History Awesome / BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker

*** The ultimate win for Terry? Not only does he finally defeat the Joker once and for all, he [[SurpassedTheTeacher does so in a way Bruce couldn't even conceive, much less execute.]]

--> '''Joker:''' It’s true, Batsy, I know '''''everything'''''. And kind of like the kid who peeks at his Christmas present, I must admit it’s sadly anticlimactic. Behind all the ''stern'' and batarang, you’re just a little boy spin a play suit ''crying for mommy and daddy''. It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. (''{{Beat}}.'') Oh, what the heck. I'll laugh anyway! '''HAA HA HA HA HA HA!'''

* Ace the Bat-Dog [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments watching Cartoons]], and later taking down one of the Joker's henchman, ''then'' attacking the man himself. As Terry says: "Good bad dog". 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.

** And earlier in the movie we have out of suit Terry vs the Jokerz in the nightclub. Even without the Batsuit, he manages to defeat them via a combination of brawns and quick thinking.

*** In another meta sense after watching 'Epilogue', Terry [[spoiler: technically IS Batman since he shares his DNA, so either way, Joker's end came how he always wanted it: dying by the Dark Knight's(even if it wasn't the original) hands]].

** This becomes somewhat of a TearJerker as Joker honestly hit the mark. Judging by WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague episode 'The Man Who Has Everything', he really is the eight year old Bruce seeing his parents die.

** Batman, his voice a rage-filled growl, declares he'll "break you in two," but the Joker dismissively reminds him that "[[ThouShaltNotKill if you had the guts for that kind of fun,]] [[JokerImmunity you would have done it]] ''[[JokerImmunity years]]'' [[JokerImmunity ago.]]" Then [[spoiler:stabs him with a knife]].

** The edited/censored version of [[spoiler:the Jokers death gives Tim a major awesome moment. While Tim had been shown before to be no pushover in a fight, despite his age and size. The fact that the edited version has him "over power" Joker shows Joker should ''never'' have underestimated the boy.]]

--> '''Joker:''' It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic. (''{{Beat}}.'') Oh, what the heck. I'll laugh anyway! '''HAA HA HA HA HA HA!'''

* Terry beats the Joker at his own [[BreakThemByTalking mind games]]. Bruce tells Terry to block Joker out ("Joker's vain and likes to talk. He'll try to distract you, but don't listen. Block it out and power on through."), but then Terry realizes something: "[[YouFightLikeACow I like to talk too.]]" Terry then [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LikMS5gDDI proceeds to]] ''[[BreakThemByTalking break the Joker by talking]]''.

'''Terry:''' Oh, I don't need a degree to figure you out.\\

'''Terry:''' The real reason you kept coming back was you couldn't get a laugh out of the old man.\\
'''Joker:''' I'm ''not'' hearing this.\\
'''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.\\

** 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.

'''Joker:''' The REAL Batman would never-- ''(Terry digs the knee in deeper)'' AUGH!\\

'''Joker:''' ''(SlasherSmile)'' Funny guy.\\

-->''Terry knees Joker in the groin''
-->'''Joker:''' What are you doing?!
-->'''Terry:''' [[PragmaticHero Fighting dirty.]]
-->'''Joker:''' The REAL Batman would never-AUGH!
-->''Terry digs the knee in deeper''
-->'''Terry:''' Told you you didn't know me.
-->''Terry knocks the Joker backwards''
-->'''Joker:''' (SlasherSmile) Funny guy.
-->'''Terry:''' [[BoringInsult Can't say the same for you]].
-->''The Joker throws a punch at Terry that misses and he runs into a desk''
-->'''Joker:''' Impudent brat. Who do you think you're talking to?
-->'''Terry:''' Not a comedian, I'll tell you that.
-->'''Joker:''' ''(shoots at Terry)'' Shut your mouth!
-->''Terry dodges and flies up into the rafters''
-->'''Terry:''' The real Batman never talked to you much, did he? That's probably why you were so fixated on him.
-->''Terry uses a Batarang to knock Joker's gun out of his hand''
-->'''Joker:''' Don't play psychoanalyst with me, boy!
-->'''Terry:''' Oh, I don't need a degree to figure you out.
-->''Terry uses another Batarang to hit the power switch so the Joker can't see him''
-->'''Terry:''' The real reason you kept coming back was you couldn't get a laugh out of the old man.
-->'''Joker:''' I'm not hearing this.
-->'''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!''
-->'''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:''' [[DisappointedByTheMotive 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!]]'''''

--->'''Joker:''' C'mon, [=McGinnis=]. Laugh it up now, you miserable little punk. Laugh! ''I CAN'T HEAR YOU!''
--->'''Terry:''' (''straining'') ''[[HeroicResolve Ha.]]'' '''''[[PreMortemOneLiner Ha.]]''''' (''uses Joker's own joybuzzer to zap the microchip containing Joker's mind, effectively killing him'')

-->''The fight starts with Joker overpowering Terry and knocking him to the floor.''
-->'''Joker:''' You're out of your league, [=McGinnis=], I know every trick the original Batman and Robin knew at their peak.
-->'''Terry:''' Maybe, but you don't know a thing about me.
-->'''Joker:''' You?! What's to know, you're a punk, a rank amateur, a costumed errand boy taking orders from a senile old man. Still, if it's a whooping you're a-wanting!
-->''Terry runs to the door''
-->'''Joker:''' That's right, better to run and save yourself, it's about your speed.
-->''Terry actually shuts the door and breaks the switch so Joker can't escape''
-->'''Terry:''' Let's dance, bozo.
-->''The Joker and Terry fight, with Terry mostly on the defense and his attacks being blocked''
-->'''Terry:''' (To Bruce over the comm) He's tough, any suggestions, boss?
-->'''Bruce:''' Joker's vain and likes to talk, he'll try to distract you, but don't listen! Block it out and power on through.
-->'''Terry:''' [[EurekaMoment Wait... I like to talk too]].

* Creator/AndreaRomano had a turn at voiceacting the brainwashed Robin. Despite being primarily a casting director, Romano's LaughingMad Robin is chilling.
