History Awesome / BatmanBeyond

'''Terry:''' [[IAmTheNoun I am Batman!!]]

** On that note, Bruce Wayne is portrayed as somehow even more badass than when he was younger. This is a man who has stared at death multiple times, and is completely enveloped in a shroud of mystery and experience. Nowhere is this more evident where he wipes the floor with the Jokerz while barely breaking a sweat, only nearly collapsing later due to his heart attack. This is one old man you don't want to mess with!

-->'''Terry:''' So, will you petting-zoo rejects be needing a doctor? Or a vet?

'''Batman:''' ''[from the shadows]'' ...You really want to know?
'''Powers:''' YES!

-->'''Mr. Fixx''': You're pretty strong, for [[PretenderDiss some clown who thinks he's Batman]].
-->'''Terry''': [[IAmTheNoun I am Batman!!]]

-->'''Terry''': Lay off him, Nash. Don't you have something better to do?\\
'''Nelson''': You think I'm afraid of you, [=McGinnis=]?\\
'''Terry''': (''[[FascinatingEyebrow lifts his eyebrow]] and smirks'') I dunno. Are you?\\

-->'''Terry:''' Shall we?
-->'''Bruce:''' After you.

--> '''Terry''': Tell me something: why were you so sure those voices weren't coming from you?
--> '''Bruce''': Well, first, I know I'm not psychotic.
--> '''Terry''': I hope your other reason is more convincing.
--> '''Bruce''': And second, the voice kept calling me "Bruce." In my mind, that's not what I call myself.
--> '''Terry''': What ''do'' you call yourself?
--> '''Bruce''': *[[Franchise/{{Batman}} stares pointedly]]*
--> '''Terry''': Oh yeah. I suppose you ''would''. But [[LegacyCharacter that's my name now]].
--> '''Bruce''': Tell that to my subconscious.

* Another moment of Old!Bruce awesome comes when he's attacked by Payback and succeeds in holding him off long enough for Terry to get there.
-->'''Bruce:''' Mm-hmm. And what are you?
-->'''Payback:''' I'm your worst nightmare!
-->'''Bruce:''' You have ''no idea'' what my nightmares are like.

-->'''Bruce''': She has other concerns now
''(Curare escaping in car)''-->'''cue sword through car roof''':

-->'''Terry''': You should have seen her Bruce, she sure swings a mean batarang.
-->'''Bruce''': ''(grins)'' She always did.

--> '''Bruce''': What about your breathing problem?
--> '''Terry''': (pulls on the mask) I'll breathe on the weekend.

:: Crosses over with SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} after she's recovered from her episode. While she states that she wasn't wrong in that he would never be exactly like Bruce, she makes it clear that he truly embodies everything good about Batman.

-->'''Powers''': Who ''are'' you?!
-->'''Batman''': ''[from the shadows]'' You ''really'' wanna know?
-->'''Powers''': YES!
-->'''Batman''': ''[reveals himself]'' YouKilledMyFather.
-->'''Powers''': [[DramaticPause ...]][[ButForMeItWasTuesday Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?]]

** Bonus points for Old Bruce pulling off the legendary OffhandBackhand… with ''his cane.''

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afqa6FJ5S0M The Full Scene.]]

-->'''Terry''': [[IAmTheNoun I ''am'' Batman!!]]
* "Very good then, [=Mr McGinnis.=] Welcome to my world." Tinge of NightmareFuel there too; as the Music/DannyElfman minor chords start strumming, you realise Terry has ''no idea'' what he's getting into.

** This is followed by Starro-Superman catching up with the Batplane, which is traveling at Mach 3, while the [[DarkReprise theme music]] from his previous show plays in a sinister key... and not streamlining at all, but floating upright. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKpGn1pyQyo As seen here.]]

* Terry's first appearance when he kicked the crap outta that Jokerz dude... This was before he donned the cowl.

* When Terry is captured by Inque in "Disappearing Inque", it's left to Bruce to show up in an attempt to save him. He gets captured by Inque and slowly crushed... at which point his overcoat bursts apart, revealing a [[PoweredArmor Bat-mech suit]]. Two things make this especially brilliant:

* Terry vs The Stalker..... FREAKING EPIC FIGHT!!

** From the same episode... when Shriek had Terry and the little boy he just saved cornered at a cliff-like drop in the sewers. "All that for nothing, all that effort wasted. At least it gives me the pleasure of finishing you off myself." Then out of nowhere comes Bruce, "Why do they always talk so much?" Whacks Shriek only two times in the head with his cane, looks at Terry before leaving, "I just happened to be in the neighborhood." Dang you Bruce! Why must you be so freaking awesome!?

* The fact that Terry stole Bruce's own batsuit, from right under him, without him HEARING TERRY come in at all (considering this man is known for a certain [[OffhandBackhand backhand]] and [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace defiance of the laws of science]])... pretty dang impressive!

'''Terry:''' ... ''[[[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan grabs her by the collar]]]'' Now you listen. You may be afraid of you-don't-even-know-what, but I don't care. Be more afraid of '''''me'''''. Be more afraid of what's going to happen to that little girl if you don't do your job and find out where she is. Capisce?

-->'''Terry''': I ''am'' Batman!!

* When the police believe Batman has killed Mad Stan, they show that they aren't as incompetent under Barbara Gordon's command. It was looking really grim for Terry until Spellbinder was pulled out of hiding.
