Batman: The Brave and the Bold (TV Series)

Sidekicks Assemble! (2010)

John DiMaggio: Aquaman, Ubu

Quotes 

• Aquaman : I think I should call this adventure "The time Batman sent us to the wrong island."

• Aquaman : Don't be so hard on yourself, old chum. Just think of him as the big one that got away. And even bad deeds can result in some good. The destruction of that cannon has given the sealife off Coast City a chance at renewal.

  Green Arrow : And the kids did okay on their own.

  Aquaman : [seeing Aqualad and Speedy enter]  Speak of the devilfish. Congratulations, lad. All of Atlantis shall know of your heroics. And I shall call this adventure...

  Aqualad : "The Time Aqualad Finally Got Some Well-Deserved Credit"?

  Aquaman : Um, okay.

  Green Arrow : Hey, listen, kid. I'm sorry about all the lousy stuff I made you do. Guess I've been a little out of line.

  Speedy : Ah, jeepers, Arrow, you haven't been out of line. You've been a jerk.

  Batman : Aqualad, Speedy, where's Robin?

  Nightwing : Robin's left the building. You've trained me well, Batman. But from now on, I make my own decisions, call my own shots. And my new name is...

  Batman : Nightwing.

  Nightwing : Hey... actually, that's not bad. Thanks.

• Speedy : Golly, our first real solo mission. I'm excited. Aren't you excited?

  Aqualad : Yeah. Thrilled. Hey, genius, are you sure you picked the right island?

  Robin : Fishboy, if there's one thing I know, it's how Batman thinks.

  Batman : [on their island]  If there's one thing I know, it's how Robin thinks.

  Aquaman : You knew from the outset that Robin would assume you were trying to trick him.

  Batman : Which is why I was completely honest in my description of the two missions. Our young wards will be investigating a completely uninhabited island, while we'll be infiltrating Ra's al Ghul's secret headquarters.

  Aquaman : Impressive ploy, old chum. Wouldn't you say, Arrow?

  Green Arrow : I would if I understood it. Seriously, my head hurts.

• Batman : Alpha six formation! Now! Aquaman, stay in formation.

  Aquaman : I am, old chum. You're the one out of position.

  Green Arrow : Wait. Did you say alpha five or six?

• Ra's Al Ghul : Welcome, detective. A shame I can't be there to greet you myself.

  Batman : Then the kids...

  Aquaman : You mean...?

  Batman : They chose the right island.

• Batman : Hold it right there.

  Aquaman : Aqualad?

  Green Arrow : Speedy?

  Batman : Robin? What are you doing here?

  Robin : Kicking butt. What does it look like?

  Batman : This is no time for a training mission, Robin.

  Green Arrow : These are Ra's al Ghul's henchmen.

  Aquaman : Run home now and we'll tell you all about this adventure later.

  Aqualad : We were handling this fine 'til you got here.

  Aquaman : Neptune's beard, they're gone.

  Speedy : Gee whiz, we were only trying to...

  Green Arrow : Get in the way? Well, mission accomplished.

  Batman : Robin, perhaps it's time we compared notes at the Hall of Justice.

• Batman : Robin, the journey from sidekick to hero is paved with...

  Robin : Save the cliches, Batman. We've paid our dues. We want a real mission.

  Batman : I suppose you've earned a chance to prove yourselves. Therefore, I'm going to let you take your pick between two missions. Ra's al Ghul is planning another assault using an environmental weapon. The infrared satellites have picked up abnormal solar-cell activity on this island, 20 miles offshore from Coast City. A possible indicator of his base of operations. There have also been some minor seismic shifts recorded on an unpopulated island nearby. But the intel on that location is weak, at best.

  Robin : You are so predictable, Batman.

  Batman : Excuse me?

  Robin : You're trying to trick me into picking the first mission, which sounds all cool and dangerous but is probably a waste of time, instead of the second mission, which sounds totally boring but is the one that secretly kicks butt.

  Aquaman : Say what?

  Robin : Well, I've got news for you, Bats. I'm not falling for your little bait and switch.

  Batman : I have no idea what you're talking about.

  Robin : Yeah, right. We'll take the second island. You know, the "boring" one. Come on, guys, let's move.
