Tornado Tyrant: Father, and Uncle Batman. How lovely to see you. But I'm afraid I'm in no mood for a family reunion. Batman: That makes two of us.
Batman: There's a difference between justice and revenge. Tornado Champion: The difference is that revenge is more efficient. Batman: The difference is morality. Tornado Champion: Morality!? I am above human morality!!
Tornado Champion: The humans seem so fragile, father. Red Tornado: In many ways, they are. But they also possess an astonishing inner strength. Tornado Champion: Do I also possess inner strength? Red Tornado: Only time will tell. Tornado Champion: But I want to know now. Red Tornado: As the humans say, "patience is a virtue."
Batman: Creating life in a laboratory is a dangerous game. Red Tornado: Observation: I have no delusions of perfection. I have installed a failsafe switch that can instantly shut my son down, should he malfunction. Batman: Did you say "son"? Red Tornado: Family is something we all long for, even a robot.
Batman: The only thing more harrowing than taking down Joker is taking down Joker while he's behind the wheel of a car.
Green Arrow: Well, Bats, I guess you beat me. Yeah, right. Batman: This is never going to end, is it? Green Arrow: I certainly hope not.
Red Tornado: Observation: I startled you. Batman: Nobody startles me.
Batman: So why am I here? Red Tornado: As I am ready to initiate the activation protocols, I thought it would be best to have you on hand to verify the results. Batman: You wanted to share this moment with a friend. Understood.
Tornado Champion: Observation: You are reasonably useful for a biological life-form. Batman: Please, you'll make my head swell.
Tornado Champion: But why is there evil in the world? Red Tornado: Human philosophers have endeavored to answer that question for thousands of years, Son, and have yet to find an adequate answer. Tornado Champion: Do you have an answer, Father? Red Tornado: No answers. Just an observation: human kindness is far preferable to human cruelty. Tornado Champion: Why is it preferable? Red Tornado: Because. Tornado Champion: "Because" is not a logical answer, Father. Red Tornado: Perhaps not, but based upon my studies of humankind, it is the only answer.
Red Tornado: You have caused much destruction and much suffering. Tornado Tyrant: Are you going to send me to my room without supper?
Red Tornado: You cannot do this. They deserve better. Tornado Tyrant: Please, Father. They're worthless biological jokes. This planet which they have abused and poisoned will thrive without them. Red Tornado: Not jokes. They aspire. They dare to... dream. To reach out to each other. To love. Tornado Tyrant: Blah, blah, blah. Red Tornado: Declaration: You cannot mock love, for it was love that created you. Tornado Tyrant: You are a fool.
Red Tornado: You were correct, Batman. I never should have attempted this. Who am I to fathom the depths of human emotion? The nature of human existence? Batman: I heard what you said back there, Red. You understand the human heart better than most. In fact, I think in seeking to make him human, you found your own humanity. Red Tornado: Observation: You proceed from a false assumption. I offered no insights. I simply parroted that which I have read in books. Seen in films, observed in all of you. I cannot grasp humanity. I am merely a machine. And so is he.
Batman: You okay? Red Tornado: Why would I not be? Batman: Take care, Tornado. Red Tornado: (shedding a tear) Oily discharge. I must run an internal diagnostic.
