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

  • The Joker: [the guidance system of the satellite is out of control] Oh, good! The beam's headed here! Now we'll have to start all over again. Thanks for wrecking everything, kid. See ya 'round.

    [begins to walk away]

    Terry McGinnis: Hold it!

    [grabs Joker]

    The Joker: Oh, wise up, junior. GAME'S OVER!

    Terry McGinnis: I'm taking you in!

    The Joker: [laughs] Right!

  • The Joker: 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 Brucie can hobble to safety or mount a rescue. Don't worry, though. I'll be hitting those other spots soon enough.
