Tara Strong: Batgirl, Barbara Gordon

Quotes 

• Barbara Gordon : [as Barbara decends into the Batcave]  Oh, my god.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Master Bruce, I -

  [notices Barbara] 

  Alfred Pennyworth : Ms. Gordon, I uh, see you've discovered our little secret. Yes, I admit it, I am Batman.

  Bruce Wayne : It's all right, Alfred.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Very good, sir.

  Barbara Gordon : Why would you trust me with this?

  Bruce Wayne : For Dick's sake. Besides, I'm not the only one with a secret, am I... Batgirl?

  Barbara Gordon : How did you - ?

  Bruce Wayne : I make it my business to know.

• Barbara Gordon : [At Dick's graduation]  You must be so proud of Dick.

  Alfred Pennyworth : He's like a second son, you know.

• Barbara Gordon : He was so upset he couldn't even talk about it. It wasn't the first time I've seen him like that. What is it between you two? What's going on?

  Bruce Wayne : You really care for him, don't you?

  [Barbara nods] 

  Bruce Wayne : Follow me.

• Bruce Wayne : Alfred, contact Robin.

  Alfred Pennyworth : I've already tried, sir. I'm afraid he's not answering

  Bruce Wayne : Keep trying. The Joker will have his goons well-placed. I'm gonna need back-up.

  Barbara Gordon : You've already got it.

• Robin (Dick Grayson) : Batgirl. I still can't believe it. How could you keep something like this from me?

  Batgirl : You weren't exactly honest with me, either.

  Robin (Dick Grayson) : But you told him.

  Batgirl : He knew.

  Batman : It wasn't my place to tell you.

  Robin (Dick Grayson) : But it was your place to put her in danger.

  Batgirl : It wasn't like that. I volunteered!

  Robin (Dick Grayson) : You think you did. You don't know him like I do. He manipulates, pulls strings, anything to get what he wants.

  Batman : I thought we had the same goals.

  Robin (Dick Grayson) : Things change. I've changed. The game's over, Batman. I quit.

  Batman : Robin, wait.

  [Batman grabs Robin's shoulder. Robin then turns around and hits Batman in the face] 

• Barbara Gordon : So, Mr. Grayson, tell me, now that you're out of school, what will you do? Become another one of the idle rich?

  Dick Grayson : Ha! Don't think so. I'm ready to be my own man. No more sponging off Bruce.

  Barbara Gordon : Oh, a vow of poverty?

  Dick Grayson : No. I've got a trust fund from the circus. It's an insurance settlement from when my folks died.

  [taking her hand] 

  Dick Grayson : But whatever my future holds, I hope it includes you.
