Superman: Bruce, just relax.

Batman: Why?

Superman: I don’t know. No one’s ever asked me that before.

Because of the few things Batman seems incapable of, relaxing is among the top five.

Justice League entrance interviews…

Black Canary: Tell me, what do you consider your best quality?

Superman: Well, I’m a real people person.

Batman: Hn. I don’t answer stupid questions.

Wonder Woman: I speak Greek.

Green Lantern: My eyes. Oh, and I guess my butt, too.

Batman: You don’t need a mom or dad because you have my number and you can call me anytime –

Superman: *drags Batman away from the black-haired, blue-eyed boy and apologetically takes back the calling card he’d handed to the 8-year-old* 

When asked about his Robin training regime…

Batman: I leave him all the tools he needs. It’s “do or die”. If he chooses correctly, he’ll conquer the hornets.

Superman: And if he doesn’t?

Batman: He’ll die.

Superman: I… beg your pardon?

Batman: When did the phrase “do or die” become so corrupted, Clark?


If you ever wondered why Dick, Jason, Tim, and Damian were so impossibly skilled. (May have been a cakewalk for Damian, though.)
