live out

When both Batman and The Joker were no longer young and needed someone to carry on their mantle, and it was, they both found a fit. One of the successors perfectly inherited the Joker's will under its own superior conditions, and the other found someone who seemed to be no less than Batman. But this does not hinder his success. It is true that he is not Batman, and he does not have the style that Batman should have, but it is he who makes Batman's existence more valuable, and he has advantages that Batman does not have. Never doubt yourself, don't live in the shadow of the success of your predecessors, you don't need to be the second so-and-so, but to be the first yourself, and to live out your own value.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker quotes

  • Barbara Gordon: 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 three of us then: Bruce, myself, and Robin; Tim Drake. Robin was out alone that night when he came upon a woman in trouble.

    Harley Quinn: Help! Help! Somebody, please help!

    Robin: Hero time.

    [firing his grappling gun, he swoops in and takes down two thugs]

    Robin: That evens things up a little.

    Harley Quinn: [revealing herself, hitting him with a mallet] Not really, bird boy.

    The Joker: [entering, laughing] A bird in the hand...

    Barbara Gordon: 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 three agonizing weeks, there was nothing. Then one night, we were sent an invitation.

  • Bruce Wayne: Leave a message.

    Terry McGinnis: 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...

    [realizing]

    Terry McGinnis: Wait. It's night. Where does he go?
