We'll be one big happy family." "[whistle]" "Good boy!" "Ha!" "[gasps]" "[screaming]" "[screaming]" "[thunder]" "Joker:" "What's the matter, Batman?" "No witty comeback?" "No threat?" "Then I'll provide the narration." "Joker:" "I'll begin with how I peeled back the layers of the boy's mind." "Well, he bravely tried to fight it at first." "You would have been proud to see him so strong." "But all too soon the serums and the shocks took their toll, and the dear lad began to share such secrets with me, secrets that are mine alone to know..." "Bruce." "It's true, Batsy." "I know everything." "And kind of like the kid who peeks at his Christmas presents," "I must admit it's sadly anticlimactic." "Behind all the sturm and batarangs you're just a little boy in a play suit crying for mommy and daddy." "It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic." "Oh, what the heck." "I'll laugh anyway." "[maniacal laughter]" "If you don't like the movie" "I've got slides." "I'll break you in two." "Oh, Batman," "If you had the guts for that kind of fun you would have done it years ago." "I, on the other hand..." "Aah!" "Aah!" "You've lost, Batman." "Robin is mine." "The last sound you'll hear will be our laughter." "Here you go, sonny boy." "Make Daddy proud." "Deliver the punchline." "[maniacal laughter]" "Tim." "Do it!" "Aah!" "Uhh!" "That's not funny." "That's not--[gasping]" "[maniacal laughter]" "[sobbing]" "It's OK, Tim." "It's OK." "Barbara:" "We buried the Joker deep beneath Arkham." "The only other person who knew what happened that night was my father, the first Commissioner Gordon." "He promised to keep our secret." "With his last act of cruelty, the Joker had tainted us all with compromise and deception." "I suppose he had the last laugh after all." "I'm assuming his girlfriend bought it, too." "We never found her body, but I doubt she'd be starting trouble now." "And Tim?" "We had a trusted friend, Dr. Leslie Tompkins." "It took her a year, but she was able to help Tim back to sanity." "Still, things were never really the same." "Bruce forbade Tim to be Robin again." "He blamed himself for what happened and swore he'd never endanger another young partner." "Tim left us soon after that, determined to make it on his own." "Did they ever patch things up?" "Tim tried once or twice, but you know Bruce." "I check up on Tim now and then." "He's a top level communications engineer, married, couple kids." "Not too bad, all things concerned." "He deserved a happy ending." "But he still has the most likely connection to that night." "It looks OK on this side." "I'm going up to the dish." "You might as well show yourself." "I heard you a mile away." "I'm no boy wonder anymore, but that old training never goes away, even at my age." "Tim Drake." "You heard about Bruce?" "Barbara told me." "That was too bad." "You're not too broken up." "I had nothing to do with it, despite what you might be thinking." "When the Joker reappeared," "I was just as surprised as anyone." "Barb told you the gory details?" "More or less." "Look, it's been almost 40 years." "It wasn't easy, but I managed to put it to bed and go on with my life." "You'll have to do it yourself one day." "We all did." "We gave our best, but in the end, that wasn't good enough for the old man." "Regrets, Mr. Drake?" "When I was younger, part of me thought I would go on and on, and someday--ahh... capes, costumes, playing hero-- it was kid's stuff." "Bruce probably did me a favor." "In the end, I was so sick of it," "I never wanted to see that stupid Robin suit again." "Some things never change." "Were all of you that bitter when you left?" "Comes with the territory, McGinnis." "Look up Nightwing someday." "Has he got stories." "Drake's clean anyway." "I've got one more lead to check out, someone with a definite grudge to hold against Bruce Wayne." "Caviar, soft music, and charming company." "Amy, my dear, I can't think of any better way to celebrate my ascension to CEO of Wayne Enterprises." "Me, neither." "[gasps] Me, neither." "You?" "Where's Amy?" "Missed the boat, I'm afraid." "[muffled screams]" "Turn the yacht around!" "Detox, boss man." "We're here to talk business." "We'll be quick." "Woof gets seasick easy." "[groaning and gagging]" "Our business is concluded." "Price:" "You got the equipment you wanted." "I gave you the security code so you could ransack the lab, but those bunglers tried to kill Wayne." "Word is Wayne's terminal anyhow." "That means you get to stay top dog." "And everyone's happy." "So why are you here?" "The big guy who originally put us all in contact has decided you're a loose end." "And loose ends should be tied up." "[grrr]" "Aah!" "oow!" "Let me go!" "Got him." "Then amscray pronto, kiddies." "Things are going to start popping." "Let's go!" "No one's leaving until I get answers." "[grrr]" "No, you idiot!" "Not now." "[grrr] [jet engines] [laughing]" "They're getting away!" "Yeah, and I think they've got a good reason." "What's happening?" "Hang on!" "Aah!" "Help!" "We saw the explosion!" "You can ask Mr. Price about that." "Me?" "!" "I had nothing to do with it." "That right?" "[click]" "Price's recorded voice:" "I gave you the security code so you could ransack the lab, but those bunglers tried to kill Wayne." "I want my lawyer." "I think the Commissioner would like to hear this, too." "Night." "[wind roaring]" "I'm spent." "Every lead I had has gone face down and the Joker's still out there." "What have you got?" "I don't know, pup." "If I was the Batman I was supposed to be," "I'd have cracked this by now." "would've punched exactly the right data into the computer or remembered that one little clue that everyone else overlooked." "Bruce:" "It's rarely that simple." "[arf] [arf arf] [arf arf]" "How are you feeling?" "Lousy." "[arf arf]" "Gordon told me what happened to Tim Drake." "That's why I didn't want you going up against the Joker." "Imposter or not." "Nothing against your old partners, but I'm a completely different Batman." "I was never a Robin." "I never" "Wait." "Joker smashed up the cases, but why was this the only costume he went out of his way to destroy?" "Robin did shoot him." "A ghost out for revenge?" "I don't buy it." "I talked to Drake." "He's got less love for that costume than the Joker." "I think somehow he's behind this." "That's crazy." "So was Drake...once." "Look... here's the readout of everything we know the Jokerz have stolen." "Now let's combine those into something that would be used by a communications expert, someone of Tim Drake's caliber." "Satellite jamming system." "Whoever uses this can access satellite defense systems and fire them at will." "Someone already has." "I suspected Jordan Price might be the Joker, but the Jokerz were on your company yacht trying to slag Price." "I got him off the boat before someone blasted it into splinters." "I hate to say it, but I think your little Robin's turned into a bitter old crow." "He's got to be the brains behind this new Joker." "It's harsh, but who else is there?" "Suit up." "Take the car and check it out." "I'll monitor you from here." "What happened to leaving it to the cops?" "Not their game." "There's something else I want to take with me." "[beep] [beeping]" "Drake, I know you're the connection to the Joker." "Don't pretend you didn't hear me." "Hologram." "[horn blows]" "You guessed it, Batfake." "The disgruntled Mr. Drake is indeed in my employ." "Took him a few years, but he finally figured out who ran the real winning team." "This is one of Uncle Sam's orbiting defense satellites." "Hyperion class, laser armed." "Handy little gadget for shooting down unfriendly missiles or giving someone a world-class hotfoot." "Think of it as urban tagging on a grand scale, reminding all and sundry that this is Joker territory." "You're welcome to try and stop us, but--ha ha" "I'm not taking bets on that happening anytime soon." "Toodle." "Aah!" "Miss me?" "[arf]" "Computer, search for the name Jolly Jack." "Abandoned candy factory." "Just his style." "Wayne, I think I've got something." "Download this transmission and tell Gordon to have her men at that address." "Aren't you the nasty tattle-tale?" "Ratted me out before I have my fun." "Papa spank." "[arf arf arf]" "Yeah, I know." "[shouting]" "[maniacal laughter]" "Ooh, I gotta sit down before I bust a gut." "Ha!" "Catch you later, kiddo." "It stopped." "I'm going after him." "Gotcha." "Uh-oh." "Aah!" "[grrr] [laughing]" "Ace." "[grrr]" "Aah!" "[grrr]" "[shrieking]" "Good bad dog." "Unh!" "Where'd he go?" "Ow!" "Uhh!" "Watch it!" "You watch it!" "Unh!" "Unh!" "It's him!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Unh!" "Unh!" "Grrr!" "Grrr!" "Oof!" "Oof!" "Uhh!" "Uhh!" "Double down." "Lovely playroom." "You getting this, Wayne?" "I see it." "You keep your eyes open for the Joker." "Tim." "Get up, Drake." "Unh!" "What?" "Who is it?" "Where's the Joker?" "Joker?" "Drop the act." "I know you're working with him." "No." "Joker's gone." "I don't know where he is, really." "Bruce:" "The suit sensors aren't picking up any pulse fluctuations." "He's telling the truth." "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." "He may be telling the truth, but he's still whacked." "Fun and games..." "Boy Wonder playing the hero." "Fighting the 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 his dead smile." "Every night the dreams get stronger." "He's there when I sleep, whispering, laughing, telling me I'm just as bad as he is, we're both the same!" "I'm calling an ambulance." "No." "I'm all right." "Forgive me, Terry." "Old nasty memories twisting inside me like bad oysters." "Nothing really." "I'm perfectly fine now." "How do you know my name?" "There's nothing about you I don't know, Batfake." "Aah!" "Terry!" "Have a time-out, kid." "Can't let you spoil the party too soon." "and, Bruce, I'm sure you've got your monkey boy wired somehow." "That's just peachy, because I want you to see every minute of this." "It's a killer." "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha." "[maniacal laughter]" "My god." "[laughter stops]" "Ohh, I never get tired of that." "Drake?" "You're the Joker?" "Ha!" "That flabby oaf doesn't even realize" "I'm using him as a timeshare." "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." "Utilizing cutting edge genetics technology, which I had pinched here and there," "I encoded my DNA on a microchip and set it into bird boy's bird brain." "Here." "Everything that was me has been asleep and all comfy and cozy inside Tim Drake's subconscious." "At first I had to limit the time I spent in Drake's body." "He's not aware of what I do, chalking up any lingering memories to bad dreams." "If his family misses him," "I simply call wifey and tell her, [as Tim] "I'm working late, honey."" "The changes come at will now." "And soon I'll be strong enough to live in this body permanently." "Mr. J's on the rebound, baby!" "My comeback party's going to set the whole town on fire!" "So where should I make Ground Zero?" "Gotham General, where our hero's dear little Dana is recuperating?" "Or here, in the happy garden of Mrs. Mary McGinnis?" "I always think it adds resonance to a hero's mission to have some defining element of tragedy in his background, don't you?" "Ahh!" "But the one and only kickoff point must be stately Wayne Manor." "gone in a flash before Brucey can hobble to safety or mount a rescue." "Don't worry, though..." "I'll be hitting those other spots soon enough." "Adios, Brucey." "I guess I should salute you as a worthy adversary and all that, but the truth is," "I really did hate your guts." "Pbbbbttt!" "What about it, kid?" "Any last words for the old Bat fart?" "Yeah." "Sic him." "[arf arf] [arf arf]" "Aah!" "[grrr]" "Eh!" "Ow!" "Batman:" "Ace, here!" "Attaboy!" "[barking]" "[whimpering] [grrr]" "End of the line, snoopy." "Aah!" "Ooh!" "No!" "[alarm sounds]" "Oh, good!" "The beam's headed here." "Now we'll have to start all over again." "Thanks for wrecking everything, kid." "See ya around." "Hold it!" "Oh, wise up, junior." "Game's over!" "I'm taking you in." "Right!" "[groaning]" "You're out of your league, McGinnis." "I know every trick the original Batman and Robin knew at their peak." "Maybe, but you don't know a thing about me." "You?" "!" "What's to know?" "you're a punk, a rank amateur, a costumed errand boy taking orders from a senile old man." "Still, if it's a whuppin' you're a-wantin'..." "That's right." "Better to run and save yourself." "That's about your speed." "Let's dance, bozo." "He's tough." "Any suggestions, boss?" "Bruce:" "Joker's vain and likes to talk." "He'll try to distract you, but don't listen," "Block it out And power on through." "Wait." "I like to talk, too." "What're you doing?" "Fighting dirty." "The real Batman would never--oow!" "Told you you didn't know me." "Unh!" "Funny guy." "Can't say the same for you." "Aah!" "Impudent brat." "Who do you think you're talking to?" "Not a comedian, I'll tell you that." "Shut your mouth!" "The real Batman never talked to you much," "Did he?" "That's probably why you were so fixated on him." "Aah!" "Don't play psychoanalyst with me, boy." "Oh, I don't need a degree to figure you out." "The real reason you kept coming back was you never got a laugh out of the old man." "I'm not hearing this." "Get a clue, clowny." "He's got no sense of humor." "He wouldn't know a good joke if it bit him in the cape." "Not that you ever had a good joke." "Shut up." "Shut up!" "Batman:" "I mean, joy buzzers, squirting flowers--lame!" "Where's the "A" material?" "Make a face, drop your pants, something!" "Show yourself!" "You make me laugh, but only 'cause I think you're kind of pathetic." "[Terry laughing maniacally]" "Stop that!" "Ha ha ha!" "So you fell in a tank of acid, got your skin bleached and decided to become a super villain." "What, you couldn't get work as a rodeo clown?" "Ha ha ha!" "[maniacal laughter]" "Don't you dare laugh at me!" "[laughing]" "Why?" "I thought the Joker always wanted to make Batman laugh!" "You're not Batman!" "Ha!" "Oonh!" "[maniacal laughter]" "Come on, McGinnis, laugh it up now." "You miserable little punk, laugh!" "[gasping]" "I can't hear you!" "Ha...ha." "[screaming]" "[groaning]" "[moaning]" "Easy." "I've got ya." "[arf arf arf arf]" "Way ahead of you, mutt." ""Delia and Deidre Dennis"?" "Your grandmother has paid your bail and you're being released into her custody pending your trial." "Oh..." "Joy." "You rotten little scamps!" "I struggle to make a good home for you and this is the thanks I get?" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Break a grandmother's heart!" "I hope they throw the book at you!" "Oh, shut up, Nana Harley." "You didn't have to cover up for me, Barbara." "The Joker's gone, Tim." "You were just along for the ride." "[door opens]" "How you doin', Mr. Drake?" "Tim, this is Terry McGinnis." "We met the other night." "We did?" "Oh." "I owe you big time." "Forget it." "For what it's worth," "Bruce couldn't have chosen anyone better to put on the mask." "Coming from you, that means everything." "Sometimes the important things go unsaid." "If there's one thing I've learned, you've got to appreciate the people in your life" "While you have the chance." "Not everyone is capable of expressing that, Tim, no matter how much they might feel it in their heart." "I know." "What are you doing here?" "It's where I should be." "Terry..." "I've been thinking about something you once told me, and you were wrong." "It's not Batman that makes you worthwhile." "It's the other way around." "Never tell yourself anything different." "Thanks." "Hello, Tim." "Hi, old man."
