*** It's not just that, either. Terry does in the Joker in a way that Bruce was simply incapable of doing. Terry's not just proving the Joker wrong about how he's Batman, he's doing it in such a way that he'd need little, if any, of the training or gadgets to do it.
Haaahahahahahahhaha!"

!!''Return of the Joker''

* Ace the Bat-Dog watching Cartoons in ''Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker'', and later taking down one of the Joker's henchman, ''then'' attacking the man himself. As Terry says: "Good Bat-dog."
** The line is actually "Good bad dog", and it's in reference to Ace's past in dog fighting. The same line is used in Ace's backstory episode, which counts as another [=CMoA=] for him; he saves Terry from a gigantic mutant dog blob.
* In ''Return of the Joker'', Terry beats the Joker at his own [[HannibalLecture mind games]]. Bruce tells Terry to block Joker out ("He likes to talk. Ignore it."), but then Terry realizes something: "[[YouFightLikeACow I like to talk, too.]]" Terry then proceeds to ''HannibalLecture the Joker''.
-->'''Terry:''' Get a clue, clowny! [Bruce]'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.
-->'''Joker:''' Shut up! ''Shut up!'' (tries to run away like the superstitious, cowardly criminal that he is)
-->'''Terry:''' I mean, joy buzzers, squirting flowers - lame! Where's the "A" material? Make a face, drop your pants, something!
-->'''Joker:''' Show yourself!
-->'''Terry:''' [[IronicEcho You make me laugh... but only because I think you're kinda pathetic.]] [ [[EvilLaugh Laughs]] ]
-->'''Joker:''' Stop that!
-->'''Terry:''' So you fell in a tank of acid, got your skin bleached, and decided to become a supervillain. What? You couldn't get work as a rodeo clown? [ [[EvilLaugh Laughs]] ]
-->'''Joker:''' Don't you dare laugh at me!
-->'''Terry:''' Why? I thought the Joker always wanted to make Batman laugh!
-->'''Joker:''' ''[[VillainousBreakdown You're not Batman]]!''
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXj8oa949GE&feature=related Not to mention the end of that fight. Joker is choking an incapacitated Terry]]:
--->'''Joker:''' [Laughing] C'mon, [=McGinnis=]. Laugh it up now, you miserable little punk. Laugh! I can't hear you!
--->'''Terry:''' [straining] '''Ha. Ha.''' ''* Terry uses Joker's own joybuzzer to zap the microchip containing Joker's mind* ''
** And of course, earlier on in the fight when Terry [[GroinAttack knees The Joker in the groin]], explaining that unlike Bruce, ''he'' fights dirty.
** Also from Terry vs the Joker:
--->'''Joker:''' How 'bout it, kid? Any last words for the old Bat-coot?
--->'''Terry:''' Yeah. Sic him!
--->[* Ace leaps in and attacks the Joker* ]
* Joker got his own earlier in ''Return of the Joker'' during the flashback sequence in his response to [[spoiler: uncovering Batman's true identity]].
--> '''Joker:''' It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. ''[pause]'' Oh, what the heck, I'll laugh anyway. '''HAA HA HA HA HA HA!'''
** This final fight between the two old foes has a lot of Moments. Bruce is in full PapaWolf mode after seeing what the Joker did to [[spoiler: Tim Drake, and now the Joker has found out about (and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech thoroughly mocked]]) his identity and tragic past.]] He crashes through the window, knocking the projector over and doing a NeckLift on the Joker... who teases, "If you don't like the movie, I've got slides."-then throws him through said window like he was a rag doll.
** Batman, his voice a rage-filled growl, declares he'll "break you in two," but the Joker reminds him that "[[ThouShaltNotKill if you had the guts for that,]] [[JokerImmunity you'd have done it years ago.]]" And then [[spoiler:stabs him with a knife.]]
** [[spoiler:The fight ends with [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything the Joker on top of Batman, almost purring]] as he [[HannibalLecture softly explains that he has won, Robin is his, and the last sound Batman hears will be their laughter]].]]
** [[spoiler: Then Tim kills him]]
** Also, Harley vs Batgirl in the flashback was epic! Bonus points for Harley having a bazooka, and Batgirl for pwning her-bazooka and all!
* There's an understated moment of awesome before this in the form of Batman's almost trademark OffhandBackhand, this time done by Terry himself. What makes this truly awesome is that, in a previous episode, Terry could not do this and didn't get how Bruce could. While this movie in general pretty much proved that Terry had (for the most part) grown into the role, this one in particular was an awesome demonstration.
* Also from ''ROTJ'' is a scene where The Joker gains control of a Military-grade KillSat, and uses it ''exactly'' the way you'd imagine the Joker would use it.
--> '''Joker:''' Aren't you the nasty tattle-tale! Ratting me out before I've had my fun... Papa spank!
* Even more amazing is early in the film, when the dissenting Bonk confronts the Joker over the jobs he's been sending them on. The Joker shoots Bonk right in the heart after toying with him a little, then attempts to reassert control over the gang by asking them to pledge loyalty. "So, boys, are you with me?" "We're with you..." "Dee Dee?" "We're with you!" "Bonk? Oh, right. ''Dead''."
** The expression on his face when he says it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFw5xytB4_s just has to be seen.]]
* Pretty much Mark Hamill's [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries whole ten year career as the Joker]]. There's a reason that droves of comic readers hear his voice whenever the Joker talks, and the highpoint of his career is [[BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker Return Of The Joker]], and the crowning moment of that of that has to be this line, after he discovers Batman's secret identity.
