Quotes 

• Ace : Did you like playing with my new Royal Flush Gang?

  Batman : Can't say that I did.

  Ace : Yeah. They aren't any fun at all. I gave them their powers, and they still hardly ever play with me.

  Batman : Can't imagine why.

  Ace : When I was little, Cadmus used to make me play all kinds of games, but they weren't any fun either. They'd strap me into their machines and poke wires into my brain. "Ace, can you move this object with your mind?".

  [Moves a tree into the sky] 

  Ace : Yeah, I can move it. They weren't really games, you know. They were training me. Turning me into a weapon, "for justice", they said. They got their weapon. I got cheated out of my childhood.

  Batman : I know what that's like.

  Ace : You do, don't you? You don't have to answer. I read your mind. That's how I knew you weren't going to use Ms. Waller's weapon on me.

  Batman : [Brings out the device]  No, I wasn't.

  [Tosses the device away] 

  Ace : You were gonna try and talk me into fixing what I've changed... before I die.

  Batman : Yes.

  Ace : I'm dying very soon.

  Batman : Yes. I'm sorry.

  Ace : [Staring to cry]  Would you stay with me? I'm scared.

  [Batman sits down next to her, reaching over to gently hold her hand] 

• Bruce Wayne : You're a stubborn piece of work, you know that.

  Terry McGinnis : [sotto]  Just like my old man.

• Terry McGinnis : My dad wasn't a superhero. He didn't save the world from the near-Apocalypse of '09, he never went toe to toe with Mr. Freeze, but he was a good man just the same. Even after he and Mom got divorced, he always tried to do the right thing. My brother and I were always provided for, when Mom couldn't quite make the bills he always helped out. He tried to teach me right from wrong. What have too if I'd ever listen to him. He never laid a hand on me, although Lord knows I was asking for it.

  Bruce Wayne : What's your point?

  Terry McGinnis : [Incredulously]  What's my point? My point is I never once doubted he loved me with all his heart! My point is all those warm feelings I had for my dad were just another lie! Another in a long list of things you've stolen from me! My point is I just found out Warren McGinnis isn't my father!... You are.

  Bruce Wayne : ...What do you want from me?

  Terry McGinnis : I wanna know the whole truth.

  Bruce Wayne : Sounds like you already do.

  Terry McGinnis : Guess I didn't wanna believe you were so incredibly arrogant that you thought the world couldn't go on without you.

  Bruce Wayne : Or someone like me. It's not arrogance, it's fact.

  Terry McGinnis : You set the whole thing up!

  Bruce Wayne : How? You were already a teenager when I first met your mother.

  Terry McGinnis : I don't know. Maybe you dug up some of that old Cadmus nanotech, used it to have my genes rewritten to match yours.

  Bruce Wayne : That technology's been illegal for over 40 years.

  Terry McGinnis : Didn't stop the Joker from using it on Tim Drake!

  [Bruce's eyes widen in shock over the comment] 

  Terry McGinnis : [Remorseful]  All right, low blow.

• Bruce Wayne : The mantle of Batman is a honor, Terry.

  Terry McGinnis : You know what, old man. All those years it turns out everyone was right. You are insane. Being Batman's no honor... it's a curse.

• Bruce Wayne : You're in my chair.

  Terry McGinnis : Yeah, I guess I am.

  Bruce Wayne : Where the devil have you been?

  Terry McGinnis : I had some stuff to take care of.

  Bruce Wayne : Enigma's overrated, especially at 3 AM. You could've called. I made you some soup, but it's cold.

  Terry McGinnis : Sorry. Don't mean to worry you.

  Bruce Wayne : I was worried about Gotham. If Batman's not around...

  Terry McGinnis : I've got it covered. Always.

• Terry McGinnis : How could you do it to me, Bruce?

  Bruce Wayne : The only thing that matters is the mission. You know that.

  Terry McGinnis : What about people, Bruce? Dick, Barbara, Tim, Selena... they all loved you, but eventually every single one of them left you. Ever wonder why?

  Bruce Wayne : Not for an instant. They quit because when it came down to it, they didn't have the heart for the mission. Are you about to quit too? It doesn't really surprise me.

• Terry McGinnis : I was 16 years old when you started training me, Bruce. A punk kid with a smart mouth and potential I didn't even suspect. I may have pretended otherwise, but I looked up to you, worshipped you.

  Bruce Wayne : What you wanted from me, I couldn't give to anyone.

  Terry McGinnis : Tell me something I don't know.

• Bruce Wayne : Kent called. Nothing apocalyptic; he just wants your opinion on a case he's working. Said you could meet him at the Metro Tower.

  Terry McGinnis : Right. Better suit up.

  Bruce Wayne : You should eat something first, keep up your strength.

  Terry McGinnis : When I get back.

• Batman : Waller. Should have recognized your hand in this.

  Amanda Waller : No time for the usual pleasantries. Before you go after Ace, you need to know what you're getting into.

  Batman : I've met her before. She has the power to give anyone she's in contact with hallucinations, as you can see.

  Amanda Waller : It's worse than you think. Ace's powers have evolved. She doesn't create hallucinations anymore. She telekinetically warps reality.

  Dr. Light : Please. You trying to tell me all this is real?

  Amanda Waller : Real, growing, and permanent if we don't put a stop to it all. Cadmus psytechs predict that Ace is days, maybe only hours, from a massive aneurysm.

  Dr. Light : Problem solved.

  Amanda Waller : Not that simple. When she goes, the psychic backlash could kill everyone in range of her powers. That's a distance measured in miles.

  [revealing a device in a briefcase] 

  Amanda Waller : Take her down before she takes everyone with her.

  Batman : [Shayera moves to take it, but he stops her]  I'll do it, Shayera. I'm the only one of us Ace knows. She might let me get close enough to use it.

  Amanda Waller : Do you understand what you're agreeing to? The only way to stop Ace for certain is to kill her.
