oh.” the young blonde paused, lips pursing tightly behind the mask as she carefully scanned blue eyes over the talon. “…why? i mean, it’s flattering, but not exactly nightwing or orphan. i’m not exactly extraordinary.”

“You possess potential and are unfettered by personal bonds towards another as reason for your dedication. You are not acting out of a need to repay another by acting as you do. You do so in service of Gotham; and you show promise. You are correct that at the moment, you are less than extraordinary. But you clearly possess skill and talent, only requiring refinement.”

quotes taken from robot chicken’s dc comics special. 

❝ Last one at the party can’t fly. ❞ ❝ Oh God! Oh, my back just snapped like a pack of uncooked spaghetti! You just walk up and break my back without saying a word. ❞ ❝Booh! Booh on you, sir!❞ ❝ Why would that be one of your super powers? ❞ ❝I should really use that power more often. ❞ ❝ I can’t remember why I hate you. ❞ ❝ You might want to close your eyes. ❞ ❝ Let’s see if we can at least make it through a round of hors d'oeuvres before the first supervillain shows up. ❞ ❝ Come on! I thought we had a schedule worked out.This is my day. ❞ ❝ It’s German. ❞ ❝ Well, I ain’t changing, you dick. ❞ ❝ Everyone, freeze! Oh, for fuck’s sake! ❞ ❝ I completely forgot about Chillblaine. ❞ ❝ Why didn’t you tell me they look like cartoons. ❞ ❝ If you can’t keep it together, you need to leave. ❞ ❝ Hold on there, _________.You gotta do it in costume.❞ ❝ You bitches can pay for your own drinks. ❞ ❝ I do not just call when I’ve been drinking.❞ ❝ I’m literally the only one affected by that rule! ❞ ❝ I still have a scar in my forehead from Christmas 2004, you dumb butthole. ❞ ❝ My God, What was that? ❞ ❝This is so cool.Not quite “Independence Day” cool, but much cooler than “Battle Los Angeles” cool. ❞ ❝ Could you please stop screaming? ❞ ❝ Protect me, Selena Gomez! ❞ ❝ I am not sure that the earthlings are worthy of a ring. ❞ ❝ All we gonna do is go over to the Hall of Justice, plant a nega-bomb and kill them all at once. ❞ ❝ And it never hurts to leave a few riddles with embedded clues on how to diffuse the bomb. ❞ ❝ Riddle me this! Which losers are gonna be totally jealous when I defeat the JLA without them? It’s YOU GUYS!❞ ❝ I’m shutting down this turd factory before it gets any worse. ❞ ❝  That was an ancient relic passed down from my ancestors! ❞ ❝ And, who ever’s been picking their nose at the urinal and wiping it on the wall.Stop it. ❞ ❝ What is the wifi password in here again? ❞ ❝ It’s the Justice League. We’re under attack! ❞ ❝ Look, I don’t want to hurt your feelings… ❞ ❝ I have the codes to the Watch Tower service entrance. ❞ ❝ I didn’t join the forces of evil or anything. ❞ ❝ We give you a hard time but only because we love you, bro. ❞ ❝ We’ve been caked! ❞ ❝ I got a staph infection, I almost died. ❞ ❝ Is that piss, dude?
