 * End of pilot.

"Terry McGinnis: Why were you so sure those voices weren't coming from you? Bruce Wayne: Well, first, I know I'm not psychotic. Terry McGinnis: ...I hope your other reason's more convincing. Bruce Wayne: And second, the voice kept calling me 'Bruce'. In my mind, that's not what I call myself."

 * Terry explains why he wants to be Batman, Return of the Joker.
