Will Friedle: Terry McGinnis, Batman

Quotes 

• Terry McGinnis : [about Powers]  This guy had my father murdered and all he's done since is hide from the law. Well, no more hiding for Mr. Derek Powers. Now everyone can see what he is... even in the dark.

• Blight : Who are you?

  Batman : You really want to know?

  Blight : Yes!

  Batman : You killed my father.

  Blight : Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

  Batman : Too bad. It's all you get.

• Batman : You made a bad enemy tonight.

  Paxton Powers : What are you going to do? Testify against me in that mask?

  Batman : Oh, I wasn't talking about me. I'm the least of your worries.

• Blight : Why do you persist in tormenting me? All I wanted was to be alone.

  Batman : Can't let you run around. We have rules against radioactive waste.

• Batman : You okay?

  Bruce Wayne : I'm fine... Batman.

• [Terry destroys the Bat-signal after Paxton used it to call him out] 

  Batman : Next time, use e-mail.

• Bruce Wayne : Careful, Terry, you're sounding a little too vindictive.

  Batman : What do you mean? I'm just helping a guy help his dad... except in my version, that help happens behind bars.

• Bruce Wayne : Terry, what's going on in there? The radiation is off the scale!

  Batman : I think Powers is going critical. I've gotta do something.

  Bruce Wayne : Get out. Now!

• Terry McGinnis : Whoa. Powers *is* Blight.

• Batman : [finding a security badge at a crime scene]  Wayne-Powers? Powers is helping Blight?

• Batman : Powers and Blight. Just think, you're both of my two favorite people.

• Batman : Ahoy, Captain.

  Blight : Batman. Where are you? Show yourself!

  Batman : I found you. Now it's your turn. I gotta say, a nuclear sub was smart. That's why I couldn't find your radiation trail. This whole tin can is still hot with rads.

  Blight : It's about to get warmer.

• Batman : Looks like your hunch was right. How'd you know?

  Bruce Wayne : I've been reading people since before you *were* a person.

• Paxton Powers : My father's doctors have been working on this for a while. It's called a pinch cell. Turn it on, and it sucks up radiation like a sponge.

  Batman : Get to why I should care.

  Paxton Powers : I'm having a net built to connect to this cell. If you can find my father and lure him into the net, the cell can weaken him enough to hold him.

  Batman : You want me to catch him for you?

  Paxton Powers : He needs medical attention. His condition's affected his mind. There's no reasoning with him, even if we knew where he was. I know this is strange, asking you. But from what I hear, you may be the only one who can find him.

• Terry McGinnis : [learning of Powers' condition]  You think he was born this way?

  Bruce Wayne : Do you remember when Powers was exposed to nerve gas?

  Terry McGinnis : Sure I remember. I threw it.

  Bruce Wayne : Powers would have been treated with radiation. That, combined with the gas, may have mutated him into this.

  Terry McGinnis : You mean... I made him that?

  Bruce Wayne : You may have, in part.

• Batman : [with Blight caught in the pinch-cell net]  Enough. Turn it off. That thing's gonna kill him.

  Paxton Powers : You want this as much as I do.

  Batman : No. I wouldn't have agreed to this. You said you were gonna help him.

  Paxton Powers : I lied.

• Terry McGinnis : [seeing a group of protestors]  All these people are anti-Powers? Now I don't feel so alone. Paxton?

  Bruce Wayne : Derek Powers' son. Word is he's being promoted today. As you can see, not everyone was happy with him in his last job.

  Terry McGinnis : While you're in there, ask Daddy about his connection to Glow Boy. I'd love to finally nail this guy on something.

  Bruce Wayne : I'll see if it comes up.

• Bruce Wayne : Any hot spots yet?

  Batman : A trace here and there, but nothing fresh. He might have been on the move earlier, but now he's holed up somewhere good.

  Bruce Wayne : I think I know another way to find him. Come back and I'll explain.

  Batman : Actually, something else just came up.

  Bruce Wayne : What?

  Batman : Look out your window. This one you have to see for yourself.

  [he sees the Bat-Signal shining in the sky]
