00:00I am the knight. I am Batman. Batman. Batman. There is a song the good folks sing. Song the good
00:10folks sing. Batman. About a girl on the wing. He. That's actually Kevin Conroy's singing voice for this Batman stage
00:23actor.
00:24Come on the wing. Batman. I am Gotham's darkest night. The villain's darkest pride. Turn on the signal light. For
00:37Batman. Batman.
00:54You hate me, don't you? Lighten up. It's your birthday. Don't remind me.
01:01Jeez. Getting old is a pain.
01:08Good work, Caped Crusader. Once again, you've saved our fair city from those vile miscreants.
01:13They were no problem, Commissioner. For as we all know, criminals are...
01:18A superstitious, cowardly lot. They plan and plot, but they always get caught. Their evil schemes all come to naught.
01:27A superstitious, cowardly lot.
01:32Come on, it took me weeks to get tickets for this show. It's Shway.
01:36It's Schwarj.
01:38Schwarj, that's your voice acting.
01:42Excuse me. One side, please. Move!
01:44A superstitious, cowardly lot.
01:49They always get caught.
01:59Ah, crap.
02:05Is it done?
02:07Oh, yes.
02:13Damn.
02:18Whatever happened to the first three?
02:31One.
02:32I know you loved her, but I cannot believe you did not...
02:35Talia?
02:36Talia, who?
02:37Save a picture of me as well.
02:41Talia.
02:44Talia.
02:44Happy birthday, Bruce.
02:46Roast pheasant with truffle risotto.
02:48Just like we shared in that little bistro in Milan.
02:52I can't eat that anymore.
02:54I'm sorry. I didn't think.
02:56It's been years, Talia.
02:58What a waste of a good meal.
03:00It seems the Lazarus Pit agrees with you.
03:02Time has not tempered your sarcasm, beloved.
03:05My father used the Lazarus Pit as a crutch.
03:09It is a gift, Bruce.
03:10One which must be used wisely.
03:13A gift I would now share with you.
03:17A superstitious, cowardly lot.
03:20It's a great show.
03:21The music, the action.
03:23The timing is impeccable.
03:25Hmm.
03:27What are you eating?
03:27It smells...
03:30Gorgeous.
03:32Terry, this is Talia, an old friend.
03:35Talia.
03:36I've been aware of Mr. McGuinness for some time.
03:38With a new Batman in action, I knew he had to be someone close to you.
03:42Terry was the only candidate.
03:44I've heard about you, too.
03:46You're the daughter of Raz Al Ghul, one of the old man's worst enemies from way back.
03:50You helped the original Batman fight Raz.
03:52His race.
03:52Raz, one last time in the near apocalypse of 09.
03:55For the last couple of decades, you've been putting your father's money to work cleaning up the mess he made.
04:00Current residence is a 200-acre estate on New Cuba.
04:03What?
04:04Did you think I was down here playing vid games?
04:06Very thorough, Terry.
04:08Though father's name was pronounced Rache, not Raz.
04:11A common mistake.
04:12Fair enough.
04:13Now maybe you'll clear up another mystery.
04:15Why are you here?
04:17Hmm.
04:17Why are you here?
04:18To wish an old friend happy birthday and offer him a gift.
04:24Please consider it, Bruce.
04:27Stay well, beloved.
04:29Eternal youth!
04:34Eternal youth?
04:35You're slamming me.
04:37That's what I thought at first.
04:38But after everything I've read on Talia and her father, I believe it.
04:41Do you think the old man's gonna do it?
04:43Doubtful.
04:44Well, I'll take his place.
04:45Sorry, Max.
04:47Wayne said those Lazarus pits are more trouble than they're worth.
04:51Still, he did waver.
04:53There are times I can see he wishes it was still him in the suit instead of me.
04:56You think if he takes the plunge, that'll end your bad nights?
05:00Well, now that you mention it, could be.
05:04I think the city could still use, uh, the new Batman.
05:25Hey, quick, Terry.
05:30Beautiful.
05:45Car trouble, old-timer?
05:48I can manage.
05:49That's why you need to get here quick, Terry.
05:52Adventure.
05:53We'll be happy to call roadside service.
05:55Daily, help Grandpa find his car.
06:04Keep away from me, you old freak!
06:06Are you serious?
06:07Now, now, now he's an old freak once he's not defenseless anymore.
06:12You're, you're, you're, you're, you're lucky he's not in his prime.
06:19Oh, oh, oh, hey, stop!
06:22Let her go!
06:26You wanna?
06:27Very, very, very, very poor choice of words, Bruce.
06:32Come on, you've been in the game, in the, in the superhero game over 55 years.
06:38Very, very poor choice of words.
06:42Never tell somebody to let somebody go.
06:47You'll catch him!
06:56Come on!
07:03Oh, no.
07:13The suit scanner picked up your car's distress beacon.
07:16You okay?
07:17Uh-huh.
07:21Even a few years ago, I could have gotten us both to safety.
07:26Okay.
07:29I shouldn't be here.
07:31I'm not even sure why I came.
07:34Today, I felt completely helpless.
07:36If Terry hadn't been there, both that girl and I would have been killed.
07:41Perhaps it was fate's way of giving you another chance.
07:44For years, you've devoted yourself to this city.
07:47It has taken your youth, your strength, and very nearly your life.
07:51No one has earned a second chance more than you.
07:54I was never looking for any reward.
07:56Then do it for me, Bruce.
07:59I want to broaden my philanthropic corporation.
08:02After all Bruce has done for Gotham, he's earned about 150 chances.
08:08Do it.
08:10To every nation, think of the good we could do if we joined forces.
08:15A dream for the world, and a dream for ourselves.
08:21The pilot says we're cleared for landing, Mum.
08:24Thank you, Carter.
08:26You've been so quiet.
08:28Both of you.
08:30I'm having second thoughts.
08:31I understand your reluctance, Bruce.
08:34You saw the pit's effect on my father.
08:36I assure you the process is now much safer.
08:40It's not that.
08:41I'm wondering if I have the right to do this at all.
08:43We've been through all that.
08:46This is our time now.
08:49And I know what's on your mind, Terry.
08:52You're worried that when Bruce becomes young, he'll want to be Batman again.
08:55I'll tell you right now, there's no way I'm wearing the Robin suit.
08:58Don't worry.
08:59Bruce's late nights are over.
09:01I'll be keeping him close by me at all times.
09:11Well, what's the catch?
09:14Terry?
09:15Oh, sorry.
09:16Guess I got caught up in old Raz here.
09:18It's race.
09:21Come on.
09:22You went over this like yesterday.
09:25Grace Al Ghul was a man of many contrasts.
09:28Leader, environmentalist.
09:31Sociopath.
09:34Sorry.
09:35I was going to say father.
09:37I think that's how he'd like to be remembered.
09:41The man was...
09:44A tyrant who was around like 400 something years.
09:48Probably killed a bunch of people.
09:51Tried to kill Batman.
09:53It was going to kill like half the world's population.
09:57I believe.
10:01And then...
10:02Rule over the survivors.
10:05Or something like that.
10:06I don't care how he would be...
10:08Like to be remembered.
10:21Let me say again how safe the process is, beloved.
10:25There will be no pain.
10:27Let's get it over with.
10:35She thinks Batman cares about pain.
10:46She thinks Batman cares about pain.
10:52Come on.
10:55She thinks Batman cares about pain.
11:01I don't care about pain.
11:03I don't care.
11:03I don't care.
11:07I don't care.
11:08Enough.
11:10Enough.
11:11Enough.
11:12Enough.
11:14Enough.
11:19I'll put him in there a little bit longer, he's like 80 years old.
11:34He's so young.
11:36Bruce, you okay?
11:39You only aged him down to early to mid fifties?
11:44What's your scheme here?
11:52A side effect of the pit's restorative powers.
11:58Believe me, it's not nearly as bad as it once was.
12:03That's not reassuring.
12:10That's not very reassuring.
12:11That's what I just said.
12:16Good morning, br-
12:20I left in some grey. I thought it looked distinguished.
12:24Like Rache.
12:25Thank you for the miracle, Talia. Thank you for restoring my youth.
12:30You didn't- you technically didn't restore his youth.
12:34You restored him to older middle age.
12:39It's not youth.
12:45I'm sorry. I don't mean to be ungrateful.
12:48It's just that this is so new.
12:50I understand.
12:51It will take several more immersions before the rejuvenation truly sets in.
12:55But you will accept it all in time.
13:06Wow.
13:07I always wondered what you were like at your peak.
13:10Now I have some idea.
13:11Not quite at my peak.
13:13But certainly better than I've been capable of in years.
13:15The agility, the stamina, everything.
13:17It's all coming back to me.
13:21Hey!
13:23It's unnatural.
13:24A cheat.
13:25But you're strong again.
13:27No.
13:27If I stay here, I'll be weaker than ever.
13:30I heard-
13:30You're gonna pay for that mirror.
13:32The noise, sir.
13:35Something wrong.
13:36We're leaving.
13:37Afraid that's not in the boss's plan, sir.
13:42Bad men.
13:44Two of them.
13:45Bad men do not care about any boss's plans.
13:48Then I'll tell her myself.
13:50Blood and Rhapsody!
14:03Three of them.
14:04You throw like a ragdoll.
14:07You're fifteen feet tall for nothing.
14:14Shall we?
14:15After you.
14:33We're out of here right now.
14:39It's not to be disturbed.
14:41It's him, Raish.
14:45Yeah, Raish, it's over.
14:48Come out.
14:49Come out of hiding.
14:52They just beat your guys 307 to 2.
14:57Uh, 307 versus 2 matchup.
15:01Bruce!
15:02I heard him tell ya.
15:03Where's Raish?
15:05I did not want you to find out this way.
15:07But I suppose what is done is done.
15:11Detective.
15:15Ahhhh!
15:20Are you serious?
15:23Talia is Raish.
15:28The bite isn't what finishes him, you know.
15:31That's just to get a good grip.
15:33Is that right?
15:34Oh, yeah.
15:35You should stick around to watch sometime, Mikey.
15:38It's fascinating.
15:41Get help, Carl.
15:42What?
15:43You know you're a messed up guy.
15:45When the other person who kills people is telling you to get help.
15:51I like to watch.
15:53Is that so wrong?
15:54Is that so wrong?
15:55Just throw him in.
16:04Oh, no you don't.
16:21It is fascinating.
16:26Shame he made it out alive.
16:32Security!
16:39You always were the perfect specimen, detective.
16:43Even old age has not softened you as much as I had feared.
16:46I should have known you'd cheat death again, Raish.
16:49I don't cheat death.
16:51I master it.
16:52Though I assure you this time my longevity comes at a price, most dear.
16:57Talia.
17:00I did indeed survive our last battle, but my body was broken far beyond the pit's powers to heal.
17:07In order to save my life, I called upon Talia to undertake the ultimate act of loyalty.
17:14You sacrificed her.
17:15Your own daughter.
17:17I did what I had to do.
17:19At the time-
17:20Is that really what you had to do?
17:24You've been walking around as a woman for 30 years.
17:30Doing who knows what.
17:32Is there something you want to tell us?
17:35You know.
18:04Silence!
18:07And you hit like a girl.
18:15You take your men down to the beach.
18:18You search the swamp.
18:19Nothing leaves this estate.
18:21Do you understand?
18:22Yes, sir.
18:26Oh, some people are leaving the estate.
18:47Where's Wayne?
18:49Don't waste your contempt on me, detective.
18:53When Talia offered you youth again, you fairly drool to take it.
19:01A simple blow to your ego.
19:03That staged incident with the flat tie was all I needed to ensnare you.
19:09I guess for a moment I was as weak as you, Race.
19:14This computer will finally still that insolent tongue.
19:18I've refined it so I no longer need a genetic match.
19:22Your brain waves will be purged as mine are implanted in their place.
19:27I shall return to Gotham in your stead, bringing with me proof both written and genetic that I am the
19:33long forgotten son of Bruce Wayne and Talia.
19:36How ironic that your company and holdings will fund my new empire.
19:41Are you serious?
19:46That's why he had to be that specific age.
19:52See?
19:59I told you it was fishy.
20:07No!
20:08Lady, that is the sickest thing I've ever seen.
20:11You're creeping me out.
20:13You?
20:13She kissed me.
20:29I underestimated you, boy.
20:31I won't do so again.
20:33Ha!
20:46Look out!
21:06You fried up real quick.
21:12AHHHHH!
21:16Be destroyed!
21:37They managed to save it it's safe
21:50I'm going back maybe I can still save it whatever was in there died years ago
22:06No Talia no race no all glues
22:12Well
22:19Well that's the end of one of those Batman robes the original
22:39More gray hair today, I'm not crying within a week. I should be back to normal. I'm sorry. I never
22:46met her
22:47The real Talia. She was a very special woman
22:51She's so special. Why does she dress like Lois Lane in that picture?
22:57The special one you going on patrol sometime tonight
23:01See you in the morning
23:09Rest well beloved
23:17I appreciate her
23:18Music
