00:00I am the knight. I am Batman. Batman. Batman. There is a song the good folks sing. Song the good
00:11folks sing. Batman. About a hero on the wing. Hero on the wing. Batman.
00:20I am Gotham's darkest night. The villain's darkest fright. Turn on the signal light. For Batman. That's actually Kevin Conroy's
00:35singing.
00:47You hate me, don't you?
00:49It's your birthday.
00:51Don't remind me.
00:55Good work, Cake Crusader. Once again, you've saved our fair city from those vile miscreants.
01:00They were no problem, Commissioner. For as we all know, criminals are.
01:05A superstitious, cowardly lot. They plan and plot, but they always get caught. Their evil schemes all come to naught.
01:13A superstitious, cowardly lot.
01:18Come on, it took me weeks to get tickets for this show. It's shway.
01:22It's shwarbage.
01:26Excuse me. One side, please. Move!
01:29A superstitious, cowardly lot. They plan and plot, but they always get caught. Their evil schemes all come to naught.
01:39A superstitious...
02:08Lois, Barbara, what happened to Lois?
02:10I cannot believe you did not save a picture of me as well.
02:13Talia!
02:40It is a gift, Bruce.
02:42One which must be used wisely.
02:44A gift I would now share with you.
02:48A superstitious cowardly lot.
02:51You missed a great show.
02:53The music, the action.
02:56What are you eating?
02:57Smells...
02:59Hmph.
02:59Gorgeous.
03:01Terry, this is Talia, an old friend.
03:04Talia.
03:05I've been aware of Mr. McGinnis for some time.
03:07With a new Batman in action, I knew he had to be someone close to you.
03:12Terry was the only candidate.
03:13I've heard about you, too.
03:16You're the daughter of Ra's al Ghul, one of the old man's worst enemies from way back.
03:19Ra's al Ghul.
03:20You helped the original Batman fight Ra's one last time in the near apocalypse of 09.
03:24For the last couple of decades, you've been putting your father's money to work cleaning up the mess he made.
03:28Current residence is a 200 acre estate on New Cuba.
03:30What?
03:32Did you think I was down here playing vid games?
03:34Very thorough, Terry.
03:36Though father's name was pronounced Ra'sh, not Raz.
03:39A common mistake.
03:41Fair enough.
03:42Now maybe you'll clear up another mystery.
03:44Why are you here?
03:45To wish your old friend happy birthday and offer him a gift.
03:50Please consider it, Bruce.
03:53Stay well, beloved.
03:57I'll be at the Gotham Plaza until tomorrow night.
04:00Good night, Talia.
04:05A gift?
04:09Eternal youth!
04:14Eternal youth?
04:16You're slamming me.
04:17That's what I thought at first.
04:18But after everything I've read on Talia and her father, I believe it.
04:22Do you think the old man's gonna do it?
04:24Doubtful.
04:24Well, I'll take his place.
04:26Sorry, Max.
04:27Wayne said those Lazarus pits are more trouble than it's worth.
04:31Still, he did waver.
04:33There are times I can see he wishes it was still him in this suit instead of me.
04:37You think if he takes the plunge that'll end your bad nights?
04:40Well, now that you mention it.
04:42Could be.
04:52Aw, man.
04:57He flattened the bat tire.
05:02Beautiful.
05:12Ah!
05:17Car trouble, old timer?
05:20I can manage.
05:21We'll be happy to call roadside service.
05:25Daily, help Grandpa find his car.
05:33Keep away from me, you old freak!
05:35Oh, now he's a freak.
05:38Oh!
05:38Oh!
05:39No!
05:40Hey, stop!
05:41Let her go!
05:45You want her?
05:46You catch her!
05:48Oh, no!
06:09The suit scanner picked up your car's distress beacon.
06:12You okay?
06:13Uh-huh.
06:17Hmm.
06:18Even a few years ago, I could have gotten us both to safety.
06:21Hmm.
06:23I shouldn't be here.
06:24I'm not even sure why I came.
06:27Today I felt completely helpless.
06:30If Terry hadn't been there, both that girl and I would have been killed.
06:34Perhaps it was fate's way of giving you another chance.
06:37For years you've devoted yourself to this city.
06:40It has taken your youth, your strength, and very nearly your life.
06:45No one has earned a second chance more than you.
06:47I was never looking for any reward.
06:50Then do it for me, Bruce.
06:52I want to broaden my philanthropic cooperation to every nation.
06:57Think of the good we could do if we joined forces.
07:00A dream for the world and a dream for ourselves.
07:06The pilot says we're cleared for landing, Mom.
07:09Thank you, Carter.
07:11You've been so quiet.
07:13Both of you.
07:14I'm having second thoughts.
07:16I understand your reluctance, Bruce.
07:19You saw the pit's effect on my father.
07:21I assure you the process is now much safer.
07:24It's not that.
07:26I'm wondering if I have the right to do this at all.
07:29We've been through all that.
07:31This is our time now.
07:34And I know what's on your mind, Terry.
07:36You're worried that when Bruce becomes young, he'll want to be Batman again.
07:40I'll tell you right now, there's no way I'm wearing the Robin suit.
07:43Don't worry.
07:44Bruce's late nights are over.
07:46I'll be keeping him close by me at all times.
08:03Bruce is ready to start the process, Terry.
08:08Terry?
08:09Oh, sorry.
08:10Guess I got caught up in old Raz here.
08:12Ra's.
08:13Ra's.
08:14Ra's al Ghul was a man of many contrasts.
08:16Leader.
08:17Environmentalist.
08:18Sociopath.
08:22Sorry.
08:22I was going to say father.
08:25I think that's how he'd like to be remembered.
08:36Let me say again how safe the process is, beloved.
08:40There will be no pain.
08:42Let's get it over with.
08:43Father.
09:11That's how it looks.
09:17Enough!
09:39He's so young.
09:40Bruce, you okay?
09:50A side effect of the pit's restorative powers.
09:56Believe me, it's not nearly as bad as it once was.
10:01Hmm.
10:05That's not very reassuring.
10:11Good morning, Bruce. You're looking well.
10:17You're looking not elderly.
10:21I left in some grey. I thought it looked distinguished.
10:25Like Rache.
10:27Thank you for the miracle, Talia. Thank you for restoring my youth.
10:33I'm sorry. I don't mean to be ungrateful. It's just that this is so new.
10:38I understand. It will take several more immersions before the rejuvenation truly sets in. But you will accept it all
10:45in time.
10:54Wow.
10:55I always wondered what you were like at your peak. Now I have some idea.
10:59Not quite at my peak. But certainly better than I've been capable of in years. The agility, the stamina, everything.
11:05It's all coming back to me.
11:10Hey!
11:10Hey!
11:11It's unnatural. A cheat. But you're strong again. No. If I stay here, I'll be weaker than ever. I heard
11:18a noise, sir. Something wrong. We're leaving. Afraid that's not in the boss's plans. I don't care about the boss's
11:26plans. Then I'll tell her myself.
11:28Are you serious?
11:45Shall we?
11:46After you.
11:51Let's go.
12:04We're out of here right now.
12:13I gave orders not to be disturbed.
12:15It's him.
12:16That's Raish.
12:19Raish.
12:20Bruce.
12:21I heard him tell ya. Where's Raish?
12:24I did not want you to find out this way. But I suppose what is done, is done.
12:30Detective.
12:31What?
12:42The bite isn't what finishes him, you know. That's just to get a good grip.
12:47Is that right?
12:48Oh, yeah. You should stick around to watch sometime, Mikey. It's fascinating.
12:54Get help, girl.
12:55Huh.
12:56What?
12:56I like to watch.
12:58Is that so wrong?
12:59Just throw him in.
13:10Oh, no you don't.
13:26It is fascinating.
13:28Huh.
13:33Security!
13:40You always were the perfect specimen, detective. Even old age has not softened you as much as I had feared.
13:47I should have known you'd cheat death again, Raish.
13:51I don't cheat death, I master it. Though I assure you this time my longevity comes at a price, most
13:57dear.
13:58Talia.
14:01I did indeed survive our last battle, but my body was broken far beyond the pit's powers to heal.
14:08In order to save my life, I called upon Talia to undertake the ultimate act of loyalty.
14:15You sacrificed her.
14:16Your own daughter.
14:18I did what I had to do.
14:20At the time, this computer could only imprint my thoughts and memories on a close genetic match.
14:26But now, this youthful form has served its purpose.
14:30I must move on to a new host body.
14:33Yours.
14:34Sure, Raish, why not? Anything to hold off the Grim Reaper another few seconds.
14:39I take it back. You don't cheat death. You whimper in fear of it.
14:46Silence!
14:49And you hit like a girl.
14:57You take your men down to the beach. You search a swamp. Nothing leaves us to stay. Do you understand?
15:03Yes, sir.
15:17Where's Wayne?
15:19Don't waste your contempt on me, detective.
15:23When Talia offered you youth again, you fairly drool to take it.
15:31A simple blow to your ego. That staged incident with the flat tire was all I needed to ensnare you.
15:38I guess for a moment I was as weak as you, Raish.
15:43This computer will finally still that insolent tongue. I've refined it so I no longer need a genetic match. Your
15:52brain waves will be purged as mine are implanted in their place.
15:56I shall return to Gotham in your stead, bringing with me proof, both written and genetic, that I am the
16:03long forgotten son of Bruce Wayne and Talia. How ironic that your company and holdings will fund my new empire.
16:13It won't happen.
16:14It won't happen.
16:15No!
16:16Lady, that is the sickest thing I've ever seen.
16:18You're creeping me out.
16:20You? She kissed me.
16:23You?
16:36I underestimated you, boy!
16:39I won't do so again.
16:42Ha!
16:53Look out!
17:03Boo!
17:24Yeah!
17:32No! I need the computer! It must be destroyed!
17:37Really?
17:52Good.
17:57It's safe.
18:06I'm going back.
18:08Maybe I can still save him.
18:09Whatever was in there died years ago.
18:35More gray hair today.
18:37I'm not crying.
18:39Within a week, I should be back to normal.
18:41I'm sorry I never met her.
18:43The real Talia.
18:44She was a very special woman.
18:46The special woman?
18:47You going on patrol sometime tonight?
18:50See you in the morning.
18:59Rest well, beloved.
19:08Whoa.
19:11Whoa.
19:12Whoa.
